The Munns Report Analysis Comparing Human Anatomy To The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot
"The Munns Report" is an analysis by Bill Munns of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Film which was filmed at Bluff Creek, California and shows a strange fur-covered humanistic subject walking away from the camera as Roger Patterson chased it and filmed it. Munns is doing a video series detailing exactly why the PG film is a real creature.
In the video below, Munns explains the anatomy of the Bigfoot in the Patterson-Gimlin Film and how it's not a guy in a fur costume. Some say the Munns Report is quite possibly, the best analysis to date.
"If the costume don't fit- you must acquit!"
ReplyDeletePG film for the win!
Pretty convincing. I wish he'd use a shot of Bob H. as his model, to see if anything matched up.
ReplyDeleteFantastic analysis, but I think they should have brought on-board a physical therapist who could explain the mechanics of a beast this size and weight and musculature being able to walk erect and support such weight--would it mean stronger hamstrings? Quadriceps? Wider pelvis? More flexible patellae? I'd want to know theoretically how its gait would line up with such a necessary anatomy.
ReplyDeleteI have always found the anatomy of the PGF subject compelling. I am an Academy of Art grad, and studied anatomy for years. In addition to illustration I am a sculptor (paleolife subjects) and have done work for a major manufacturer of museum dinosaur life restorations for years now.
ReplyDelete"Patty" always looks natural to me. Bill Munns merely reinforces my gut feeling that whatever Patterson's film shows, it is a real subject. That said, the film cannot prove anything, as there is no consensus as to it's authenticity.
There will never be a consensus of opinion on the PGF because no die hard skeptic will ever believe that anything proves the existence of this species short of a body. Most BF believers are willing to give the film the credit it deserves in the annuals of BF history, along with all of the other evidence and oral reports from witnesses across the centuries. Having seen a Bigfoot myself, I now am positive this species does exist.
DeleteI get very frustrated trying to get people to even look at the Munns report.They just laugh and say there is no such thing.I found it very convincing.
DeleteI first came across Bill Munns on a National Geographic special. I think it was titled American Paranormal- Bigfoot. It originally aired late Jan. 2010, and to this date is the best Bigfoot analysis I have seen. Pretty good for Nat. Geo. who has in the past put out some of the worst analysis. Anyway Bill Munns was a large part of this special and has painstakingly photographed every individual frame of a first generation copy loaned to him by Patricia Patterson, and his conclusions are convincing. I then read his report and it is lengthy and full of technical jargon, that not my expertise, but it is hard to argue his conclusion. Now I see he is putting together video's of his work and I can't wait to see them all. I recall he measured Patty at 7'6'' There is quite a lot on the muscles and movement of this creature, and I cant wait to see his other videos.

I don't see what the big deal is, I walk erect all the time.
ReplyDeleteYean, Anonymous, but they didn't have Cialis in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteLobster Trouble--as an artist too, I appreciate the form. I cannot help but feel its very organic.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember the Monsterquest episode where the chubby British guy and the old professor took digital pics of the actual PGF film, and how it appeared to have a face like a babboon, with a longer top-lip area?
ReplyDeleteWhy didnt that analysis get more attention? Was it faked for TV?
Notice that this place never lists all the evidence that supports that it's a fake? look at the waistline. Look at the butt. Look at the subduction on the thigh. Look how the hip /butt/thigh joint is loose. Not to mention how everything lines up with Bob H in football pads and a helmet just like he said.
ReplyDeleteI used to think it was real... but alas it's a hoax.... :(
I hope you see one.And watch you try to convince people.
DeleteNick B, we've done just as many articles about PG film possibly being fake. We do our best to balance it out, here are a few skeptical posts about the PG film possibly being a hoax:

ReplyDeleteAnd if you look at the below link which is a favorite of mine you will see why if anyone can determine it Patty is fake/hoax or not it's him!

To Blondie. You are so right. What Bill Munns is doing is groundbreaking and hopefully will lead to an hour program on History, Discovery, Animal Planet, or Nat. Geo channel. There is a lot more to come.

Bill Munn's work does present a credible argument for the authenticity of this icon.
DeleteHowever, I do believe the film depicts a far shorter subject than claimed.
They base it on assumptions about proportions based on a track/print found afterwards; rather than the indications within the film itself.
I believe it to even be shorter by almost a foot than the one who claims he wore a suit.
People see what they want to see. To many bigfoot believers, the Patterson film is authentic. To skeptics, it's a hoax. Patterson's background leads to the ad hominem argument that the footage is a hoax.
ReplyDeleteYou misrepresent the position of skeptics. To scoffers it is a hoax. To a skeptic, the film is not beyond a reasonable doubt to be authentic, but there is a preponderance of evidence from the film itself of likely being authentic.
DeleteEven if Patterson bought a suit and took it with him, which seems to be in question, there is precious little evidence of it being used in the film.
No suit has been discovered over the years, just gossip claiming a BF suit was made featuring a female BF with bouncing breasts. The only way to create a replica of the PGF today is using modern technology, and from what I've seen of that, the PGF looked better. No suit has ever been displayed, nor revealed in any pictures since the PGF was released. The PGF shows a young genuine female Bigfoot walking away from the camera casting a look over her shoulder to see what the noise behind her was all about..Patty never appeared concerned at all about the 2 men on horses chasing her. She was queen of the forest,and she knew it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. After how many years, no one has come forward with a suit that looks anything like this with discernible muscle and tissue movement. It can't be done.
Deleteon the surface it appears convincing. problem is we dont know the exact scale of the patty figure. i know there is geusses from 6 6 to 7ft but know definates. also if it is a suit why wouldnt they be able to add extensions etc...
ReplyDeleteGranted it would be a great suit for the time
There is also the ssue with hat hair libne down the back of patty. No other ape or animal has such a hair line
Then there is Patterson himself. We all know he drew a female squatch a year beforehand then he goes out and films the EXACT figure he drew. seems a billion to 1 chance of happening to me.
We also know he was down on his luck and bankrupt and the studio he worked for shared a lot with @planet of the apes'. take one of their costume in part add a few animal pelts etc... and the suit suddenly seems possible
That all said I do think its still a mystery and the best evidence for a wood ape in North America
The point is we are talking North America not deepest Nepal. all the technology and shrinking woods and this is still the best eviodence.hmmmm
Im constantly reading people like me [ a skeptic Im told] will be eating crow [pretty soon].
all i can say ios a really hope so.Id love their to be families of 10ft 800pd apemen walking about

Recently, Malawi's currency, the kwacha, lost almost half its value and this has put a strain on the running of businesses. Impressionist painters, in particular from China, and from boring to epic. The other major element was branded sportswear which became enormously popular both within and outside of the office was greatly influenced by the recent feminist movement.
