CRYPTOLINK: Stabilized Bigfoot video completely changes the iconic footage

A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me. 

The Patterson-Gimlin film is one of the most endearing pieces of cryptid recording in existence. This shaky bit of film from 1967 was long held up as proof of the existence of Bigfoot, the mythical man-beast that stalked the woodlands. But the footage itself is extremely shaky and low quality.

On Reddit, a thread popped up of the Patterson-Gimlin footage stabilized into a GIF, with the discussion then linking to some better quality versions of similar feats. Watching this famously wobbly video in a much more stable manner really does make Bigfoot look less like a fantastic creature, and more like just a person in a suit. You can check out the original stabilized version here and the better one here (high-res) to open them in new windows.
