Brooklyn is Bigfoot’s Backyard?

Take a look and tell me your thoughts. I am no expert, but this is pretty compelling stuff. I am baffled how this creature could be in Brooklyns Prospect Park.

Bigfoot might live in Prospect Park!

A Fort Greene videographer claims to have shot footage showing the legendary Sasquatch lumbering around a wooded area of Brooklyn’s backyard near the Prospect Park Zoo during Monday’s snowstorm.

“I don’t know what it is, but it looks like Bigfoot,” a man going by the name Russell Strark said. “I don’t know what to say, man, I’ve never seen something like this.”

Strark said he was working to launch a YouTube channel featuring time-lapse videos of Brooklyn and had set up several cameras to catch the snowfall on Monday. But he said he never bargained for what turned up on one of the memory cards.

The clip shows a still forest scene with snow falling around 7 am. Enter a tall, dark figure on the left side of the screen. It crouches to dig in the snow for a moment, then walks down a hill in the center of the frame and out of sight.

The bipedal beast walks with a distinct hunch, and Strark said the way it scoops up the snow reminds him of an animal digging for nuts, or a rodent digging a hole. It is unclear if the humanoid-or-simian creature is wearing clothes, but Strark said he takes the dark material covering its body to be hair. He rejected the notion that the being might be a homeless person, or his buddy dressed up in a Bigfoot costume.

“I think it’s his posture, and the way he doesn’t have on anything that looks like a mask or a jacket,” he said. “He’s covered in hair and looks like he’s scavenging around. I don’t think it’s just some bum.”

Strark said he is far from a conspiracy theorist, but has no other explanation for the figure his camera recorded.

“I don’t believe in the horoscope let alone a f—— bigfoot,” he said.

Strark is a bit of a mystery himself. The video is the first on his YouTube account, and profile photos accompanying that account and his e-mail address picture NBC News investigative reporter Jeff Rossen. Searches for “Russell Strark” on Facebook, Twitter, and white‌pages.com did not yield any results, and Strark declined to provide further proof of his identity.
