Ancient Mysteries:Bigfoot

I'm not sure if Bigfoot exists, and ANCIENT MYSTERIES: BIGFOOT really didn't convince me either way. I am still open to the possibility that Bigfoot does exist, and the possibility that it is the product of a lot of over-imagination. But that is what I found most interesting about ANCIENT MYSTERIES: BIGFOOT, and the Bigfoot phenomenon itself: the way it provides us with something interesting to "imagine" about. The fun of a mystery is that it is not solved and therefore you can make up all kinds of theories. In other words, to me, it is not so much whether Bigfoot exists or not that is interesting. What I find interesting is what people believe about Bigfoot (I'm not concerned with whether the beliefs are true or not), and ANCIENT MYSTERIES: BIGFOOT provided many interviews with people who shared their beliefs. And, much to my surprise, I found that Bigfoot sightings have been made in all 48 mainland states.

Leonard Nimoy is the absolute perfect narrator of this documentary. His voice conveys the sense of "eerie" and "noir" necessary for this subject. And this video contains some beautiful footage of the forests of the Pacific Northwest, which is where most Bigfoot sightings have occured; all of which I find rather exciting because I live in the Pacific Northwest.

This is one of the first Sasquatch videos I had ever seen. It presents the material beautifully if a little dated. I had to get it for the collection. THis had lots of data, and was narrated well by Leonard Nimoy [ another bonus!!]
its one of the cryptozoology videos you simply have to have!

A very good documentary for enthusiasts in the field of cryptozoology. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 5 is the problems I have with all television documentaries on these subjects, and that is, the film makers simply aren't given enough time to put forth all the information and evidence that is needed to fully complete their argument. One hour minus commercial time is simply not long enough. But make no mistake, this documentary has everything needed to start that argument including a detailed discussion of the legendary Patterson film, analysis of distinct and unique footprints with Peter Byrne and the late Dr. Grover Krantz(both integral to the subject of Sasquatch), as well as historical and a few eye witness accounts. Production values are high as usual with A&E but with an extra hour to present more evidence and accounts, the argument for the existence would have been made much more thoroughly to no fault of the film makers or contributers. I'm sure their hands were tied. Anyone interested may want to try and find a copy of Peter Byrne's book, 'Bigfoot: Monster, Man, or Myth'. It is as good and thorough a book as you will ever read on the subject.
