A recently surfaced video that has already stirred more debate than footage of Bigfoot and the Zapruder film combined allegedly depicts the worst (or best, depending on what you’re into) morning after in history.

According to US hunter Casey Sanders, while venturing through the forest in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, he came upon a naked man who claimed to have been assaulted and stripped at TomorrowWorld.

After hearing cries for help in the distance, “I looked down to find a man standing in the creek holding a walking stick with not a stitch of clothing on him,” writes Sanders in the video’s description.

The clip then depicts Sanders’ interaction with the naked festival-goer, who explains that he had attended the TomorrowWorld EDM festival four days earlier where he was bashed, stripped, and left for dead in the woods.

“Three guys, they beat the crap out of me,” the man can be heard saying in the clip, amid pleas for Sanders to not phone the police or shoot him. According to the naked raver, he spent four days “licking water off of leaves” before he found a creek, and survived on the sustenance provided by “rotten crab apples”.

According to Sanders, the man eventually recalled his phone number and Sanders was able to get in touch with somebody to come and collect the naked raver. However, “the craziest hunting story [Sanders] will ever have” has now sparked two camps of heated debate.

“I know I was confrontational at first,” Sanders admits, “but what you don’t see is the hour after that of me getting him to safety. I mean I did save his life and I didn’t call the cops.

“Sorry I wasn’t so trusting to random stranger naked in the creek out in the middle of the woods who couldn’t differ a dream from reality. I didn’t exactly have a script in my head of this is what I will do when I find a naked man in a creek.”

Indeed. But while we can forgive Sanders’ hostility towards the strange naked man in the creek, some of the clip’s more than 1 million viewers are questioning its authenticity.

“Smells like bullshit,” wrote on incredulous Reddit user, while others still are questioning why Sanders didn’t phone an ambulance or at least ask police if a missing persons report had been filed.
