The recent sighting of a Bigfoot-like creature in the Rocky Mountains has sparked a debate among believers and skeptics.

In the isolated San Juan National Forest in Colorado, Shannon Parker and her husband Stetson captured images of a large, hairy creature walking on two legs through the scrub. The footage, which was posted on Facebook and later shared on X (formerly Twitter) by tourism company OutThere Colorado, shows the creature taking five strides before crouching down and looking around.

While some viewers believe the footage is evidence of Bigfoot’s existence, others remain skeptical. Some skeptics pointed out the human-like actions of the creature and the shine of its hair, suggesting that it may have been a person in a costume.

The sighting has attracted attention due to the inaccessibility of the area, which is only reachable by canoe or kayak. This raises questions about the feasibility of someone wearing a costume in such terrain.

The myth of Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, has been a topic of fascination for generations. Its origin is believed to stem from Native American stories of a giant, hair-covered ogre. The legend gained mainstream attention in 1958 when plaster casts of large footprints were discovered in northern California.

While the debate over Bigfoot’s existence continues, the recent sighting in the Rocky Mountains adds another chapter to the enduring legend.
