"From mossy forests to vast deserts, tales of Bigfoot—or a creature like him—have been whispered across every U.S. state. Often known as Sasquatch, this cryptid goes by many local names depending on the culture, environment, and community. Let’s take a trip through all 50 states and meet the version of Bigfoot that haunts each one. Along the way, we’ll explore local sightings, urban legends, and unexplained phenomena that fuel America's fascination with mysterious creatures.

Alabama — "White Thang" In the deep woods of Alabama, locals whisper of the "White Thang," a pale, seven-foot-tall creature that moves with supernatural speed. In the 1940s, farmers reported livestock mutilations and eerie howls unlike any native animal.

Alaska — "Bushman" or "Arulataq" In the vast, icy wilderness of Alaska, the native Yupik people speak of the Arulataq, a wild, hairy man who steals people away in storms. Hunters have described seeing massive prints in remote snowbanks, too large for any known bear.

Arizona — "Mogollon Monster" Deep in the Mogollon Rim forest, hikers report a tall, foul-smelling creature covered in reddish-brown hair. One camper in the 1980s recalled waking up to see a shadowy figure rummaging through their backpack.

Arkansas — "Fouke Monster" Made famous by the 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek, the Fouke Monster is said to roam the swamps near Texarkana. It’s a cornerstone of Arkansas folklore, with reports of it peering through windows and stealing livestock.

California — "Sierra Sasquatch" or "Wild Man" Northern California is Bigfoot central, especially around the Sierra Nevada. In Bluff Creek, the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film allegedly captured a female Sasquatch walking into the woods.

Colorado — "Rocky Mountain Sasquatch" Sightings along Pike National Forest tell of a towering beast watching hikers from the tree line. In 2008, a group of backpackers found a string of 19-inch footprints stretching across a snowy pass.

Connecticut — "Winsted Wildman" In the late 1800s, newspaper reports from Winsted told of a wild, hairy man terrorizing the countryside. Locals still claim eerie encounters in the wooded hills.

Delaware — "Swamp Beast" Fewer sightings, but Delaware’s Great Cypress Swamp has birthed legends of a shadowy cryptid with glowing eyes seen just before thunderstorms.

Florida — "Skunk Ape" Swampy, stinky, and seen around the Everglades, Florida’s Skunk Ape is a southern Bigfoot variant. A park ranger snapped a blurry photo in the '90s of a hulking figure near Ochopee.

What we know from history is the tendency of worldviews to confirm only their own assumptions over time to the point of not even acknowledging any other phenomena that conflicts with them. The Middle Ages for example is full of accounts of strange and anomalous phenomena that the authorities on the ruling Christian paradigm of the day simply dismissed or outright condemned as the work of the Devil. Levitating saints and French werewolves and witches and alchemists and vampires and fairy abductions and rains of blood and flesh and UFO dogfights in the sky! It's how paradigms maintain their power and control. Thru denial and demonization. Until they are replaced by another self-confirming model for reality.

Is this not true even in our time, where the paradigm of scientific physicalism, which is really a school of metaphysics and not science at all, enforces itself by encouraging similar kneejerk dismissal and condemnation to the point of soliciting sophomoric ridicule from most of its socially-revered spokesmen? Yet never has there been more credible accounts of strange and anomalous experiences happening to people all over the world. Again what are the odds that OUR dominant paradigm got it all right and has granted us final and complete knowledge of all reality? And again, very small to say the least! We don't even know what our own minds are or how they could even exist--a vast mysterious netherworld of paradoxes and surreal unknowns and epistemic hurdles we have yet to find any coherent theories for. Meanwhile the "unconceived of" keeps knocking on our door in a hundred different ways, like a long lost brother finally coming home. Dare we open it and find out who is there?

