The famous Patterson film is one of two relatively convincing pieces of footage that lends any credence to Sasquatch in my mind. Amid a myriad of cheap hoaxes, this, along with one other film taken in, I believe 1992, of two alleged bigfoot, are the only films that have even a spark of authenticity.
For one thing, the Patterson film was shot in 1967. It would have been far more difficult to hoax it than it would today. You can actually see the flexing musculature of what appears to be a female sasquatch in the
Patterson film, particularly in the buttocks and upper thigh region. That would be very difficult to hoax today, let alone in 1967.
However, it is certainly not impossible. It is also believed that as of 1962, Patterson had become infatuated by the legend of Bigfoot prior to the alleged discovery. This of course makes it less believable. Regardless, Patterson did go to the grave insisting that it was not a hoax. The other expeditionary man, Gimlin, has also claimed that he is in no way lying. He does, however, concede that he may have been duped by Patterson in lieu of his increasing obsession with the creatures.
By way of the comparison of various
audio clips taken over the years, these are the only semi convincing sounds reputed to come from
Sasquatch.

Klamath Falls, Oregon
Snohomish, Washington
Everything else I've ever seen or heard is either too grainy, too far away, inconclusive, or an obvious hoax. These are about the only things that make me question the veracity.
