Breakdown: The Craven Bigfoot Footage
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on January 24th, 2014
Hi all. The footage I found on YT, the Craven Sasquatch film, has been broken down by Para Breakdown and well, I have to say he makes some interesting observations. First of all, and most importantly, he shows that the area in and around Craven, Saskatchewan, is devoid of forest and cover in which Sasquatch could hide. This is something I stupidly overlooked (we all make mistakes, lol) Also, I have to say that when I mentioned a family was out for a drive, I naturally assumed the ‘we’ that the filmer mentioned was a family. With Para’s observations about lack of forest cover, I have to reluctantly say I now have my personal doubts about the video. This is a major factor to the film and needs to be considered Thanks to Para for these observations.

Does this really show a Sasquatch wandering around by the roadside?

bigfoots are supposed to be big… and have big stride lengths…. the stride length doesn’t seem to be anything unusual…. looked just like a person to me.
When I see a video abruptly stop, my “Spidey-sense” starts tingling. I think that if the rest of the video was played, it’d clearly show a human in a hoodie. I agree with dconstrukt, looks just like a person, moves like a person, ergo, it’s a person.
There are some good things in this video. Such as the movement and the overall shape. However, we don’t see enough of the body (especially the legs/feet) to get a good idea of scale, stride length, etc. This could be a 5 foot tall man or a 9 foot tall man. Can’t tell. But (as always) where is the context? Did the family see the subject, then pull over? Get out of the car? When did they start/stop filming. It all looks just too “clean”. Interesting but I’m afraid it can’t be more than that.
I don’t know what’s gotten people so optimistic about this footage. We only see a small portion of the creature’s body in the video and what we do see is just a blob – no distinguishable features or any details for that matter. Same thing we’ve seen a hundred times before.
Dkonstruct and bigfoot lives, neither of you address the physiology of the subject.
A person in a hoodie doesn’t have high shoulders and no neck.
So, how can you say it looks like a person?
What is observable is NOT human looking, unless the “person” walks around with a permanent shrug of the shoulders-but then you have to answer how the shoulders still look so wide.
The gait is the only thing that’s un-“squatchy” to me.
But if the ground is sloping there and not flat, then you can’t be sure how a creature would walk there either.
sasquatch – could be an outfit…. its in canada no? its pretty cold…. people wear HUGE jackets and whatnot.
plus they might have been trying to hoax people… so make the jacket and whatnot “look” bigfootish.
what i think you’re missing is this:
you’re talking about an animal/thing that is 30-50% taller and 50-200% HEAVIER than a normal human.
think about this long and hard.
the gait and way it walks would be VERY obvious vs a normal person.
This video doesn’t show that.
it shows something like a normal dude walking.
HUGE RED FLAG.
Also if these things are wanting to stay hidden…. walking on a road with NOISE isn’t in the memo. It would do the opposite and stay away from the noises.
Fairly convincing. The morphology of what we do see in the video is consistent with the mass and structure of a mature Sasquatch body form, which “sasquatch” mentions above. You might want to compare this video to the Timbergiantbigfoot video Jim recently took in his southern Ontario research area, as both display very similar upper body characteristics. Uneven ground below the camera line can result in any manner of locomotion anomalies, especially while walking on a downward grade. The area itself is in no way unusual insofar as suitability for foraging and following the food supply. While open prairie may not be ideal as a denning area it is potentially productive for the solo Sasquatch foraging and hunting. All in all a great video worth viewing.
Perhaps the best sasquatch film since patterson !
The creature moves powerfully across the landscape and deals competently with the unknown rough terrain before vanishing into thick scrub. To those especially, who joke about this event, like I mean where does Sasquatch hide in a wheatfield ? I see no wheatfields in this film and enough scrub to hide a small army and I am sure there is much much more including swamps and river systems.
A great shame there has been no follow up and even now it is not entirely too late. The site could probably be identified. It would seem to be a wonderfull opportunity at the very least, for Bobo to compare his biceps and his height with the creature. A more sophisticated research effort would of course be better if not so entertaining.
I dont rule out a hoax of course but thats a risk that has to be taken in any work involving sasquatch But where there is evidence not be put off by not giving it proper respect.
Hopefully we will hear more about this case as it does seem to be very special.
