Could it be: Bigfoot in Brooklyn?

Last week, a man identified as Russell Strark uploaded a video on YouTube which he claims is a live recording of the mythical beast strolling through Prospect Park. According to Strark, he captured the hairy ape-like creature roaming through the park on Tuesday, Jan. 27, on the day that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio shut down public parks after the city was hit by Winter Storm Juno, reports Pix 11.

"This is Unbelievable footage that I captured in Brooklyns Prospect Park," wrote Strark on YouTube. "I recently started a live streaming / time lapse channel called Brooklyn Live Video to capture different parts of Brooklyn. I had set up a camera in Prospect Park on a side trail to capture the snow fall, today I went back and collected it and found this footage. It appears to me to be Bigfoot.... Seriously. Looks like it was taken at around 7 am this morning."

However, a leading paranormal expert dismissed the alleged video evidence of a Sasquatch lurking through Prospect Park as a hoax.

"What a perfect composition. Could it have been much better created?" Lee Speigel, a writer for the Huffington Post's Weird News, told the Brooklyn Paper.

"I don't know what the f--k this thing was, but usually if it is too good to be true, it's too good to be true."

After enlarging and reviewing stills from the video, Speigel noted that the creature didn't seem to be really hairy and appeared to be wearing goggles.

Spiegel, who writes about supernatural activity and farfetched occurrences, added that he is a Bigfoot believer, but the video is questionable.

"In terms of Bigfoot, I've never seen a video I believed," he said. "But I am a big believer in eyewitness testimony, and I don't believe everyone is making stuff up."
