Bigfoot in Yellowstone National Park? Is This Video Real or Fake? [Watch]

A video that recently surfaced on the Internet has gone viral. Apparently, Bigfoot may have made an appearance in Yellowstone National Park, according to New York Daily News.

"Bigfoot sightings are not frequent, but it happens," Al Nash, the spokesperson for National Parks, told KTMF-TV. "People say a lot of crazy things about Yellowstone all the time."

The footage was grainy, but it was easy to make out a bison that was roaming around the snow-covered park. Several minutes into the clip, four massive unidentified creatures are seen walking upright. Either they were men who decided it was fun to wear monkey suits on a snowy day, or they were real-life authentic Bigfoots.

It has been quite a field day for sasquatch enthusiasts ever since the video made it to the World Wide Web. It was first posted by Mary Greeley last January, and it has been watched over 40,000 times. The footage was captured near the famous Old Faithful geyser. Unfortunately, the camera cuts away before viewers can take a closer look at the four beings.

When Greeley posted the video, she wrote, "News the Mainstream don't cover and are too afraid to show you."

Sky News says that Bigfoot is believed to be a flat-footed creature, a bit similar to human beings. Its feet have been super-sized and its footprint reaches a span of more than 40 centimeters. Some people have always believed that Bigfoot is real and not merely a mythical creature. However, it was nearly impossible to find concrete evidence of its existence.

Casper Star-Tribune Communications quotes skeptics who have suggested that, perhaps, the four creatures were park rangers wearing black uniforms. Some also said that maybe a highly skillful creative insertion of computer graphics was involved. However, those who strongly believe that it was a group of Bigfoots have adamantly stuck to their belief.

Even 101.9 FM, a rock radio station in Cheyenne, is not sold on the idea that Bigfoot really exists. They posted the video on their official website, attaching a skeptical note and a poll.

Men of science have debunked the myth since supposed sightings are oftentimes cases of misidentifying other kinds of animals. Some would even purposely dress up as Bigfoot to spark theories even more. Still, despite its controversial status, Bigfoot is actually pretty popular in North America. It was even used as a mascot during the 2010 Winter Olympics, which was held in Vancouver, Canada.
