A Tribute to Bob Gimlin

 

I first met Bob Gimlin in Willow Creek California in 2003 while filming the Bluff Creek episode of Mysterious Encounters. I was 29.

Bob’s name was one that I’d been familiar with since I was a small child. My passion for checking out bigfoot books from school libraries and bookmobiles (to sidelong glances of amused librarians) – coupled with my own small, secret connection that made the Patterson-Gimlin film extra special to me – made my first meeting with Bob one of the most treasured moments of my life.

Generally, the only sport you’ll catch me watching is UFC. I admit it. I like it. Maybe it’s because there are so few rules and it’s easy to follow. Of course, I liked it better when there were fewer rules, when the winner went straight on to the next fight, when the fighters rarely cross-trained… and when Royce Gracie was allowed to wrap his prehensile toes into the chain-link of the octagon and wriggle out of a full guard.

Real Bigfoot Pictures

If you go to Yahoo.com and search for “real bigfoot pictures”, you end up with links to Youtube. Sadly. Your first choice appears to be a link to a video that, if you can stand the thrash metal, will take you through photos including the Patterson Gimlin film, a few sad fakes and hoaxes and a photo of Michael Jackson. Last time I checked, his feet were relatively small (he was not a large man).

The next one on the list is a link to a video that includes the Dead Bigfoot in the Freezer hoax from those brainiacs down in Georgia. Great. Chalk one more up to credible evidence and satisfactory search results.
