Sighting Analysis : As their stories went, in the early afternoon of Friday, October 20, Patterson and Gimlin were riding generally northeast on horseback along the east bank of Bluff Creek.
At sometime between 1:15 and 1:40 PM. They came to an overturned tree with a large root system at a turn in the creek, almost as high as a room.
When they rounded it, there was a logjam left over from the flood of 1964 and then they spotted the Creature behind it nearly simultaneously.
It was either crouching beside the creek to their left or standing there, on the opposite bank.
The film shows what Patterson & Gimlin claimed was a large, hairy, bipedal, apelike figure with short, dark reddish-brown hair covering most of its body, including its prominent breasts. The figure in the Patterson–Gimlin film generally matches the descriptions of Bigfoot offered by others who claim to have seen one.
