Phil Gambino and Paul Baracas announced in 1959 that they had recorded footage of a Bigfoot at Cobridge Creek. The two minutes of footage, which became known as "that Gambino film", showed a Bigfoot walking along a clearing and at one point eating what appeared to be a chicken drumstick or possibly even a filet-o-fish. Many Bigfoot supporters hold this film as the best evidence of the big hairy bastard's existence.
However, in 1992, following the deaths of Gambino and Baracas in a pedalo disaster, Steve Carp, a longtime friend of the pair, claimed that the footage was faked using a local teenager suffering from Down's Syndrome (that they had borrowed from a special school) dressed as Bigfoot. Gambino's wife, Sharon (or "Shaz" to her friends) refutes Carp's claims, though later married him.
