The controversial footage that was taken in Oklahoma’s Parallel Forest has rekindled the long-running discussion regarding whether or not Bigfoot really exists. Many viewers are certain that this nine-second footage, which has received over 1.7 million views on TikTok, is the clearest sighting of the mythological monster yet. It depicts a big, shadowy figure gliding through thick woods.

A hiker in the Parallel Forest, in the Wichita Mountains near Lawton, Oklahoma, characterized his routine hiking excursion as a spine-tingling thrill, calling it the “scariest moment” of his life. He said, “I really think I caught a f-king Bigfoot on camera” in the post. “I was enjoying the day and exploring when I saw something out in the distance. Even now, as I write this, I’m trembling.”

Still, not everyone is convinced. The video has been quickly discounted by many, who label it as a fake or an instance of misidentification. “That seems like a costume. One user said, “Those feet don’t have any moving bones or muscles.

However, a lot of people insisted that the monster exists. One person said, “Bigfoot has been a part of our native culture for thousands of years.” “He is a five-dimensional entity in Lakota culture. For generations, we have devoted rituals and cave drawings to him. He doesn’t cease to exist just because society has forgotten about him.

The argument has spurred a contentious dispute on Bigfoot’s—also known as Sasquatch’s—existence. Despite the lack of scientific proof, the monster has become a legendary figure in American mythology.
