Is this Bigfoot? Intriguing video shows hulking, hairy creature stalking the Ohio woods

Is Bigfoot on the loose in the Ohio woods?
That's what a YouTube video doing the rounds on the internet is claiming.

The footage, uploaded by HowTo101Channel in April, shows a hulking creature covered in thick, dark hair bolting across a path in North East Ohio's Grand River area.

The person filming - it isn't clear whether it's a man or woman - appears to be riding a motorbike or scooter down the forest path, taking in the scenery.

 

Then all of a sudden, 'Bigfoot' crosses the path from left to right, holding what appears to be a stick in his right hand.

The intriguing sighting seems to startle the mystery driver.
The unnamed person immediately veers off into the bushes before turning the bike around and driving off in the opposite direction.

Folklore: 'Bigfoot' crosses the path from left to right in the footage, holding what appears to be a stick in his right hand

The film, which has been viewed almost 100,000 times, is drowned out by the sound of the motorbike so it is unclear whether the monstrous ape-like creature makes any noises.

We also don't know if the driver screams when they see it crossing the forest path in front of them.

The video comes with little information apart from the month it was taken and the general location of the alleged sighting.

It is titled 'Bigfoot in Ohio clear video of the creature 2012,' and the bulk of commentators clearly believe it is the real deal.
'What I find amazing is the reaction of the person riding the bike. It's a clear indication he/she was really startled because they basically crashed into the bushes. Why would you react like that if its a fake?' one person says.

'Wow that would scare me into a tree too,' another adds, while a third writes: 'It is quite awesome that he is carrying a stick. Gives credibility to it being real, also makes me think how smart they are. Proof enough they avoid humans. Awesome catch there.'
Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch, is the name given to the mysterious ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.
