A webcam trained on a nest of eagle chicks in the woods of Michigan also catches a glimpse of something else in the wild.
Bigfoot, that mysteriously unkempt and anti-social gentlemen of the woodlands, has again made an appearance on camera in his trademark blurry yet intriguing style.
This time the legendary cryptid has apparently been captured on the CarbonTV Eagle Cam in northern Michigan. The live webcam is trained on a bald eagle nest 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground near the Platte River State Fish Hatchery.
As you can see in the video above, a dark lumbering figure walks into frame about 10 seconds into the clip. The shadowy silhouette of something clearly bipedal makes its way through the stand of trees before walking out of frame.
While the creature appears to fit the traditional description of Bigfoot, it also could pretty easily be explained as a bear or a human. Because the camera is capturing the forest floor looking down from 100 feet up, the perspective is a little screwy and it's hard to get much clarity.
Local media reported the story Wednesday, but the footage was actually shot in the spring of 2016. It was posted to YouTube earlier in the year but then taken down due to a copyright claim by CarbonTV, which then posted the clip on its own account in September.
This sighting is about on par with other inconclusive bits of evidence that Sasquatch exists, like the few seconds of something hairy captured in Sequoia National Park earlier this year.
Check it out for yourself and see what you think. One thing is for sure, though: those bald eagle chicks are ridiculously adorable.
A Moobacca sighting!
If a man expresses an opinion, and there is no woman around to hear it, is he still wrong?
This video has been out for a while. The more serious Bigfoot hunters say it is “inconclusive” because it is to far away.
The thing is this is way, way, way, way back in the woods so it is unlikely to be a hoax because there’d be no point in a guy being dressed up. It may be a hunter (poacher given the time of year) in a ghilli suit.
It isn’t a bear is all they are willing to say
It’s my cousin David out birdwatching again.
I don’t know about this video; and I know I’m going to take a ribbing for this: but all the Bigfoot stories I’ve read make me think there just may be something to this stuff...there’s an awful lot of literature about it, going back a long way.
ON,NTSA
So we are to believe that somehow a B & W old video that has been around for decades superimposed itself on a color picture of baby birds.....
This is one of the worst scams ever.
I hope I don't need a /s
Janet Reno?
All this for a dammed eagle?
/s
Cam is on the nest and suddenly some kind of photoshop circle is superimposed.
Why should we believe this?!
I wonder if Nessie, Champ, Yeti, Bigfoot and others are real...I think so...
The circle is enlarging what you can see in the upper right of the video. The weird thing is that the gait of the critter is very reminiscent of the gait of the ‘bigfoot’ in the Patterson-Gimlin film. Maybe somebody inserted it?
Definitely not a bear. Willing to give it the benefit of the doubt
“Your wife’s a bigfoot, isn’t she, Gus?”
I don’t know about those; and I don’t believe in UFOS as ‘ETs visiting us’, either - I read almost every book that came out about UFO in my youth.
But there’s just something about Bigfoot. Here’s a good article about Teddy Roosevelt’s telling of a bigfoot story in his book:

We have a camera phenomena wherein we can photograph micro/macro, beauty, we even have lenses fast enough catch a woman’s lips shut, but for some damned reason, UFO’s, Loch Ness and Big Foot can’t be properly shot with a camera.
