Dad and his kids think they've captured Bigfoot on video after spotting something in the woods

A dad out for a drive with his kids claims to have caught a Bigfoot on video hanging out in the woods alongside the road. Skeptical? So was the dad at first until he drove past the area of the supposed sighting again.

Since the video of the purported Bigfoot was posted a few days ago, it has more than 17 million views. It shows a wooded area next to the road, then a dark figure standing among the trees as the vehicle passes by.

"My kids screamed they saw Bigfoot and were freaking out," the text on the video posted on TikTok reads. "So I turned around thinking they're full of crap. They weren't."

Incredibly, this visual evidence attracted many doubters. They're not sold on the figure in the viral video being that of the elusive hide-and-seek champion as some have labeled the creatures.

Doubters like this who are apparently expecting Bigfoot to pose for the video. They wrote among the thousands of comments, "You really tryna tell me that, in 2026, your phone camera has qualify so good that I could count the leaves on any given tree, yet somehow you managed to record specifically JUST BIGFOOT on a 1990s flip phone camera."

Another skeptic wrote, "Always filmed on a potato."

BIGFOOT IS A NEANDERTHAL-HUMAN HYBRID, ACCORDING TO THE MAN WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FOUND REMAINS

There were even claims that the dark figure seen in the video was nothing more than a yard display. They expect you to believe that someone purchased one of these displays and set it up in the woods.

Others chose to buy what the video is selling. They took one look at the figure and knew that what they were laying their eyes on was in fact a Bigfoot. They've seen them before.

One of the believers wrote, "you know it's him because he's mid stride and blurry."

The blurry sentiment was shared by many and explained by at least one who weighed in with, "Apparently they are Interdimensional beings. They give off a high vibration which affects the camera quality."

Some saw more than one Bigfoot, which puts them in a special class. A member of this group of commenters watched the clip more than once and concluded, "I watched the video a few times, there is more than one."

Is it Bigfoot? Are there more than one? Is this nothing more than a yard sign planted in the woods to scare children? I'll let you decide.

Let me know what you think sean.joseph@outkick.com. Also, feel free to share your own Bigfoot stories and/or encounters.

Britney Spears stands through sunroof at 45 mph on Studio City freeway after DUI charge was dropped

Britney Spears raised eyebrows on Friday when she was spotted sticking her head out of the sunroof while in the passenger seat of a moving car.

According to The Daily Mail, the 44-year-old singer was traveling down the crowded 101 freeway around Studio City in Los Angeles after starting her journey in Thousand Oaks.

In the photos, the "Oops I Did It Again" singer can be seen standing fully upright out of the sunroof of the black Mercedes SUV, wearing a nude dress as her blonde hair blew in the wind.

The outlet reported the singer stood up as the car was traveling around 45 miles per hour, and she remained standing for about two minutes before the car exited the freeway and pulled into a nearby gas station.

BRITNEY SPEARS SAID SHE WAS 'AN ANGEL' WHO COULD 'DRINK FOUR BOTTLES OF WINE' BEFORE DUI ARREST: POLICE REPORT

A source told The Daily Mail that Spears only "went through the sunroof for a quick moment" in order to check on the level of traffic. They added that "if it's illegal to put your head through a sunroof, she doesn't know it!" and that "she didn't mean to do anything bad."

"She wanted to see what the traffic was about up ahead because the cars came to a stop," the source added. "She wanted to see how long they would be delayed."

The source continued, "She used to do this all the time as a kid growing up in the South, she loves having the warm wind blow through her hair in the summer, it's fun. She is having a fun summer and is happy, she is in a good place."

The photos of her standing out of the sunroof come just a few months after she was arrested for driving under the influence in March.

According to documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Spears claimed she was "an angel" before officers arrested her, telling California Highway Patrol officers that she could "probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you."

Spears refused an alcohol screening test, but once handcuffed, officers noted they found a bottle of Adderall in her purse, which was not prescribed to her, and also discovered an "empty wine glass in the cup holder between the front driver seat and passenger seat."

The DUI charge was dropped in May, after she pleaded guilty through her lawyers to what's commonly called a "wet reckless."

She was hit with fines, given 12 months of probation, time served and will need to complete a DUI course. The plea offer was standard for defendants with no DUI history, no crash or injury on the road, and a low blood-alcohol level, the county district attorney’s office said.

"Ms. Spears took responsibility for this misdemeanor offense, entering a guilty plea at the earliest stage and two months from the day she was arrested," District Attorney Erik Nasarenko said.

