Videos provide a much more finite response: fake or compelling. But which are legitimate? Here are a few surprisingly clear, but highly controversial videos of alleged Bigfoot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#1 Blinky<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xHcC6WbwuUw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Todd Standing is a Bigfoot wildcard. Most people met this Canadian Sasquatch researcher on the inaugural episode of Survivorman Bigfoot. Todd led Survivorman Les Stroud on a scouting expedition to his <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.travelnordegg.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">personal hotspot<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Bigfoot activity in Alberta, Canada. He also provided a compelling video of a Sasquatch face. At the end of the clip, the creature actually blinks! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one has debunked Todds clip&#8230; and honestly, I believe he experienced a lot of strange behavior out there in the middle of nowhere, Bigfoot or not. Unfortunately, for most, he reeks of fakery. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/media.texasbigfoot.com\/SylvanicVideoExamination_Poling&amp;Falconer_Aug2014.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skeptics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> identified perceived cracks in the video. Most amusingly, Todd&#8217;s actual face lines up really well with that of the subject, &#8220;Blinky.&#8221; Additionally, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/squatchdetective.wordpress.com\/2014\/04\/26\/analysis-in-todd-standings-blinking-bigfoot\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">camera and lighting aficionados<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> argued that a perfect, controlled environment was essential to the quality of this video. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what could it be? A custom, animatronic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfootbase.com\/shop\/bigfoot-gifts-merchandise\/sasquatch-statues\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sasquatch statue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? A furry Todd Standing-mask with a hint of CGI-manipulation? Or&#8230; the real deal? <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><br \/>\n#2 Whitey<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U7g4xtScS5U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the story goes, the townsfolk of Carbondale, Pennsylvania experienced sightings of this all white Bigfoot for years before this video surfaced. One night in 2010, a man heard a disturbance in his wooded backyard. He captured this one-second video of an all-white, two-legged, broad-shouldered, cone-headed, Yeti-looking beast with completely black eyes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, Carbondale is known historically for its Appalachian <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.caseyhistory.com\/ui46.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mines<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Could this beaming subterranean housing market be a perfect spot for a population of Sasquatch? And is this the same creature that townsfolk reportedly encounters for years leading up to the event? Or, of course, could this simply be uncle Rick in a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfootbase.com\/shop\/bigfoot-costumes\/yeti\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeti costume<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions persist. Why would this creature allow a human to crash through the woods on a direct path to it? The clip possesses too much of a horror-movie, \u2018Blair Witch\u2019 flair to be real. With only a shaky claim of widespread townsfolk encounters (the BFRO lists <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bfro.net\/GDB\/state_listing.asp?state=pa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">zero reports<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Lackawanna County), no footprints, and no follow-up, the clip feels fragile and unauthentic. As with any Bigfoot video floating out in the internet, there are unlimited holes to poke. This is a great example of clarity, yet question marks. The real question for any unbelievable visual account: can your video withstand the scrutiny? <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b><br \/>\n#3 Window Peeker <\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/onlJXLD01-Y\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is the only background we know of the footage, according to the uploader Beautifulplanet (a terminated Youtuber):<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;\u201cEvery year the fruit just seemed to disappear overnight off my apple pear trees. Also the birdseed used to vanish without a trace. I thought it was raccoon or something and so I set up a camera. This is what was caught on camera. You can make up your own mind as to what it is.\u201d&#8221; <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u2018thing\u2019 appears very cat-like. I&#8217;ve heard reports about Dog-men, but never anything feline. The glowing eyes are very unique and clear. There are actually <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youknowit.com\/costume-contact-lenses\/rave-glow-contact-lenses.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018rave contacts\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that glow when exposed to black lights. I would say that unless the person had a black light in their mask, these eyes are either computer-generated\u2026. Or real. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strangely, when the brightness of the footage is taken up a few notches, there are no other facial features of the creature. It&#8217;s basically two, large floating eyes on top of a black, hairy face. If this subject is a real animal or human hybrid, one would think normal features would be present, like a nose, mouth, or even brow. Instead, it looks like a werewolf mask turned around with eyeholes cut in it: an interesting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bigfootbase.com\/shop\/bigfoot-costumes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">costume<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> no doubt. Then again, there are many accounts of jet-black Bigfoot&#8230; so dark that they only appeared as hairy, black shapes; even when the witnesses glimpse their face. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Joy of Hoaxing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are definite motivations to hoax these videos. I am actually fascinated by the hoaxing mind and believe there are groups of friends out there who get together a couple times a year and spend a lot of time crafting their delivery. In the case of the \u2018Window Peeker\u2019, it could easily be a video editing enthusiast practicing their glowing eye skills. We&#8217;re talking about it right now, right? And a &#8220;window + Bigfoot&#8221; search on Youtube populates YOUR video dozens of times!!! You&#8217;re subtly Youtube-famous and you receive ongoing critique on your work. With a mask and just the right lighting, I believe anything is possible.
