“The scariest moment of my life”

It was only a matter of time before Bigfoot became a TikTok star.

A content creator has reportedly captured the furry beast on video, which may be the clearest footage yet of the much-discussed, mythical beast.

The video has more than 1.2 million views on TikTok.

“I really think I caught King Bigfoot on camera,” @E_ManAlfaro explained in the caption of the short clip, which was filmed in the Parallel Forest in Lawton, Oklahoma.

The videographer wrote that he was “doing some sightseeing and enjoying the day” when he “saw something in the distance.”

The hiker allegedly came across the primate with podiatry by chance – which he described as “the scariest moment of my life.”

The 10-second footage shows the tufted orange creature leaning against a tree and sniffing flowers, like at the beginning of a Jack Link's beef jerky commercial.

Unlike the commercials, however, the videographer doesn't start “messing with Sasquatch.” In fact, at the end of the footage, the red-headed Shaggamuffin looks up, causing his gawker to exclaim, “Oh, shit!”

However, TikTok commenters could hardly believe the videographer was looking at Bigfoot.

“It's nice to see real footage of a real Bigfoot,” one troll jokingly wrote. “I firmly believe this is real. Thank you for sharing this.”

Some commenters noted that the so-called cryptozoological oddity looked eerily similar to the costume used in the aforementioned Beef Jerky advertisement.

One eagle-eyed viewer wrote: “Look up 'Jack Link's adult Sasquatch costume.'” It's identical.

“Where can I buy one of these costumes?” mocked another.

“I don’t think it’s a costume,” the original TikTok poster replied, insisting.

Meanwhile, one prankster quipped, “It can't be him, the REAL Bigfoot is blurry, y'all haven't seen the pictures,” to which the videographer replied, “That's why when I saw him I had to take a picture of him myself, except for you.” Me can see I was terrified of getting this footage.”

Although the outfit looks like a tragic Harry and The Hendersons costume from a Spirit Halloween store, it's a far cry from the grainy footage that has become synonymous with Bigfoot sightings of late.

In August, some tinfoil hatters on Reddit claimed they saw a galloping Sasquatch in the background of a 20-year-old nature documentary.