A representative for Spears confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time of her arrest that the "Toxic" singer voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility.

Shark sightings trigger beach alarm after swimmer is bitten during summer spike

A surge in shark sightings and a swimmer’s shark bite have beachgoers on the East Coast on high alert.

A small sand tiger shark is likely what bit a man who suffered non-life-threatening lacerations to his foot while swimming at Jones Beach State Park Field 6 on Long Island over the Fourth of July weekend, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation determined.

The beach was temporarily closed while state officials searched for more sharks, but they reopened it to restricted swimming after an hour.

Days before, the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation (NYC Parks) alerted beachgoers to expect intermittent beach closures at Rockaway Beach in Queens, New York City’s largest beach, due to multiple shark sightings. According to NYC Parks, Rockaway Beach has recorded 23 shark sightings and been closed 23 times since May.

Sixteen of those shark sightings occurred within the first five days of July, reported NYC Parks.

"The city’s emergency management agency said they received multiple shark sightings at the Queens beach ... and asked those trying to escape the heat to follow guidance from on-duty lifeguards," Fox Weather reported.

Long Island beach lifeguards spotted a shark off Point Lookout on July 2, prompting the beach’s temporary closure, along with the shutdown of neighboring Hempstead beaches, the Associated Press reported.

A fisherman hooked and released a 5½-foot sandbar shark about 200 yards offshore from East Haven Town Beach in Connecticut in late June, according to local sources. No injuries were reported.

The uptick in shark sightings in the New York area may be due to increased surveillance efforts.

In May, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced in a press release that the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, in collaboration with the Department of Environmental Conservation were enhancing the state's surveillance capability with new drones and drone operators to patrol sharks and other marine-life activity along Long Island State Park beaches this summer.

Shark bites are rare, especially with alert systems in place, Gavin Naylor, director of the Florida Museum of Natural History’s shark research program, told the AP.

Last year, the Lulu Gribbin Shark Alert System Act became law in Alabama. It’s named after Lulu Gribbin, who survived a shark attack, but lost a hand and part or her leg, in the incident.

The system works like an Amber Alert and sends an emergency warning to people’s cellphones when a confirmed shark attack happens near an Alabama beach.

"If there had been any type of alert that was given, that there’s no way that Lulu would have been in the water," U.S. Sen. Katie Britt, the Alabama Republican who sponsored the legislation, told the AP. "And so we talked about how a simple change could have made a huge impact."

Naylor told the AP, "If somebody is bitten by a shark, and then an alert goes out, the probability that another person’s going to be bitten by a shark within, let’s say, two or three hours is incredibly small."

The OCEARCH Shark Tracker is a free, public online map that allows people to follow the movements of tagged sharks through satellite tracking.

Trump admin scraps ‘weaponized’ wildlife rule that became 'burden' on American families and businesses: Burgum

EXCLUSIVE: The Interior and Commerce Departments are scrapping a sweeping Endangered Species Act (ESA) rule that officials say past administrations "weaponized" to block energy production, logging, infrastructure projects and private citizens' land use.

Officials pointed to several ESA-listed species they say triggered undue or burdensome restrictions by treating habitat modification as potential "harm" to protected species, purportedly expanding the ESA's "harm" provision.

"For years, federal agencies abused the ESA to obstruct lawful land use and burden American families and businesses," Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox News Digital.

"That approach turned routine activity into a regulatory trap, drove up costs that impacted people’s lives, and expanded federal authority beyond what Congress intended."

BIDEN-ERA ENVIRO RULE ACCUSED OF STRANGLING TRUCKERS, SQUEEZING AMERICANS LANDS ON TRUMP CHOPPING BLOCK

On Friday, the Interior and Commerce Departments announced they are rescinding the 'outdated' regulatory definition of 'harm' and returning the Endangered Species Act's interpretation to its original intent to end years of federal overreach.

The administration is relying in part on the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo, which overturned "Chevron deference" and held that courts must use independent judgment when interpreting federal statutes rather than deferring to an agency’s preferred reading of ambiguous law.

The rule change therefore aims to align regulations with the "single best" meaning of a statute rather than letting it be "contort[ed] to fit a political agenda," officials said.

LEGAL WAR ON TRUMP’S AGENDA GAINS FIREPOWER AS FEDERAL LAWYERS DEFECT TO DEMOCRATS

Officials pointed to the dunes sagebrush lizard, which the Biden administration listed as endangered in 2024, as an example of what they view as speculative habitat-based restrictions.

