Father and son ‘catch Bigfoot on film’ in what they believe is proof the beast exists

A father and son duo have said they caught proof on camera that Bigfoot is real.

The pair shared their shocking discovery on the season four premiere of the History Channel’s ‘The Proof Is Out There.’

In each one-hour episode of the TV series, journalist Tony Harris takes viewers on in-depth journeys of unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, extinct species, or government leaks.

Harris brings in a team of experts to comment on the topics and help analyze the findings.

Harris has called the father and son’s video proof of Bigfoot, saying: “It’s been said that Bigfoot exhibits nocturnal behavior, perhaps to hunt or to avoid detection – but the cloak of darkness couldn’t hide the creature in the stunning footage you’re about to see, captured by two campers with a night vision camera.”

The late Stacy Brown Sr., a retired Army ranger, and his son Stacy Brown Jr. said they encountered Bigfoot in May 2012.

They had been camping in Torreya State Park in Bristol, Florida, at the time when they first started to hear noises. The men pulled out a thermal camera and started recording.

Stacy Jr. said: “We’d hear something running on our right and then something running on our left. And then it just stopped real quick.

“And then dad looked up at the tree and he’s like, ‘Oh I see something.’”

According to Stacy Jr., his dad noticed a black object peeking out behind the tree in the woods.

Stacy Jr. said: “I knew exactly what we had on camera. It was proof to me and my dad because who on a Tuesday night is a mile and a half into the woods running around with no flashlight.”

Experts on the show have said that the creature in the video appeared to be up to seven feet tall, and it didn’t appear to be a primate or a human wearing clothing.

Anthropologist Kathy Strain said on the show: “The way it comes out of the trees is what we call a groucho walk. It’s very typical of what witnesses say Bigfoot walks like.

“This strangely bent knee gait, it seems to be out of human proportions in the sense that you can’t see a neck. It has very beefy-looking arms. It has interesting legs that seem shorter than what you would see in humans.”

The experts have said the unknown creature in the video warrants further investigation.

Bigfoot sightings have been disputed for decades, with people speculating for years whether the creature is real.

A small California newspaper was one of the first to give Bigfoot a name and spark public interest about 60 years ago, and stories have circulated ever since.

The FBI has also conducted research into the Bigfoot phenomenon.
