Gimlin's testimony

Roger Patterson, not Gimlin, is known for his 1967 testimony regarding a film he claimed showed a Bigfoot. Patterson described how he encountered a large, ape-like creature in Northern California, which he filmed with Roger Gimlin filming from behind. His account detailed the creature’s size, appearance, and behavior, emphasizing that he believed it to be a yet-unseen, real creature. The footage has since become iconic in cryptozoology, sparking debate over its authenticity. Patterson’s testimony remains a cornerstone in Bigfoot lore, highlighting his conviction that the creature was genuine, though skeptics question whether it was a hoax.
