Squatchy McSquatch said, "Roger Patterson once claimed..." when in fact it was actually Harvey Anderson who claimed Patterson told him that, as well as other questionable stuff in my opinion. It's whether you believe Long an Harvey Anderson, myself, not really. For all I know Anderson could be recallin' the image Patterson used in his book to go with the story of Ben Wilder told of bein' awakened from his sleep in his car.
"According to Anderson, Patterson claimed he not only seen Bigfoot, but that it had had touched his car and had actually lifted up one end." http://www.bigfootencounters.com/articles/korff04.htm
Back in my younger days, we'd try a pick up vehicles so that you could slide a bill(money)under the tire, got quite a few up. Although these days, I kinda regret a lifetime of luggin' an liftin' for a livin' haha...kinda.
