----- Summary: Names, Dates, Places -----

In the article, Two Bigfoot researchers claim the famous
Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film is a hoax, based on the the discovery
of a "fastener" on the creature's side.

The Patterson-Gimlin film was taken on Oct. 20, 1967, by Roger
Patterson and Bob Gimlin.  Patterson is dead and Gimlin refuses
interviews.

The two doubters are Cliff Crook of Bothell, WA, and Chris Murphy of
Vancouver, BC.  In a photo, Crook is shown among his Bigfoot
artifacts.

The authenicity of the film is supported by Rene Dahinden of Richmond,
BC, who shares the films copyright.  It is also supported by
Washington State University professor of anthropology Grover Krantz,
and Ray Crowe, president of the Western Bigfoot Society in Portland,
Ore.

BOTHELL, Wash. (AP) -- In the hearts and minds of true believers,
Bigfoot's existence has long been enshrined in a single minute of
jerky, grainy footage of a startled sasquatch retreating into the
upper California woods.

But two enthusiasts of the legendary being are alleging four magnified
frames of the 16 mm footage show tracings of a bell-shaped fastener at
Bigfoot's waist. They say the creature in the so-called
Patterson-Gimlin Film can finally be dismissed as a man in a monkey
suit.
