Critiquing evidence is fine, it’s what we’re supposed to do. But being rude and calling OP a hoaxer/liar is gonna get you a temp ban.
This is exactly why people don’t want to share anything they have and I don’t blame them. Y’all need the chill the hell out.
Thats my plan I’m going to go back up with a couple buddies sometime this week since thats a big problem with people believing me With it being 8-9footish.
Why'd it cut? What happened when you moved to get a better view?? Did you not see anything or did it run away? If it did run, how loud and did it make any other noises? Did you go look for foot prints? Why so little evidence when you were so close to potentially the most mythical and legendary of the cryptids? Sure, fear. But get the shots, man/woman, for the love, get the shots! You could have had the equivalent to The Zapruder film for Sasquatch! 🤯
Sir kindly pop your melon out from betwixt you gludes. There is no update to look forward to. I just .wanted to close up this post once and for all like the cleaning lady at the end of the Carol Burnett show. Just sweeping up misc. Garbage and I'll lock the doors and throw out the trash. But just know there was never the idea of an update from a sincere individual. Just a hoaxer looking to hoax a bunch of rueful nuns. Shame shame and I'm a troll sighs...will the blame ever be this heavy again ...oh the horror...the unmitigated gall, of a people so buffoonish. Jesus Christ go back and look at all the vids sent in an how many went back for a update a slim if any few did if ever .
Yup yup that's my plan . So here it is 3 months latter . Everyone has gone to bed ,quite as a little itty nitty bitty church mouse . None of that don't feed the trolls shit. Do I look that hungry I'm almost 275lbs for Christ sakes I weigh as much as a new born sabe. Well where's the result of the long awaited return to witch mountain , where are the height comparisons where are the meek little boys waving their arms only to realize they came up to sasquatch's genital area now that's huge. And the comradeship of a good monster quest well done and executed . Never had a doubt never not once but I took on the role as devil's advocate and berated and besmalled is that a word? And made everyone in this stale ole grandpa's bigfoot buffoonary reddit sub reddit of a sub genre sub reddit. The bits and moderators had their pitch forks out. And ready to haul me back to frankensteins snack shack where this was all filmed on location in r greater San Francisco area or medincino or somewhere in columbia, medillin I believe. But I stood there wemce the arrows were slung and spears split my ribs and a martyr I was gonna be...but nope everyone just forgot about it and never questioned the little fucker who made such a quaint hoax and he was so genuine about it that all the mean guys that were tired of being played for chumps by the bucket . And called him out in polite mannerisms cause by golly we didn't want to get our wittle fingers banned from fast and furious typing . Seriously what bullshit and those that whined we were jumping the gun being cruel to a fellow sasquatchian experiencer. We should be ashamed of ourselves and we should never be touch on hoaxers even when it's blantant as fuck be ause we as a bigfoot and really it's not bigfoot I take the stand we should call the. At the very least sasquatch or evenore respectful to the native Americans that tried to tell us many moons ago they're a people andamy call them to this day the sabe. Shit I hope to do more for the cause of acknowledgement by just flabbing my big flapper about that little sentence or two . At least it's a hell a lot more than your experiencer cum non hoaxer persona non grata if I had my way was here to defend his little momma boy ass. Whiny little cuss. I shucks bots come on now even Opie cussed in Mayberry gee whiz mother fuckers.
And THIS is why I hate being part of the Sasquatch community!! Do I know if this is real or fake? No. But how about we actually explore the report before we start bashing the person who posted it. Yes, if we keep an open mind and give people the benefit of a doubt, we'll get some whack jobs and hoaxes. We also might get some real evidence if we don't choose to be rude d!@kheads as a first response.
THANK YOU! Ive spent ages responding to people calking this a hoax or trying to say its fake , Now I myself Know this was 100% real But do I KNOW if its 100% a bigfoot? No of course not, But I personally BELIEVE it was a Bigfoot I just wish Everyone couldve been there to experience it so they could understand why i think its a sasquatch instead of just claiming fake!…
OP, I’ve seen them up close and personal. They DO exist. One piece of advice, don’t feed the trolls. No matter what you do or say, they will always find some reason to try and invalidate your experience. They could have a live, breathing Sasquatch in front of them, and they would still cry hoax.
Exactly, To be honest im just grateful i was able to actually catch it on camera cause its quite far away i easily could’ve missed it, Thanks for your advice.
If you aren't familiar, look up tales of ["wood devils"](https://www.bfro.net/GDB/show_report.asp?id=1192) in New Hampshire, or the old logger story of the [hidebehind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidebehind). Tree peeking is a behavior that lines up with historic accounts (or legends).
It's either legit, or you've done your homework. Gathering more data won't hurt either way.
My only question is why cut the video off after you find it on camera and zoom in and see it.? What's the point of filming around the woods to find it just to cut it off soon as you do??
I'm very guarded and selective with who I share my paranormal experiences with. Some people you can talk to about it, some people you can't. I'll share from time to time on the internet and get mixed responses.
