Origins of “M.K. Footage”
The other day, I wrote positively about M.K. Davis’s work with the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Cryptomundo technical staff shared, in what we viewed as an extension of Davis’s past permissions and a fair use situation, M. K. Davis’ stabilization work done on the Patterson-Gimlin footage. Then very late that night, we were contacted by Bobbie Short (who coincidentally carries a fair use statement on every one of her pages because her site is so full of copyrighted material). Ms. Short was speaking on M.K. Davis’s behalf, she said, and she told us to immediately remove “M.K.’s stabilization gif,” because we have [...]
What Stick?
John Green, Rick Noll, and Chris Murphy discussed the recent revelations about the Patterson-Gimlin footage over the weekend. Rick Noll, returning from a trip to British Columbia, sent this along today, December 11th: I was with John Green this weekend and he showed me an email from M.K. Davis that contained yet another gif from the images I produced for John. In these M.K. is claiming to have discovered the creature carrying a stick. Looking at the images I started to laugh. The stick like figure is nothing but the outside darkend edge of the left hand… the palm of [...]
Déjà Vu Davis
"The word is out! Yes we are saying Bigfoot is human, and we think we have proved it….Everyone said it was an ape or creature or something else. No, it’s a human being of some sort. A very large human at that. It could be one of the oldest races in existence. Clues are in the movie…You be the judge. Man in a suit – Miocene ape – no way!" – Pat Holdbrook, November 2006. "All the images and explanations will be in Holdbrook’s movie. I will be glad to preview with anyone the images, if they are willing to [...]
Scientific Names for Bigfoot
Harry Trumbore’s drawing (above) of the Himalayan Yeti. I wrote this paper about a decade ago, but just ran across it recently. Considering that Craig Woolheater’s discussion today is “Down Classification Avenue With Sasquatch,” it seemed appropriate to revisit my thoughts on this matter, more specifically, here today. Scientific Names for Bigfoot What is the scientific name for “Bigfoot”? This is a question with a few complex answers. “Bigfoot,” of course, is the post-1958 name for those (seemingly) unknown hairy hominoids found in the Pacific Northwest of the USA with large human-like footprints and an upright stance. With the Canadian [...]
James Kim and Squatching
You don’t need to read here that James Kim, CNET senior editor, has been sadly discovered deceased after being lost for 11 days in Oregon. Or wonderfully that his family was found safe and well-fed. It is all over the media, including this good link at Boing Boing to a site for donations directly to the family. My thoughts are with Kim’s family and friends. And one friend is familiar to many of us. I want to especially send my heartfelt condolences to that friend of James Kim’s, Scott Herriott. They worked together at Tech TV. Scott is remembered in [...]
Patterson-Gimlin Footage Stabilization
Looking for the footage? Portions of this website are reprinted under the Fair Use Doctrine of International Copyright Law as educational material without benefit of financial gain. Despite the above, at least on this site, M. K. Davis does not want you to see the stabilization footage of the Roger Patterson-Bob Gimlin footage, a piece of film that is copyrighted to Roger Patterson’s widow. We will post where you can buy both of M. K. Davis’s DVDs, later.
John Green on Patterson-Gimlin Footage
John Green (right) interviews Albert Ostman about Ostman’s 1924 Sasquatch abduction incident in British Columbia. As a newspaper man from Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, John Green began investigating Sasquatch reports in 1957, at the age of 30, interviewing witnesses and conducting on-site inquiries. He published several monographs and then a book on the subject, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us in 1975. Today, turning 80 years old in 2007, John Green is one of North America’s foremost Bigfoot researchers and enjoying the new reprint of his bible of the field, Sasquatch: The Apes Among Us. This recent printing of his [...]
What’s Being Said?
“Davis says that he can explain all the unusual features of the subject as that of a human being.” – M. K. Davis’ press release, written by M. K. Davis, Nov. 26, 2006. “When I say living in the wild, I do not mean feral, but ‘out of contact’. I know from the film that it is human, and that it manipulates its environment and has a culture of some sort.” – M. K. Davis, email to Loren Coleman, Nov. 26, 2006. “I will explain in due time.” – M. K. Davis, email to Loren Coleman, Nov. 26, 2006. “Yes [...]
