Have you ever seen the Patterson Gimlim film? That's a start. If im not mistaken, Patterson himself confessed just prior to his death that his film was a hoax.

Wrong, I know of multiple videos by men smarter than me where they breakdown the video and also the being and the mechanics of the being proving it not have human mechanics, they make no claim as to what it is other than it's not human. I'm not here trying to convince anyone of anything but I would say there's plenty video and audio out there on the internet to do your own research. To me if it's out there, I want to know what I'm sharing the forest with. I would rather not have a Mark Barton experience..

What was the Mark Barton experience you referred to? A simple search would reveal the answer to your question but knowing the back story (context) is important. He was part of a channel named " The trail to bigfoot", a research team researching in the Green swamp of Florida.

"Hoax of the Century" is a film that explains the footage. Bob Heironimus admits to wearing the suit. Im certainly not vouching for any of them, Gimlin, Patterson or Heirominus. I can beleive there are not-yet-discovered species living in the darkness of the ocean a couple miles down...but for people to still think that giant apes are running around the woods, even migrating each year as some suggest...not so much. But as many have pointed out, it sure is entertaining ... https://youtu.be/4EicVEOtm1A Here's another look at the claim it was hoaxed....and I'm not on the "this is a ape" team.

All I can say is I hope you non believers never run into one of these things it changes your whole world forever. I really wish I could go back to when I thought it was not real.

The only tale I think might involve a “new” species is the one written by the Swedish researcher Lirpa Loof.

Here is my story. I do not believe in bigfoot. Dave does. Now. I do not know what I saw. However, as I was coming home from FL a few weeks back there were signs for a bigfoot museum in the same area that we saw the thing. I didn't go to the museum because I missed the turn somewhere. I really wish I had hit whatever it was because it would have been a lot easier to explain that what ended up happening.
THE STORY OF THE MOUNTAIN BIGFOOT
One day in 1997, I agreed to help my friend Dave move his stuff to southern LA. Houma LA to be specific. Now keep in mind that this should have been a simple 5 hour trip, but when Dave is involved, nothing ever goes as planned. First off, some (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)-monkey convinced him that it would be quicker to go from Clarksville TN to Houma LA by going east to Chattanooga and then cutting the GA/AL corner. Everything went pretty smooth all of the way through Chattanooga other than the fact Chattanooga is a filthy (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)-hole filled with disgusting people. Or at least it was that day. We made it down to this area somewhere in the GA/AL corner which was mountains on both sides. Sheer rock walls covered in chain link fence so boulders will roll down and stay at the bottom of the road cut instead of making some station wagon full of little tricycle motors into a flat blob of blood and motor oil. The scenery was really cool, however, the road grade was very steep. It was easy to start to go too fast for the 10,000 hairpin turns the road made each mile. In one mountain valley we were driving through, there were a lot of deer which seemed bound and determined to kill themselves on my bumper. Now keep in mind that I am driving a Ryder truck, the biggest one they rent out, which is filled with about 15,000 dollars worth of antiques not to mention the household goods. Having to put the brakes on too fast could be disastrous to the contents. As we drive along, I am driving, Dave is asleep in the passenger seat. A small group of deer bolts out in front of us and I am forced to brake a little harder than I am comfortable with. Dave wakes up and says “What in the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is going on” I explain the deer and he reminds me about the $15,000 worth of his wife’s antiques in the back. I respond with “No (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), would you rather I smoke a deer and cause us to be forced to wait for another truck?” He didn’t. Dave goes back to sleep and I continue to drive down this mountain. I come to a gentle curve with a wonderful view of a huge mountain valley. There is a wall to the left and woods and scenery to the right. All of a sudden that is not the only thing I can see. Now there is this great big hairy thing about 7 foot tall standing in the road just inside of the white line. Just as I put my foot on the brakes, Dave wakes up and sees this thing 10 feet in front of him. Dave screams at the top of his lungs, as he is running up the back side of the seat with his (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)-cheeks, “WHAT IN THE (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) IS THAT HAIRY MOTHER (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)!!!!!!!!!!” Now picture a 230 pound southern Louisiana coon-(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) with the accent to match screaming this out. I hit the brakes so as to not hit whatever this thing is. Everything in the back of the truck slid forward at a rapid pace. Much faster than the front of the truck is moving. We could hear stuff breaking, but can not do anything about it. In retrospect I should have run the son of a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) down. It would have been a lot cheaper in the long run. We get to Houma where the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is about to hit the fan. Now we have to explain to Sandy, his wife, that we destroyed her antiques, some of which were 200 years old and older because we didn’t want to hit a bigfoot. Naturally she thinks that we are out of our minds. She thinks that we are completely full of (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and that we are morons because we could not come up with a better story than ---BIGFOOT. In the end, the damage was totaled up to around $10,000. Sandy was (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), the insurance company was (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). Both Dave and I look like assholes to all of the above, and we have no proof of anything. I don’t believe in bigfoot. I think it is all a bunch of crap. Yet, how in the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) do I explain a bigfoot stepping out into the highway in front of me and seeing it clear as day? Everyone wanted to accuse us of drunk driving, drugs, stupidity, and about every other thing they could think of. Neither one of us had had a drop of alcohol neither had either of us been under the influence of any drug. I was wide awake and alert with no fatigue. Think what you want, I saw it, a god-(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) bigfoot. I still don’t believe in bigfoot, but what in the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) was it? Some tard dressed up like bigfoot? A dummy? Something was there. Two people saw it. I think Dave pooped in his pants at least a little. Maybe I should have run it down. At least then I would have a body. If it was some tard in a costume, Darwin would have claimed his rights. If it was some sort of undiscovered beast, I could have held the carcass for ransom for any amount I wanted. Either way, in the end, all I have is a story which most people who are rational think is bullshit or the ramblings of a (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman).

All I can say is snake oil and hoaxs of all types were quite the rage in that time period. The Rune stones and lots of other not so elaborate hoaxs were considered a lot of fun.
You believers enjoy your special day today!
