Source 1

Jessica is bored at home alone, so she decides to watch a scary movie. At the scariest part of the movie, when a bigfoot is being chased through the village by a group of soldiers, Jessica’s roommate Samantha comes home unexpectedly and turns on the lights. Jessica screeches and spills soda on herself. As they are cleaning up, Jessica tells Samantha the plot of the movie she was watching. While the bigfoot was large and intimidating, he was actually quite friendly. The soldiers found out about the bigfoot and thought it was dangerous, so they grabbed their pitchforks and chased him out of town. As the bigfoot tried to escape, he accidentally knocked down a soldier.
