Bigfoot Video Shows Creature Burying A Drug-Trafficking Surveillance Camera?

Bigfoot hunters and enthusiasts burned up the internet recently with the uploading of a video of the legendary creature supposedly taking a National Park surveillance camera and attempting to bury it. The Bigfoot video has caused quite a stir, especially since the source of the footage claims to be a law enforcement officer.

The Sun reported last week that a YouTube video posted on the Sasquatch Chronicles channel was receiving a considerable amount of traffic since its uploading the last week of August. The video appears to have filmed a Bigfoot, that somewhat mythic man-like creature said to roam the woodlands of America (and, where it is known a Yeti, in the Himalayas and forests of Asia). Although brief, the footage picks up a hirsute beast dislodging a surveillance camera located inside the Sequoia National Forest in northern California, then attempting to cover it with foliage.

Wes Germer, who operates the website and the YouTube channel Sasquatch Chronicles, simply posts the testimony of an intermediary (who is apparently a law enforcement officer who was also once a game warden) with regard to the Bigfoot video footage. That worthy writes in part (the entire post can be found on the Bigfoot Hotspot Radio entry #246): “I received this video from a collage [sic] of mine. He was assigned to a federal task force working gorilla [sic] grown Marijuana. This group would go into remote areas of Northern California and set trail cams in an attempt to catch the growers on film.. This particular trail cam was 27 miles back in the Sequoia National Forest, not accessible by vehicles only ATV then foot. He retrieved the trail cam and found the attached video.”

The intermediary noted that his colleague had been afraid to pursue the imagery caught on camera, afraid of “repercussions” within the task force. He had been directed to the intermediary, who was an outspoken proponent of the existence of Bigfoot, and gave him the video. He then passed it on to Germer.

Germer added in the post that he had spoken with the law enforcement officer (whose name was not disclosed), who acknowledged that the surveillance camera had been set up in a remote location to catch drug traffickers in the act. Although he would openly state that the image in the video was a Bigfoot, he did tell Germer that, in his experience as a game warden, “it is not a bear.”

He told Wes Germer, “This thing ripped the trail cam off of the tree and started putting leaves over it.”

The original video, which was posted August 23, has been viewed almost 350,000 times to date.

The Bigfoot video has sparked lively debate between believers and those who are inclined to see the video as just another hoax. Several commenters acknowledge that the creature might be a bear, despite the insistence of the law enforcement officer that it was not.

Besides the true believers, there are some who seem willing to give the Bigfoot video benefit of the doubt. User m dane wrote: “i will say this, either this is an excellent fake, or that was a real bigfoot. did anyone notice the toenails? they were very very long. not something many costume designers would think of such a thing and a rented suit would not have such a detail. watch it in slow motion. very interesting. good job officer.”

But there are those who are not convinced at all. Off The Line wrote: “Looks like the same kind of fake fur I have on my werewolf costume.”

One commenter pointedly called the video a hoax, detailing the aspects that (in their opinion) made it so. John Razimus wrote: “Hoax Hunter here, garbage hoax, costume, bad camera angle, anonymous source which will remain anonymous until the day they die, red flags galore, a bad hoax at that, gullible for any lemming to believe this pile of horse dung. I can smell the putrid stench of the hoax from thousands of miles away. Bigfoot is fake (or a demonic entity), but this is a garbage hoax. Case Closed.”

And over at CNET, Amanda Kooser flat-out refused to suspend her disbelief, saying it all in the title of her article: “This might be the worst ‘Bigfoot’ sighting video of all time”.

The Sequoia National Park video surfaced just weeks after a Bigfoot video clip went viral that purportedly depicted, as recounted by the Inquisitr, a sandy-haired Sasquatch-like creature trudging along a barren path in a desert in Portugal. The video was quickly debunked as CGI (computer-generated imaging) hoax, not to mention several people pointing out that there is no desert in Portugal.

More recently, as also reported by the Inquisitr, a Bigfoot enthusiast in Wales claimed to have captured to video a dark, shadowy man-like image in the woods on a mountain near Cardiff. With several people maintaining that the image was indeed the legendary creature, the footage is now being touted as the first ever Bigfoot video shot in the United Kingdom.