“…The more deeply we plumb the psyche, the deeper the well appears to go. Somewhere down in there, it would appear that there is a place where the line between the physical and nonphysical blurs, where imagination and reality somehow converge, and events unfold that are not yet understood at all. It is the realm of Jeff’s ‘imaginal’, where the electrons of thoughts somehow converge into the molecules of things. But how? The mind knows, but not, perhaps, in ways that it can articulate.."---Whitley Strieber]]>

"Documentary filmmaker Marq Evans had a hunch that one day he might tackle the topic of Bigfoot — but he had no idea that he’d end up creating a film that could end up debunking the mystery linked to the creature that's lasted for 59 years.

His groundbreaking documentary, Capturing Bigfoot — which premieres this week at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival — provides startling new evidence, he says, that finally proves that the most famous Bigfoot film of all time is nothing more than an “incredible hoax.”

Long held up as evidence that Bigfoot exists and responsible for launching the multi-million-dollar Bigfoot industry, the iconic, shaky 59-second silent clip that was shot in 1967 shows an enormous, hairy creature — later nicknamed Patty — walking slowly through a wooded area in a forest near Bluff Creek, Calif. “It really captured the imagination of billions of people over the past six decades,” says Evans.

Shot by a former rodeo star named Roger Patterson and his pal Robert Gimlin, the Patterson-Gimlin film had, for decades, been scrutinized by biologists, anthropologists and even Hollywood costume examiners looking to debunk its authenticity. Over the years, no one had been able to definitively prove that the 16mm movie was staged.

All that began to change in June 2024 when Evans, who has directed a handful of critically acclaimed documentaries, received an email from a part-time instructor named Teresa Brooks at Olympic College, where he teaches courses in documentary filmmaking.

"After her father’s death,” says Evans, 43, “she’d found a canister of 16mm film that had been sealed away for over half a century. She needed help getting it developed and wondered if I might be interested in doing something with it.”

Little did Evans know what had just been handed to him and its possible connection to the famed 1967 film. But he soon learned that Brooks’ father, a man named Norm Johnson — who spent years running the film department for Seattle’s Boeing Company — was connected to Patterson and Gimlin through his brother Dave. And it quickly became clear to Evans that Teresa’s father had developed the Patterson-Gimlin film, which immediately made headlines around the world after the footage was released in 1967.

“It caught fire right away,” says Evans. “As somebody said in our film, ‘It went viral before that word even existed.’ ”

Brooks told Evans that the reason the film had been locked away in a safe is because her mother had feared that her husband might have been involved with a short movie that she was convinced was probably a hoax. “She was concerned,” says Evans, “that Norm might get in trouble for being involved with it and told him to put away [any evidence of his involvement] and never speak about it again.”

Not long after receiving Brooks’ email, Evans had the 16mm film developed and days later found himself looking at a 40-second clip set in a location similar to the one in the 1967 movie, showing what appeared to be a slightly skinnier-looking Bigfoot walking into the woods.

“It took me maybe nine months to realize what we really had,” says Evans, who was able to determine, by markings on the film, that the footage had been shot in 1966, roughly a year before the now-famous clip in the 59-second Bigfoot movie was allegedly shot. “What we eventually found out is that [this new footage] represented a trial run, a rehearsal that was never discarded.”

Realizing he had physical evidence that finally put to rest the question of whether Patterson’s creation was a hoax, Evans knew he had the makings for an explosive documentary. He quickly went to work, he says, “connecting the dots” behind the making of the 1967 film and interviewing the cast of characters in Patterson’s hometown of Yakima, Wash., who were involved with its creation, including 80-something-year-old Bob Heironimus, who confessed to being the individual wearing the fake Bigfoot suit in the film.

Evans, whose father had grown up in Yakima and had heard plenty of gossip among locals about the film's authenticity, assumed that the family of Roger Patterson — who died of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1972 — would, as they always had, refuse to speak about the film, which had generated millions of dollars in licensing fees over the years. But once Evans showed the new footage to Patterson’s oldest son, Clint, a 66-year-old Montana rancher, he was eager to talk.

