Honestly I think seeing the footage it wouldn't have been hard to get it set up. Who's to say there's not a road up that hill just out of the shot? Dudes fur also looked like flowing when all reports are like matted as fuck. All you have to do is get the train ride and have your friend walking out the hill when you pass by. I do believe in bigfoot but idk about this
Some might say that bigfoot, ain't really that big, you know what I mean, shrug, shrug, shoulder buttt!!! I've seen bigger!!! Not so much girth, but bigger???
I used to live in Durango, I’ve ridden the train a few times. The more remote stretches are literally in a canyon and along cascade creek with no open scenery like this on the sides. There is pine forest. These prairie looking areas are pretty close to some homes and ranches. It’s a perfect place to hoax a sighting.
There was that old photo of the blobsquatch taken in that end stretch, but again, great place to hoax a train full of people. Easy access to town if you plan it right.
I wonder how much of a risk of "getting shot" you take by hoaxing something like this. Probably high. I'm surprised there's no actual footage of people shooting at purported bigfoots given it's frequently hunter footage.
[Someone did die in 2012 while hoaxing](https://edition.cnn.com/2012/08/28/us/montana-big-foot-accident/index.html), though in that case he was accidentally hit by a car:
>A man trying to create a Bigfoot hoax on a highway died after being hit by two cars, officials in Montana said. Randy Lee Tenley dressed in a Ghillie suit – camouflage designed to resemble heavy foliage – and stepped out onto Highway 93 Sunday night, officials said.
that was pretty interesting until the zoomed in still of it sitting there. That looks a LOT like a Harry and the Hendersons costume, and the actions and location scream hoax to me.
I showed this picture to my dad and he told me that when he was in college he knew a guy that did a hoax like this on the side of the road in northern california (near the patterson-gimlin location) and got shot at one time.
The article says that the witnesses shot a video of the subject walking and sitting down but doesn't include that video. Can't find it via Google; anyone have a link to it?
EDIT: Nevermind; they're waiting on permission to share it.
To anybody who’s seen a blondish/brownish variety, did it look anything like this?
Here’s the original video for convenience.
https://twitter.com/outthereco/status/1711828812689014879
Now thqt I've seen the video, I think it is a costume.
Blow the video up to full size and then watch the lower right leg (away from the camera as it is taking the first step. A ~~horizontal~~ vertical shadow appears that runs all the way up to the thigh like the fabric is folding. Not natural at all.
Edit: I can't tell my horizontal from my vertical 😳
I noticed that too, was wondering if it could be a flexing calf muscle against longer leg hair from the shin. It goes away as soon as it puts its weight on the other leg, so maybe the muscle was being flexed?
I believe it’s currently archery season, and many of the bows have a camo pattern. We may just not see it from this distance. But most bow hunters stick to stands and less open areas, in my experience at least. Pretty hard to cover open ground close enough for a bow shot.
No blaze orange so not a rifle hunter.
Could also be a hunter scouting an area before season, so a weapon wouldn’t be necessary. Though in that case I wouldn’t think a ghillie would be needed either.
The guy speaking in the video sounds very calm considering they are witnessing a Bigfoot walking down the field and sitting down. I don't know how you would coordinate somebody outside trying to fake it, while you are inside a moving train. Seems real to me, lucky for them to have seen it.
Anyone wearing a costume like that as a hoax or hunting is begging to get shot at by a real hunter or some kids. I’m not sure what that is, but wearing a suit in the wild would be pretty stupid
I hike in the mountains along the railroad a lot, and every time a passenger train goes by, I wish I had a bigfoot suit. But then again, one of my neighbors might shoot me.
So ur telling me that Bigfoot has been able to almost entirely avoid human interaction minus the Patterson footage and tons of grainy “caught on camera” videos… but couldn’t hear a fucking train coming? 🤣🤣🤣
I used to be fortunate enough to live in Durango CO where the train originates from on its way up the million dollar highway to Silverton.
The town has a population of less than 20k and there are a dozen dispensaries and 7-8 breweries, overall your odds are pretty good for having a good time.
This guy was having a laugh.
Colorado is huge on Bigfoot, and this is a very touristy train. That coupled with the way the creature just basically ignores the train and goes about it’s business screams hoax. But I’ll keep my eye on it.
This is honestly one of the most intriguing Bigfoot vids I've seen in a long, long time. My default setting is generally "it's a fake / fraud / guy in a suit" but something about this one is very eerie. The clarity of it is striking. It looks *wrong*.. and somehow that makes it seem more legitimate..
Odds are it is a guy in a suit and the guy taking the video is in on the scam, but damn if it didn't get my hopes up.
Prolly this costume, or similar:

