‘Clearest ever photographs of Bigfoot’ captured peering at bloke by way of cabin window

“Bigfoot” has been caught on camera peering into a cabin in a dense forest.

The images, which have been circulating online are said to be the “clearest ever pictures” of the elusive beast. They were reportedly taken by a man staying in the Pacific Northwest in Washington, where sightings and encounters have been reported for thousands of years.

A video about the encounter was uploaded on YouTube by Unexplained Mysteries earlier this month and has attracted over 155,000 views. The narrator states: “While many consider Bigfoot to be nothing more than folklore, others are convinced that this elusive creature is very real.

“One man’s experience in a remote cabin in Washington has recently reignited the debate after he photographed what appears to be a Bigfoot peering through the window during the night.”

The man commented that he had been feeling the weight of modern life bearing down on him and so decided to escape to the forests of Washington.

“He booked a secluded cabin far from the nearest town…but as night fell on the second day of his stay, the peacefulness of his retreat would be shattered by an encounter he will never forget,” the narrator states.

The anonymous man explained that he was sitting by the fireplace late at night but as he prepared to head to bed, he glanced out of the window and froze at the sight of a hairy “un-human” face staring back at him.

He was momentarily “paralysed by fear” before grabbing his phone to take pictures. He said the creature seemed to be interested in him for a short time before slowly backing away from the window and disappearing into the night.

Meanwhile, the ordeal left the man wide awake, replaying the encounter over and over in his mind. He later uploaded the photographs to dedicated Bigfoot Facebook groups, convinced he’d captured proof that Bigfoot exists.

Many were supportive of his “life-altering experience,” and shared their own tales. Some said the images were the “most compelling” evidence they had ever seen.

Researchers even noted the creature’s distinct features, posture and the location of the sighting.

But sceptics picked up on the lack of video footage and the poor quality of the pictures with some arguing it could be a hoax to cause an online sensation.

The YouTube video documenting the incident attracted over 1,400 comments.

One said: “I come from South West Missouri and I can say there are things out there deep in the woods that can’t fully be explained.”

Another added: “Bigfoot is a real, living, and breathing, reclusive creature that’s been around for centuries. This was a rare moment captured with up close photos.”

While one said: “Those photos make the hairs on my neck stand up.”

But some were more sceptical.

One said: “Clearest image of a Chewbacca mask I’ve ever seen.”

“Epic prank pulled by the Airb&b owner,” wrote another.

One asked: “Why are the pictures always blurry?”

While one wrote: “Bigfoot! Quick. Get the camera from the 1990s.”

The legend of Bigfoot in Washington dates back long before European settlers arrived. Native American tribes have passed down stories of a large, hairy, human-like creature that lived in the forested mountains.

They were often described as benevolent yet powerful beings, respected yet feared by the tribes who deemed them guardians of the forest

The earliest recorded sightings were in 1884 when settlers reported seeing a mysterious ape-like creature.
