Check out this vidoe... they claim it's Bigfoot. At first I thought it was a bear suffering some sort of illness, but the shape of the face (as well as the legs) is a bit off. Also, at one point the vidoe seems somewhat manipulated...

Dude in a bad suit. Note, the head "hangs" on the neck and there is no movement of the head on the neck independant of the body. The legs look very much like he's got something like short stilts attatched to his feet. They got the mouth to move a bit, but the way he has to roll to get up really destroys it from the git go. Imagine having 1-1 1/2 foot long stilts attached to your feet, then trying to stand up.

Good catch with the stilts. Of course, the most damning evidence of all is the fact that it was caught. If YOU saw THAT would you be 5 feet from it filming it? If you would, would you shut the camera off twice to change angles slightly? Probably not, but you might shut the camera off twice to give directions to the actor or you might splice in spots with black video and no sound to splice together the 3 best shorts you got from your night of filming. Still, they did a pretty decent job of it. You at least have to watch it more than once to figure it out.

Not just stilts on the legs, but on his hands too. It's really a terrible suit.

I've seen the video before (i think it was already posted on here). it wasn't that bad. It mostly reminded me of those stilt creatures that were in the movie Dark Crystal.

I think they would have been better off calling it an 'unknown creature' rather than 'bigfoot', as it really bears no resemblance to bigfoot. Ya gotta hand it to them though... the almost hyperventilating camera operator and all adds to the effect...
