The alleged creature’s appearance varies, however, it’s usually described as around six to 15 feet tall, with footprints measuring anything from eight to 24 inches.

Most scientists do not recognize its existence, with it thought of as a hoax or an animal, possibly a bear.

But one man’s footage of the alleged Bigfoot has gone viral on social media, leaving many convinced.

Over the years, Bigfoot enthusiasts have put forward various levels of evidence to back up the claim the creature exists.

So convinced by its existence, some people have collected hair samples and casts of large footprints. Others have shared photographs, videos, and audio recordings.

One such video made Bigfoot a household name.

In 1967, the Patterson-Gimlin short motion picture became a universal symbol for Sasquatch believers.

Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin captured grainy footage – which lasts less than a minute – of an unidentified being lumbering in the wilderness.

Yet more recent footage of the alleged creature is said to be even more convincing.

Josh Highcliff took to YouTube in October 2013 and shared chilling footage of himself in a swamp.

In the video’s description, he wrote: “I was out hunting hogs, just sitting in a part of the swamp I have heard ’em before… It is not too far from a road.

“I was wearing hunting camo and just sitting dead still waiting for it to get dark, ’cause that’s when the hogs come out.

“I hear a noise behind the tree I was sitting on, I thought it was the hogs when I got around I could not believe my own two eyes.”

After watching the clip, people have taken to the comments and shared their disbelief.

One viewer writes: “This video has to be the most authentic video I’ve ever seen other than the Patterson and Gimlin video.”

Another adds: “Honestly, this is probably the best footage ever recorded. Amazing that it’s not talked about more.”

“It looks so natural like it’s in its element. When you hear the crack of the wood when it rips it out it sounds like it’s got some real strength. Pretty convincing…one of the best BF videos I’ve seen,” someone else says.

A fourth person comments: “I think we have a squatch caught off its guard here, [a] pretty rare sight.”

The video, which accumulated over 1.3 million views, seemingly shows a large creature ripping bark off a tree trunk and throwing it to the ground.

Unlike most alleged sightings of Bigfoot, this particular footage was captured in the swamps of Mississippi.
