If you're wrong about BobH then you just blew him out of proportion when you should simply dismiss him. Why don't you bring up a dead red horse while you're at it? The publicity Bob H. got was: 1) His story was on several different internet media sites. 2) He was on various radio shows giving interviews quite a few years ago; that's where he contradicted himself numerous times. 3) His lie detector test was shown on television. 4) He was on at least one television show that featured him and his claim of being the figure in the film. So he and his story was read, heard or seen by a lot of people so I would say he got quite a bit of publicity for someone that claimed to be the figure in the film but was very obviously not. I dismissed Bob H. from the very beginning. Link to post Share on other sites
Squatchy McSquatch 845 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yup. 4 little moments in history. Catch the wave... Even if BobH is lying his lies don't stack up to 50 years of cumulative lies... It's all gonna come crumbling down in the next few years Lol Link to post Share on other sites
Backdoc 704 Posted May 28, 2018 BFF Donor Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) ^^^ this seems to be that type of thinking which says, "as soon as this major conspirator dies the truth will come out". Assuming the PGF was a hoax, I don't see way someone would think the truth behind the hoax comes out. Are all the bets some family of Al's are going to help spit on his grave some day because some suit is in a glass case in the study? They are just itching to share this and shame the old man who help promote the film? Rogers dead. Gimlins doubled down Mrs Patterson seem like she is all in. who/what does that leave?

Bob Heironimus has gotten a lot of publicity, and credit...regarding "being the filmed subject in the PGF", Okie. But, not to worry....his "claim to fame" is going to evaporate....after I confront him with some of the problems, with his claim. One of those will be 'impossible timeline', of the film being "mailed from the Post Office in Eureka", and "deposited in DeAtley's mailbox the next morning". That simply couldn't have happened.

OkieFoot 611 Posted May 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2018 ^^ Sweaty, remember I've told you before, if you go see Bob H. just don't ask him what his home address is more than once. Wasn't the Post Office in Eureka closed by the time Roger got to Eureka? I thought it was already about 5:30 to 6:30pm when Roger interrupted Al Hodgson's weiner roast in Willow Creek. I thought Al picked up the film in Seattle. Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, thanks for the reminder, Okie. Actually, I may start referring to Bob as "Quantum Bob".....since he seems to have the rare ability to be in two places at the same time. I think he should allow scientists to study him, in a Lab....they might discover that objects larger than a single atom can exhibit 'quantum superposition'. Quote Wasn't the Post Office in Eureka closed by the time Roger got to Eureka? I thought it was already about 5:30 to 6:30pm when Roger interrupted Al Hodgson's weiner roast in Willow Creek. I thought Al picked up the film in Seattle. You're mixing two different accounts, Okie.....Roger's and Quantum Bob's. (Gee, I like that nickname, for good ol' Bob). In Q.B.'s version of events....he would have, or could have, left Bluff Creek by about 2:00. That would have given him enough time to make the trip to the P.O. in Eureka. The problem, for Bob, comes in when you try to find a reason for him to mail the film from a Post Office.....and, how it managed to arrive in DeAtley's mailbox less than 24 hours later....(in 1967....with no 'Express Mail' option available from the US Postal Service.)

Caenus 59 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Well, regarding the PGF, being a trained scientist I have taken everything with a grain of salt. That being said, also being a trained (and part time) working professional photographer, I am very impressed with the video. I am also a hunter and have seen many, many animals in the wild and find the proposed rational for Patty’s behavior plausible, and her mechanics interesting. The proportional measurements of her body and photo enhancements of the film are also intriguing. In the end, I have had an “experience” of a Bigfoot nature, which although anecdotal, does reinforce the films credibility in my opinion. The attraction to the film however (related to the above comments), still does not explain my interest and why I have spent many, many months in the woods and thousands of dollars. The truth is, the PGF represents one of our last “wild” discoveries. Sure cave spiders, birds, fish, bacteria....many thousands of creatures I’m sure yet to be discovered are interesting, but not awe inspiring. It boils down to the mystery and the fun. It also appeals to my inner hunter...if I can find and gather the evidence that has eluded so many others, then that trumps anyone’s massive elk antlers or whitetail mount! (Plus the advancing science thing...lol) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
ThinkAboutPools 8 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I can't remember when I first saw the PGF. I was two years old when it was filmed. It had to have been the early seventies. In Search Of premiered in 1977 and I was aware of the film way before that. The names Patterson and Gimlin weren't familar to me but the legend of Bigfoot certainly was. I just looked up The Legend of Boggy Creek film and saw that was released in 1972 and I remember that clearly...not the actual movie which I never saw but the ad campaign and the talk that it was about a hairy beast ala Bigfoot. Any ideas where I could have seen the PGF for the first time? Were there any televison shows that ran the PGF in the early seventies...specifically 1970-72? Link to post Share on other sites

SackScratch 51 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 For me it was late night showings of reruns of Bigfoot Documentaries such as "Mysterious Monsters" and "Bigfoot Man or Beast" as a kid my friends and I would stay up all night watching them, often they'd have several of those documentaries aired back to back all night long including the Rod Serling one called "Monsters and Mysteries"... They did the same thing with old Godzilla movies on that channel, start at 10:30pm after the news and show them back to back all night long... Link to post Share on other sites
Bearfoot 30 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Became interested reading about the abominable snowman as a kid and then ordering Roger Patterson's book back in the sixties. After the Argosy magazine articles I was hooked! After getting out of the Navy I headed to Bluff Creek and spent about 3 weeks there. After that moved to Oregon all through the 70's. Now back in the Midwest and very happy I found this forum! A track that had me very excited for a few seconds back then at Bluff Creek! Of course it is a bear track where the front and hind foot overlap but still one of those moments! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Twist 1,021 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Appreciate your contributions I’m not much use in doing math and camera angles but I sure do enjoy looking at the pictures you provided. Way before my time but I’m still jealous you got to be there! Hope to see you around more. Link to post Share on other sites
