It's too funny you used that wording, because here's the deal. Roger Patterson DID work for Hollywood. In fact, he worked as a photographeron a planet of the apes type project BEFORE he made his famous film. Interesting, huh? Incidentally, most of the big Sasquatch searchers of the time considered Patterson to be a con man.

Now to throw you a bone, I rather think there is something in the Himalayas. It would be no particular big whoop if there was another primate running around over there, since they have several know species of apes and monkeys in the immediate area. If they find it, it'll probably be some relatively unspectacular variation of some other primate they already knew.

But in North America? I doubt it. We have no wild primates of any kind here, never have had. The bigfoot sites promote the critter in just ridiculous places, like Maryland. I just don't know how any logical human can think a nine-foot tall monkey is running around friggin' Maryland but nobody can prove it.