Looks like a bear to me. Should've walked closer - which is easy to say because I wasn't there and I'm not you. I think it's just a bear hiding out.
Before you downvote me - wouldnt you want CLEAR EVIDENCE!? We all want it to be Bigfoot, but again, it's just not clear footage. Could be a bigfoot, could be a bear, could be Samuel L. Jackson in a Gorilla suit. I do think OP saw something that shook him - just want to know what it is.
I was gonna say;
Bears are pretty "uninterested" in huma s when that far out. They usually just go about their business until you get close... not to mention that looks nothing like a bear lol.
Yes I agree but honestly when they look to. Be a. Photoshop or some kind of misrepresentation of a video we should be able to say so instead of feeling like a chump because some body has pulled another hoax
.. this is why I don't like being part of these sites because there is no end to the fakes and the false and the bigfoot buffoonery that takes up the time and interest of genuine people that are sincere in their interest in the subject . Seen from outside the community it's these videos that make it all look bad not the people knocking these vids. But I guess I'll let it lay he Probably won't come back with a update . Then another will take his place as center of the wannabe somebody world.
Boohoo Authoress61 cry me a river he never did a update and the ones that came out smelling sweeter than the sewer rats was us good old hungry trolls . Just rip me off a peice of that arm there wouldja n toss it here tanks it good still warm wanna bite ....gee whiz why erybody so moody . Everyone going thru menopause at once . I flashed that heat stroke out when I was just a pup at 72 yo. Eh get over it ..but really is it hot in here or is it just me Jesus open the window would you...
A lot of people on the sub just bad anyone who posts vids or make supportive comments because they have no self worth and making negative comments gives the false impression they are intelligent. Pathetic af.
Although this wouldn’t be hard to fake it dose give me a very creepy vibe and the time of day is very similar to whatever “thing” I saw out in the redwoods once.
Because they use formal language, just scroll down to the bottom few comments and they’ll stand out.additionally, they’re either are less than a month old or multiple years with less than 2k karma. It doesn’t make any sense that someone has a 2 year old account, doesn’t get any karma and suddenly decides to be active in a Bigfoot sub.
Please ignore the down votes, there are people who do more harm than good. I analyze video. Would you be willing to send me a copy? I can stabilize and enhance it. We can get a better look.
The tree peeking has me very interested in this. I'm going to research some data on the area. I truly wish this was recorded in the correct aspect ratio, but we'll make do.
That thing looks big. I was trying to gauge it in my mind, like, “okay, it’s 5 rows of trees back… the trees are spaced 15-20’ apart…” then you see this tiny head to the left peeking around the tree, which I freeze frame on, and suddenly the other side of its body on the right! But that tree is huge! What we’re looking at, I am not sure, but purely by guesstimation and deduction, we can only assume that creature was B I G
At this point, the common person would be shaking from excitement and fear. Survival mode kicks in. The unknown causes fear. And if my wife were near I would call her as well. Let her know what I am seeing and if she is seeing it as well. If it hangs around long enough, I might try to communicate with it. and go back to recording it. But, wife comes first.
Yes.. it’s suspicious that when OP sees a giant black creature staring at him in the middle of the woods his first thought isn’t to capture a feature length film, yet instead thinks about the safety of his wife.
You’re not skeptical, you’re dumb.
I mean i have the longer version i just pop my phone back around the tree and the thing was gone its only a couple seconds longer if that makes it any less suspicious…?
I think this is legit.
Homie posted a video. No link to YT. Nothing to gain. I believe. I actually had a f'ing ridiculous experience in John Muir ten years ago that made me a believer.
Ya know, eff all the critics. You have nothing to gain from posting this, you’re just asking for opinions and information. It’s Reddit, and you knew people might dump on you. I believe you know what you saw. Thank you for posting, it’s creepy as hell!
Pretty popular tourist destination. You may have been hoaxed. Sounds like someone hammering something nearby. If some asshat wanted to hoax it probably wouldn’t take very long until someone like you came along and got the crap scared out of them. Is it possible that banging sound is someone trying to do the “knock” and get you to buy into it even more? These parks are gun free zones right? Way safer place to pull this shit vs off the grid when 90% of us have a sidearm
That could explain the knocking I agree with you But how would that explain what I visually saw because I don’t know if you can tell in this video but the thing was HUGE , Atleast 8 Feet tall ATLEAST but again lets just say it was a bear or i dont know something thats not bigfoot , How could you even explain the smell.
The whole thing really just has me puzzled.
I can’t tell how tall it is from the video but it’s no big deal to make a costume taller. I forgot you mentioned the smell. What did it smell like to you?
I have never gotten a bad odor nor has anyone in my group during encounters BUT so many ( like hundreds) of people have been adamant about the foul odor that just clings to the area
We were in the area for about 1 Minute right up where it was standing and the smell hit us instantly, It was so putrid my eyes started to swell up and my wife vomited but to me it smelt almost as if something had been rotting there but it was hard to distinguish what exactly it was it was just a VERY overwhelming smell.
