A new documentary called Capturing Bigfoot just dropped a bombshell on the Sasquatch scene. Filmmaker Mark Evans premiered it at South by Southwest on March 12th, claiming the famous Patterson Gimlin footage from 1967 is A, Straight Up Hokes. That's the grainy clip of a hairy figure striding through Bluff Creek, California that's been the holy grail for believers. Evans dug up never before seen 16-millimeter film shot a year earlier, showing a guy in a bigfoot suit and Robert Gimlin on horseback. He got it from a colleague whose dad knew Patterson and Gimlin, and after nine months of digging, he calls it a clear rehearsal for the big fake out. Patterson's own son, Clint, spilled the beans in the film, saying his mom told him years ago it was all staged. The hoax weighed heavy on him, and he was ready to set the record straight about the suit too.
