Hiker Shares Video Of Encounter With 'Bigfoot' In Woods

A fella reckons he's caught 'proof' of a bigfoot-type creature out in the woods in Oregon.

Posting on TikTok hiker Mike Bodewitz, whose username is @mike_bodewitz, said the sasquatch was watching him from behind a tree and claimed this wasn't the first time it happened.

In the clip, Mike says: "I was walking down the ravine in the brush, when I noticed the sasquatch watching me.

"There he is right there - I can't tell if it's male or female.

"It's clearly watching me. It's hard to see any, kind of, facial features - it's dark and he's peeking out of the brush.

"A lot of people say, 'oh it's a stump' but this part is actually really high off the ground. I was actually walking downhill, so this is actually really high off the ground.

"There's no way a stump could be that tall and I clearly saw it with my own eyes that it was a sasquatch.

"I didn't want to get any closer to make it nervous or anything but it's clearly watching and keeping an eye on me.

"I felt that I needed to back away and kind of move back up the hill and give it some space."

I mean, I won't lie - I can't see what Mike actually thinks is the sasquatch, perhaps that sort of dark shape? But whatever it is, he seems fairly convinced doesn't he?

And others agreed, with one follower commenting: "I see it. They are definitely there."

Another chipped in with their own story, writing: "Saw one years ago. They are fast. Really fast. It took off up a steep hill like nothing I've ever seen. Wish I had more than a flip phone then."

Another wrote: "For the non-believers.. Bigfoot is out there! Alive, elusive and thriving in our forest. FACT!"

Just as a quick disclaimer, I'm not sure that is actually a fact in the traditional sense of the word, but don't let that stop you looking next time you're out and about.

Mike went on to say that in the past he's even had them make noises to try and warn him to stay back.

When asked by one follower how near he managed to get, he replied: "I was probably about 25 to 30 feet maybe.

"I have had them make noises to tell me I'm too close or not wanted."
