I saw a documentary about this original film that convinced me this is a real bigfoot. They analysed it forensically and deduced it would have had to have been either a real 8 foot tall female ape of come sort or an exceedingly sophisticated prank, more so than was even technically possible considering all the anatomical details. You can see her boobs and everything.
- i'm open to a lot of things, really, but this still seems like a shitty ape suit to me :-/ Be nice if i'm wrong thoughset
- tits or gtf.. waitsseo
- He has shoes on and everything!seeessess
- It's utterly totally 100% a person in a suit. Someone from a wealthy background who was taught to 'walk properly'. 100%mikotondria3
- it's the Haters gonna hate walkwagshaft
- see my response below :]Dodecahedron
- lol @ 100%. What a dick.set
- I thought the filmer of this finally admitted it to be fakeETM
- no he never did, he actually kept the story and so did his wifeDodecahedron

Couldn't it just be a fat chick in a monkey suit?
- would have to be also some sort of 8 feet tall hunchback woman back with abnormally long limbsDodecahedron
- not really, no proof its 8ft at the suit limbs could be longer than the arms inside it...set

Hairy boobs. There's a reason why she is hiding in the forest.

Saw a documentary recently by BBC about Neanderthals. It talked about how these shorter, uglier species of humans lived in northern Europe (Scandinavian countries) until they were wiped out by modern humans immigrating up from Africa.
One theory is that the legends about trolls and dwarfs are actually based on this other species. I'd be surprised if any of them survived to the present day though (also they didn't really look like apes).
- sounds interesting, do you remember the name of the doc, ide like to check it outmoldero
- love this kind of stuffmoldero
- Hmmm...actually it was Discovery Channel not BBCabettertomorrow
- I think this is it
http://thepiratebay.…abettertomorrow - sweet thank you! :)moldero
- yeah, i saw this as well... another theory is that they died from cannibalism, which promotes a type of "mad cow" disease...showpony
- I thought neanderthals were taller than humans of the age?detritus

There's a couple of docs on this on Netflix instant

They exist. The WW2 vet who wrote The Long Walk (the memoir, not the Stephen King novel) saw two yetis as he was traveling through the Himalayas in his escape from Siberia to India. All the other men traveling with him saw it too. They were tired and travelworn, but all in their right minds.

He does seem to be wearing shoes or flip flops in that video above if you look closely.

In response to why this is NOT a human in an ape suit according to the documentary I saw ( as best as I can remember ),
There are extra muscle and bone details that can be seen moving on the thigh, hips and back, details like this don't appear on ape suits. The best suits at the time were like the 60s sci-fi movies, they were just draped over people and didn't respond to locomotion like a physical body does.
'She' has big boobs that can be seen as 'she' looks back. The old man who shot the film never said a thing about the boobs and nobody noticed them until an animal expert mentioned them. People who study film of animals a lot notice these sorts of things.
They hired primate experts to study the film. They made 3d models of the figure and recreated how it would be walking. They concluded that it was walking in a very similar manner as how chimps walk when they walk on two feet, NOT like how humans walk at all. They don't walk 'heal toe heal toe' like us they sort of drag their feet along and their soles are completely flat. This is identical to *thousands of tracks that have been found of large feet with completely flat bottoms. They were comparing tracks from North America and China that appeared identical.
They did some basic triangulation of the site and film to figure out the size and concluded it was at least 7.5-8 feet tall. The limbs are also extremely long like an ape, they could have worn arm extensions but it would be near impossible to walk properly. Not to mention who ever it was must have had to have been huge. They also said if it was a huge person they would have had to have jammed their body into this weird hunch back position leaving their head somewhere looking out at the neck as opposed to the eyes, to recreate the proportions of the hips and shoulders. Also the shoulders were like 3-4 feet, so the suit would have had to have accommodated these proportions because no human has shoulders like that.
It has the basic face of a gorilla. Very similar details on the forehead and general structure as you can tell when it turns.
All of these details would have had to have been known and recreated by whoever supposedly faked this. Is it a reasonable hypothesis that someone was not only an primate expert ahead of their time but also had the means of creating a suit that mimicked all of these anatomical details? Not likely as the doc concluded.
This in mind judge for yourself as I did. I seriously wish I could find the doc but I can't anywhere. I saw it on PBS or something a while ago.
- BTW when I say he has 'the face of a gorilla' they proved it through proper comparative facial feature analysis .Dodecahedron
- lots more points I can't remember. they did a thorough job of investigating all angles.Dodecahedron
- They actually started the doc by saying 'everyone thinks this is a fake but in fact its never been debunked' then they tried a failed. there were already lots of studies that concluded similar thinsgDodecahedron
- In addition to how it was walking it is leaning forward and swaying its arms the same way a chimp does .Dodecahedron
- still 'looks' fakewagshaft
- looks don't count in science, especially when considering a filmed document. that was the purpose of investigating it to see if looks are deceivingDodecahedron
- Umm, this is the famous Ray Wallace footage right? The one the family admitted was fake in 2002.ETM
