Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A video posted on YouTube claims to show a Bigfoot lurking in the woodland that runs alongside the Trans-Canada highway in British Columbia.
The clip, which has been viewed over 30,000 times, appears to capture a mysterious hairy beast moving among the trees in the west Canada state – although curiously, the creature can only be seen from one angle.
The video, which was uploaded by self-proclaimed “paranormal researcher” Wowforreeel, takes the form of several screen-grabs from Google’s interactive mapping programme Google Earth.
As the uploader zooms in on the woodland running alongside Canada’s longest national highway, a shadowy creature appears to emerge between the trees.
The upload has inevitably attracted a number of sceptics, many of whom say the image of the fabled beast is actually more likely to be a burned tree stump.
Others appear keener to believe, however, with YouTube user Kevin Sherf posting: “I told you there was a Bigfoot…The proof is as plain as day.”
