Famous Bigfoot footage stabilised by AI to make it clear what it actually is

Some of the most famous footage of Bigfoot looks a lot different when AI stabilised it

The mystery of Bigfoot has captured the imaginations of many for decades, and despite the fact most of the time it turns out to just be a bloke in an animal suit, the enthusiasm for tracking down the beast doesn't seem to waiver.

But now, thanks to AI technology, one of the most famous videos claiming to capture the creature has been 'stabilised', offering a clearer look at the hairy figure.

The footage in question was shot by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin in October 1967, and supposedly shows Bigfoot walking through Bluff Creek in California.

At one point in the footage, the hairy figure turns back to look at the camera, before carrying on.

The footage was the linchpin of the Bigfoot movement and has been frequently put forward as definitive proof of the existence of the humanoid beast.

The footage of Bigfoot was originally shot in 1967.

However, the infamous video has now been stabilised using AI technology, with the results shared on Twitter by Rowan Cheung.

Cheung, who documents developments in AI technology, accompanied the video with the caption: "Experts used AI and computer vision to stabilize viral footage of the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film from 1967."

Without the blurriness and shakiness of the original footage, Bigfoot starts to look like... a man in a gorilla suit. Who'd have thought it, eh?

Well, it's safe to say the video solicited a strong response from viewers, with one joking: "I bought that same suit for Halloween."

Another wrote: "This is the ai work we needed."

Meanwhile, a third weighed in: "Clearly a guy coming home in the morning after some strange costume party," with a fourth adding: "Just some bro out for a stroll."

Bigfoot - also commonly referred to as Sasquatch in Canadian and American folklore - is a large, hairy ape-like creature said to roam about in the woods.

They're probably right, to be fair.

Hundreds of images and videos claiming to show the lurking figure have emerged over the years, but some have actually suggested the evidence from a man named Josh Highcliff is the most convincing of all.

Highcliff's video, shot in Florida, appeared to show a hairy figure sitting by a lake.

His video was widely praised as the 'best' footage of Bigfoot around.

One user commented: "I think it's safe to say that this is actually one of the most real Bigfoot video out there.

"This doesn't look like some guy in a suit ripping a tree apart. That's some of the brute force right there. Ripping a tree ain't easy.

"This is definitely 100 percent real footage to me. No CGI, no video editing just pure Bigfoot video and I love it."

Another admirer wrote: "Honestly, this is probably the best footage ever recorded. Amazing that it’s not talked about more."

Whether or not AI would dampen the enthusiasm of Bigfoot watchers remains to be seen, but given that they've been on the lookout for the forest-roaming beast for over fifty years, I wouldn't bet on it.

In the meantime, maybe AI could have a crack at the Loch Ness Monster.