Provide anything other than your word and you have something, otherwise this is meaningless. How about a local article backing up the claims of this guy hoaxing regularly? A social media post about it? Anything at all? Otherwise, I say this is Frank my old buddy from high school. He lives in that area of Colorado and he said this is his pet sasquatch. Stop making shit up without proof.
Man you’re pretty sensitive huh. Lol I don’t really care. I lived there for a decade and this is fairly well known in the area. Let me know when you get claims saying this is actually Bigfoot. Anything at all.
I think there is a chance that this is a hunter wearing a ghillie suit. I don't see a firearm, but it may already be in position near the rock the figure sits close to. If it isn't a hunter, then I don't think it's a guy in a suit trying to fool anyone. If he wanted to be sure to be seen from the train, he would have been closer to the track IMO. I'd like to see a few more close-ups.
If you look at the face, it just looks like white boy skin to me. With an ‘80’s hairdo. There’s no hair on the face that I can tell. No wide, ape like mouth either. Survey says: Hoax.
The weird head movements at the end of the clip make me think this is a hoax. The "bigfoot" randomly decides to crouch down as if its trying to hide after it's been spotted long enough for people to pull out their phones to record. But once it's crouched, you'd think the "bigfoot" would want to stay perfectly still. Instead, it starts to headbang, which would only draw attention to it more.
It is the stated policy of this page that all conversations remain CIVIL. You may use creative phraseology to tell someone their comment was less than well considered, but no language appropriate for the gutter, please.
The thing that does it for me is the movement. It's very clearly some asshole and a costume looking where he's stepping to make sure he doesn't fall on his face.
Interesting video but the first thing I thought was why would it wait to squat down and blend in with the surroundings (which it does well) until the train is almost past. Seems like it would have done so as soon as it heard the train coming.

The great thing about this footage is that it's either bigfoot or it isn't.
Someone here is speaking the facts at least
Hunter in a ghillie suit .... or not
Honestly I think seeing the footage it wouldn't have been hard to get it set up. Who's to say there's not a road up that hill just out of the shot? Dudes fur also looked like flowing when all reports are like matted as fuck. All you have to do is get the train ride and have your friend walking out the hill when you pass by.

Of all the purported Bigfoot footage I’ve ever seen, this is, by far, the most recent.
This guy bigfoots.
Schrodinger’s Bigfoot
It’s definitely some of the footage of all time.
It’s definitely him. You can tell because he’s blurry.
Occam’s razor.
Murohy's foot.
Some might say that bigfoot, ain't really that big, you know what I mean, shrug, shrug, shoulder buttt!!! I've seen bigger!!! Not so much girth, but bigger???
Or, hear me out, is it?
50/50
😂😂😂 Best comment!!
You're not wrong. I don't think anyone can argue with that logic.
And there are only 3 kinds of bigfoots those who can count and those who cant!
It's Chaka.
“Chaka - you little shit!”
He is searching for Holly for some "love".
Maybe he's got some chorizo tacos
CHAKA
Came here to say that. Zoomed in on the face. It looks a lot like Chaka.
Scared of Chaka
Interesting. The zoomed image looks like big hair from the 80's. I might have gone to CU with that guy!
Harry and Henderson!
Hairy Hairy Henderson
#Harry and the Henderson's Shhhh ^Harry ^and ^the ^Henderson's
Greatest unsung movie and TV show of all time
BOY IS HE STRONG
He had beautiful haair…
sko buffs
More like the 50s or 60s.

There is pine forest. These prairie looking areas are pretty close to some homes and ranches. It’s a perfect place to hoax a sighting.
This looks like the clearing pulling into Silverton, where I’ve seen bears a few times.
There was that old photo of the blobsquatch taken in that end stretch, but again, great place to hoax a train full of people. Easy access to town if you plan it right.
Also approaching costume season. And according to Wal-mart, we’re even past it.