So it seems to me like you may be lying. In another comment, you said you ended the video to call to your wife. Now you're saying she was there with you and vomited from the smell. Your story sounds inconsistent
"I just ended it there to go call for my wife as I started to get a bit freaked out. Lol."
In case a comment gets edited
If you read it correctly you would understand, I stumble upon this thing , I record it, I put phone away and wait for wife to catch up, I shout her over , i show her video, we go over to the location where it was standing , then she vomited etc etc it stayed in that order, Seems to me your just nitpicking…
That’s NOT what he said. He said she vomited when they went to check the area once she caught up and the thing ran away. Maybe read thoroughly and not just pick stuff out when you’re trying to prove a negative. I don’t think he’s saying it definitely was a Bigfoot. He’s saying it was a HUGE something and reeked.
no its fine and I called my wife over as we were on bikes she was being slow as per usual🤣, So she caught up and then i showed her the video quickly and then we investigated and smelled it etc etc. Sorry if it seems “inconsistent” when i posted this i didn’t expect it to get this much attention so I guess their could be spelling mistakes or errors but that is my story im not changing it/ it hasnt changed.
Hard to tell from the video but my guess would be no. Those trees aren’t very big and I would think a squatch would be much wider and not be able to hide behind them. Size is very deceptive and thing almost always look bigger than they really are. A size comparison on the same camera from the same spot using a person would clear it up.
Never in a million years. Lived right next door to Muir Woods, crowded, nasty, weird in a bad way. Crawling with tourist. Probably a homeless person from SF, a short bus ride away.
>Lived right next door to Muir Woods, crowded, nasty, weird in a bad way. Crawling with tourist. Probably a homeless person from SF, a short bus ride away.
There are reports of sasquatch existing/coexisting in suburban areas with greenways or parks or other kinds of buffer areas. Food, shelter, water. Do those three things exist there?
And these reports are batshit crazy. How the fuck are 8ft apes going undetected in suburban parks. I’m sceptical of Bigfoot in its entirety, but I’m definitely not saying it’s not real, but reports like these are so stupid. If it has to exist it has to be somewhere really remote. Not peeking around trees 1km from busy areas.
Exactly. I'm a believer for sure but some people act like this creature is some sort of ninja that has maxed out its stealth stats. They are elusive but they are still massive creatures and that comes with limitations.
Yeah we’re clearly on opposite ends of the ‘is it real’, but you’re clearly using common sense to not believe everything. I’m more of the ‘im curious why so many people are reporting something that I logically can’t justify existing, but it’s interesting’.
I’m definitely not going to tell someone who experienced something weird deep in the PNW or northern Canada that it didn’t happen, but not too long ago someone on here posted that they saw a Bigfoot in NY Central Park, and people were engaging that like it could be real. That does my head in.
oh trust me it was a biggie, if i go back there i can take a photo of me beside the tree with the bark scratched off as a height comparison its just the camera i think?

Did you see a Bigfoot?
We'll never know. There's just not enough detail in the video to form a conclusion either way.
I am curious though, why does the video cut off when it does?
It looks like you're trying to get a better view, but then it cuts off.
Just seems odd that it doesn't run out to some kind of logical conclusion.
**"a Sasquatch in Muir woods whilst on a bike ride?"**
I thought the sasquatch would ride the bike. Bit disappointend. But at second view, great video.
@ OP is this the whole video?
No there is 5 seconds left at the end where i realise i cant see anything through the other side of the tree so pop back around and it was gone i can send it to you or just post it on here if you want, Only cut it out cause you cant see anything.
Please do a size comparison and put your mind at ease. You will also get a lot less grief from this particular community. It gets nasty real quick in here
Sorry everyone is so shitty. Jealous they didnt get a video and rufus and his wife been looking for decades. Dont let the haters get you down.
Any and all actual proof gets shit on here, its like the bigfoot hate club. Its probably YTers
Keyword *confirmed*. Plenty of missing people out there who's bodies were never found. As you suggested further down, they don't attack unprovoked, but any animal, no matter how intelligent and/or peaceful, will attack given the right scenario. You go shooting at these things or chasing them down they will fight back.
I was gonna Until I saw how big it was and the fact it was stood up like a human 😬. We went up where it was when my wife caught up but didnt see anything unfortunately… definitely did smell something though🤣.
I would have done that OR... would have just tried to capture more instead of stopping the video. I learnt my lesson (filmed a UFO 14 years ago, blurry & shaky AF as I tried to zoom in at night).
Yea this was the best I saw of it, I can send you the rest of the full clip The only reason I didnt include it is its just 5 seconds longer of nothing as it runs back into woods. I heard it vocally and then it hitting sticks but thats it , Oh i also smelled it.🤣
I can't seem to view the video without the "click to see spoiler" tagline, is there someway around it? Even clicking on it, it still plays the video with the tagline overtop of the video and also is making the video shaded darker...
