'Bigfoot Day' draws families to Garden of the Gods Outpost for community event WPSD Local 6View the full article

In Greg Long's The Making of Bigfoot at pages 444-448, Philip Morris describes the history of his costume company. According to him, the company began because there were no inexpensive gorilla suits that magic acts, theater groups, and other entertainers could afford, so he decided to fill the void. Greg Long's book states that in the 1960s, Morris was selling the gorilla suits from the basement of his house in Charlotte, North Carolina. Morris advertised his gorilla suits in Amusement Business magazine and speculated that because the magazine carried about rodeo shows and personalities, Roger Patterson saw an advertisement for his gorilla suits in "an August 1967 issue" of the magazine. Morris goes on to say that he first received a phone call from Roger Patterson inquiring about a Morris gorilla suit around August 1967. Morris states that he was selling gorilla suits "back then" (i.e., in 1967) for $335 but later raised their price $435. However, a copy of the advertisement from the December 1967 issue of Amusement Business (provided by Morris to Long) shows that Morris's gorilla suits had been priced at $750 and were reduced in December to $435.1 The Morris Costume Company did not receive much, if any, attention in the press until 1980. The earliest significant article was published in The Daily Inter Lake of Kalispell, Montana, on August 13, 1980. Seems like making the best Bigfoot costume ever would have been worth mentioning. The company was also mentioned in the Daily American Republic of Poplar Bluff, Missouri on November 10, 1980. Seems like making the best Bigfoot costume ever would have been worth mentioning. The November 4, 1982 article in The Daily Star of Hammond, Louisiana included a picture of Philip Morris with some of his finest creations. Seems like a replica of the best Bigfoot costume ever would have been included in this group. 1 I've located a museum that claims to have archives of Amusement Business magazine and requested copies of certain things from two August 1967 issues.

In the past I've received a warning point for a comment that was much milder but was perceived as political commentary, which is restricted to the Tar Pit. However, I primarily respond to note that it may not be a YouTube video creator limiting viewing to the US, but it may be other countries restricting access. Without offering any commentary on the wisdom or need for doing so, I understand that both Canada and the European Union now have stringent requirements to prevent "fake news." Since these types of things are usually performed by computer algorithms, there are often many unintended limitations in what can or cannot be seen in such places. Don't have any idea what's actually preventing someone from viewing this clip. Usually, when I have a problem its because the computers are actively conspiring to make themselves as annoying as possible to me.

Greg Long's book The Making of Bigfoot contains a useful chapter on Philip Morris, 1935 - 2017, who claimed to have made the "the Bigfoot suit for a famous film" according to AI. This chapter is useful because it locks in Philip Morris's story about how he sold the gorilla suit used in the P-G film to Roger Patterson.1 More on that later. An abbreviated autobiography of Philip Morris can be found at https://www.circusesandsideshows.com/performers/phillipmorris.html. It should be acknowledged that Philip Morris was apparently a talented and hard-working entertainer. He was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan and was performing publicly as a magician at a young age, as shown in this article from The Kalamazoo Gazette on October 21, 1953. In 1960 Philip Morris started, and starred in, Dr. Evil's Horror Theater - a show like Svengoolie, Elvira Mistress of the Dark, and Chilly Billy Cardille, where hosts showed old horror movies and interjected humor (of a sort). This photo shows Philip Morris (seated) and may or may not include one of his gorilla costumes. By 1967 and 1968, Philip Morris was performing his Wonderful World of Fantasy nationwide, a show which continued into the 1970s. Morris told Greg Long that he began making gorilla costumes in the basement of his house and was selling them to circuses and vaudeville shows which could not afford the high price of a Hollywood gorilla suit (which were usually owned by the actors who played gorillas themself). It is one of these gorilla suits that was allegedly used by Roger Patterson to create Patty. 1 Philip Morris apparently first claimed to have sold Roger Patterson a gorilla costume during a August 16, 2002 interview on WBT-AM, Charlotte, North Carolina radio. He was also interviewed, apparently briefly, on the issue by Ormon Grimsby on September 16, 2009. See http://www.horrorhostgraveyard.com/2009/09/ormon-grimsby-interviews-dr-evil.html. This interview was identified by Forums member Apeman; however the link to the actual interview (http://mcftv.com/) is now dead.

We're in TN, USA. Although, with all the bs in 'the states' these days, Canada often seems like it would be better. I don't know why anyone would restrict a youtube video to the US only, but apparently that does happen.

Tonight’s guest, Todd Neiss, was featured on Episode 410. On that show, he talked about his first Sasquatch sighting. That was an experience that literally reshaped the course of his life. Fast forward to present day and Todd is now the cofounder of the American Primate Conservancy. He’s held multiple Sasquatch-focused town halls, he’s one of the most highly sought after guest speakers at Bigfoot conferences, and he’s been featured on numerous Sasquatch documentaries. On tonight’s show, Todd will be bringing us up to speed on what he’s been up to, in the two years since he was last featured on the show. We hope you’ll listen to him do that. If you’ve had a Sasquatch sighting that you’d like to share with Todd, please visit the American Primate Conservancy’s website and contact him that way… https://americanprimate.org/ AmericanPrimate@aol.com If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Nope, that goes to the video, I see the intro picture, then "video not available" pops up. Are you in Canada?

