Trail Camera Caught A Huge Bigfoot Walking Towards My Cabin

A few months ago, I came across some trail camera footage online that stopped me in my tracks. The post showed two short clips of what appeared to be a massive Bigfoot walking through the woods in broad daylight, captured on motion activated cameras positioned near someone’s remote cabin. The original poster claimed this creature had walked directly toward his property.

And that same day, he heard heavy footsteps circling his cabin from multiple directions. Then, just as mysteriously as the footage appeared, the poster vanished from the forum with no followup, no additional evidence, and no explanation. What I saw in those clips has haunted me ever since. I want to walk you through what this footage shows, what the original poster claim happened, and why this case bothers me more than most Bigfoot sightings I’ve researched over the years.

Something about these clips feels different from the usual grainy, questionable videos that circulate online, but the lack of follow-up raises serious questions about authenticity. Is this genuine footage of an unknown creature or is there something else going on here? Let me break it down for you.

The original poster explained that he had three trail cameras positioned around his property in a heavily forested area. These cameras were motion activated set to record short clips whenever movement triggered the sensors. The first clip he shared runs for 10 seconds total, though the Bigfoot itself is only visible for about 3 seconds of that footage.

This is actually a common issue with trail cameras, and it’s important to understand why. Motion detection cameras don’t start recording instantly. There’s a delay between when something enters the detection zone and when the camera actually begins capturing footage. Usually, this lag is just a second or two, but it means the camera often catches subjects midaction rather than from the beginning.

In this case, the Bigfoot was probably already walking through the detection zone when the camera triggered. So, by the time recording started, the creature was already partway through the frame. What the footage shows is striking. This is daytime footage, not night vision, which immediately makes it more valuable than most trail camera captures.

The lighting is natural forest daylight filtering through the trees, creating that dappled effect you get in wooded areas. A large dark figure walks through the frame from right to left at a steady, purposeful pace. The creature appears to be massive, easily 7 to 8 ft tall, based on comparison with surrounding trees and vegetation.

The Bigfoot is covered in dark fur or hair moving on two legs with a distinctive bipedal gate that looks neither fully human nor fully apeike. The arms swing naturally at the sides proportionally longer than human arms would be. You can see the powerful build even from a distance. The broad shoulders, the thick torso, the way it moves through the forest with apparent ease and familiarity.

This isn’t something stumbling or cautious. It’s walking like it owns these woods. After those 3 seconds of visibility, the Bigfoot walks out of frame to the left. The camera continues recording for the remaining 7 seconds, showing empty forest. This is standard behavior for trail cameras, which are typically programmed to record for a preset duration after triggering, even if the subject has already left the frame.

The original poster noted that based on the direction of travel, the creature appeared to be heading directly toward his cabin. The second clip came from a different trail camera positioned roughly a 1/4 mile away from the first one, covering a different trail on the same property. According to the poster’s timeline, this footage was captured approximately 8 minutes before the first clip.

Again, this is daytime footage with natural lighting. The clip runs for 5 seconds with the Bigfoot visible for approximately four of those seconds. This second angle shows the creature walking along what appears to be a more defined trail or path, but this time it passes behind two large trees that momentarily obstruct the view. What’s interesting about this partial obstruction is that it actually provides reference points for judging size and movement.

When the Bigfoot passes behind the trees, you can gauge its height relative to known objects. The creature appears tall enough that its head and shoulders remain visible even when the tree trunks block the torso. The movement is consistent with the first clip. That same steady, confident walking pace with natural arm swing and weight transfer.

The original poster noted that if you trace the path between these two camera locations, the Bigfoot was moving in a roughly southeast direction. It passed the second camera first and continued through the woods, then passed the first camera 8 minutes later, heading toward the cabin.

The distance and timing suggest a walking speed of about 2 mph, which matches what you’d expect from something with a much longer stride than a human. What makes these two clips compelling together is the consistency. Same general build and size, same dark coloration, same purposeful movement pattern, same time of day, different angles and locations, but clearly the same creature making a deliberate journey across this property.

