Hikers Take Flight When What They Thought Was a Bear Resembles Bigfoot(Most Convincing Video Ever)

When the black bear you think you're looking at from a safe distance suddenly stands and begins to resemble bigfoot, and that creature stares directly at you, how do you react? The hikers who captured the accompanying footage recently in Utah's Provo Canyon seemed to act appropriately: They bolted through the woods, with the camera still running, to get as far away from the creature as possible. "We ran straight to the car after that, leaving our tent and everything behind. It's probably all still up there," states Beard Card, the YouTube user who posted the video. This is one of the more realistic Bigfoot escapades in some time.

Naturally, skeptics are analyzing the video in the hopes of finding an explanation. Yet even healthy cynics are pretty impressed with what they see. They note that the witnesses don't appear to be acting. If they were, the skeptics say, they'd likely be a lot more vocal, and fall into the overacting trap. (Watch this video for full breakdown.) They also didn't stick around to get a great shot, which also rings of a very natural reaction, but didn't help when it came to capturing a better image.

Nevertheless, the shot of what clearly looks like the animal's big broad arms is extremely compelling, which is why Max Roth of Fox 13 caught up with Beard Card to talk about the incredible encounter.

Card told Roth how they were standing there for a good chunk of time even before recording what they believed to be a bear at the time, while he was trying to get the camera to work. During their exchange, Card hit on their reaction. Here are a few excerpts.

Is this a picture of the First Wookie out for a noon walk?

I’ll admit I’m one that “Wants to Believe” (or whatever that X-Files poster said). The left “hand” of the blob is interesting in that it is extra large and curls up and inward like a great ape’s hand does. Of course it is also possible to see the “man-in-the-moon” - so who knows.

That upload is much clearer than the one linked at the website above. Same uploader though. Definitely not a bear. You can stop it and see a very long arm no bear would have.

[muir_redwoods]

Looks just like a bear to me. I don’t see anything suggesting anything else. Of course, I’ve seen bears in the wild. This is what they look like.

[Two Kids' Dad]

Whoa! I’d like to tame some of those wild creatures.

Stop it at 0:34 seconds in that version of the video and adjust it back and forth within the 34 second mark.

Oh, and I saw Elvis in a UFO once, just ask Ray Stevens, he saw it too.

You have the Crypto list, don’t you?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Hoax, for sure.

[lowbridge]

It’s a bear wearing a Bigfoot costume.

They do that, you know.

[Hot Tabasco]

but I can view them on youtube- just not when they’re ;postred on other sites for some reason

I had the same problem for a while but it's OK now....I wish I could tell you what I did to fix it but I can't.

The problem may have started after I had downloaded Mozila Firefox. I never used it because it was confusing so I disinstalled it. However a part of it remained and it wasn't until I discovered that and removed it that I think my problem was resolved........I THINK

[machman]

Now that is a video I can believe in!

[muir_redwoods]

I’m sorry, it looks like the six or so bears I’ve seen in the northeast over the past thirty years. There is nothing in that clip that suggests anything but a bear. I just don’t see it

[Puddleglum]

It's a black Hefty-compatible store-brand trash bag wearing a Bigfoot costume.

When the black bear you think you're looking at from a safe distance suddenly stands and begins to resemble bigfoot, and that creature stares directly at you, how do you react?

Sh*t self, pray, run, decide whether to shoot.
Customize order as necessary.

[eartrumpet]

The very long arm is caused by leaves in the mid ground making it look like an arm. It’s a solid black blob, like a normal black bear.

[Jabba the Nutt]

An investigation can be conducted. Go back to the location, photograph from the same location, and the height and size of the creature can be determined. You could search for footprints, fur caught on branches, skat, etc.

[38special]

That's no ordinary bear!