A weekend deep in the Smoky Mountains turns into one of the most unsettling investigations ever discussed on Bigfoot Society. Doc Brown from the Prometheus Lens Podcast shares firsthand experiences from a remote East Tennessee research area tied to Harley Owens, Robbie Ferrell, and legendary investigator Scott Carpenter. Investigators document massive humanoid tracks, three-toed prints, strange screams in the darkness, glowing orbs moving through the trees, and infrared sightings of towering figures surrounding camp. Multiple experienced outdoorsmen report overwhelming fear while deep in the woods near an abandoned graveyard and hidden hog pen in the mountains. The conversation dives into Bigfoot encounters, Dogman reports, ancient giant traditions, Nephilim theories, paranormal activity in Appalachia, and why certain locations seem to carry generations of unexplained phenomena. This episode includes: Sasquatch encounters in East TennesseeEx-military investigators fleeing the woodsStrange vocalizations recorded near campReports of orbs and shadow-like entitiesStories connected to Scott Carpenter’s research areasBiblical giant and Nephilim theories tied to Bigfoot loreAppalachian paranormal activity and cryptid encountersIf you enjoy serious witness interviews, deep Bigfoot lore, Appalachian mysteries, and unexplained encounters in remote wilderness areas, this is an episode you’ll want to hear from beginning to end.

Found on a Facebook site, presented as I found it. Presented for your perusal. I don't know its veracity. It does align with some of my thoughts: Here's what BFRO's founder, Matt Moneymaker said about the new Patterson Gimlin film documentary: BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) - est. 1995 Matthew John Moneymaker · There is a film festival entry at South by Southwest (Austin TX) called “Capturing Bigfoot”. I can save you the time and frustration from watching this clickbait crock. I was going to ignore this story, but the clickbait potency of the keyword “Bigfoot” has helped the story get into the Hollywood Reporter newspaper (very influential), so I am forced to comment on something that I would prefer to not even dignify. It was known at the time, and since that time in the late 1960's, that real life cowboy Roger Patterson was trying to make a documentary about the Bigfoot/Sasquatch mystery when he and Bob Gimlin obtained their famous footage in 1967. He shot a lot of footage, but mostly B-roll. They were from Washington State. The famous 1967 footage was shot in northern California. Most of the other stock footage was shot in Washington State, where this old reel was found. As with EVERY OTHER big documentary and TV series about the Bigfoot subject, Roger wanted to dramatize a few bigfoot encounters, which required using a man in cheap costume. ALL big documentaries and TV series on the Bigfoot subject (until CGI & AI) have had a Bigfoot costume on hand for various re-creation shots — shots which are not presented as actual footage of the creature. It was a necessary part of the visual storytelling for the Bigfoot subject. Patterson’s wife Patricia recalls the use of a cheap costume for this purpose, though she only saw it one time when it was not being worn. The "long lost reel" that is being touted by these sleazy producers at South by Southwest is just story recreation footage using this hokey dramatization costume which bigfoot researchers have known about for years. The lost reel from Washington shows an obvious human is an obvious cheap ape costume. It looks nothing like the actual creature they got on camera in California. Because of that stark difference these sleazy producers are trying to spin this cheap costume for dramatizations as a "trial run" for the eventual 1967 costume. The simple fact that no one has ever been able to duplicate the 1967 “costume”, with all its anatomical peculiarites and massive musculature, has shown sensible people for more than 50 years that it is not a costume. There have been several well-funded and well-staffed attempts to similate what you see in the footage. All of those efforts failed. National Geographic at one time touted the bogus Hieronymous costume story (he claims he was the man in the costume), then years later aired an episode of a different series where the footage was examined with the most modern techniques and computer enhancement and measurement analysis. That subsequent Nat Geo program revealed a foot anatomy on the Patterson creature that is impossible to fake with a man in a costume, so it was determined that the Patterson creature could NOT have been a man in a costume. This recent film festival entry called "Capturing Bigfoot" is just one in long parade of sleazy deceptive productions since the 1990's that have regurgitated and repackaged long-debunked claims because the ploy will still get some cultural traction, riding on the enduring popularity of the bigfoot mystery. It is just a cinematic form of clickbait, as are the news stories about the film, some of which have a subscription paywall in front of the article … for all you Bigfoot diehards who they assume will pay to read about this film … Roger’s son Clint is being paid by the producers of the film. He was flown down to the film festival to give interviews. His mother Patricia knows that the 1967 Patterson film is legitimate and there was no hoax. She has said that very firmly her entire life since that time. Clint waited til his mother was around 100 years old before he took money to sell his deceased father down the river. Clint was very young when the 1967 footage was obtained, and not much older when his father died from cancer. He has no direct knowledge about his father’s accomplishment except what he knows from his estranged mother, and what he has heard from his new pal Bob Hieronymus. Patricia has always said that Roger did not fake the PGF. She would know much better than Clint, though not as well as Roger’s partner Bob Gimlin, who is also still living.

Found another article while searching for something else (of course). From The Cleveland (OH) Press on August 30, 1930.

A witness spends five days alone in the Arkansas Ozarks… Then the footsteps begin. What starts as quiet movement outside a remote bushcraft shelter turns into constant surveillance from unseen beings moving through the trees around him day and night. The sounds get closer. Vocalizations begin. Stones land near camp. Then something responds directly to his thoughts. In this episode, Jackson shares a lifetime of encounters stretching from the swamps of Florida to the mountains of North Carolina and deep into the forests of Arkansas. He describes a face-to-face encounter with a towering Sasquatch beside a river near Boone, unexplained activity surrounding camp in the Ozarks, and Cherokee teachings about “the Sasquatch people” and Mind Speak communication. This is one of the most intense wilderness encounter interviews ever featured on Bigfoot Society. Originally released as Episode 515 on September 2, 2024. If you listen late at night, you may not look at the woods the same way again. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?