If these clips are genuine, they document a big foot traveling with clear intentionality through someone’s land in the middle of the day. Along with the footage, the original poster shared his account of what happened that day. He explained that he discovered these clips when he checked his trail camera SD cards during his regular rounds.

The timestamps showed both clips were from the same afternoon, just minutes apart. He hadn’t been home when the Bigfoot walked past his cameras, having been away at work in town. But here’s where things get interesting. The poster said that same afternoon, after he returned home, he experienced something deeply unsettling.

Starting around early evening and continuing for several hours, he heard heavy footsteps circling his cabin. Not from one direction, but from multiple directions over the course of the evening. North, east, south, west. The sound suggested something large, moving on two legs, walking deliberately around his property.

He described the footsteps as too heavy and too purposeful to be deer or other common wildlife. The pattern was wrong. Deer move in groups, make different sounds, don’t circle structures repeatedly. Bears can walk on two legs briefly, but don’t maintain that gate for extended periods.

What he heard sounded like something bipedal, something massive, making multiple passes around his home while he was inside. The detail that struck me most was his observation about the multiple directions.

The trail camera footage shows one Bigfoot traveling in a specific direction. But if the poster heard movement from various points around his cabin over several hours, it suggests either this creature was deliberately circling the property or there were multiple Bigfoots in the area.

The poster himself seemed to lean toward the latter explanation, suggesting perhaps a family group or small population.

He mentioned that he considered going outside to investigate the sounds, but decided against it. Smart choice. Probably when you’re hearing something that large and unknown moving around your isolated cabin, discretion makes sense. He said he finally fell asleep late that night, and by morning, the sounds had stopped.

When he ventured outside at first light, he found disturbed undergrowth and some possible tracks in soft ground, but nothing definitive enough to photograph convincingly.

The online response to this footage was immediate and intense. Within hours of posting, dozens of people were analyzing the clips frame by frame, debating authenticity, demanding more information.

Some commenters were convinced this was genuine Bigfoot footage, pointing to the natural movement, the consistent appearance across two clips, the daytime lighting that made details clearer than usual night vision captures.

Skeptics raised predictable concerns. Could this be someone in a costume? The person in a suit explanation is always the first counterargument for Bigfoot footage, and sometimes it’s correct.

But several commenters noted that the build and proportions didn’t look quite right for a human in costume. The arms seemed too long, the shoulders too broad, the overall size too massive. Others pointed out that faking footage with two separate cameras would require more planning and effort than typical hoaxes.

Many people asked practical questions. What was the exact location? Could the poster share GPS coordinates? Would he be willing to guide researchers to the site? Could he set up additional cameras to capture more footage? What about casting any footprints he might find? Had he experienced anything similar before?

The poster responded to some initial questions, confirming the location was in a mountainous region with dense forest, but he declined to give specific coordinates, citing privacy concerns and worry about people trespassing on his property.

One commenter claimed to be a wildlife biologist and offered to analyze the footage more thoroughly if the poster could provide the original video files rather than the compressed versions posted online. The poster said he would consider it, but needed time to think about the implications.

Another commenter suggested the poster contact specific Bigfoot research organizations that maintain confidentiality for witnesses. The poster thanked them for the information, but didn’t commit to reaching out.

Several people shared their own experiences from the same general region. One person described hearing similar woodknocking sounds while camping in the area years before. Another claimed to have found enormous footprints near a creek during a hunting trip. A third mentioned unexplained howls that didn’t match any known wildlife.

These supportive testimonials suggested a pattern of unusual activity in the region, which if true would lend credibility to the poster footage.

Here’s where this case takes its most frustrating turn.

Roughly two weeks after posting the footage, the original poster simply vanished from the forum. His account went inactive. He stopped responding to questions and comments. No follow-up footage appeared. No additional information was shared. No explanation was given for his departure.

The thread remained active with people speculating about why he disappeared, but the poster himself never returned.

This lack of follow-up is one of the most common and most problematic aspects of alleged Bigfoot footage.
