On Sunday I sit down with Bob Gimlin.
The Patterson–Gimlin film (also referred to as simply the Patterson film) is a famous short motion picture of an unidentified subject the film makers purported to be a “Bigfoot”, that was supposedly filmed on October 20, 1967, by Roger Patterson (February 14, 1933 – January 15, 1972) and Robert “Bob” Gimlin (born October 18, 1931) on Bluff Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River about 25 road miles north-west of Orleans, California. The film has been subjected to many attempts both to debunk and authenticate it. Some scientists who have studied the film have judged it to be a hoax with a man in an ape suit. Other scientists, such as Jeffrey Meldrum, have done studies (which claim to be scientific) concluding that the alleged creature is likely to be non-human.
Both Patterson and Gimlin have always insisted they encountered and filmed a real Bigfoot, not a man in a costume. Patterson died of cancer in 1972. Patterson’s friend, Gimlin, has always denied being involved in any part of a hoax with Patterson. Gimlin mostly avoided publicly discussing the subject from at least the early 1970s until about 2000 (save for an appearance on Arthur C. Clarke’s Mysterious World in 1980, and an appearance at the 1978 UBC Conference) when he began giving interviews and making appearances at Bigfoot conferences.

It will be great to hear Gimlin once again up close and personal with Wes doing the interview. Right on !

I am assuming that by the time the show airs it is prerecorded. It would be nice if there would be a way that paid members could submit a question to Wes before the interview. WES, you would not have to ask the questions but someone might want to ask a question you had not thought of. Thanks and really looking forward to Sunday!