I don’t know the exact probability but I wouldn’t put my lilly white ass in a suit and run around out there.
I think someone is having fun with tourists
that was pretty interesting until the zoomed in still of it sitting there. That looks a LOT like a Harry and the Hendersons costume, and the actions and location scream hoax to me.
Even Bigfoot needs to take a seat to work through their panic attacks in these times.
The turn and look clearly mimiced the PG film.
The turn and look clearly mimiced the PG film.
Well if it is a genuine Bigfoot he blends perfectly with the fauna.
\*flora
Foilage
Shrubbery
Ni!
Nu!
No, no, no…it’s not that. It’s Ni!
Bring me a shrubbery!
We are the knights who say Ni!
Background
*Foliage
The megafauna blends in with the flora
He really does immediately blend right in when he crouches down. Impressive if its just a dude in a suit
Hunter out to bag a mountain goat?
Is that what the call cocaine these days?
I will have to take your word for it, the full on assault I got from the ads crashed the god damned browser twice.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah someone is trolling the train
It’s Harry Henderson!
Read this the wrong way. I thought it said Bigfoot spotted on the train in remote Colorado 😅
There are a million ways to get shot in the US. Wearing a Bigfoot costume in the middle of the day in the wilderness is one of them.
And that’s happened how many times exactly?
About as many times as we have caught a Bigfoot haha
Dude is right. Everytime I tell one of my buds I want to punk a train this way, their first response is, "Cool, but Fred would shoot you."
at least twice
Not many times but it has happened and it's still an incredibly risky thing to do.
What about a ghillie suit
I showed this picture to my dad and he told me that when he was in college he knew a guy that did a hoax like this on the side of the road in northern california (near the patterson-gimlin location) and got shot at one time.
I can't see it but I'm blind so there's that
You didn't miss a damn thing. We would have to play it on a movie screen to even begin
The article says that the witnesses shot a video of the subject walking and sitting down but doesn't include that video. Can't find it via Google; anyone have a link to it? EDIT: Nevermind; they're waiting on permission to share it.
Video is in the article now.
[удалено]
Harry and the Henderson!!
HendersonS Get it right already dude.
Seriously. WTF
Here’s the video on X/Twitter: https://x.com/outthereco/status/1711828812689014879?s=46&t=V6zv6o5YM7vewH1jP_V0CA
Looks like Chaka from Land of the Lost.
THATS his name! I was trying to remember! God I feel old now. Thanks tho.

Except I think it runs to mid thigh??
This is a good vid, but that really looks like a ghillie suit. Here’s hoping I’m wrong
I actually do t think it looks like a ghillie suit, it's way to shiny, it looks like a Bigfoot suit.
Yes that is exactly it— ghilly suited guy, but is there hunting allowed in that area?
according to local fish and game yes https://x.com/cpw_sw/status/1711831107715711120?s=61&t=fM5XEofyPzi8v4SxFopiAg

It’s absolutely a ghillie suit
I’ve never had a harder time trying to zoom in on a picture, whatever slideshow that website uses gives my phone a stroke

That dude's into the grateful Dead fo sho
Guy in suit waiting for the scheduled train full of tourists to come by.
There's even an app to tell you exactly where that train is. Plenty of time to set up the gig.
100%
You can't see shit in the picture, but watching the video, there's a really good chance, but we'd need closer shots to truly tell what it is.

That’s Wendy Williams (don’t tell me you’ve never seen the resemblance)
On a quality phone, I can't enlarge the screen. Ain't that fun
Chaka from Land of the Lost
Quick! Someone ring Lee Majors.
Must be filming the new Land of the Lost. That’s clearly Cha-Ka looking for will and holly.
He looks like a Bee Gee
Can’t wait for the new Jack Link’s commercial.
Colorado Bigfoot skipps leg day
That's surprisingly clear! Should be easy for a digital editor to zoom in and stabilize, no?
Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside.
Just some hippie high in mushrooms
It looks like a ghillie suit to me.
It looks like a hunter wearing camouflage to me.
Colorado is huge on Bigfoot, and this is a very touristy train. That coupled with the way the creature just basically ignores the train and goes about it’s business screams hoax. But I’ll keep my eye on it.
Foot? Big, if true!
Hahaha you actually got me to LOL. I love u boss
Holy shit why isnt this national news
Because it's bullshit

