I have long suspected Jeff Patterson, AKA, The Squatchmaster of hoaxing his alleged evidence but hard proof was hard to come by.
Those of you who are familiar with Jeff may have seen his infamous "tree shaker" video that was featured on 'Finding Bigfoot'. That video did not fair well on the program and Jeff was extremely bitter over the situation.
Jeff also had a video where he tried to pass off photos of a Gorilla as a Bigfoot. As usual, when jeff gets caught in something, he is quick to remove the videos.
It's not going to happen this time. Before I get to the video, here are a couple of reminders that Squatchmaster doesn't think Bigfoot exists.
If you have not seen Jeff's video of "Sasquatch Speech". Listen to this, it's worse than Sasquatch Ontario's audio.
Just in case Squatchmaster decides to delete his videos, I took the liberty of grabbing a couple of screen shots.
Here is a couple of more screen shots, just in case Jeff tries to back pedal. At least a few people are calling him out on his bullshit lies.
I would like to give credit where credit is due. Sam Kitchen suggests the audio is of human speech played backwards. I decided to put his assertions to the test.
Well, did you hear that, folks? Clear spoken English! I have no idea where Jeff originally got the audio but it's not really important. The important thing is that the Squatchmaster intentionally altered an audio recording and passed it off as Bigfoot language.
The man is a fraud. It has now been proven that Jeff Patterson is a hoaxer. There is no doubt. No wiggle room this time Jeff. It's time for you to have a garage sale and sell your equipment. Find a new hobby.
Patterson also has one or two paranormal YouTube channels, so we might as well dismiss all of those videos too.
Well, Mr. Fasano has been invited to Las Vegas by Rick Dyer. Tim explains nothing in the video below but, he does plug his new membership drive. Let's hope this one stays up past the 24 hour mark.
This is what Tim had to say in the description:
The above has been confirmed by Lynk Paul, on Freezer Boy's blog. Mr. Lynk can be a condescending ass most of the time, and this time is no different.
Lynk points out the fact Tim Fasano spelled Derek's name wrong. Gee, that's a nice thing to do to a person who has been invited by the cult....I mean group Lynk is in.
I hate to break this to Lynk Paul but, it's spelled Derek Randles. If a person is going to mention the name of one of the most respected Bigfoot researchers in the community, please have the courtesy to spell his name correctly.
So, Tim has been invited to Las Vegas for the big hoax...I mean Hank reveal. Will Tim get a chance to witness this shin-dig, or will he be left standing in the airport lobby?
It's a well known fact Tim and Dyer don't get along but for some strange reason, these two people still interact with each other. It's an odd relationship to say the least.
IF Tim Fasano really gets to record the event and post the unedited video, what will be shown, if anything?
It looks like Timbergiantbigfoot is less than happy about people downloading, enhancing, or analyzing his video, Sasquatch - The Giant Revealed.
I think the issue I had with this video were the cuts while the subject was being recorded. Many people voiced concerns over this apparent lapse in judgment and the consensus was that editing the video was a really bad idea.
If anyone had the extreme luck that TGBF does with finding Sasquatch, we would all record until the batteries went dead and we certainly would not edit the video. Save the fancy cuts and music for entertainment videos.
I messaged Jim asking if I could enhance a portion of his video but I was not graced with a reply. I can only guess he ignored my message. I went ahead and provided a slow motion enhancement with a slight colour change in order to show the subject more clearly.
If you have not seen the video, I'll put it down below.
The above video has been on my channel for almost two weeks and I still have not heard from Timbergiant. He hasn't sent a message asking me to remove the video and I have not received a copyright infringement notice from YouTube.
Jim did not mention any names but I think he's the most upset with Tim Fasano over allegations made about Timbergiant`s Sasquatch video. While I don`t necessarily agree with Mr. Fasano`s assessment about Wildlife sanctuaries and costumes, I do agree with his conclusion that this is likely a hoax. At the very least, Jim mislead people or he misidentified the subject in the video.
There are those who think the furry critter is a bear, and that`s a possibility. TGBF has a previous video in which he believes he found a bear print. The Footprint Says It Best
I personally think it`s a known animal and I also think people were purposely lead to believe a real Bigfoot was filmed. We don`t see a clear shot of the face, eyes, hands, or any other distinguishing features of this alleged Sasquatch.
It saddens me to know there are so many people in Bigfootland who blindly accept alleged evidence as facts. When did it become an offense to question the findings of researchers? When did a good portion of the community decide to stop asking questions?
I'm sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but not every bent tree, fallen tree, furry animal or structure is made by a Bigfoot. You know what? It's okay to question absolutely everything but that's just my opinion.
Now that you're up to speed, I would like to talk about Timbergiant's latest video. In his monologue, Jim talks about trademarks and copyrights. TGBF is correct about copyright laws but he is wrong about people not being able to use portions of his videos for satire, parody and/or educational purposes.
Here is a link to his rant: Timbergiantbigfoot Adressing The "Situation"
Video is the copyright of the copyright holder(s). Used for discussion purposes only.
Fair Use Law - U.S.
"One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to
reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or
phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in
sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code).
One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.”
The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of
court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of
the copyright law.
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the
reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining
whether or not a particular use is fair."
Because Jim's videos are hosted by a company based in the United States, U.S. law would apply.

I was curious, so I decided to check the Canadian Trademark and Copyright database. My search came back with zero results. Either I'm using the wrong search terms, or TGBF has not registered his logo and name.
I was also curious what the costs would be for a copyright and trademark. Timbergiant must have a great budget for his YouTube channel.
The total cost is almost $500 in Canadian funds, plus tax for the Basic package. That's a lot of money to spend on a YouTube channel and I would certainly have to justify the cost if I was do this myself.
This is the Bigfoot world folks. If people do not want their videos, photos or other evidence to be scrutinized, then perhaps this is the wrong field for some people.
Good, honest researchers for the most part, embrace criticism and questioning.
I wonder why Timbergiant seems so agitated that his video is under the microscope. He was okay with Rex Dutton breaking down his videos but, the outcome was always positive.
I question everything and I encourage you to do the same.
