Hi.
I saw this:

Actually, I had wanted to post about a different one, but this'll do and the same explanation, or something similar (branches, etc. in front of stump/trunk perhaps?). In the video I had seen, the "Bigfoot" looked to me like some kind of tree or tree stump or something that just happens to "look" suggestive ("pareidolia"). Same goes with this video. Though perhaps here, a slightly modified explanation might be needed: tree trunk/stump with branches in front that are lit the right way. Or it could even be just a shaded area with stuff in front of it. Nevertheless, that's pretty damning if I can turn up an unrelated video and have the same explanation, or one much like it, apply to it. Now, if this guy's really honestly thinking it's a Bigfoot, then how do we know that perhaps in all those cases where all we have is an anecdote and no video, that they didn't see something similar? After all, he's saying it's a Bigfoot, and if you stripped away the video, you'd have another Bigfoot story just like all the rest out there. Yet it would have been a tree! (or trees) So what's stopping the rest from being similarly misidentified mundane phenomena? Nothing!
It is often asked, "with all the cameras available, why don't we see pictures of Bigfoot?" Well, here it is. We may indeed be seeing pictures of the phenomenon, which is actually revealing it for what it is: "funny"-looking trees, stumps, lighting tricks, and other mundane phenomena with unusual expressions.
We are seeing the creation of a Bigfoot story in progress, of its genesis, of exactly what happens when these stories are made.
I suspect this argument can be expanded to cover not just Bigfoot, but "Alien UFOs", ghosts, Loch Ness monsters, and so forth.
With that said and done, I wonder: have any of you seen anything you might think someone could think was a Bigfoot? I have also heard explanations such as hallucination. Have you hallucinated a Bigfoot before?
And this might explain why Bigfoot is a "forest creature"... because forests have a lot of stuff that can sometimes give a pareidolic(?) suggestion of a creature!!!!
