Summary
The Bigfoot world is buzzing about explosive new claims that challenge the authenticity of the legendary Patterson-Gimlin film. A documentary now alleges the iconic 1967 footage was staged, but many in the community are pushing back by defending Bob Gimlin and questioning why key voices were left out of the narrative. Jeremy digs into the controversy with Mel Skahan and Doug Meacham to discuss the validity of these claims and a regression performed on Gimlin that recalled key details of the sighting.
