Description
This painting depicts "Goliath", a large bipedal mammal that has been sighted
in Newmarket, New Hampshire within the first quarter of the 21st Century.
Bigfoot is a cryptid, which supposedly is a simian-like creature of American folklore
that is said to inhabit forests, especially in the Pacific Northwest.
Bigfoot is usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid.
The term "Sasquatch" is an Anglicized derivative of the Halkomelem word sásq'ets.
Using descriptions from first hand accounts from one area Cryptozoologist,
"Goliath" was reconstructed from the detailed descriptions,
and references of other accounts of Bigfoot,
including the famed 1967 sighting (and film) shot in Humboldt County, California.
The footage was filmed alongside Bluff Creek, a tributary of the Klamath River,
about 25 logging-road miles northwest of Orleans, California, in Humboldt County.
The film site is roughly 38 miles south of Oregon and 18 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.
For decades, the exact location of the site was lost,
primarily because of re-growth of foliage in the stream-bed after the flood of 1964.
It was rediscovered in 2011.
It is just south of a north-running segment of the creek
informally known as "the bowling alley."
The filmmakers were Roger Patterson and Robert "Bob" Gimlin.
Patterson died of cancer in 1972 and "maintained right to the end
that the creature on the film was real."
Patterson's friend, Bob 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 2005 (except for three appearances),
when he began giving interviews and appearing at Bigfoot conferences.
The film is 23.85 feet long (preceded by 76.15 feet of "horseback" footage),
has 954 frames, and runs for 59.5 seconds at 16 frames per second.
If the film was shot at 18 fps, as Grover Krantz believed, the event lasted 53 seconds.
The date was October 20, 1967, according to the filmmakers,
although some critics believe it was shot earlier.
The Bigfoot of Ash Swamp Road is a male of the species.
Goliath marks his territory with "squatch notches",
which are pilings of dead tree trunks placed in formations
within the wilderness off of Ash Swamp Road.
