      Yes it does.    Most Bigfoot videos including this “gotcha” video we haven't the foggiest idea where the film site is.   Yes McClarin and Patty may be misaligned by a few feet. Albeit the sticks and stumps are lining up close. But a few feet? Yah. McClarin is walking pattys track way. Its still visible. But John Green and Roger Patterson almost assuredly are not standing in the exact spot. But close.   Thats ALOT better metric than a flat ZERO. Where is Todd Standings filmsites? We don't know. Go take a pick from X Y or Z off the youtubes.   The PGF is the most studied Bigfoot film-site in the world. 99.9 percent of them? We have no idea where they were filmed.   Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. As Bill Munns would tell you? There is value in that. 100 percent.   Nothing takes the place of a body of course.   And Bob H. is 6’2” tall.   It’s not Patty’s height that impresses me. It’s her bulk and muscle movement. And it always has.

      Patty's height is only an issue for two reasons:   1)  If the height was so extreme as to be out of human range no human could fit in any suit.  Say Patty is 8 foot tall (she isn't), Patty would NOT be a man in a suit.     2)  If some person of a known height such as Bob Heironimus claimed to be Patty, they must match Patt's height.  If Patty was 6'6" and Bob H was 6'1'' it's pretty hard for Bob H to be Patty.   Jim McClarin could be tall enough at 6'5''.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   HEIGHT:   We must put 1960's heights in perspective:       NBA Heightrs Form the 1960s to Today The height of NBA players has evolved significantly from the 1960s to the present day. Here's a brief overview of the trends: 1960s: The average NBA player was around 6'3" tall, with guards being shorter and forwards taller.   Sure Bill Russell was tall (6'10") but people in general were NOT as tall in the 1960's as they are now.       ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     WEIGHT:   Patty's issue is not so much the height as being massive in size.  You can still be average height for a tall guy and still be really big:   [ A ] Animals   Gorillas are the largest primates, and their size and weight can vary significantly by species and gender. Western Lowland Gorillas: Adult males typically weigh between 300 to 500 pounds (136 to 227 kg) and stand about 4 to 5 feet tall (1.2 to 1.5 meters).  Eastern Lowland Gorillas: Adult males can weigh up to 484 pounds (217 kg) and stand about 5 feet 7 inches tall (1.7 meters).  Mountain Gorillas: Adult males can weigh up to 220 kg (484 lbs) and stand about 5 feet 7 inches tall (1.7 meters).    [ B ] People   Football player size.    6'4'' 315lbs    The "Blind Side" is one inch shorter than Jim McClarin !     Here is HOF defensive player John Randle.  He looks Massive at  just 6'1'  290.          Compare this man just 6'1'' tall to the taller 1960's Jim McClarin.  One seems massive wouldn't you say?     ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------       In summary, the issue with the PGF walking subject of Patty is not the height measured by a tape measure but the MASSIVE nature of Patty.   Just like the Gorilla under 6 feet tall, the massive body speaks for itself:         Give people a chance and they will show you who they are.  Sad.

      Yesterday I read comments on the Sasquatch Odyssey video I posted just above. Wow, some brutal, hurtful comments toward Mr. Munns, including some from "Hairy Man Road," whose video also appears in this thread, dismissing PGF as a hoax. What a jerk he's proven himself.    Bill calmly, respectfully, logically, and with knowledgeable expertise puts forth his views on the new/old footage, even providing the documentary producers with information about the film that they didn't previously know. "Hairy Man Road" proceeds to insult Bill thru comments on a third-party's video. Real class.

      I haven't seen the film.    I'm betting there will be enough clues pointing to an obvious post-PGF filming.     Which came first?   Star Wars 1977       Family Guy Star Wars Episode 2007       In order to try to sell the hoax the film makers MUST have their film/ smoking gun occur BEFORE the PGF.   1 film discovered after mean nothing.  20 films discovered after mean nothing.  It just would represent a curious oddity no more than the fake Gimlin should he ever appear.   If he did, it wouldn't detract from the real Gimlin.

      Mayhaps the creators of the Capturing Sasquatch documentary know that hyping the film up a month prior to its release to the general public is good way to create interest and therefore create a bigger box office for it?   Whats happening right now, the discourse about Capturing Sasquatch and the authenticity of the 1967 PGF is intentional on their part.     I'm saying this prior to seeing the Capturing Sasquatch documentary, its entirely possible some people are trying to make money off a man who died 50+ years ago.  It's one final shot to see if someone can make money off the 1967 PGF.