Officials argued the change led to unnecessary restrictions on energy projects in Texas’ lucrative Permian Basin, most recently depicted in the acclaimed Billy Bob Thornton series "Landman."

Under Section 9 of the ESA, it is unlawful to "take" endangered wildlife, a term Congress defined to include actions such as harming, harassing, wounding or killing protected species.

TRUMP’S ENERGY INITIATIVES MAY FINALLY EXTRACT AMERICA FROM MIDEAST CHAOS

Federal materials tied the species’ decline to surface-disturbing activities, including energy development and sand mining, which officials and industry representatives say can trigger costly permitting and compliance burdens.

Officials also cited the lesser prairie-chicken, a grassland bird whose federal protections have drawn opposition from farmers, ranchers and energy developers across New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.

The fight over habitat-based "harm" dates back decades, including the northern spotted owl, whose 1990 ESA listing fueled a long-running battle over timber harvesting in the Pacific Northwest and was blamed for job losses.

A 2021 study in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management estimated the owl’s ESA listing reduced timber employment by roughly 16,000 to 32,000 jobs in the Pacific Northwest and northern California.

Timber interests and landowners challenged the federal definition, arguing that "harm" should cover direct injury to wildlife, not habitat modification that indirectly affects a species.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Clinton Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt in 1995, upholding a definition of "harm" that included significant habitat modification when it actually kills or injures protected wildlife.

Officials say the change is designed to narrow the regulation after Loper Bright and prevent agencies from using habitat-based theories to block lawful activity far beyond what Congress authorized.

The agencies argued the previously broadened definition of "harm" became an unlawful intrusion on private property rights.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick added that fishermen in particular have been burdened by the regulation for "too long."

Returning the ESA to its original purpose protects both the environment and economic development, Lutnick said.

"This administration is committed to protecting wildlife using Gold Standard Science, the law and the tools Congress actually gave us," added U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Brian Nesvik. "We can protect species and respect communities at the same time."

Administration officials stressed that core ESA protections remain in place, including prohibitions on directly injuring or killing protected wildlife.

The administration said the change is intended to reduce permitting and compliance costs while providing greater legal clarity for landowners, energy producers and developers, advancing President Donald Trump's vision of domestic energy dominance and a regulatory state that works for, not against, the average American.

Devils star Nico Hischier saved a family while boating

With the NHL in the midst of its offseason, that doesn't mean that some of the league's biggest stars aren't putting in the work, and in the case of New Jersey Devils captain Nic Hieschier, that work is saving a family from disaster.

Hischier — the top pick in the 2017 NHL Draft — hails from Switzerland and was over there this summer.

According to Swiss German-language outlet 20 Minuten, Hischier was boating near the Engehalde Weir, a dam near the city of Bern, when he saw a family in distress out on the water.

ALEX OVECHKIN SIGNS A ONE-YEAR DEAL TO RETURN FOR ANOTHER NHL SEASON WITH THE CAPITALS

The family — two adults and two kids — was in an inflatable raft, wound up getting pulled toward the dam, and were unable to get themselves out of danger on their own.

So that's where the Devils captain stepped in, with actions that were described as "heroic."

It's awesome to hear that he sprang into action like that to help those in need, but the best part of the story is Hischier's quote after the fact.

CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS DEALT DEVASTATING BLOW WITH CONNOR BEDARD EXPECTED TO MISS START OF SEASON

"In this situation, everyone is grateful for support, and we were all relieved that no one was hurt in the end," he said, before going on to note the first responders who also helped out during the incident.

Now that is a Hockey Guy answer if ever there was one.

He's being credited with saving a family, and when asked about it, he gave the family-saving version of, "It was a team effort; we just went out there and executed, got pucks on net."

Great stuff, and that's what you want from your captain.

It's what the Devils clearly want too, because earlier this month, they signed him to a five-year extension, a $11,700,000 AAV deal that will kick in after this season.

Hero in birthday suit grabs his hose and saves two homes from Fourth of July smoldering firework fire

What makes a hero? Is it someone who wears their underwear on the outside of their clothes like Superman? Not necessarily. In fact, clothing isn't even required.

A hero is defined by their courage and selflessness. Do they risk heading for the shorts drawer or do they run outside completely naked after being woken up in the middle of the night to news of a fire?

