The video, posted by Emmanuel Alfaro, now boasts more than 8.4 million views on the platform.
“Scariest moment of my life and I really think I caught a f—ing Bigfoot on camera in Parallel Forest,” he captioned the brief clip.
“I was just doing some sightseeing and enjoying the day and saw something in the distance,” he continued. “I’m still shaking as I type this.”
The Parallel Forest in Lawton, Oklahoma, is described by The Thrillist as “dark,” “maze-like” and “the creepiest hike of your life,” so it’s fitting that one would find a Bigfoot in there.
The nine-second footage shows the orange creature sitting against a tree and sniffing some flowers before it realizes its being watched and locks eyes with Alfaro, who exclaims, “Oh, s—!” before he takes off and the video cuts off.
Commenters had no sympathy for the TikToker, and called him out on the so-called sighting.

“The clearest capture I’ve ever seen of a Bigfoot,” one person wrote.
A second user joked, “It can’t be him, the REAL Bigfoot is blurry, haven’t yall seen the pics?”
Other commenters compared the sasquatch to the one seen in ads for Jack Links beef jerky.
“Look up ‘Jack Links Adult Sasquatch Costume.’ It’s identical,” one doubter suggested, while another asked, “Where can I purchase one of these costumes?”
Alfaro doubled down, insisting, “I don’t believe it’s a costume,” and wrote in other replies how scared he was.
However, it all appears to be stunt to promote the Bigfoot Head Shop in Lawton, the store wrote on Facebook of its “commercial teaser.”
They added: “Special thanks to Emmanuel Alfaro and Blake, great video you guys!,” with Blake being Blake Younger, one of the shop’s employees and the man in the costume, the Daily Mail reported.
“The teaser has turned into a massive influx of people reposting our content,” co-owner Tasha Keeble-McKee told the outlet.
“It is great for the community as it is humorous news, different from all the bad news we see all the time.”
Until the next blurry pic…