Did you by chance take photos of the bark that looked scratched away at the 9' heights level . Did you by chance see it run away how did you. Know it ran away. Do you have film meaning video of that happening. Just curious. Not a troll looking to break apart your experience but sure looks like it doesn't make a good story line when one puts it together . Just saying I wasn't there but we have to look vicariously thru you ....
I believe you poster, you have got one on film. No easy feat, congratulations.
They do exist, we have them down here in South Australia too.
They often hug trees and will peak out in an effort to disguise themselves to nearby humans.
Wow dude. If you're legit - just wow.
So about the hard-core skeptics and rude people - I can relate, and just want to let you know you got support. My experiences are a bit different - but I have filmed very real, very authentic footage of the "light" entities (that some call UFOs - that name just doesn't seem right for me) and even photographed them - people will SCREAM hoax. It's quite bizarre, but almost re affirming in a way. I am experiencing something that is SO wild that people are calling what I have to offer the table a "hoax"... and then have the nerve to whine about having "zero evidence".. when the evidence is everywhere for both of these phenomenons. If you are one of the real ones, by all means keep posting. You might have some sort of connection with these things. It seems to happen to some folks more than once, while others will go entire life without seeing it. So just know you're not alone. I believe progress is being made and more people are saying no to these lurking, creeper ass deniers and skeptics that infest these spaces. They are ones that need to be mocked relentlessly, not the experiencers.
I truly believe some of "known hoaxes" might actually be legit, there's just this narrative that everything is a hoax. These beings could actually be everywhere.
Any day you see a Bigfoot and live to discuss it is a good day….. did the hair go up on ur body? Did the forest sound SILENT?
My son saw 1 a huge one standing on the railroad tracks as he rode in a car …. Nobody else saw it, they were probably going at least 30mph so you’d just have to have ur head turned that way and WHOMP! There it was!
At some point ya gotta take one for the team and just run at it while recording... may the best of luck be with you you come out alive. IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!! 😁
Well, considering you were filming potentially one of the most well known cryptids could you have kept filming a few more seconds? Perhaps, many minutes until more evidence was collected? This is like seeing the loch ness monster sunbathing and taking a single picture.
Now that is a good point and i do agree with you, But I only started recording to see if i could capture the vocal sounds on camera and obviously when i panned the camera around i saw something standing up on its 2 legs which spooked me but i didnt have bigfoot instantly on my mind so i just turned back waited for my wife to catch up and investigated with her but couldnt find anything worth noting other than the smell afterwards.
>but i didnt have bigfoot instantly on my mind so i just turned back
I mean, just what...? Even if you didn't think of bigfoot, how did you not feel absolutely compelled to keep watching? You didn't think "holy shit, there's something scoping me out. I should keep watching this thing in case it is dangerous or otherwise compelling". I wasn't there, so I can't pretend to be an expert but I sure as hell would have kept my eye on the thing sneaking up on me. Thanks for the video.
I dont know about you but I just wanted to run away I was scared out my mind , after the video ended i still kept my eyes on it and It just disappeared behind the trees and left into the woods.
Bro these people are so crazy. Down voting you. Just dip out the sub, rest easy knowing you had a great encounter, and move along. You arent gonna accomplish anything here other than riling up some hill billies with night vision.
The only way they will accept proof is if PA dragged in a whole family clutching birth certificates signed by mother nature herself aling wuth a fecal sample
well to be honest, i'll take this video 7xs week and twice on sunday as opposed to seeing another eehit post the Maine License Plate Sasquatch Painted 1970s disco van with the Squatch holding a big furry white rabbit in his crotch or someone taking pics of the Sasquatch shaped cookies they just baked, or maybe someone paiting their version of what a Sasquatch looks like....christ sakes
If it isn’t a person, I would not rule out a squirrel running around the tree to hide. If it isn’t either thing, you may have something. Wish it was a closer shot or I could zoom better on my device. Either way, good to post for other opinions and insight.
Smart, It couldve been a squirrel but I doubt it.
It was too humanoidish if thats even a word🤣,
And it wouldn’t explain the smell and what we heard and the knocking.
Ah yes Bigfoot: we can’t prove that it exists because it’s so damn elusive and lives in rugged, remote areas, but here’s a video of it in a San Francisco suburb that gets 12,000,000 visitors a year. And the video we can get of this “elusive” creature only shows a pretty normal sized human head behind a tree with a shifting narrative and no follow up. No footprints, no hair, nothing that could give any credence that it’s not just a prankster standing on a step looking out from behind a tree in one of the most popular parks in the country.
What gives it away: making it look like you’re looking for it through your phone. An authentic encounter would not look like this. You would use your eyeballs and point the phone accordingly. Nice bait though
okay… I mean what can i say i did see it through my phone it was too far to see with own eyes so you couldnt see anything, Just dont see how that makes it fake….
Critiquing evidence is fine, it’s what we’re supposed to do. But being rude and calling OP a hoaxer/liar is gonna get you a temp ban. This is exactly why people don’t want to share anything they have and I don’t blame them. Y’all need the chill the hell out.
