Sasquatch Odyssey

Brian welcomes author and researcher Greg Long to Sasquatch Odyssey for a revealing conversation about his book, The Making of Bigfoot, and the investigation that led him to challenge the Patterson–Gimlin film.Greg traces his research through Yakima and Tampico, Washington, where interviews led him to Bob Heironimus—the man who told Greg he wore the Bigfoot suit.

He shares accounts from Heironimus’s family and other witnesses who reported seeing the costume in a blue Buick, alongside recollections of Roger Patterson that describe a creative man whose honesty those witnesses questioned. The conversation tackles some of the film’s most disputed details: uncertainty surrounding the shooting date, questions about the rapid film-processing timeline, and costume claims involving Philip Morris.

Greg also discusses Clint Patterson’s claim that the suit was later burned, newly discovered footage connected to Norm Johnson’s Boeing lab, and a possible link to Dave Johnson.

With the documentary Capturing Bigfoot bringing these questions back into focus, Brian and Greg examine the testimony, competing accounts, and unresolved details behind one of the most famous pieces of footage ever recorded.

Greg lays out his case for a hoax and encourages listeners to read his book, watch the documentary, and weigh the evidence for themselves.

Fred from the SubArctic Alaska Sasquatch YouTube Channel is back. This time, he shares the chilling account of Stanley, a pilot whose first solo visit to an inherited cabin became a terrifying ordeal at a remote Alaskan retreat he called Devil’s Lake. After landing his float-equipped Piper Super Cub, Stanley felt an overwhelming sense that he was being watched. 

Then came a sharp whoop—and a massive, dark figure he estimated at 12 feet tall shaking trees near the cabin. Stanley retreated inside, barricaded the door, and armed himself. A foul odor and another sighting added to his fear before nightfall.

The following morning, the figure returned near his plane. Stanley describes it moving rapidly on all fours, shaking trees while vocalizing, and appearing to push the aircraft’s tail. Before finally escaping by air, he says he saw its face: wrinkled, charcoal-gray skin and bright golden-yellow eyes.

Four years later, Stanley returned with friends and found the property peaceful. But his grandfather’s journals revealed an unsettling detail: references to a “hairy man” appeared only during the years when his grandfather’s health was declining.

Those entries leave a lingering question about whether vulnerability played a role in the encounters—and what his grandfather experienced at Devil’s Lake.

In this two-part episode, I sit down with Capturing Bigfoot director Marq Evans, producer Tamir Ardon, and Roger Patterson’s son, Clint Patterson, before sharing my own conclusions about the documentary and its newly discovered footage.

Part One: The InterviewMarq and Tamir discuss audience reactions, the newly discovered 40-second reel, and the questions surrounding when it was filmed. Clint recounts his mother telling him that Bob Heironimus was in the suit, the eight-year estrangement over his plans to write a book, and the answers he wishes his father had given him. The filmmakers also respond directly to Russell Acord’s recent claims about Clint, the footage, licensing, and Bob Gimlin’s interview. Clint closes with his hope of sitting down with Gimlin in Yakima.

Part Two: My Reaction and AnalysisAfter attending the October 13 screening at New People Cinema in San Francisco, I walk through what I saw and why I’ve concluded the Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax. I examine the witnesses’ identification of the horseman as Bob Gimlin, comparisons with the Bluff Creek footage, and the financial and licensing history behind the film.I also address the disputed dates, processing timeline, possibility of a later reenactment, anatomical arguments, and Gimlin’s on-camera reaction to seeing the reel.

Along the way, I tackle the backlash to my position and acknowledge the unanswered questions and weak points in the case.I distinguish documented evidence, witness accounts, disputed claims, and my own conclusions. My position is my own, and I encourage you to watch the documentary, examine the evidence, and decide for yourself.

In the winter of 1950, Thomas finally crossed a boundary his father had warned him never to cross. Deep in the mountains of north Georgia, on a remote section of the family's 80-acre property, he ventured into an area Will had marked on an old map with three chilling words: DO NOT GO HERE.

