Footage of a hairy 'creature' running through a forest in America has sceptics and believers debating whether it could be a Bigfoot sighting.
A video uploaded to YouTube in April shows a creature covered in dark hair running across a path in North East Ohio's Grand River area.
The person filming appears to be riding a motorbike through the woods when 'Bigfoot' runs across the path.
The rider then appears to crash into some nearby bushes, apparently startled by the sight.
While the video was uploaded by news site HowTo101Channel, it has only gone viral in recent weeks with believers suggesting it is proof of Bigfoot's existence.
The footage is drowned out by the sound of the motorbike so it is unclear if the driver screams when they see if crossing in front of them.
"What I find amazing is the reaction of the person riding the bike. It's a clear indication he/she was really startled because they basically crashed into the bushes. Why would you react like that if it's a fake?" one person posted on Youtube.
Others have been a little more skeptical.
"There's no way this could be a guy in a suit is there?" another wrote.

Very common now. The technology has grown rapidly and now we have people wearing camara's while dirt bike riding, skydiving, rock climbing, just about every extreme adventuring you can think of.

Filming
The camera is mounted on the bike bars because of the angle of vision... but the "bigfoot" looks a bit like a hollywood outfit and the movement of said creature is not fluid but jerky...forest creatures have a forest gait...that one had sidewalk gait.

Cameras On Motorcycles
Are actually fairly common nowadays, both of my parents ride with cameras all the time just in case something happens. Also the strides that the being takes seems to be consistent with other bigfoot videos.
There's always the possibility of a hoax, but I'm betting this one is real. The guardians of the forest are everywhere after all!

Step...
1: Rent a gorilla suit
2: Bring your friend into the woods on the back of your motor bike which has a camera attached to it
3: Drop him off and tell him to walk across the path as he hears you approaching
4: Drive up the path and when you see 'Bigfoot' act startled and quickly turn around
5: Upload to Youtube
Voila
If the rider wasn't expecting that he would have kept going.
He stopped and turned too quickly to not have been expecting it.
ANY animal I have encountered along a road stops and looks at where the noise/lights are coming from and then hastily makes its way away...
C'mmmon like, really? Does it not seem even just a tad staged to you? Or are peoples beliefs not allowing themselves to question it thoroughly?

I'm not sure but I think I can see the creature holding a stick perhaps, at about 28s into the vid.
Also just a subjective opinion, but the gait is reminiscent of a human. OSIT

the more I look...
That's right; the camera follows the movements of the bike bars and seems to be well-stabilized -
Having seen this clip several times already (it keeps me occupied:) ):
instead of BF - I payed attention to the driver's reactions with respect
to the appearance of the creature and have found it quite crucial:
- BF appears left - the driver turns abruptly to the right
(natural reflex to react in the opposite direction to the danger)
- BF crosses the path, runs to the right - immediately the driver turns
in the opposite direction and turns to the left -
- then he makes a U-turn and runs away !...
The whole incident lasted for ca 1.5 - 2 s only !
I think it couldn't be performed so fast without 'training' -
therefore the only explanation to the driver's fast reaction
is the natural/spontaneous/fear-driven response to the 'true' danger -
The more I look - the more the incident appears plausible to me

"...appears to be riding a motorbike through the woods when 'Bigfoot' runs across the path. "
Indeed it sound like a motobike, but -
hmmm... _riding_ and _filming_ in the same time ?...
