this clip falsifies many previous claims of the alledged bigfoots intelligence , cunning , stealth abilities , perceptivness abilities to evade humans etc etc
you cannot have it both ways
I'm not saying that this video is genuine, but I disagree. Humans, when they are in their youth and young adulthood are some of those things you mentioned, but when they become elderly their abilities decline. You would expect to see the same thing in a population of an unknown ape species. As they age you would expect to see some of the same effects of aging that you wold see in humans; stiff joints, poor eye sight, slower cognitive abilities, and possibly even the loss of color in there hair.

Its a pretty good video BUT... It put the willies up me.... So the fact that it did freak me out a bit and the guys lack of reaction plus the lack of eye glare does make me thinks its a fake...
Here's why...
1. The video was too scary, I never get freaked out by videos of animals at night so I get the feeling the the film was staged to evoke a fearful reaction.
2. the guys reaction... I know I cant assume to know how he would react BUT his reaction sounded like bad acting and wasn't what I would expect from any normal human (an I have no evidence to say that this guy wasnt normal)
3. The lack of eye glare... Clearly this is meat to be an animal that's active at night, therefore it WOULD have the tapetum lucidum layer in its eye OR IT WOULDNT BE ABLE TO SEE......
No bigfoot would survive in Pennsylvania. Ever. Someone would have bagged it in deer season.

Ha Ha! Most correct, I've hunted around Carbondale years ago. There is no chance of it surviving. At the least, it would have been spotted by a hunter over the years. Maybe they can get a get a group together and put a drive on for it.
Not many deer make it out of a drive, let alone something that size and white yet. In open woods white sticks out like a sore thumb.

The subject of Bigfoot is probably my favorite out of all mysterious topics, and I have pored over lots of evidence in a variety of forms. The problem with this video is that the creature being depicted does not harbor the features that have been accepted as accurate for a Sasquatch. Mainly the shape of the head is too round, and the creature lacks the girth one would expect, even from a juvenile. Most people fail to realize the sheer size and width of one of these creatures, and this misconception is how I can label many videos hoaxes. But there are always exceptions to the rule.
So, what other evidence do we have to go on? Well, I cannot help but ask the question of who goes around filming the ground at night? Context is very important when evaluating any video or photographic evidence, because it will be either natural or unnatural, at least in my opinion. This to me is unnatural. They also picked an albino creature. It is hard enough to believe a dark-colored Bigfoot exists, much less an albino. But, I know some of you will say that if Bigfeet (lol) do exist, then why wouldn't there be an albino. This is the same as saying since there is one, there can be others. Makes sense I suppose, but I still don't buy the albino Bigfoot, although I remember some reports that had come out of the South involving a white hairy creature.
Another problem with the video, which is inconsistent when compared with the patterns that have emerged from sighting compilations, is that the creature just stands there until the guy walks right on top of him. No way. Creatures like Bigfoot, if they exist, have excelled at avoiding humans at all costs, probably for fear of harm. It is probably a trait that has been bred into them some time long ago. In my opinion, if that was a bigfoot, he would have been long gone before the guy thrashing through the forest even got within 50 yards.
I rushed this response, but I don't think I missed any of the major points. If so, I may edit later. So ya, that's my analysis and I'm sticking to it.edit on 8/6/11 by JiggyPotamus because: (no reason given)

The creature in the video sure looks a lot like this Yeti costume;
