The Shelby native says he saw an apelike creature dart across the road during a trip through the hills below South Mountains State Park Tuesday evening. Byers and friend Carolyn Wright had planned to watch for paranormal phenomena at an old church graveyard when the shrouded, shuffling figure crossed their path.
“She was hollering, ‘What is it, what is it?’ and I couldn’t even speak,” Byers said. “It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. It looked like it was about 300 pounds and it was somewhere close to 7 feet tall. It came out of the field and came through the briars and bushes onto the road.”
Byers snapped photographs and recorded a brief video of the sighting with a pocket digital camera. As is often the case with footage of the camera-shy sasquatch, Byers’ film is blurry and indistinct. He said the darkening sky made clearer pictures impossible, but he’s convinced the creature was genuine.
“I saw its private parts,” he said. I don’t think it was anybody in a suit or anything like that. It was definitely male.”

Very cool a few miles away from me, thx for the post

That sasquatch walk is very strange it skips and has a very small stride, hmmm thats a thinker thunker
stephen m
Yep! It was walking like it had something stuck in its butt . I guess the costume is a little too tight in the rear .

Well, I think the “witness” accidentally admitted that it is a hoax. When he mentioned seeing the male parts he said “I could tell it was a man” and then he quickly changed that statement to “it was a male.” The footage was horrible and probably the worst impersonation of a Bigfoot that I have seen. Next!

Well the video of the “creature” was good for a laugh. I agree Travis, worst I have ever seen.
Geoffrey P
I could certainly see how some might ridicule that dude

Oh I would think of something like that being there,even though this is n. Carolina it kinda reminds me of parts of Del Norte County Ca.

Well you know I think it “may have been disabled”…just a thought.or an injury.
SANDRA E
I got the same impression Kim.

Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

Completely unbelievable! ……Unless, of course, Bigfoots have learned to walk like people in monkey suits in order to discourage additional attention from human investigators!

So many motion graphic experts and biologists on this site…

I’m no expert: ……But like many here, I have spent the last couple of decades looking at videos that have been presented on the internet, and recently, I have been closely following the analysis videos made by people like “ThinkerThunker”.
….And as a result, I have learned to look at things like arm/leg length ratios, and the degree of knee bend in comparison to a human model.
This video fails all of the tests I have learned to apply. (…..But I am always anxious to hear from a REAL expert concerning the errors of my ways!)

Wow! Those two definitely need to be looking for the right “GHOST”.

Another youtuber posting a fake video. That’s all it is. I especially like at the end he looks away and tries to hide a laugh. Should be marked ” for entertainment purposes only”

It’s ass clowns like this man is why I keep all of my encounter quiet . my cousin as well because he works for a local police department.
Debbie C
That description alone is why I never want to see one.

It’s interesting it takes approximately 7 steps for a large bellied elderly gentleman to step across 1/2 the road, and the ‘creature’ took 6 skips to get across the other half. Kinda hard to imagine this terror of the forest, to be terrifying, when it can barely move faster then a slow moving man, and runs like you see some gang banger with his pants down around his thighs.
I agree with others, if the evidence is questionable, you toss it out as evidence.
SantiamLady
Yeah, when I saw the video, my heart sank. ???? Clearly a man in a very poorly made, & fitting, costume. I liked his description tho, of “seeing its private parts”, and what a filthy butt crease it had! ????. My first thought was Wes saying, “It’s a damn dirty Ape!” ????
Jerry B
Horrible, videos like this make it all look like a hoax. I hate this kind of stuff.
Dave T
They didn’t even try to make it convincing. This guy needs to leave these kind of pranks to the teenagers.
Ann E
That has to be the silliest sasquatch ever. It looked like my teenage nephew in saggy pants with a monkey suit over it all.
Robert P
I couldn’t watch past the first minute. He was unbelievable
Jane M
As long as I do not have to see his butt crack!
Mindy V
I definitely believe this man’s story. He was believable, told what happened in a manner consistent with honesty and had very good details of the sighting.
Dean R
This dude is out looking for dead people near a church……then he spots bigfoot’s junk on the way back??? Does he have a moonshine still anywhere near that area?
Linda G
So many have already commented that this video looked fake & i have to agree. Footsteps were too close together. That isnt how a BF walks.
