(TV Show) National Geographic- Bigfoot Monster Mystery (1997)

Bigfoot Monster Mystery

1997: produced for British Channel 4 by Mark Scullet and Directed by Norman Hull.

This program traces the efforts of British biologist and wildlife cameraman John Waters as he investigates and half-heartedly tries to film a sasquatch. The show ultimately ends with an attempt to create a convincing hoax, which all agree is very difficult.

Note: What has often been mistaken for a bright, whitish eye actually appears to be a bit of vegetation or other debris that seems to be on the branch.

The program features:

• Henry Franzoni who assists Waters for most of the program, explains and demonstrates his drumming for sasquatch in the snowy woods, and recounts his Aug. 1, 1993 encounter.
• the obligatory showing of the Patterson-Gimlin film.
• an initial false presentation of the shows hoaxed footage as Goat Mountain, Oregon November 1996 footage.
• Larry Lund the "Sasquatch Sleuth" who also assists with most of the program.
• the three participating in a radio interview on the Adam and Chris Show, Radio Earth 105 FM.
• Henner Fahrenbach discussing hair samples and the usual things and participating in the hoax attempt.
• Ron Morehead explaining some of the sounds he's recorded.
• Todd Neise, National Guard Sgt., describing his encounter.
• Howard Hall, logger, describing one of his encounters.
• Patrick Denver, costume maker, helping create the hoax attempt.

Hoax attempt, this is the costume used for the show, and was in several pictures that makes the rounds on occasion.
