(Researcher) MK Davis
Marlon Keith Davis (b. 1955 in Canton, Mississippi) is an amateur astronomer who used off-the-shelf software packages to enhance the Patterson-Gimlin film (PGF).
Davis began his research into the PGF after seeing a copy of Frame 352 (the most famous frame of the film) in a photo by Bruce Bonney sometime in 1997; he decided he could use his skills with astro-photography and off-the-shelf software to perhaps clarify the film.
MK Davis has appeared in a number of documentaries and in a low-budget fictionalized movie called An Encounter With Reality.
As time progressed Davis made claims of seeing various items in the film, including scars, bullet holes, braids and clasps in the hair, tumors, a stick in the left hand of "Patty" and other anomalies on the creature itself.
In late 2006 he announced that, based on his research, he thought the creature was a human.
MK also began to claim that a massacre of Bigfoot had occurred at the Bluff Creek site where the Patterson-Gimlin Film was filmed at, his accusations drove a huge wedge between many researchers as the footage that MK used to make his claims with was actually filmed at another location weeks earlier by others.
These days, MK attempts to convince people that the Mike Sells videotapes are actually showing real bigfoot, even though the researchers that was involved in the investigation of the Mike Sells property had concluded were hoaxed. Many researchers feel that since MK continues to make these claims about the Mike Sells videos, that he is promoting hoaxing by his endorsements.
