Killer Bigfoot evidence rejected by Bigfoot’s biggest fans

Feedback, keen to watch a new Bigfoot documentary that uncovers some intriguing new evidence involving an ape costume, is unsurprised by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization's take on the footage

Killer Bigfoot evidence rejected by Bigfoot’s biggest fans

In a controversial documentary, filmmaker Marq Evans uncovered footage that suggests the iconic Bigfoot encounter filmed in 1967 was staged. The footage, shot by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin, has long been considered a pivotal piece of evidence for the existence of the mythical creature. However, Evans found a lost piece of 16-millimetre film from 1966 that appears to show a rehearsal for the actual film.

Additionally, the documentary revealed that Patterson's associate, Bob Heironimus, confessed to wearing an ape costume during the filming. While many Bigfoot enthusiasts have dismissed this evidence as "self-sealing" proof of the conspiracy, it appears that Evans and his team may have stumbled upon a significant twist in the legend of Bigfoot.
