Patterson Footage creature proven NOT a suit
page: 5share:
It is best to remember that it took Patterson 6 years of searching to see a bigfoot. And he was out looking for them. This film was no overnight
success.
Here is a history list I compiled of Bluff Creek, California sightings:
August 1958. Road builders Ray Wallace and Jerry Crew find 16-inch BF tracks all around a parked Caterpillar Tractor 20 miles south of Bluff Creek. The tracks reappear a month later and plaster casts are taken. Weekly thereafter, Jerry sees Bigfoot tracks going from Northwest to Southeast on the same logging road. Ray Wallace finds human-like droppings the size of those a 1200 pound horse would make. Wilbur Wallace, Ray's brother, finds a full 55 gallon oil drum carried to the edge of the road and thrown down the hill. He also finds a 20 foot length of 18" culvert carried some distance away and a 700 pound tire & wheel for a "carry all" which had been rolled for a quarter mile and hurled into a ravine.
Fall, 1958. Editor Andrew Genzoli and the senior staff photographer of the Times-Standard see Bigfoot tracks and droppings of monumental proportions like those of a "2 ton bear with chronic constipation."
September, 1958. Bigfoot tracks are seen 4 different times on Bluff Creek Road.
October 1, 1958. Jerry Crew finds a quarter mile of BF tracks on Bluff Creek Road and makes casts.
October 12, 1958. Ray Kerr and Leslie Breazeale see a BF cross a 20' road in 2 strides and find tracks several miles south of where they are usually seen on Bluff Creek Road. Hired by Ray Wallace to track BF, they redouble their hunting effort but their dogs disappear a few days later and are never seen again.
Mid October, 1958. BF tracks are seen again near Bluff Creek.
October 23, 1958. BF tracks are seen on Bluff Creek Road once again.
October 28, 1958. 2 miles of 16" BF tracks are seen on Bluff Creek Road.
October 30, 1958. BF tracks are seen going down a hill from Bluff Creek Road.
November 2, 1958. Bob Titmus and Ed Patrick find BF tracks on a Bluff Creek Sandbar.
December 18. 1958. Betty Allen finds 6 miles of BF tracks on Bluff Creek Road, expressed fear in her articles.
1959. A husband and wife flying a private plane over Bluff Creek see and follow BF tracks until they pass over the BF making them.
August 16, 1959. Bob Titmus finds 300 yards of BF tracks along Bluff Creek Sandbar.

1962 - Enis Schofield described how his fencing was torn down fencepost by fencepost the week after it was erected nearby the Bluff Creek Resort. Each post was pulled up out of its concrete piling in the ground which Schofield said required unheard of strength and was probably done because it blocked a pathway the Big Feet people used to reach the creek every night. Pointing toward the hillside, he told Betty Allen, "They come down the hill there, you can see their tracks and they seem to go down to the creek to drink or maybe to go up it, because no tracks come back up the hill. They come out somewheres else," he told Allen. Schofield told the reporter they didn't feel safe barbequeing outdoors anymore and were contemplating selling their cabin to Saunders boys, owners of the Resort on the main road.
August 19, 1962. Skip Clark finds and casts Bigfoot tracks at Bluff Creek sandbar.