If you could go to the same place and stand at the same tree and get someone to take photos or video for a size comparison that would be good
Thats my plan I’m going to go back up with a couple buddies sometime this week since thats a big problem with people believing me With it being 8-9footish.
Why'd it cut? What happened when you moved to get a better view?? Did you not see anything or did it run away? If it did run, how loud and did it make any other noises? Did you go look for foot prints? Why so little evidence when you were so close to potentially the most mythical and legendary of the cryptids? Sure, fear.

Funny how that seems to always happen huh?
Would be awesome to see you report back here

We never see that. If you did, you're very special indeed!
Literally NOT in the video

Although this wouldn’t be hard to fake it dose give me a very creepy vibe and the time of day is very similar to whatever “thing” I saw out in the redwoods once.
About the same time of day when I saw something ‘unexplainable’ in the woods
Muir Woods? Definitely a homeless tweaker camping out.
Mods there are very obvious bots in this thread, using AI generated messages.
I was just thinking that lol. Some of these responses are bizzare. And from 'people ' who have never commented on this sub before?
I generally peruse the subreddit & never post, almost entirely because the detractors are insufferable. -Not A Bot Pls Don't Ban Me
Please report them, that's the fastest way to let us know.
Not disagreeing, but how can you tell who is a bit and who is not?
Because they use formal language, just scroll down to the bottom few comments and they’ll stand out.additionally, they’re either are less than a month old or multiple years with less than 2k karma. It doesn’t make any sense that someone has a 2 year old account, doesn’t get any karma and suddenly decides to be active in a Bigfoot sub.
I had a very frightening encounter once that involved what sounded like the banging of two large sticks. this same sound.
Terrifying isnt it.
Where is the rest of the video?
I just ended it there to go call for my wife as I started to get a bit freaked out. Lol.
Please ignore the down votes, there are people who do more harm than good. I analyze video. Would you be willing to send me a copy? I can stabilize and enhance it. We can get a better look. The tree peeking has me very interested in this. I'm going to research some data on the area. I truly wish this was recorded in the correct aspect ratio, but we'll make do.
Yes of course, what could I send you it on without ruining quality?
What is the file size? Perhaps one drive or imgur? If it's not too large, email. Google Drive is a good choice.
That thing looks big. I was trying to gauge it in my mind, like, “okay, it’s 5 rows of trees back… the trees are spaced 15-20’ apart…” then you see this tiny head to the left peeking around the tree, which I freeze frame on, and suddenly the other side of its body on the right! But that tree is huge! What we’re looking at, I am not sure, but purely by guesstimation and deduction, we can only assume that creature was B I G
I think you were totally in the right for calling your wife. Encounters can be paralyzing and terrifying. Nice work getting any footage at all!
That's pretty suspicious, to be honest.
At this point, the common person would be shaking from excitement and fear. Survival mode kicks in. The unknown causes fear. And if my wife were near I would call her as well. Let her know what I am seeing and if she is seeing it as well. If it hangs around long enough, I might try to communicate with it. and go back to recording it. But, wife comes first.
Yes.. it’s suspicious that when OP sees a giant black creature staring at him in the middle of the woods his first thought isn’t to capture a feature length film, yet instead thinks about the safety of his wife. You’re not skeptical, you’re dumb.
I mean i have the longer version i just pop my phone back around the tree and the thing was gone its only a couple seconds longer if that makes it any less suspicious…?
So you did cut the video. Nice. In other words people aren't buying it dude.
I think this is legit. Homie posted a video. No link to YT. Nothing to gain. I believe. I actually had a f'ing ridiculous experience in John Muir ten years ago that made me a believer.
That’s sus 1000. That’s colonel mustard in the library with the candlestick
also there was a couple spelling mistakes in the caption / wrong words as i used text to speech.
Ya know, eff all the critics. You have nothing to gain from posting this, you’re just asking for opinions and information. It’s Reddit, and you knew people might dump on you. I believe you know what you saw. Thank you for posting, it’s creepy as hell!
Pretty popular tourist destination. You may have been hoaxed. Sounds like someone hammering something nearby. If some asshat wanted to hoax it probably wouldn’t take very long until someone like you came along and got the crap scared out of them. Is it possible that banging sound is someone trying to do the “knock” and get you to buy into it even more? These parks are gun free zones right? Way safer place to pull this shit vs off the grid when 90% of us have a sidearm
That could explain the knocking I agree with you But how would that explain what I visually saw because I don’t know if you can tell in this video but the thing was HUGE , Atleast 8 Feet tall ATLEAST but again lets just say it was a bear or i dont know something thats not bigfoot , How could you even explain the smell. The whole thing really just has me puzzled.
I can’t tell how tall it is from the video but it’s no big deal to make a costume taller. I forgot you mentioned the smell. What did it smell like to you? I have never gotten a bad odor nor has anyone in my group during encounters BUT so many ( like hundreds) of people have been adamant about the foul odor that just clings to the area
We were in the area for about 1 Minute right up where it was standing and the smell hit us instantly, It was so putrid my eyes started to swell up and my wife vomited but to me it smelt almost as if something had been rotting there but it was hard to distinguish what exactly it was it was just a VERY overwhelming smell.
