The hikers who captured the accompanying footage recently in Utah's Provo Canyon seemed to act appropriately: They bolted through the woods, with the camera still running, to get as far away from the creature as possible. "We ran straight to the car after that, leaving our tent and everything behind. It's probably all still up there," states Beard Card, the YouTube user who posted the video. This is one of the more realistic Bigfoot escapades in some time. Naturally, skeptics are analyzing the video in the hopes of finding an explanation. Yet even healthy cynics are pretty impressed with what they see. They note that the witnesses don't appear to be acting. If they were, the skeptics say, they'd likely be a lot more vocal, and fall into the overacting trap. (Watch this video for full breakdown.) They also didn't stick around to get a great shot, which also rings of a very natural reaction, but didn't help when it came to capturing a better image. Nevertheless, the shot of what clearly looks like the animal's big broad arms is extremely compelling, which is why Max Roth of Fox 13 caught up with Beard Card to talk about the incredible encounter. Card told Roth how they were standing there for a good chunk of time even before recording what they believed to be a bear at the time, while he was trying to get the camera to work. During their exchange, Card hit on their reaction. Here are a few excerpts. CARD: "But when it stood up and looked at us--and we assumed it was a bear up to that point--but, when it stood up and looked at us, it was this massive animal. We don't know what it was. I mean, none of us believe in Bigfoot, so. ...We've talked about it over and over again since Monday when it happened and all of us are positive that thing wasn't a bear." ROTH: "You're not a Bigfoot guy? CARD: "Nope...none of us have ever believed in that kind of thing." ROTH: "So what do you think it was?" CARD: "I don't know!...We don't know what it was...I don't know if Bigfoot exists or not but that was a huge animal." <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ss_Gm_N5C48" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I feel like I am ToyCen... :grin:
Could easily grab a couple buddies and have one dress up in a gorilla costume (the biggest guy). $$$$
-Youtube account made same day video posted, right before Halloween -Run away the second there is a more clear view -Don't yell/communicate while running away in fear Seems legit!
Too much technology nowadays not to find a big ass Gorilla looking beast in the woods. I also can't stand that finding Bigfoot show.
Lower elevation, young oak type stand. By most accounts, Bigfoot likes upper elevation old growth fir/mixed conifer. Also, I find it hard to believe Bigfoot quietly migrated from the NW across the Great Basin deserts to Utah and that Bigfoot would choose to live in a canyon just a few miles from freaking SLC and one that has a major highway, a bunch of roads, and Sundance ski area at the other end.
Didn't realize they were still looking for proof, I remember multiple sightings when I was a kid. This is the clearest picture I've ever seen of Bigfoot (spoilered for size) Spoiler
You know, for as hi def as that video was, it had the worst camera angle. Even it was real, I saw a shrub, some branches and Patrick Patterson wearing some new peak athletics out door training gear (likely some under armour compression shirt and pant knock offs)
Don't put it's hand in water while it's sleeping: <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/O4bxvzj1B-0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