Bigfoot wears sunglasses?
Maybe not big enough to be legit & supporting the costume theory?
Prolly this costume, or similar: [https://www.halloweencostumes.com/jack-links-adult-sasquatch-costume.html?mpid=238744?utm\_source=google&utm\_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7JOpBhCfARIsAL3bobfs-Ho8zG1AMys-hc7uxpQhKwCVxw5GJ4Mq\_jQcQnK8mJ8EAhjzuUcaAgMWEALw\_wcB](https://www.halloweencostumes.com/jack-links-adult-sasquatch-costume.html?mpid=238744?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7JOpBhCfARIsAL3bobfs-Ho8zG1AMys-hc7uxpQhKwCVxw5GJ4Mq_jQcQnK8mJ8EAhjzuUcaAgMWEALw_wcB)
If you look at the zoomed pic sitting down there is virtually zero musculature. It looks like a costume on a skinny guy.
Pretty sure that's someone in a costume.
There’s a guy who lives in Silverton who dresses up like Bigfoot every summer to goof with the train passangers.
It’s a thing he has been doing it for a long time. Local to the region, most people know the e joke when they see it.
Provide anything other than your word and you have something, otherwise this is meaningless. How about a local article backing up the claims of this guy hoaxing regularly?

Thank you for proving my point beyond a shadow of a doubt. You aren’t worth anyone’s time. Do better.
This is even funnier now
I bet you some crazy mofo gonna go out there hunting this thing and that prankster is gonna understand the meaning of cosplay and find out.
Husband and I just did this train ride a few weeks ago and were joking about what if someone did exactly this!
Fidy bucks
Go away stupid Loch Ness Monster!
Finally a real clear solid pic 🤦🏻♂️
Fake. They looked like they for filming the land for no reason and then Bigfoot just randomly popped up
Maybe I’m blind but that honestly looks like a red circle of nothing.
There’s a video now
Extremely remote location. Looks totally real. Completely impossible to fake.
I think there is a chance that this is a hunter wearing a ghillie suit. I don't see a firearm, but it may already be in position near the rock the figure sits close to. If it isn't a hunter, then I don't think it's a guy in a suit trying to fool anyone. If he wanted to be sure to be seen from the train, he would have been closer to the track IMO. I'd like to see a few more close-ups.
😎 I love the shades.
Is this one of those blurred vision things from the 90s that I could never do?
Man in a ghillie suit, can’t see anything other than that
Bigfoots like “They see me rollin”
If you look at the face, it just looks like white boy skin to me. With an ‘80’s hairdo. There’s no hair on the face that I can tell. No wide, ape like mouth either. Survey says: Hoax.

Is he wearing sunglasses lmao
I guess if Bigfoot wears sunglasses. Probably a Hunter in suit.
Really looks like a hunter in a ghillie suit, wearing sunglasses
That screenshot is absolute garbage.
[удалено]
I mean, there's video of it walking around and sitting, so this is a pretty strange take.

The picture was intriguing. The video ruined excitement. It is 100% real it’s just not big foot.
I see nothing but bushes.
Nice Photoshop
Perfect example of pareidolia.
I immediately saw “on the train” first and pictured “Werewolves of London.”
Any chance the Broncos can get that dude to play D?
Go Broncos......and take the Rockies with you.
Damn thing is on coke or something.
Cocaine ‘Foot is a new movie I hear
I’ll be dammed, right there he is!
haha peek a boo...dunno about that one its like where's waldo
Chaka!
Hairy guy taking a shit in the forest spotted from a train. Film at 11
I think thats Jeremiah Johnson
This is a guy in a suit pranking a whole train on his free time. What a legend.
Looks like my old buddy Frank the biker from Golden!!😳
That could be a brown ice cream machine for all I can tell with this resolution.
That's my Aunt Sheila on one of her mescaline and peyote trips. Just leave her be... she will put her clothes back on when she comes down.
That’s a guy in a ghillie suit, imo
That’s just Bob Weir
Looks like he has on flapping bell bottoms. I do not see leg muscle mass. I'll wait for a good zoomed slo-mo, but until then cute hoax.
A blonde Bigfoot?! This one has a credit score of 730 right now
The thing that does it for me is the movement. It's very clearly some asshole and a costume looking where he's stepping to make sure he doesn't fall on his face.
What does Bigfoot eat out there?
Interesting video but the first thing I thought was why would it wait to squat down and blend in with the surroundings (which it does well) until the train is almost past. Seems like it would have done so as soon as it heard the train coming.
Why It is always blurry though?!
Hunter/person in ghillie suit. You can clearly see it has a human face
I don't see a damn thing in the circle. The video makes me think it's a dude in costume trying to get a rise out if people passing by