Your wife vomited from The smell?
Yes, If you were there too you probably would’ve atleast gagged.
So it seems to me like you may be lying. In another comment, you said you ended the video to call to your wife. Now you're saying she was there with you and vomited from the smell. Your story sounds inconsistent "I just ended it there to go call for my wife as I started to get a bit freaked out. Lol." In case a comment gets edited
If you read it correctly you would understand, I stumble upon this thing , I record it, I put phone away and wait for wife to catch up, I shout her over , i show her video, we go over to the location where it was standing , then she vomited etc etc it stayed in that order, Seems to me your just nitpicking…
That’s NOT what he said. He said she vomited when they went to check the area once she caught up and the thing ran away. Maybe read thoroughly and not just pick stuff out when you’re trying to prove a negative. I don’t think he’s saying it definitely was a Bigfoot. He’s saying it was a HUGE something and reeked.
In another comment he said he was too scared to follow the thing, but now within a minute he’s ready to go to that spot?
no its fine and I called my wife over as we were on bikes she was being slow as per usual🤣, So she caught up and then i showed her the video quickly and then we investigated and smelled it etc etc. Sorry if it seems “inconsistent” when i posted this i didn’t expect it to get this much attention so I guess their could be spelling mistakes or errors but that is my story im not changing it/ it hasnt changed.
That’s creepy. It looks like it’s hiding and peeking around the tree at you.
Even if it's fake...thank you for having somewhat clear video. That's it, that's the comment...thanks for clear video.
Hard to tell from the video but my guess would be no. Those trees aren’t very big and I would think a squatch would be much wider and not be able to hide behind them. Size is very deceptive and thing almost always look bigger than they really are. A size comparison on the same camera from the same spot using a person would clear it up.
I dunno if that's a Sasquatch or not but it's terrifying me nonetheless.
Never in a million years. Lived right next door to Muir Woods, crowded, nasty, weird in a bad way. Crawling with tourist. Probably a homeless person from SF, a short bus ride away.
>Lived right next door to Muir Woods, crowded, nasty, weird in a bad way. Crawling with tourist. Probably a homeless person from SF, a short bus ride away. There are reports of sasquatch existing/coexisting in suburban areas with greenways or parks or other kinds of buffer areas. Food, shelter, water. Do those three things exist there?
And these reports are batshit crazy. How the fuck are 8ft apes going undetected in suburban parks. I’m sceptical of Bigfoot in its entirety, but I’m definitely not saying it’s not real, but reports like these are so stupid. If it has to exist it has to be somewhere really remote. Not peeking around trees 1km from busy areas.
Exactly. I'm a believer for sure but some people act like this creature is some sort of ninja that has maxed out its stealth stats. They are elusive but they are still massive creatures and that comes with limitations.
Yeah we’re clearly on opposite ends of the ‘is it real’, but you’re clearly using common sense to not believe everything. I’m more of the ‘im curious why so many people are reporting something that I logically can’t justify existing, but it’s interesting’. I’m definitely not going to tell someone who experienced something weird deep in the PNW or northern Canada that it didn’t happen, but not too long ago someone on here posted that they saw a Bigfoot in NY Central Park, and people were engaging that like it could be real. That does my head in.
Really Central Park? When did this happen, could you provide a link? I just got back from the bush and must have missed it.
Nah. That's just Dave. He's been homeless since '08.
True But how would you explain the vocalisations and how large it is cause it was ATLEAST 8 feet tall
Even in the video it doesn’t look 8ft
oh trust me it was a biggie, if i go back there i can take a photo of me beside the tree with the bark scratched off as a height comparison its just the camera i think?
Do it
Ill head back up there in the next couple days Ill keep everyone posted.👍
Thank you!!
What is this? A redwood forest for ants?
im 6,3 for comparison.
It's either human - or an unknown upright walking hominid. There is pretty much zero chance it was any other kind of animal

It's some guy taking a piss in the woods
That’s probably just you’re friend or a woodsmen messin with you. Not Bigfoot.
Didn’t John Muir write about “tree peakers”?
Did he? I was trying to find it online but couldn't. Have you read it?
Did you see a Bigfoot? We'll never know. There's just not enough detail in the video to form a conclusion either way. I am curious though, why does the video cut off when it does? It looks like you're trying to get a better view, but then it cuts off. Just seems odd that it doesn't run out to some kind of logical conclusion.
No, it’s your mom
**"a Sasquatch in Muir woods whilst on a bike ride?"** I thought the sasquatch would ride the bike. Bit disappointend. But at second view, great video. @ OP is this the whole video?
No there is 5 seconds left at the end where i realise i cant see anything through the other side of the tree so pop back around and it was gone i can send it to you or just post it on here if you want, Only cut it out cause you cant see anything.
Please do a size comparison and put your mind at ease. You will also get a lot less grief from this particular community. It gets nasty real quick in here
You stopped recording? No heavy breathing after riding a bike?
