A filmmaker says he saw a 6ft tall "muscular" ape he believes was Bigfoot running at speed through a forest clearing.

Seth Breedslove, who owns Small Town Monsters film production company, says he was "skeptical" the mythological beast really existed when he first began making the documentary series On The Trail of Bigfoot.

Although he says he wasn't "out to disprove anything", he believed it was quite unlikely a giant creature like the Sasquatch was able to live in the forests undetected by humans for centuries.

This changed when he was driving on a quad bike through a rural area in Minerva, Ohio, and spotted an unusual figure with proportions he couldn't explain.

Recalling what happened, Seth told Daily Star: "We were in Minerva doing a shoot in an area that has reported Bigfoot activity.

"We had experienced things ourselves. The night before we were out driving around hanging up trail cameras, mostly so we could get photographs of wildlife, we didn't expect to get photos of Bigfoot or anything."

But Seth said he was left amazed when he saw an ape-like animal running at an incredible pace.

The filmmaker explained: "We were crossing over a pipeline, which is like a small clearing going up the side of the hill, as we were driving past the clearing I looked up and I saw something dark brown, running on two legs, covered in hair…

"It was running extremely fast on two legs, I could see its arms pumping while it was running so it looked like a sprinter.

"I got a glimpse of it for anything of maybe an eighth of a second to a second-and-a-half, tops.

"My reaction was to jump out of the ATV to see if I could get closer to it and run up the side of the hill where I saw it."

He added: "The detail my brain decided it was going to focus on was that its arms were swinging and that is what I focused on.

"It seemed pretty strong. There was a lot of muscle in the arms for sure. It looked like an Olympic sprinter."

Although he tried to chase the strange animal on foot, he got to a point where the forest was so dense with foilage he couldn't follow it anymore.

Seth explained: "We could hear it moving around in the woods, never saw it again after that.

"All I know is it wasn't a person because it was covered in hair and I don't believe it was a deer.

"I was trying to think rationally what I could have seen other than Bigfoot – but there isn't anything that makes any sense."
