NEWLY posted footage of the "best Bigfoot sighting ever" has sent conspiracy theorists into a fresh storm of speculation over the mythological being.

The bizarre clip appears to show a figure with human limbs, covered in black fur and crouching in a forest in woods near the Mississippi town of Tunica in the US.

When the tall creature stands up to a massive height, the cameraman appears to flee in panic.

Bigfoot believers think the ape-like humanesque creature originating in North American folklore still dwells in the wilderness - but others are more sceptical.

Josh Highcliff, who filmed the original clip, said: “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 7ft tall.”

A new legion of Bigfoot speculators were enthralled when the clip was posted on conspiracy theory channel Disclose Screen on Saturday.

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

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

"This is really close to home," another wrote. "I have proof of them also. Stay safe dude..."

But others were more sceptical, with one suggesting it was faked and simply showed a “guy in a monkey suit”.
