[A Turtle Named Mack]

Hikers near Spokane posted a YouTube video Wednesday that supposedly shows Bigfoot walking nearby.

I think it's a gorilla with mange.

[Der Induktionator]

Or cousin Billy. With mange.

[greenfrog78]

It's cousin Billy in a gorilla suit with mange

Come to think of it, I've never seen a gorilla suit that didn't look like it had mange.

As others have pointed out (elsewhere), samantha13950, who posted the video to Youtube, says that she filmed this with her iPhone at Downriver Park in Spokane. Further, it's been noted that part of the park occupies a thin stretch of land between the Spokane River and Spokane Falls Community College.

I'm sure it's a mere coincidence that the school bills itself as the "Home of the Bigfoot" and that its mascot is Skitch, the Sasquatch.

Obviously they meant stage right.

I used to go to a riding stable located in the Downriver park area and I never once saw Bigfoot! Maybe Bigfoot is afraid of horses.

I think bigfoot is afraid of clear photography. And horses.

Stage right is the right side from the audience's point of view.

You've got it backwards. The right side from the audience's point of view is known as "house right". Stage right and house left are the same.

In that case English and Swedish don't use the same terminology.

I would say college student with mange but that would be redundant.

That does not surprise me. English and French get things switched around all the time!

Bigfoot is wearing either white socks or white trainers - you can see them in the "zoomed in" part of the video.

College student in mascot suit with white trainers and mange.

You Swedes had a different word for almost everything.

Don't you know that something dark and walling on two legs in the woods = Bigfoot. What are they teaching people in our schools today.

[ASL]

How are you guys even getting that the subject is wearing a costume? All you can see is a silhouette. He could be wearing jeans and a t-shirt for all we know.

Oh, and one other thing: animals tend not to worry about dodging small branches or weaving to avoid patches of brush. When a moderately sized animal (eg: approximately man-sized animal) goes by that close, even if you don't see it you hear it. At least that's been my experience. The absence of a reaction from the hikers indicates to me they either:

a) didn't hear anything, or
b) weren't exactly surprised by what they heard/saw

Either way, if it was a genuine bigfoot sighting, they'd have noticed and visibly reacted.

Cheapest bigfoot suit ever. you'd think with literally billions of video cameras around these days that these kinds of exaggerated "sightings" would decrease but people look at the video and put in just as much of their imagination as they ever did. More videos has just meant more UFOs, more bigfoots, more lake monsters, even as the quality of the sightings goes way down. Kind of puzzling.

[Cyrano]

Wouldn't even speak of a bigfoot suit. From that distance, it could just as well be someone wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt....


.... OMG!!!! It's a HUNTER!!! RUN!!!ELEVEN!!

[ganzfeld]

Just to clarify, that's what I meant by cheapest bigfoot suit ever: "jeans and a t-shirt" as ASL said.
