In a recent viral incident, Stetson Parker and his wife, Shannon, claim to have captured the elusive Bigfoot on video during their 10th-anniversary trip on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado. The grainy footage, zoomed in for clarity, shows a tall, brownish figure with long arms, fueling the ongoing debate about the mythical creature also known as Sasquatch or Yeti.
While some experts and enthusiasts like Cliff Barackman, who runs the North American Bigfoot Center, remain skeptical of the video's authenticity, others like Ryan Willis, host of "Sasquatch University," believe the evidence adds to the growing catalog of Bigfoot sightings.
The fascination with Bigfoot isn't new; it has endured for decades, capturing the attention of researchers, academics, and even the FBI. While a 2014 Oxford University study debunked many Bigfoot hair samples as belonging to other animals, the Bigfoot faithful remain undeterred. The internet is rife with both hoaxes and alleged evidence, including other videos, hair samples, and even discussions of fecal matter. Skepticism continues to surround the subject, with alternate explanations for the recent sighting ranging from bears to individuals in ghillie suits, commonly used for camouflage. Despite the lack of verifiable proof, Bigfoot remains a creature of fascination, keeping believers and skeptics alike ever vigilant.