“He’d learned the film was a fake from his mother years earlier and had been wanting to come out and tell this story,” says Evans. “The lie had been really hard on him, and he was ready and wanting to get out from under it.”

What makes the story even more complicated and tragic, says Evans, is that Patterson, who by all accounts truly believed in Bigfoot’s existence, knew that he was dying in 1967 when he made and released his film.

“He knew he didn’t have long to live and that he was going to be leaving his wife with three young kids to take care of,” Evans says. “So he took a shot at leaving them some sort of legacy [that could possibly help pay the bills].”

The only piece of the mystery still unresolved is what happened to the Bigfoot suit that Patterson had painstakingly created. “Clint told me that he actually saw his dad burn the suit out behind the family house one night in a big barrel,” says Evans. “He basically spent about 30 minutes tossing it into the fire, piece by piece.”

Asked if he believes his documentary will finally force people to admit that Bigfoot is nothing more than a mixture of folklore, misidentified animal sightings and deliberate hoaxes, Evans isn’t optimistic.

“I certainly wasn’t some skeptic who set out to prove [Bigfoot] wasn’t real,” he says. “We were just focused on telling this story about the Patterson film. But I think for a lot of people who have so much history and belief tied up in this, it’s going to be really hard to accept.”

Capturing Bigfoot is screening at SXSW through March 16."]]> https://people.com/famous-1967-bigfoot-f...c-11926085

"Documentary filmmaker Marq Evans had a hunch that one day he might tackle the topic of Bigfoot — but he had no idea that he’d end up creating a film that could end up debunking the mystery linked to the creature that's lasted for 59 years.

His groundbreaking documentary, Capturing Bigfoot — which premieres this week at the 2026 SXSW Film & TV Festival — provides startling new evidence, he says, that finally proves that the most famous Bigfoot film of all time is nothing more than an “incredible hoax.”

Long held up as evidence that Bigfoot exists and responsible for launching the multi-million-dollar Bigfoot industry, the iconic, shaky 59-second silent clip that was shot in 1967 shows an enormous, hairy creature — later nicknamed Patty — walking slowly through a wooded area in a forest near Bluff Creek, Calif. “It really captured the imagination of billions of people over the past six decades,” says Evans.

Shot by a former rodeo star named Roger Patterson and his pal Robert Gimlin, the Patterson-Gimlin film had, for decades, been scrutinized by biologists, anthropologists and even Hollywood costume examiners looking to debunk its authenticity. Over the years, no one had been able to definitively prove that the 16mm movie was staged.

All that began to change in June 2024 when Evans, who has directed a handful of critically acclaimed documentaries, received an email from a part-time instructor named Teresa Brooks at Olympic College, where he teaches courses in documentary filmmaking.

On Piers Morgan Uncensored, Dr. Eric says most people still do not understand how deep Epstein’s involvement in science was.

He explains that Epstein funded major projects, donated to top universities like MIT and Harvard, and maintained close ties with about 30 leading scientists, including mathematicians and physicists. Weinstein’s main claim is that

He states Epstein was also a “science spy” listening in on high‑level research, especially in fields like number theory, elliptic curves, cryptography, and gravitational physics that are crucial for military technology, code‑breaking, digital money, and possibly new weapons.

According to Weinstein, Epstein somehow knew details about Weinstein’s own early work on certain equations related to gravity, even though that connection was not widely known, which he takes as proof that Epstein’s operation gathered inside technical information.

He has spoken to many normal, non‑actor witnesses whose detailed UFO stories sound very similar and are told very sincerely, so he feels “something big” is really there, even if he does not know what it is.

He mentions reports of a kind of “private air force” that appears, destroys or seizes UFO‑monitoring equipment, and then disappears, and says this seems to be linked to the CIA’s Office of Global Access. He explains that this office can hide aircraft and operations inside intelligence structures so the public never sees an official “US Air Force” label, which makes it easier to keep UFO‑related missions secret."
