Strange Figure Captured

A listener writes “I did an encounter interview with you last year about an encounter I had while fishing in Illinois. I was out fishing today and I had a rock thrown at my boat. I was about 1/8 of a mile from where I had my original encounter. When this happened I said to the kid who was in my boat it might be a Bigfoot. I did this jokingly so as not to alarm the kids. One of the boys said he had a video of a Bigfoot one of his friends gave him. It was recorded in Alaska while he and his dad were observing caribou on some sort of tour. Anyway, I’ve attached the video to get your take. Let me know what your think.”

    I am surprised the animals didn’t flinch an inch.
    It was a fast moving ‘thing’- reminded me of (oh no, here I go with some crazy observation)…. a gorilla leaning back while running upright. Wonder what it could have been? ??

    • Denise F

      I will say that we had cats that became familiar with fox and coyotes coming up behind our cyclone fence.
      They may have been used to whatever this was running by them?

    I keep trying to slow this down because the figure seems to just appear and doesn’t look solid to me. I hope that someone with the technology an take a closer look at what this thing is. Pretty interesting…

    Pretty quick and the elk in the bush didn’t even flinch..It could’ve been a sasquatch, it could’ve been anything..who knows..why was the video so short? Hmmmm…

    Presumably, there was nothing more on the video to record, as this is a video re-recording of video playing on a tv/monitor.

    The original video might be more helpful.

    The form seems to continue moving on the other side of the tree. CGI seems unlikely, but not much can be gleaned from this other than a swift moving form that the caribou seem unaware of or unconcerned with.

    My initial response is another hoax of a Bigfoot. Because it is only 5 seconds and captures the creature at the instant it comes into view and it seems human upright. If there is more to this video than 5 seconds and some back story maybe I would think different. For now it is a blur of something. It would be very easy of the person filming to determine the height of this subject.

    The caribou facing away from the camera and toward the trees doesn’t even finch, and even goes back to eating. That, and the fact that this was on a tour leads me to believe this was staged for a little excitement on the tour. Nothing wrong with having a bit of a sense of humor when people are enjoying the scenery. It’s kind of like salting an old mine with Fools Gold for tourists to ‘find’.

    Way too fast to be a “known” Alaskan animal or human. It seems as tho it stopped right where the willows and alders were thicker and hid. Vegetation was too sparse for its sense of safety where it first showed up on the video. The kid may have (or someone else) cut off the beginning to make it fit.
    Animals know when they are hunted: he was just trying to get away so did not give off any threat.
    I think the kid was focused on the Caribou and was lucky. Maybe the BF was frantic due to all the camera lasers/electronics pointing in its direction since we now know they avoid cameras like the plague.
    I know they’re up here all over. I’ve talked to too many people who have seen them. I only saw one in CA just a few years ago near my home town area, and a print when I was about 12-13 while with my dad.

    Oh, just thought of something…maybe there was a Caribou inside the tree line feeding on some of the same bushy stuff that one on the outside edge was. Maybe the BF grabbed it. A lot of animals seem to be unconcerned when one of theirs gets taken…we see it all the time on videos and documentaries; the others seem to just take it in stride…its head would be taken off so fast or neck broken, that’s perhaps why no one would hear anything…just a thought. It did look like there was some “busy stuff” right where it seemed the animal went out of sight…like moving about quickly; then quiet. In Alaska the Caribou feed everywhere. There is the Barren Land Caribou and the Woodland Caribou. Just thinking…don’t know what others are completely considering.

    Agree with Damon M, wolfheathen, cyndie r, U H, M M and J K.

    I saw a head/upright at least at the beginning. If that was real-time it was soooo fast!!
    The juvenile that ran right across in front of me and my friend in his car in CA in 2016, seemed to wait to the last minute, and was impossibly fast and went from a stand to all 4’s from my side of the car where I spied it standing right close w a right shoulder and upper arm, lower arm.against a 2 foot tree then went on all 4’s. All so fast but seemed like slow motion in memory. He slammed on his brakes but it was already across the road! Impossible. Bears that run in front of me…the deer that hit me outside of Quincy, Ca…both seemed strugglingly-slow and I remember limb movements and core body parts collecting and bunching and then expanding in effort to get across, but the BF that ran in front of us was so fast it was a blur like that video. We both just remember, no snout or ears, elbows halfway down the front legs (arms), short “paws” (folded knuckles), and knees halfway down the back legs and Very deep chest. We were in shock and dumb-founded.

    It’s my video. The guy who recorded it did so back in the 1990s and didn’t discover it until years later. I was told he stated he didn’t see the “thing” until years later when he was watching the film. The clip was actually recorded by a kid videoing his television with his phone while his dad showed him the film.

Strange figure captured

Nv Tv put this video out. There is something in the background while the kids sit around a campfire. Check it out:

    I am thinking that this is legit. The speed of movement jives with the description from witnesses saying that the creature (Bigfoot) moved with incredible speed. And it doesn’t appear to have made any noise while it was darting through the trees.

  5. Darrell O

    I saw this on Finding Bigfoot. It was actually very hot outside, but the kids were filming a video on how to make s’mores. They did a recreation and I believe they had a hard time matching the speed. If someone was hoaxing then they were running around in a suit on a 90 plus degree day!

