Bigfoot captured in wild viral video by terrified hiker: ‘Scariest moment of my life’

October 10, 2024

It was only a matter of time before Bigfoot became a TikTok star. A content creator allegedlyhas captured the furry beast on video in what could be the clearest footage of the much-debated, mythical beast to date, reports the New York Post.

The video boasts more than 1.2 million views on TikTok.

“I really think I caught a f–king Bigfoot on camera,” exclaimed Emmanuel Alfaro (@E_ManAlfaro) in the caption to the brief clip, which was shot in the Parallel Forest in Lawton, Oklahoma.

While no one thought Sasquatch finally had been found, it turns out the sighting was all part of an ad campaign for the Bigfoot Head Shop in Lawton.

However, the videographer wrote that he’d been “doing some sightseeing and enjoying the day” when he “saw something in the distance.” That’s when the hiker allegedly stumbled upon the podiatrically-endowed primate—which he described as the “scariest moment of my life.”

The ten-second footage shows the tufty orange creature chilling against a tree and sniffing some flowers like the start of a Jack Link’s beef jerky commercial.

Unlike in the ads, however, the videographer doesn’t start “messing with Sasquatch.” In fact, at the end of the footage, the ginger shaggamuffin looks up, causing his gawker to exclaim, “Oh, s–t!”

Among the TikTok commenters who had a hard time believing that the videographer had clapped eyes on Bigfoot were the following:

“It’s nice to see real footage of a real Bigfoot,” wrote one troll in jest. “I completely believe this is real. Thank you for sharing this.”

“Where can I purchase one of these costumes?” scoffed another.

“I don’t believe it’s a costume,” replied the original TikTok poster, standing his ground.

Meanwhile, one jokester quipped, “It can’t be him, the REAL Bigfoot is blurry, haven’t yall seen the pics,” to which the videographer responded, “That’s why I had to capture him myself when I saw him, but you can see I was terrified getting this footage.”
