Initial data
On this day, 11 years ago (July 5, 2011), Stacy Bounds and his two children were camping at Crooked Oaks Rental Cabins in Oklahoma, USA, when they decided to record a lesson on how to cook marshmallows
However, their footage captured something much more unnerving.
While the guys are sitting by the campfire with marshmallows on sticks, a ghostly figure is moving behind them in the forest, which, according to many, may be the elusive bigfoot.
Matt Moneymaker, head of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, said:
"This video is very interesting. I knew we had to watch it not only because of what you see, but also because of the circumstances. These kids are shooting an educational video... the camera is clearly on a tripod. They don't seem to notice what's going on in the background. This thing is moving in the background, and I think it's standing upright."
The clip seems to have convinced several bigfoot supporters online.
The hosts of the American TV show "In Search of Bigfoot" visited the camp to study the footage.
Original news
On this day 11 years ago (July 5, 2011) Stacy Bounds and his two kids were camping at Crooked Oaks Rental Cabins in Oklahoma, US when they decided to record a tutorial on how to make marshmallow s'mores.
However, their footage (above) captured something much more unnerving.
As the lads sit around the fire with marshmallows on sticks, a shadowy figure can be seen moving in the forest behind them - which many reckon could be the elusive Bigfoot.
They only noticed the possible Bigfoot some days after the clip was recorded.
Matt Moneymaker, head of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organisation, said: "This video's very interesting. I knew we had to come check it out, not just because of what you see but what the circumstances were.
"These kids are doing an instructional video... the camera is obviously on a tripod. They don't seem to be aware of what's in the background.
"This thing moves in the background, and I think it's upright."
Several Bigfoot believers online were seemingly convinced by the clip.
One said: "That's a biggie no doubt. its extremely big and wide and runs so smoothly."
Another wrote: "It looked like a super ape hustling through the woods. Yeah I'd say they caught a bigfoot on camera without even trying!.. good job guys!"
A third said: "Whatever it is, it is fast and very smooth with its movements. The head is staying quite straight, with none of the "bobbing" you usually see with humans."
Hypotheses
Deliberate falsification
This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.
There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.
Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
