The Bigfoot Inquiry: The Patterson-Gimlin Film Revisited

This episode marks the first official installment of our brand-new segment, The Bigfoot Inquiry — a new evidence-driven series where Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow take on the Bigfoot topics most people in the community either avoid, dismiss, or simply refuse to talk about honestly.

This will most likely become a weekly segment, with Hogan and Brian digging into the claims, controversies, evidence, personalities, and long-standing debates that continue to shape the Sasquatch world.And for the first episode, there may be no bigger place to begin than with the most famous piece of Bigfoot evidence ever captured: the Patterson-Gimlin Film.

For decades, the PGF has stood at the center of the Bigfoot debate. To some, it is the strongest visual evidence ever recorded of an unknown North American primate. To others, it is nothing more than a well-executed hoax. But with the release of the new documentary Capturing Bigfoot, new questions, perspectives, and claims are being brought into the conversation — some of which may challenge what we know, or at least what we think we know, about the film.

So what happens when 16 years of law enforcement experience meets nearly 30 years of primate behavioral research? That's the foundation of The Bigfoot Inquiry.

Hosted by former police officer Brian King-Sharp and Dr. Hogan Sherrow, PhD in Evolutionary Anthropology, this segment approaches the Sasquatch phenomenon through two very different but complementary lenses: real investigative procedure and scientific analysis.

Brian brings 16 years of experience analyzing crime scenes, evaluating witness credibility, reconstructing events, and asking the uncomfortable questions that often separate assumption from evidence.

Dr. Sherrow brings nearly three decades of studying primate behavioral ecology in the wild, with expertise in locomotion, habitat, social behavior, evolutionary biology, and the realities of how primates move, survive, adapt, and leave evidence behind. Together, Brian and Hogan examine Bigfoot claims with structure, skepticism, curiosity, and respect.

In this debut episode, they dive into: The enduring mystery of the Patterson-Gimlin Film

• Why the film still matters nearly six decades later
• The arguments for and against its authenticity
• The new questions raised by the Capturing Bigfoot documentary
• What law enforcement-style analysis can bring to the PGF debate
• What primate behavior and evolutionary anthropology can reveal
• Why some evidence deserves closer scrutiny — even when it makes people uncomfortable.

This is not campfire storytelling. It is not blind belief. And it is not mockery. It is structured inquiry Because if Sasquatch exists, the evidence should be able to withstand scrutiny. And if it does not — we will say that too.
