Happy 46th Patty!
Posted by: John Kirk on October 20th, 2013
Today is the 46th anniversary of the Patterson-Gimlin film. We pause to remember that significant cryptozoological event today. So glad Bob Gimlin is still as healthy as can be these days.

About John Kirk
One of the founders of the BCSCC, John Kirk has enjoyed a varied and exciting career path. Both a print and broadcast journalist, John Kirk has in recent years been at the forefront of much of the BCSCC’s expeditions, investigations and publishing. John has been particularly interested in the phenomenon of unknown aquatic cryptids around the world and is the author of In the Domain of the Lake Monsters (Key Porter Books, 1998).
In addition to his interest in freshwater cryptids, John has been keenly interested in investigating the possible existence of sasquatch and other bipedal hominids of the world, and in particular, the Yeren of China. John is also chairman of the Crypto Safari organization, which specializes in sending teams of investigators to remote parts of the world to search for animals as yet unidentified by science. John travelled with a Crypto Safari team to Cameroon and northern Republic of Congo to interview witnesses among the Baka pygmies and Bantu bushmen who have sighted a large unknown animal that bears more than a superficial resemblance to a dinosaur.

In demand at conferences, seminars, lectures and on television and radio programs, John has spoken all over North America and has appeared in programs on NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, TLC, Discovery, CBC, CTV and the BBC.

Now if only we could get her to stop by and pose for better pictures….
Patty, here’s lookin’ at you, kid!
And still no real signs indicating Patty was a hoax.
How many people – let alone celebrities – get birthday greetings including: “…Whether you’re real or not…?”
Happy 46th anniversary as well to the Skeptics Will Find One Piece of Evidence That This Is Fake One Day You Just Watch! Society!
