A man walking his dogs through the snow-covered Sierra Nevada Mountains captured footage of a mysterious figure sprinting in the distance, sparking renewed debate over the existence of Bigfoot.
The Rocky Mountain Sasquatch Organization (RMSO) received the video from a man identified only as Bill, who said the sighting took place this past May in Coyote Ridge, California.
Bill had been recording his dogs playing in the snow when he noticed something moving on the left side of the frame.
‘The subject moves very smoothly, none or very little up and down,’ Bill shared with the Sasquatch research team.
‘At first, I didn’t think it was even moving its arms. However, after enlarging the section by 400 percent with the creature in it, I can see that it does move its arms.’
He also noted that one frame appeared to show a side profile of the figure, revealing what he described as a dome-shaped head.
However, some viewers were skeptical, saying the figure was too far away to be identified clearly and was likely a person hiding among the trees.

The video has since circulated online, reigniting interest among believers and skeptics alike.
While some dismiss the footage as inconclusive, others view it as compelling evidence of the legendary creature said to roam the wilderness of North America.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains is a hotspot for Bigfoot sightings with some researchers, like Ron Morehead, claiming to have collected audio recordings they believe capture Bigfoot vocalizations.
The vocals, according to these Sasquatch researchers, are a mix of human-like sounds and unique, unidentifiable noises.
The Sierra Nevada range, which stretches along eastern California and into Nevada, has had sporadic Bigfoot reports over the decades, particularly in remote forested areas like Yosemite National Park, Tahoe National Forest and Eldorado and Stanislaus National Forests.
Bill’s two dogs were playing near the tree line when they began to bark as if noticing something, or someone, moving in the forest.
However, it was not until Bill replayed the footage that he noticed what his dogs may have seen, Coast to Coast reported.

The most famous and still-debated piece of Bigfoot ‘evidence’ came in 1967, when Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson filmed a now-iconic clip of a large, furry figure striding through the woods at Bluff Creek (pictured)
‘One noteworthy aspect of the incident is that, beyond looking in the direction of the suspected Bigfoot, the dog does not bark at the interloper or offer any other kind of response before casually strolling away from the spot where it noticed the creature, the research team shared.
The RMSO also pointed to the figure’s unusual movement as a potential indicator of something non-human.
‘This Bigfoot creature, if you will, moved very fast when it didn’t have much cover,’ the group stated. ‘Then, once it reached cover, it seemed to hunker down to hide and observe those in its surroundings.’
Stories of large, hairy, human-like beings date back centuries in Indigenous cultures across North America, where the creature was known as ‘Sasquatch,’ meaning ‘wild man.’
The first widely publicized modern report of Bigfoot came in 1958, when Humboldt Times journalist Andrew Genzoli published a letter from a reader describing massive, mysterious footprints found near a logging site in Bluff Creek, California.
The letter sparked widespread public interest. Follow-up stories, some playfully referring to the creature as ‘Bigfoot,’ helped launch the legend into the mainstream.
The most famous, and still hotly debated, piece of alleged Bigfoot evidence emerged in 1967, when Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin captured a now-iconic video of a large, furry figure striding through the woods at Bluff Creek, California.
Known as the Patterson-Gimlin film, the footage was shot during the pair’s expedition to find the elusive creature.
Both men were on horseback when they rounded a bend and reportedly saw a towering, ape-like figure walking along a riverbed.
Startled, Patterson’s horse reared up. He quickly dismounted, grabbed his camera, and scrambled to film the figure, waving the camera with one hand while trying to keep the subject in frame.
The shot steadied just long enough to capture the moment the creature turned and looked over its right shoulder before vanishing into the trees.
Years later, Bob Heironimus, a retired Pepsi bottler from Yakima, Washington, claimed he was the person in the costume used to fake the footage.
However, Gimlin, who is still alive, has consistently denied that claim, maintaining that what he and Patterson saw that day was not a man in a suit, but Bigfoot.
