BIGFOOT Spotted in Resurfaced Doc Clip ... Is That You, Sassie?!?
Bigfoot enthusiasts think they've spotted their man (or animal) in an old documentary that they're digging back up and taking a hard look at ... and honestly, it might be Biggie!
The clip is from the 2001 film "Great North" -- filmed near the Arctic Circle -- and it got posted/circulated on a Bigfoot lovers' Reddit page ... and people online are buzzing about a shadowy figure running upright behind a herd of caribou ... which they think is a sasquatch.
The nature documentary Great North may have an unusual cameo in it. At four seconds into this clip a strange humanoid figure can be seen running alongside the Caribou. Due to the remote nature of the footage some have claimed that the crew accidentally captured a sasquatch.

The reappearance of this scene has stirred up the old debate of whether it's real or not -- especially since the film’s director, William Reeve, admitted eight years ago on the YouTube page ThinkerThunker he didn’t notice the mysterious figure until 15 years after filming.
