The 10 Most Convincing Bigfoot Sightings

For decades, people around the world have been fascinated with the legend of bigfoot, sasquatch, yeti, or whatever you choose to call it. Sightings of a furry, upright biped and reports of beastly footprints have been reported from as far afield as the Himalayas. Although no definitive proof exists, the (often questionable) reports continue adding up. ϳԹ plunged into the deep, dark corners of this subculture to compile the most famous—perhaps most convincing—bigfoot photos ever captured. Here’s the evidence. Is bigfoot real? You be the judge.

The Most Famous Bigfoot Photo (above)

Arguably the most famous and influential Bigfoot footage is the 1967 film shot by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin in Northern California. The “Bigfoot walk” it depicts has been parodied by many, but never truly replicated. Even with this enhanced image, it’s hard to tell if it’s a person in a gorilla suit or the real deal.

Marble Mountain Bigfoot

A youth group was camping in the Marble Mountain Wilderness, California when leader Jim Mills noticed a skulking along a ridge nearby. He filmed it for nearly seven minutes, making the somewhat-grainy footage the longest video of an alleged bigfoot sighting.

Eric Shipton’s Snowy Bigfoot (Yeti?) Footprint

British explorer Eric Earle Shipton snapped this photo while trekking through the Himalayas in 1951, alleging that the footprint belonged to a Yeti. In 2014, Christie’s Auction house in London capitalized on the worldwide interest in bigfoot and sold the original photo for nearly $5,000.

“Independence Day” Bigfoot

Called “The Independence Day” film, a beast was caught in a remarkably clear video that shows an alleged adult bigfoot walking through the woods, with a cub (kid?) in tow. The filmmaker and exact location are unknown and many skeptics claim that there is a telling visible seam of a gorilla suit.

Provo Canyon Bigfoot

In October 2012, a group of siblings hiking in Provo Canyon thought they spotted a bear in the woods and started filming. When the creature , the hikers ran—abruptly ending the shaky video. A year later, the siblings launched a Kickstarter campaign to investigate other Utah bigfoot sightings.

Allegheny Bigfoot

In 2007, hunter Rick Jacobs captured some of the most famous bigfoot images to date with a camera mounted to a tree in Pennsylvania’s Allegheny National Forest. His camera also captured clear photos of bear cubs, offering evidence that the unidentified animal was not ursine. But skeptics believe the animal is just a bear sick with mange.

Johnstown’s Smelly Bigfoot

Locals in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, were baffled by a footprint measuring 17.75 inches found near a residential home in 1980. According to the Associated Press, the footprint coincided with reports of strange noises and a strong but unusual odor in the area.

Washington’s Blue Mountain Bigfoot Sighting

In 1994, former U.S. Forest patrolman Paul Freeman claimed he saw a family of bigfoots in Washington’s Blue Mountains. The video is shaky and grainy but has been deemed the real deal by so-styled bigfoot experts. Bigfoot sightings in Washington’s state parks are a steady source of intrigue for fans of the elusive simian.

Mississippi Bigfoot

Mississippi resident Josh Highcliff while hunting on his property in 2013. Afraid to go back to the woods, he posted the footage to YouTube asking for help to identify the animal or for a prankster to come forward.

Provo Bigfoot Number 2

A hiker was walking through the Utah Hills near Provo Canyon in 2012 when he spotted a large animal in the woods. As he approached, the animal stood up on two legs and at him—supposedly a trademark behavior of sasquatch’s.

At just 19 years old, Alex Mason is one of the youngest phenoms in slacklining. He’s traversed the globe to compete, winning the Teva World Cup and the Slackline World Championships, all before he graduated high school. For his biggest project yet, he teamed up with his mentor, “Sketchy” Andy Lewis, and a Redbull film crew to trickline his way through the world’s first “slackladder” — a term coined by Redbull.
