This guy keeps coming back with this (don't know why, must be for publicity). This is supposedly the 16mm Kodachrome film shot of "bigfoot".

However, in the past year the guy that started this in the Pacific Northwest died and his family finally admitted that it all was a hoax. He made a lot of money out of this hoax. Way back in 1967-8 when I was working at a lab in the Pacific NW, these guys came in with a full "movie" most of it lifted from a BBC documentary but including their Kodachrome footage.

They went out and four walled theatres through out the region and sold out the houses to see thier "BigFoot" documentary. As I recall we only make two 16mm Ektachrome electro prints back then and they took a 16mm Kodak Marc 300 projector with them to show the film.

Save your money (as if you were going to bid anyway).
