I remember reading an old paperback years ago and I am pretty sure that it said something in there about Bob Gimlin meeting with a couple in the mid 60's (before the Patterson film) and reporting in a interview that he'd encountered a sasquatch.
Does anyone know if there is a report that Gimlin claimed an encounter before the P/G film?

Does anyone know if there is a report that Gimlin claimed an encounter before the P/G film? Gimlin has always said that he didn't even really know if the creatures existed until he and Roger came across the one they filmed, thus its safe to say that any report of him having a prior encounter is not accurate. |

I had heard the same thing - his first sighting was at Bluff Creek with the female in question. Good video (animated gif).  R |

Yeah, that's exactly what I heard Gimlin say in a youtube interview I watched yesterday and I was like, "hold on, I am sure I remember reading in an old papaerback, etc..." So I decided to post the question here.
I'd love to find the book and pull out the quote, but it would require finding it and re-reading, I'll have a look. I remember it was a very obscure paperback book though. And when I read that passage (even the first time) I remember thinking... "whoa, I have never heard that before. P/G had reported a prior sighting befrore the 1967 film, wtf???"
I know I'm not mistaken that I read it, but it could certainly be that it wasn't accurate.
Just to cover all the bases, incase I have the two confused: Patterson didn't claim a prior sighting before the 1967 film either eh?

Roger had claimed to see tracks prior to the film ... not a sighting of the creature itself. |
