Lake Seydozero and the Kuiva
A sacred Sámi lake in the Lovozero massif, on whose sheer cliff a dark human figure nearly seventy metres tall stands out — the Kuiva. The Sámi took it for the shadow of a giant killed for attacking their land, and avoided fishing within sight of the rock. Geologists speak of lichen staining and wet stone in the fissures. Barchenko's expedition came here in 1922 looking for traces of Hyperborea and, by rumour, found something; the material was classified and the man himself shot in 1938.
Bluff Creek, Where the Patterson Film Was Shot
On 20 October 1967 Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin shot fifty-nine seconds of film here, showing a large hairy figure walking across a gravel bar and glancing back over its shoulder. That frame is the most recognised image of Bigfoot ever made, and the argument over it has not settled in half a century: some analyse the gait as impossible for a person, others look for the seams of a suit. The place itself is an ordinary creek in the remote forests of northern California, and people still come with cameras.
