New footage allegedly shows recent sighting of Bigfoot in Idaho - and people are baffled

A YouTube channel has shared footage claiming to feature a Bigfoot sighting in Idaho and fanatics of the mythical creature are truly baffled.

Nv Tv, a channel on YouTube with 104,000 subscribers, posted a video on August 26, allegedly showing a creature that some believe to be the large, ape-like creature of North American folklore, "Bigfoot".

For those unaware of the legendary creature, Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, supposedly inhabits various American forests.

Check out the video here:

The text that accompanies the footage of the "creature" reads: "The Bigfoot in this video looks very real and you can even make out the heavy build and all the muscles which is hard to replicate using a fake suit... Plus who in their right mind would rent or buy a suit just to pull off a hoax?"

It continues: "This simply can not be a man in a suit only because there is so much detail in the body and it looks MASSIVE in size."

A number of Bigfoot fanatics have since responded to the claims in the video, which has currently been viewed 129,925 times on YouTube.

Paul Seaburn of MysteriousUniverse.org said: "Whatever this is, it’s BIG. Big head, big butt, big body, thick legs, large arms. That would have to be a pretty large human to be a person inside of a costume."

He continued: "Along those lines, if it was a human in a costume, its wardrobe assistant managed to find one with a pretty snug fit.

"You don’t see Bigfoot impersonators in costumes that realistic... if this is what Bigfoot really looks like. The gait is a normal walking gait - nothing bearish or ape-like about it.”

On UnexplainedMysteries.com, a more skeptical commenter weighed in, saying: "Very little is actually known about the video or where it came from and there doesn’t seem to be an explanation for why the person who recorded it stopped filming after such a short period of time.

"The video caption notes that the level of detail present in the 'suit' makes it unlikely to be a hoax, however, without additional background information it’s impossible to say what’s going on."
