Patty on all fours?

[WildHairyMan]

Would it be reasonable to think that, just as not all humans are physically built or adept to sprint at near record speeds,...or leap over a high bar above their height, etc., etc. ; that it is probable that not all wild, hairy men - sasquatch, bigfoot, skunk ape, yeti, etc. - are equally adept to perform certain physical actions attributed to any one of them?  I say this because I am convinced that there are different "types" of wild, hairy men/women.  I would venture to say that this may well be the reason that some can & do move on all fours....as many accounts have reported.   The smaller versions may be able to go "on all fours" easily...the largest sasquatch-bigfoot may not.  Just thinkin' out loud......sorta

I agree.

My very favorite audio capture from Stan Courtney. Whatever this was - it did not have claws, nor hooves. And it's clearly BIG, running on all fours. He had the audio recorder near or on the bridge. You can hear the runner move from the trail/road to the bridge. Awesome.

Awesome indeed!  I appreciate your sharing that!  The rapidity of the sequence of "steps" themselves and the intervals between each sequence... remind me very much of the sound of.... the sequence/intervals of a full-galloping horse - the absence of the 'percussive' timbre associated with hooves, claws, nails or other hard objects that would be striking the surface of that bridge, IMO, eliminates any familiar quaduped that has such....(which you point out). I would think the closest I could imagine would be a creature with pads like a cat or with tissue/flesh of knuckles or 'fingertips'  and foot pads or 'toes' like we humans have - (not unreasonable to imagine that 'hair' would also be a factor in softening the sound some). A large 'cat' of some sort? I think not, unless, maybe, it was a cheetah...because, if I'm not mistaken,...most, if not all, cats don't gallop "like a horse"...with the exception, of maybe a cheetah at times. Gorillas and Chimpanzees can 'lumber' along at a sort of gallop,...but I don't believe they can do so for extended periods and I doubt that it would be at the same speed as what we hear on this recording.

      Without any definite idea of distance between the microphone and the area of activity,...(especially when/where the 'breathing' is first heard)...it's hard to imagine just how large the runner is/was....but I'm thinking that because we hear its rapid breathing (while galloping) a few moments before it apparently jumps/lands on the bridge in stride and records the simultaneous continuous breathing pattern and the 'softened' or almost 'muffled' sound of the galloping, as it passes by ;  I have to imagine that the runner had to be large/powerful enough to project the sound of its rapid breaths prior to its approach to the bridge - (without any prior, apparent sound of galloping, I might add)...AND the pattern of rapid breaths can be heard for several seconds after it apparently leaves the bridge...almost seems as though it may have paused at some point after passing the bridge area...because it seems like the sound of breathing is faintly detected....or I'm imagining things...tell me if you think I am.  The deeper tones of its 'breathes' causes me to think of a large chest cavity - similar to that of a bear or horse.     I have a fair number of early to recent newspaper accounts from N. American regions that describe strange, hairy, wild creatures  that "resemble a man" or "resemble a gorilla" (after the mid to late 1800's)...that evade pursuit by dropping to "all fours" to outrun dogs and/or humans on horseback.....(interestingly,...quite a few accounts of these same 'creatures' being predacious - against dogs and horses, as well as any other domestic animals - easy pickings)

                 Thanks, again!!

I can't tell if its bipedal or not.

 

If it's not bipedal.. bear?

To me that sounds like hooves. Albeit I’ve never heard a Bear cross a wooden bridge. But all the times I have been around them? They are almost silent. Maybe some twigs breaking. But not foot falls.

 

Here is a horse crossing a wooden bridge. Slower tempo.

So many sightings over the years talk about BF being seen on all fours, either dropping down or coming up off all fours. Not only this but many descriptions describe their agility on all fours but here's my issue.

No matter how many times i see the Patty film I just cant see the animal in the film being anywhere near agile enough to be on all fours, it just looks too big and cumbersome, it looks like it would actually have difficulty getting down there.

I've never heard this raised anywhere else, what's your thoughts?

Patty shouldn't be the gauge of bigfoot evidence, just in case the PGF is a hoax.

You can hear the saddle leathers squeak, too. I hear none of that in the Bridge Runner audio. It just gives me chills each time I hear it.

I can't think of a better flag bearer for the sasquatch community than the PGF. Can you name one?

hmmmmmm,......listen to the sound of its breathing....to me,....the exhales sound just like it's through an open mouth and not through nostrils (as a horse does) - assuming the audio has not be modified, the sound level of its breathing is a bit more discernable than I would expect if mixed with the simultaneous sound of a horse galloping (with or without a saddle)  What is strange to me is the mixture of the two distinct sounds of the galloping (subdued, imo) and the breathing sound being as prominent - simultaneously) (I'm by no means an expert, but I do have experience with audio-recording and mixing environments - within studios and live....and have learned a little about identifying-differentiating recorded sounds - I'm not implying I'm right... just trying to point out things to consider - This is a fascinating , mysterious recording)        Having said all this,....If anything,....the breathing sounds a lot like a large canine like a wolf or dog - (we should also consider that their legs/feet are physiologically similar in design to some degree - relatively long slender legs, but,canine,  with pads & toes instead of hooves - and,....after thinkin' more about it,  I should have considered that some canines could replicate the same or similar "gallop pattern" of an equine..... in my earlier comments) Will try to find a recording of a Gorilla and/or Chimp galloping or its breathing after or while strenuous activity. One other point....I would think that if it is a canine - there would likely be the additional "clicking" sounds of nails....but, I guess,...that's not necessarily so...