A Sumner, Washington man didn't bother heading for a pair of shorts. His neighbor woke him up in the early morning hours of July 5, he saw the flames between their homes, and his Navy training kicked in.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

A smoldering firework from the Fourth of July festivities had caught fire in Wesley Howard's neighbor's garbage can. He knew that immediate action was required and ran outside in his birthday suit.

With his hose in his hand, he started fighting the fire as it spread through his fence and made its way to his home. His quick action, burned his toes on hot embers, KIRO reported.

It also "likely saved both homes."

BROOKLYN BRIDGE CATCHES FIRE AMID NYC FIREWORKS DISPLAY AS TRUMP HAILS IT IN DC SPEECH

"I was dead asleep in the bedrooms and when I came running out to the top of the stairs to see what was going on, I could see out the window right here between two houses that it was just glowing bright orange," the naked hero told the local outlet.

"I saw it was a raging fire as much as I could see. So I had two options: run back in the bedroom and get some shorts or run straight downstairs outside, grab a hose and start fire fighting. So that’s what I did."

Howard had found a pair of shorts and put them on by the time police and firefighters arrived on the scene. He had saved the day.

Like every hero, this clothesless crusader had a message to share on how to prevent this from happening to you: douse your fireworks.

Michael Rapaport owns up to getting Trump wrong after years of bashing him

Michael Rapaport is detailing how his perspective on President Donald Trump changed in the wake of a global crisis.

During an episode of Jamie Kennedy's podcast, "Hate To Break It To Ya," the 56-year-old comedian opened up about how his perspective on Trump has evolved over time, including what prompted him to move away from derogatory name-calling and adopt a more respectful tone.

"You were mad at Trump. Now you're cool with Trump?" Kennedy asked.

HILLARY CLINTON BREAKS WITH DEMOCRATIC CRITICS BY BACKING TRUMP’S GAZA PLAN AS THE 'ONLY GAME IN TOWN'

"Yeah," Rapaport responded. "But I have problems, and he's far from not being … infuriating."

Rapaport said that after Hamas attacked Israel and abducted hundreds of hostages, his views began to shift.

"After Oct. 7, I realized the magnitude and scope of the hostage situation, and it was between cadaver Joe Biden and Trump and Kamala … I knew that the only way that those hostages who were being held for weeks and then months and then a year, I knew that the only chance would be [Trump]."

"Why I don't insult him now, and I could insult him and I could be derogatory towards him, is because for me, simply getting the hostages home was enough for me to not ... be disrespectful."

Rapaport, who said he's been to Israel nine times in the past two and a half years, said his advocacy has opened his eyes.

"The exposure and the enlightenment and the conversations I had with the hostage families, the reality that I saw, it's worth it for me to not be disrespectful to him because I fought, begged, prayed, pleaded to get the hostages home by any means necessary."

He said people have reached out to him, upset that he stopped disparaging Trump, but he invited those people to "carry the torch," because he was no longer interested in slamming the president.

"For me, it was enough to get the hostages home and protect Israel's right to exist. Those two things were enough for me. Some people vote on different things, some people want different things, a lot of times you don't get them. But for me, it was enough for me to do that, and it was important enough for me to do that. I respect and know what I've seen, who I've spoken to, the insight that I've had to not be disparaging to him simply for that."

"I could still be critical and still be frustrated and have all the things, but … it was important enough for me to no longer carry on like that," he added.

Rapaport also told Kennedy that years ago, when he first began publicly insulting Trump, "I wasn't as informed, plugged in, educated as I am about politics, world politics … I think it's great to admit when you were wrong, uninformed, misinformed and spoke out of turn."

In May, Rapaport said he plans on running against Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is known for his democratic socialist policies, with a "New York City street fight mentality" come 2029.

"I never thought that I would even consider running for mayor of New York City, and I will do it with the best intentions. And I won’t do it the way any other political person has ever done it," Rapaport told Chris Cuomo during an appearance on NewsNation.

"The only way to beat this guy is to make it and take it with New York City street fight mentality."

"There’s no way to out-nice him. There’s no way out-slick him. I think that he’s the greatest bull-crapper in the history of politicians … and that’s saying a lot," he continued.

"But New York City needs to do something. We need to plan right now because 2029 is around the corner, and, yes, I’m running for mayor of New York City. And I will only drop out until I feel like there’s somebody who’s more qualified that could actually beat Zohran the moron."

"My bark is a lot louder than my bite," he added. "There's no way to out-finesse this guy, out-smile this guy. It has to be a dogfight. It has to be ugly, and that's what I will do in my campaign."
