Bigfoot ‘spotted’ in video footage taken on Caerphilly mountain

News | | Published: 13:02, Tuesday September 20th, 2016.

Video footage which supposedly shows a large yeti-like creature lingering on Caerphilly mountain has excited the national press and Bigfoot enthusiasts alike.

The “terrifying” revelations made UK headlines after Jason Parsons, from Cardiff, captured what is believed to be the first UK footage of the large gorilla-like creature.

The 40-year-old said he noticed a large shadow gripping and pulling on a tree when he watched back footage taken on a hike on the mountain.

Mr Parsons had been filming strange x-shaped structures and an oddly-broken twig, which he believed were related to yeti-like behaviour.

He told the Daily Star: “To my astonishment, I saw what I can only describe as a gorilla-like figure, slightly blended into the dark bush, but still having a clear form, just like a gorilla or Bigfoot creature might have.”

Adam Bird, co-founder of the British Bigfoot Research organisation, said: “Sceptics will say it is just a person, but why would a person stand in the middle of a remote forest, swinging and pushing a tree?

“Lets think about it logically.”

        That’s probably it, struggling out of hammock to reach for a fresh bottle of Speckled Hen. Very reminiscent of ‘Bigfoot’ shaking the trees.

    I think this is probably certain Welsh Nationalists Caerphilly Council, Councillors, (and there may be more sightings over the next few months) coming out of four years in hibernation, (Between local elections), they will eventually be, shaved, washed, and brushed up, hoping to get voted in again, so that they can go back into hibernation for another four or five years. No mystery at all!!!!!!

    Is this just the next under-handed ploy to keep mountain bikers off the mountain I wonder…?