Strange figure captured

This video has been sent to me several times I think it is nothing more than a person, possibly a child running. I am in the process of putting it in my video editor and slowing it down.

The guys in the video appear to be Indonesian. The title of the video roughly translates “Shocked someone naked in the forests.” The description roughly translates “Could be a primitive population, could be the claimant black magic”

So we know the guys are not claiming it is some sort of creature, they think it is a naked person. I really do not think there is anything here but I will take a look in my video editor.

    The naked person seemed to be larger than a child in relation to the stick, root he was carrying and to which the men find and hold up after running into the tall grasses. It appears to be a very fast naked or semi-naked adult carrying a root-stick to me.

  3. June P

    The way it ran into the tall grasses, I thought it was maybe CGI. Hmm… Don’t know, though. Someone needs to do some breakdown and frame by frames, that would be awesome if a CGI practioner could advise!

  4. June P

    In this above still, it does look like the person recovering from the wipe out is looking in the thing’s direction, and maybe the person closest to the camera view….what do you think????

  6. Knobby

    I think this could be an orang pendek. It’s evidently naked. It’s hard to tell if it is covered with short hair like Orang Pendek’s are, but it could be. It is very muscular and short (not a child). Where it runs into the grass it is no taller than the grass, but when the men go to where it entered the grass they are much taller, and Indonesians are not very tall people themselves.

    As to the location I read this was on the island of Sumatra where Orang Pendek is said to live.

    Its a very short and muscular barefoot naked person of some sort. It runs fast. This is not like a man wearing a bigfoot suit, we see the individual body tone as they are. The gluts on that thing are big. Some here are saying CGI, which that might get thrown out too often by those who don’t know how complicated CGI really is with all this background to incorporate frame by frame.

    I’m wondering if the body shape could be a female by the larger hips narrow waist, but I can’t tell.

    That road was muddy in places. Too bad they didn’t have the presence to video a footprint. They have unusual/distinct short wide feet.

  7. Jack A

    I personally suspect this is REALLY good CGI. Just like the video that people still think is real that shows the grizzly bear chasing a guy on a mountain bike. CGI blended into real footage.

  9. SANDRA E

    His butt hasn’t gotten as much sun as his back…..I’m thinking he usually wears shorts. Is this in the Phillipines? (sp) Thanks for passing it along, Wes.

  10. Dave H

    Where you see it go into the long grass it is half the height of the grass, and when the others arrive at the same spot the grass is around head height on them. So if it is a person, he’s very small. But who knows if he’s fully grown, it may be an adolescent pygmy human. Or just a particularly shortarse one.

  11. Irene A

    The proportions are that of a human being. He appears to be wearing some kind cover over his head, along with carrying a long rod. Once he entered the tall grass, all he needed to do is crouch down to hide from the men on the motorcycles, then slower walk he way away. No orang pendek here, considering most eye witnesses report that the cryptid is hairy, resembling an orangutan in color as well.

  12. Irene A

    One more note: at :28 notice the pale gluteus of the running man. I would think if it was someone who lives solely in the forest/jungle, his whole body would be tanned…?

  13. Charles R

    It appears to me these folks have too much time to waste and decided to make a vid that might show a wildman, or orang pendek. I would think the naked runner is their buddy. Red flags all over the place.

    ive looked up as much as I can since seeing this a couple days ago. Apparently the consensus is its a tribal member, some say they dont exist, but do and have been seen before, and they are known to freak out and take off like a fart in the wind when they see towns folk. Thats all this is. Townspeople in the back country coming across someone who dont wanna be filmed. Why is it so damn hard to believe there are still tribes left in this world? Some dont wanna be seen! And this guy was fast but nothing unusual. The guy in front fell off his bike chasing him, while hes running… dude gets up, gets on his bike, all while dude is running. Maybe he runs ALOT. It makes u fast. Especially if u r used to the terrain. Not everything is paranormal or suspect.

  16. Shaun W

    I believe in Orang Pendek, but in vain of being another villain questioning this video… some things don’t add up with whats happening in the video. Trail bikes are very loud and this creature doesn’t move or notice that the riders are there until they nearly run up it’s arse. You would assume such a creature that has evolved and still living in the jungles of Indonesia, would have hearing capable to hear multiple trail bikes coming down the track. Also the creature keeps running along the track to evade the riders, the most visible line of sight instead of ducking into the jungle either side of the track. Nearly all animals when spooked head for the nearest cover. When it dissapears into the grass something just doesn’t look right, it seems to dematerialise instead of fading in amongst the grass. I apologise in advance if this gets on anyones goat but thought I would share my thoughts.

  18. Bryan H

    The way it was standing when the riders approached it, was almost a defence stance. I wonder when it heard the noise approaching, if the suspect thought predator, went into a defence mode, and threw something at the oncoming rider, and that’s why he crashes.

    • Shaun W

      Good point, that’s definitely plausible. Would love to see a breakdown analysis of the video more to get a better view of the creature. Maybe a vid for Thinker Thunker to have a crack at. Cheers for your point of view, got me thinking…
