One couple’s recent train ride through scenic Colorado quickly took a sharp turn for the folkloric after the pair appeared to capture what may be the first-ever non-potato-filmed footage of Bigfoot wandering through the Rocky Mountain State wilderness.

“On Sunday, October 8, 2023, Stetson Tyler and I took the Narrow Gauge train ride from Durango to Silverton. After leaving Silverton and heading back to Durango, I asked Stetson to help me look for elk in the mountains,” Shannon Parker, who came across the shocking sight with her husband, Stetson, recalled in a recent Facebook post.


“As we are passing by the mountains, Stetson sees something moving and then says I think it’s Bigfoot,” she continued, noting that only “three or four” of the train's “hundreds” of passengers witnessed the possible cryptid. “I don’t know about y’all but We Believe!!”



Though Parker definitely appeared to believe, others weren’t sold on the clip’s legitimacy.


“if i saw Bigfoot i would simply zoom the camera in and take a high resolution photo of him,” wrote @kirawontmiss.


“I like how this is literally the best footage of Bigfoot in almost 60 years and it’s still unconvincing,” @Trey_Explainer captioned a repost of the video.



Meanwhile, Redditor u/PauleyMak, who claimed to live “45 minutes south” of where the video was snapped, had a more concrete argument for why they doubted the clip, citing one local business owner’s penchant for cryptic cosplay.




“I live 45 minutes south of Silverton in Durango,” they commented on a post shared to r/StrangeEarth. “There is a well known expedition trailer company called Sasquatch Expedition Trailers based out of there. The owner regularly dresses up as Sasquatch.”


But whether or not the creature caught on camera was Bigfoot or just some dude in a very convincing costume, one thing is for sure — to paraphrase u/SauerMetal If Sasquatch is real he is most definitely “gamey but delicious.”
