Bigfoot Podcast Discusses Easter, New Book, and Media Perception

Hey Squatchable readers! We stumbled upon a fascinating video from The Bigfoot Mystery - Squatch-D TV YouTube channel, and we couldn't wait to share our thoughts with you. In this episode, hosts Steve Coohl's and Chris Bennett discuss the media's role in shaping the perception of Bigfoot research. The hosts delve into the history of Bigfoot in the media, starting with the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which initially received curious and cautious attention from the press. However, by the 80s and 90s, the media's tone shifted, and Bigfoot was often dismissed as a joke or relegated to the odd news pile. One of the most interesting parts of the video is when they discuss the media's role in the so-called Roger Patterson confession. It turns out that the confession wasn't even connected to the Patterson-Gimlin film, and the media confused Ray Wallace with Patterson, claiming Patterson died in 2002, when in reality, he died in 1972. The hosts also touch on the Bob Heironymous incident, where a man claimed to be in the Bigfoot suit in the Patterson-Gimlin film and passed a polygraph test on national TV. However, the media failed to mention that Roger Patterson also passed a polygraph test in 1968, and no one has ever produced a suit matching what's in the film. Overall, this video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast. It's always interesting to see how the media has shaped the perception of Bigfoot research, and this video provides a fascinating insight into that history. So, grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the video! Happy Squatching! [Excitement Level: 7] (Note: The