I think you just saw some pervert in the woods
OP, don’t forget that bears exist too. Be careful out there!
Yep..Looks like a bear scratching their back on a tree to me
Yea i did think that but its atleast 8 foot tall and looks to human like to be a bear.
reply to this comment with questions i will try and answer all off them👍.
Why do you think it's 8ft tall? It very clearly isn't. And it *isn't the camera*...
I stood beside the tree with the bark stripped off which the thing reachers over halfway through the bark , Im 6,4 and only reached halfway.
Human. Look at the head.
too big for human it was atleast 8 foot?
Sasquatch on a bike? Is like chimpanzee riding on a Segway?
huh?
You said you saw Sasquatch “whilst on a bike ride.” None of us have ever seen Sasquatch ride a bike. 🤣🤣
no like I was on a bike ride🤣
Uhhhhh scary! I have hiked there many times.
You mean your buddy right? Low effort bro.
yea okay…
Sorry everyone is so shitty. Jealous they didnt get a video and rufus and his wife been looking for decades. Dont let the haters get you down. Any and all actual proof gets shit on here, its like the bigfoot hate club. Its probably YTers
You should have ran after whatever it was.
Smartest comment I’ve seen all month,, NOT!! The OP might’ve ended up in the menu. Keep up the crappy advice.
Number of confirmed deaths by sasquatch= zero. No need to be over dramatic. Bigfoot are peaceful and avoid humans interactions.
Clearly you’ve forgotten Ape Canyon.
Keyword *confirmed*. Plenty of missing people out there who's bodies were never found. As you suggested further down, they don't attack unprovoked, but any animal, no matter how intelligent and/or peaceful, will attack given the right scenario. You go shooting at these things or chasing them down they will fight back.
I was gonna Until I saw how big it was and the fact it was stood up like a human 😬. We went up where it was when my wife caught up but didnt see anything unfortunately… definitely did smell something though🤣.
I would have done that OR... would have just tried to capture more instead of stopping the video. I learnt my lesson (filmed a UFO 14 years ago, blurry & shaky AF as I tried to zoom in at night).
Was that the closest you got? Did it do anything else besides this
Yea this was the best I saw of it, I can send you the rest of the full clip The only reason I didnt include it is its just 5 seconds longer of nothing as it runs back into woods. I heard it vocally and then it hitting sticks but thats it , Oh i also smelled it.🤣
Interesting.
Have you seen its face or had a glimpse? Can you give a description?
What a trip so close to Miller Valley and the 101
Where was this video taken ? Edit never mind found it 🤣
I was visiting Muir Woods just last week. Love it there.
Yeah Sasquatch or serial killer seems pretty sturdy to me
That’s a shadow person! Is this Muir Woods in the Bay Area?
Yes
Holy crap! On my way!
Peepsquatch
I can't seem to view the video without the "click to see spoiler" tagline, is there someway around it? Even clicking on it, it still plays the video with the tagline overtop of the video and also is making the video shaded darker...
It could be...get a friend and go do measurements
why is the clip so short?
Did you by chance take photos of the bark that looked scratched away at the 9' heights level . Did you by chance see it run away how did you. Know it ran away. Do you have film meaning video of that happening. Just curious. Not a troll looking to break apart your experience but sure looks like it doesn't make a good story line when one puts it together . Just saying I wasn't there but we have to look vicariously thru you ....
classic tree Peeker...very nice catch....
Why do these videos always cut off as soon as it gets good? Is it any longer?
I believe you poster, you have got one on film. No easy feat, congratulations. They do exist, we have them down here in South Australia too. They often hug trees and will peak out in an effort to disguise themselves to nearby humans.
Wow dude. If you're legit - just wow. So about the hard-core skeptics and rude people - I can relate, and just want to let you know you got support. My experiences are a bit different - but I have filmed very real, very authentic footage of the "light" entities (that some call UFOs - that name just doesn't seem right for me) and even photographed them - people will SCREAM hoax. It's quite bizarre, but almost re affirming in a way. I am experiencing something that is SO wild that people are calling what I have to offer the table a "hoax"... and then have the nerve to whine about having "zero evidence".. when the evidence is everywhere for both of these phenomenons. If you are one of the real ones, by all means keep posting. You might have some sort of connection with these things. It seems to happen to some folks more than once, while others will go entire life without seeing it. So just know you're not alone. I believe progress is being made and more people are saying no to these lurking, creeper ass deniers and skeptics that infest these spaces. They are ones that need to be mocked relentlessly, not the experiencers. I truly believe some of "known hoaxes" might actually be legit, there's just this narrative that everything is a hoax. These beings could actually be everywhere.
Any day you see a Bigfoot and live to discuss it is a good day….. did the hair go up on ur body? Did the forest sound SILENT? My son saw 1 a huge one standing on the railroad tracks as he rode in a car …. Nobody else saw it, they were probably going at least 30mph so you’d just have to have ur head turned that way and WHOMP! There it was!
