The Patterson-Gimlin Film:
Sometimes referred to as the PGF; the best evidence for the existence of sasquatch
happened
on October 20, 1967 at Bluff Creek, California.
Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were on riding horseback when suddenly they were able to film a sasquatch with a 16-mm camera. The film showed a female sasquatch - breasts are evident in parts of the clip - walking along a sandbar in broad daylight.
It is the only film evidence to date that is corroborated with tracks plus anatomical details and motion of the filmed sasquatch is consistent with other digitally enhanced film analysis. With the gait, length of stride, locomotion and general biomechanics of the sasquatch, the general science communities by a 9 to 1 margin call the film authentic.
As far as a hoax by any manner, over the years there have been many feeble challenges,
-yet no actor or
costumed hoaxer has been
able to duplicate the mechanics of the creature’s gait,
the depth of its footprint, length of stride
or length of arm skeletal structure.
In the ensuing years, no one has been able to demonstrate anything that challenges its authencity.
M.K. Davis' frame by frame rendition of the Patterson Film is located on this website here:

Further enhancements here:

This enhanced film segment begins with the subject dragging its foot across Dahinden's
famous wood fragment and then it shows the face... The enhanced more stabilized
version moves on to the red-filtered frame 350. From there it does the cha-cha to
show the back muscles and independent movement clearly seen between the cheeks of the buttocks;
the clip goes on to show the motion of the right thumb touching the fingers
(if you’re quick)
... all in one convenient file.
The stabilizatgion & the enhancements are the work of © M.K. Davis. December 2005

Interestingly, in this clip you can clearly see the wearing away of the body hair, mid thorax and other
details such as skin and muscle movement.

Here we see at varying speeds, the Patterson subject's facial profile, her hair is pulled back and appears
to be twisted upwards on the side of her head in a roll upwards again into plaiting or
braiding in the back of the head where it falls in long lengths down the back of her neck,
spilling on to her shoulders and back....
The head is round, not pointed; the crest of her
head consists of not bone but hair only....

Then, in this rather large file - but combined with the above 'track animation' file, we clearly
see Hieronimus condemn himself as a prevaricator and a hoaxer extraordinaire...
