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.

Having met up with black bears in the great outdoors, no bear that I have seen stand up to look around, has appeared that broad shouldered.

Have not read the rest of the replies so please excuse me if this has already been suggested, but, it might just be a bear running off with an animal limb in it jaws. Just playing devils advocate, but I must say that it does give me the willies when I see it.

[TigersEye]

You didn’t look at the frames I suggested. Or you have deformed bears in the northeast.

[TigersEye]

It moves and maintains that appearance through several frames regardless of the foreground clutter.

I looked very carefully at the 34 second mark over and over again. I saw, unmistakably, the bears left forepaw lift briefly. It looks like the four bears I’ve seen in New England and two in the west.

[TigersEye]

It certainly doesn’t look like that in any way shape or form.

[TigersEye]

OK. Doesn’t look like any bear I have ever seen.

[Randy Larsen]

LOL!

That looks like they caught Bigfoot taking a dump!

Thanks ApplegateRanch. Nope, perhaps I should have taken it over, I can't remember if I was offered it or not. It got a different pingmeister, who either lost interest in it, or didn't really have much in the first place. :'( Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

It’s a bear.

And it looks like perhaps it may even be a bear answering the age old question about bears in the woods.

The guys doing the taping may have inadvertently done just what we always ask if bears do in the woods.

Seriously, it is a bear. What looks like an arm is bear body broken up by leaves in front of it. Pause the video and look closely.

It’s a bear.
