The Memorial Day Bigfoot Video

This video was filmed by Lori and Owen Pate in 1996 on Chopaka lake north Central Washington state. This video has been yet to be proven real or fake.

Before there was the Ketchikan Alaskan Bigfoot, or the Spokane River Bigfoot, there was another famous video that made it's way into the mainstream on this special Memorial Day holiday. Countless articles, blogs, and television shows have scrutinized the video, and has yet to prove whether it's real or fake. Just like it's grandmother Patty, from the infamous Patterson-Gimlin film, it has stood the test of time. It has been 15 years since the release of the video, and yet no scientific study, can conclusively prove it to be a hoax. That's what makes this one special.

The Memorial Day footage is a Hi-8mm video that is purported to show a Bigfoot. It was recorded on May 26, 1996, by Lori Pate at Okanogan County, Washington's Chopaka Laka while on a fishing trip with her family and friends. It is said to have been preceded by two sightings of an ape-like, hair covered figure at closer distances by others on the trip.

The footage shows a figure, matching the description of Bigfoot, running across a hill. It disappears behind a less inclined sloped area, then reappears briefly, walking, before going into a grouping of trees on the right side of the frame.

The location the film was shot was used in the documentary Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. The filmmakers took forensic measurements to determine the subject's height, path, speed, and stride by measuring the subject against fixed objects in the background. Derek Prior, a three-time All-American sprinter from the University of Washington, runs the same route as the figure to determine if the alleged Bigfoot's running speed was too fast for a human to duplicate, to compare his speed and stride to the subject's, and to give a visual comparison to the figure in the footage.

In the conclusions section of Sasquatch, the results of the measurements give the creature a height of 5.3ft (1.61m), a leg length of 2.5ft (0.76 m), a running speed of 8.56mph (13.77km/h), and a stride of 4.25ft (1.29m). Prior, on the other hand, was able to run the same path at 17.1mph (27.51km/h) and had a stride of 6.8ft (2.07m).

However, one aspect of the film remained a mystery. At the end, before the subject goes into the trees, it appears to grow taller by 8 inches (20.32 cm). Explanations offered include that it's a real animal carrying a younger animal that had climbed higher on its back; or, alternatively, that it's a mask that was pushed back on the wearer's head while unaware that they were still on camera.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
