The US Army tracked a family of Bigfoot before murdering them and taking them back to a base for examination, sasquatch fanatics have claimed.

On the unofficial Bigfoot Reddit page -a site that is among the most openly deranged on the internet - one monster hunter claimed that they had heard of the claims on a new documentary.

Titled 'A flash of beauty, Bigfoot revealed', the documentary allegedly looked into reports that a special forces team had carried out the killing close to Patterson air force base in Ohio.

The post read: "In the new Bigfoot movie 'a flash of beauty, big foot revealed' there is a section where they talk about the military getting involved to track Bigfoot.

"The guy who was blacked out for privacy in the movies said that a special forces team tracked a family of Bigfoot and killed them because they were dangerous and took them back to right Patterson Air Force Base."