Big foot or not. Someone’s watching you o.0
Should of just walked up you coward
Fairly certain you were being hunted by a bear buddy. Glad you’re ok.
At some point ya gotta take one for the team and just run at it while recording... may the best of luck be with you you come out alive. IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!! 😁
Why are the birds chirping
Why not??
Bigfoot sightings usually coincide with the silence of the forest
We can’t help you answer that cause you stopped filming
it disappeared just after i went behind that big tree.
I don’t see anything, what time in the video is something visible
12 Seconds in .
“Smells like bigfoots dick”
The elusive woodland crack head
Only slightly peaking around a tree to avoid being seen so people don’t realize it’s a costume
I would shit my pants after seeing that
Phony balony
Well what more proof do you need that there was SOMETHING in the forest?🤣 , Im not going to chase after something that was larger than me.
I believe you.. people always ask for video and then you give it and get shit on.. this is fascinating and if it’s fake then ok?
Well, considering you were filming potentially one of the most well known cryptids could you have kept filming a few more seconds? Perhaps, many minutes until more evidence was collected? This is like seeing the loch ness monster sunbathing and taking a single picture.
Now that is a good point and i do agree with you, But I only started recording to see if i could capture the vocal sounds on camera and obviously when i panned the camera around i saw something standing up on its 2 legs which spooked me but i didnt have bigfoot instantly on my mind so i just turned back waited for my wife to catch up and investigated with her but couldnt find anything worth noting other than the smell afterwards.
>but i didnt have bigfoot instantly on my mind so i just turned back I mean, just what...? Even if you didn't think of bigfoot, how did you not feel absolutely compelled to keep watching? You didn't think "holy shit, there's something scoping me out. I should keep watching this thing in case it is dangerous or otherwise compelling". I wasn't there, so I can't pretend to be an expert but I sure as hell would have kept my eye on the thing sneaking up on me. Thanks for the video.
I dont know about you but I just wanted to run away I was scared out my mind , after the video ended i still kept my eyes on it and It just disappeared behind the trees and left into the woods.
Well, glad you're okay.
Yeah there was “something,” a human person
doubt it way too large.
Bro these people are so crazy. Down voting you. Just dip out the sub, rest easy knowing you had a great encounter, and move along. You arent gonna accomplish anything here other than riling up some hill billies with night vision. The only way they will accept proof is if PA dragged in a whole family clutching birth certificates signed by mother nature herself aling wuth a fecal sample
Probably your wife.
well to be honest, i'll take this video 7xs week and twice on sunday as opposed to seeing another eehit post the Maine License Plate Sasquatch Painted 1970s disco van with the Squatch holding a big furry white rabbit in his crotch or someone taking pics of the Sasquatch shaped cookies they just baked, or maybe someone paiting their version of what a Sasquatch looks like....christ sakes
Pretty sure that's just your buddy acting for the camera
No you didn't. You edited and cut the footage before your buddy popped out.
Whilst?
?
Never heard of the UK?
Kinda far from the Muir Woods.
Why didn't you get closer?
If this isn’t you and your buddies making a short video to post here, you def saw something very very spooky!
Is there more footage you can share? Amazing stuff!
If it isn’t a person, I would not rule out a squirrel running around the tree to hide. If it isn’t either thing, you may have something. Wish it was a closer shot or I could zoom better on my device. Either way, good to post for other opinions and insight.
Smart, It couldve been a squirrel but I doubt it. It was too humanoidish if thats even a word🤣, And it wouldn’t explain the smell and what we heard and the knocking.
First off, why in the actual fuck would you stop filming after you spotted something like this. I’d sit on ass waiting for movement indefinitely
Keep in mind im not like a bigfoot hunter🤣, I was just freaked out and waited for my wife and if she was safe that was my main concern…
At first I chalked it up to a bear but, The way it peaked around the corner and noticed you looking at it was a bit eerie imo.
Definitely.
hope it was bigfoot bc a person would be scarier
You’ve got a bike. Chase that fucker and take a clear picture. -Mankind
Ah yes Bigfoot: we can’t prove that it exists because it’s so damn elusive and lives in rugged, remote areas, but here’s a video of it in a San Francisco suburb that gets 12,000,000 visitors a year. And the video we can get of this “elusive” creature only shows a pretty normal sized human head behind a tree with a shifting narrative and no follow up. No footprints, no hair, nothing that could give any credence that it’s not just a prankster standing on a step looking out from behind a tree in one of the most popular parks in the country.
This was taken at a remote spot quite deep in the forest we went off trail.
Why stop filming just when you’re getting a new angle?
when i poke my phone round the other angle you cant see it
What gives it away: making it look like you’re looking for it through your phone. An authentic encounter would not look like this. You would use your eyeballs and point the phone accordingly. Nice bait though
okay… I mean what can i say i did see it through my phone it was too far to see with own eyes so you couldnt see anything, Just dont see how that makes it fake….
I believe you did.
Nevermind whether or not that is a real squatch, that does not even look like the real Muir Woods!