What Thomas discovered suggested the Sasquatch living on the mountain had a hidden place of their own. Massive footprints, twisted trees, carefully arranged stones, shattered bones, and a secluded shelter beneath a rocky overhang all pointed to something extraordinary. But when the forest suddenly fell silent and something enormous began moving through the laurel above him, Thomas realized he wasn't alone. Whatever lived on that ridge knew he was there—and it followed him all the way back down the mountain.

Over the next several years, Thomas continued the uneasy arrangement his father had established with the mysterious creatures. But everything changed when three timber men arrived with frightening stories of something massive stalking their camp on the neighboring property. Then came a cold November night, a single rifle shot echoing through the mountains, and nearly a minute of terrifying screams unlike anything Thomas had ever heard. At daylight, Thomas followed a trail of evidence that would change everything: enormous tracks, blood on the mountainside, signs that something wounded had been dragged uphill, and a spent rifle casing. 

Someone had entered the mountain with a gun, and Thomas was determined to find out who.In Part Four of The Arrangement, we continue the remarkable account shared through emails by a mysterious man named Jimmy, whose family has owned this secluded north Georgia property for generations. Jimmy claims his grandfather first revealed these events to him when he was just nine years old.

Today, he says he still possesses the original map, the rifle casing, and eleven handwritten pages documenting what happened.For decades, Jimmy's family protected a secret about the Sasquatch living on their land. But someone from outside the family had crossed a line, and the fragile peace established by his great-grandfather was about to unravel.

Coming in Part Five: Thomas discovers who was responsible for the gunshot on the mountain—and what he decides to do about it could put his family and everything his father worked to protect at risk.

What if everything you thought you knew about the most famous Bigfoot film ever recorded was only part of the story?

In this special episode of Sasquatch Odyssey, we're taking you inside an exclusive audience Q&A following a screening of the groundbreaking documentary Capturing Bigfoot. Filmmaker Marq Evans, producer Tamir Ardon, and Roger Patterson's son, Clint Patterson, pull back the curtain on the making of the film, revealing family secrets, previously unseen footage, behind-the-scenes conflicts, and explosive allegations surrounding the legendary 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film.

The story begins in June 2022, when Teresa Brooks contacted filmmaker Marq Evans about a mysterious 16mm film reel discovered in her late father's safe. What initially seemed like an intriguing piece of forgotten Bigfoot history quickly became the starting point for a years-long investigation into Roger Patterson, the people surrounding him, and the complicated legacy of the most scrutinized cryptid footage in history.

The filmmakers explain how they uncovered rare archival material, gained access to more than 100 hours of interviews collected by author Greg Long, and tracked down individuals who had spent decades avoiding questions about Patterson and the famous film. But perhaps their most significant breakthrough came when they earned the trust of Clint Patterson, Roger's son, whose involvement would ultimately transform the direction of the documentary.

For Clint, participating in Capturing Bigfoot was about much more than revisiting an old controversy. He speaks candidly about growing up in the shadow of his father's legacy, the anger he carried for decades, and how the filmmaking process helped him repair his relationship with his mother. He also addresses his decision to share his version of the truth, knowing it could spark considerable backlash within the Bigfoot community.

The discussion also explores the mysterious connections involving Al DeAtley, Dave Johnson, Chinook Press, and Boeing, along with the filmmakers' efforts to investigate the historical record. They reveal how interference from Al DeAtley's estate complicated production, why extraordinary secrecy surrounded the project, and how original 8mm and 16mm film elements were restored and scanned in 4K to bring decades-old evidence back to life. And then there's the question that has haunted Bigfoot researchers for nearly sixty years: If the Patterson-Gimlin film was a hoax, what happened to the suit? Clint offers his thoughts on that mystery, including the possibility that it was deliberately destroyed.

Throughout the Q&A, the filmmakers discuss the challenges of separating documented history from speculation, the importance of forensic film analysis, and the surprising discoveries that emerged during production. They also reveal details about the mysterious 40-second film reel that helped launch the entire investigation.

Whether you believe the Patterson-Gimlin film captured a real Sasquatch or the greatest hoax in cryptozoological history, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the people, family relationships, and unanswered questions behind one of the most enduring mysteries of the twentieth century.

Did Roger Patterson capture a creature unknown to science, or is there another story behind the legendary footage?

Join us for this revealing conversation and decide for yourself.
