Supposed footage of Bigfoot ruined these two men's lives, ended their friendship, and ushered in a new era of misinformation. In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson captured the legendary footage of Bigfoot walking through the woods in Northern California. You've seen the video, but did you know the full story behind it? The fact that Roger Patterson used the video to transform himself into a traveling conspiracy theory circus ringleader, or that it ruined the two men's friendship, or that nearly overnight the frenzy around this footage started a movement that could almost be considered a religion and still continues on to this day? On this episode of Deep Cuts, we explore the infamous Patterson-Gimlin film.
