Unfortunately, a closer reading of that book suggests the two different suits discussed in two different parts of the book undermines their entire hoaxing theory.

It is always easy, after the fact, to create hoax-driven explanations for the visuals, but when you can’t even get your stories straight about whether you are using a created horse hide suit or a costume company’s gorilla suit, the bridge does come tumbling down.

After reading excerpts from the book of the guy who supposedly wore the “Patty” suit I am now inclined to believe this was a total fake and a hoax bar none! The guy inside the suit said the headpiece was made with a football helmet and when you look at the shape and in particular the brow and the general helmet shape of the head it is easy to see. To try to cover this up they pointed up the top of the hair on the helmet Also the extra dark patch on the back of the neck and shoulders was added horse hair to cover up where the helmet joined the suit. The ‘jiggling” of the thighs was nothing more than the suit being lose over the football thigh pads. A clever job but a hoax indeed!

As a highly interested 13 year old when the film showing Patty was first made public, I instantly thought it was a fake and actually kind of funny. Now, years later with the ability to analyze the object of the file much better I must admit that if this is indeed was a fake they did a superb job on the costume and it has withstood scrutiny to this day. The who setting just seemed too theatrical with the horse rearing, Patty appearing, and walking calmly away, especially when viewed with the entire event surrounding it. It would seem preposterous not to be a rehearsed shooting but the bigfoot does indeed look very convincing indeed. The breasts, the hair being thin almost rubbed off at various places yet really dark and thick around the neck just seems not to indicate a suit.

The first thing I noticed was the jiggling fat too, that would be very hard to replicate I would imagine, especially in the 60s

one of the few pieces of evidence that keeps me wondering if sasquatch is real.

I gotta say I’ve always believed Patty to be a real Bigfoot. Always. Of course I grew up in the ’70’s when Bigfoot was hot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTY!!!

I suggest a bronze “Patty” be awarded for “Outstanding Contribution to Cryptozoology” at a black-tie reception every October 20th.

If not black-tie, how about plaid flannel?

Can it be that after hundreds of viewings, I notice now for the first time that she takes a kind of unsure step–about the third step in the clip at the top of this post? She’s looking back and not quite paying attention to her footing. Fascinating. Just goes to show that with such a rich piece of film, one never ceases seeing new things. Thanks, Loren
