Bigfoot: America's Abominable Snowman

Part of True Found Vault, our free streaming collection of classic, controversial cryptid, UFO/alien and paranormal documentaries from the past.

Before the trail cams, the TV shows, and the endless hoaxes, there was this. The first documentary ever made about Bigfoot, and for nearly 50 years, no one could find it.

Bigfoot: America’s Abominable Snowman is where the entire phenomenon began on film. It vanished for almost half a century, then resurfaced around 2013. Now it’s back, exactly as the legend was first told.

Roger Patterson, the man behind the most famous Bigfoot footage ever filmed, recounts his filming experience in a rare interview. Researchers John Russell Napier and Ivan Sanderson bring the early hunt to life, from the days when no one knew what they were chasing.

This isn’t a recap. It’s the original, found again after decades in the dark.

•Widely recognized as the first-ever documentary dedicated to Bigfoot
