Del Norte Bigfoot Sighting, California - 1995

In 1995 two teenage boys appear to have captured a sasquatch on film. If they ever shared the footage to the internet, it is lost in the debris of the information flood.

In November 2012, the video was shared to YouTube on two different channels.

HuntForBigfoot posted the footage with a script crediting the sighting to two teenage boys: Daniel Fearing [age 17] and Michael Troup [age 15]. It also lists the encounter as being in 2005. Most sources mention it being in 1995. It is also sometimes known as The Fering Film.

[Sadly since the original posting in 2019, this video appears to no longer be available.]

But Crypto Crew Founder, Thomas Marcum, did a couple of breakdowns of the video. Here is one of them.

In this encounter, it appears that the sasquatch is mostly hidden behind foliage, watching the two young men when it suddenly stands up, turns, and quickly enters the trees.

The black and gray figure seems to have the necessary physical characteristics. There is a coned head, a brow ridge, sloped back, long arms. There is a rise and fall to its stride that many like to see in a Bigfoot video.

The second posting that month comes from a channel from donny601 entitled "I saw Bigfoot" with the comment "I saw this thing in Del Norte County!!!!!!!!!"

It is unclear if donny601 is one of the two teens, an uncredited friend, or someone riding the coattails of what they consider a great video. This YouTube user opened the account in April of 2006. This video seems to be the only video related to Bigfoot. It has a playlist of music and a playlist entitled Star Wars.

A thing to remember is that this area is what they term a hotbed of bigfoot activity. This is near where Patterson made his film; where the Redwoods Footage was filmed; and where there appear to be many reported encounters.

For what it may be worth, Fearing's last name in some accounts is listed as Fering or Ferring and the footage is referred to as the "Fering Film". Troup is sometimes referred to as Stroup.
