I grew up not far from where the Patterson film was shot (in Northern California), and literally grew up in those woods. I never saw no Bigfoot. The Hoopa Indians mock bigfoot sightings... he's a woodland spirit, they say, and can't be seen.
But I've seen more recent footage that was mind-blowing, shot up in Canada or something. I still don't believe, but I was impressed. It showed a bigfoot running across a bare hillside.
I'm more interested in the recent sightings of the Tasmanian tiger in Tasmania. Obviously more credible.

There's a theory that a lot of creatures like bigfoot, aliens, mothman, etc. are actually interdimensional beings who only occasionally "cross over" and are then seen by ordinary folk. Certain window areas (or areas where there are a high concentration of sightings) apparently have some sort of environmental anomaly that allows these beings to come through more often than other places.
I read too many crackpot books. But they're so much fun!

this guy has some fab auctions. this one is for $1,000,000:
"This will be the last time these auctions will run. With the new information of the rare upcoming Venus/Sun transit starting on June 8 2004 and culminating in 2012 at the end of the Mayan calendar this information has jumped in value 10 fold. The metaphysical wise will know why since the Lucifer and alien involvement will play an important role. I had made a promise no matter how much this evidence will be ridiculed that I would run the auctions 3 times and I always keep my promise. "

Only as sure as I can be from having just read the one book; but apparently there were just too many cases of it happening where there were no signs of pollution, and it's happened in pretty much every climate where frogs live in the wild. I'd go grab it, but it's one of the books I had to put in storage to make room.
Oh, by "climate" I meant "local climate." Global warming, or at least worldwide atmospheric changes, seems to be the most likely explanation, at the end of the book, iirc. (Since the book's now 2 years old, who knows what's happened since.)
