A new photo circulating on Facebook has reignited Bigfoot fever online, with some commenters insisting the image of what appears to be a “baby Bigfoot” is “99.9 percent believable.”
Bigfoot — also known as Sasquatch — is said by believers to be a large, hairy, human-like creature living deep in North American forests. While mainstream science dismisses the legend, sightings and photos continue to spark heated debate.
The latest buzz centers on a photo shared by Stephanie Wood in a public Bigfoot Believers Facebook group. The post includes the original image and a cropped close-up of a small, hairy figure standing in the woods, partially obscured by deer in the foreground.
In her caption, Wood acknowledged the skepticism right away.
“We know what you’re thinking. It’s Chaka from Land of the Lost,” she wrote, referencing the famous TV character. “Our gut reaction to this photo is that it’s probably a short person in a costume, maybe a kid, right?”
“But after analysing it for a while, we’re not so sure anymore,” she added.
Wood went on to speculate whether the figure could be a juvenile Sasquatch — sometimes referred to in cryptid lore as a “squatchlet” — or one of the smaller, hairy humanoid beings occasionally mentioned in fringe reports.
“One thing we know for sure is that the truth is truly stranger than fiction in more cases than not,” she wrote. “Chaka or a Squatchlet? You decide.”
The post quickly filled with reactions, with some users fully convinced by the image.
“Honestly, the deer in the photo make this 99.9 percent believable,” one commenter wrote. “This looks like an adolescent sasquatch I seen in a dream.”
Another joked, “Even the deer are saying WTF?”
Some suggested the figure may have been stalking wildlife. “Maybe he was watching the deer and a big one was close to hunt it,” one person speculated.
Others, however, were far less convinced.
“That deer in the foreground is bigger than that child in a costume,” one skeptic argued.
Another dismissed the entire legend, writing, “The first sight of these things was a fraud or joke. We capture gorillas in their habitat — why not these?”
“Face is too human,” another commenter bluntly concluded.
Whether it’s a cleverly staged photo, a kid in a costume, or something far stranger, the image has once again proven one thing: when it comes to Bigfoot, the debate is never going away.
