Footage of a strange black figure rummaging around in a forest has been labelled the “best ever” Bigfoot sighting.

Josh Highcliff came across the "creature" while he was out hunting and decided to start filming before it spotted him.

In his video, the figure bears a resemblance to humans with hands, arms and legs.

But it seems to be covered in black fur – matching descriptions of the mythological creature known as Bigfoot.

As the clip comes to an end, the figure stands up and appears to be far larger than humans.

Its size clearly has an effect on the cameraman, who decides to run.

Josh explained: “There was this huge black thing crouched by a dead cypress about 50 yards away, I thought it was a hog but saw these big shoulders and a head upright with hands.

“It looked like it was digging out the stump.

“When it stood up I could not control myself and ran. “That stump was huge and I'd guess the sucker was 7feet tall.”

Josh filmed the encounter back in 23, near the Mississippi town of Tunica in the US.

But it has since gone viral once more after being shared by conspiracy channel Disclose Screen.

New viewers of the clip rushed to the comments section to voice their thoughts.

“Wow if that’s real, and it really could be, it’s probably the best evidence I’ve seen,” one wrote.

Another commented: “One of the best-released videos.”

But a third had a different view, suggesting it was faked and simply showed a “guy in a monkey suit”.
