Is this a Sasquatch? Relatively clear pic

Slightly off topic, but I didn't think anyone would mind...

Interesting photo from USA - is this a Sasquatch?

Kind regards,

Hi Shazz,

Nice find. Thanks for the heads up!

I appreciate this researcher's enthusiasm but if you have to start drawing on photos where you believe arms, head, and bodyshape are (ala Rex Gilroy fossilised footprint style), then you really should be exercising more patience, keeping it to yourself, and keeping your fingers crossed.

I know that sounds harsh, but there is no real comparison photo for the one in question. The photo featuring the researcher is from a slightly different position, in crisp clear clarity by comparison, with different shadows, and appears to have been taken at a different time of day. Furthermore, the trail camera appears to be using an inferior low mega pixel resolution, leading to a lot of blurred lines, blurring of colours, and in general an out of focus, poor photo.

The bottom line is the object in question is either shadow on the tree behind or it's something else.

Here in Australia we had a similar situation some years ago where a pair of brothers had footage of what may or may not have been a yowie peering out from behind leaves of a tree. Again, the dark shapes behind the leaves were in question, with no eyes or distinct hair seen. Unfortunately, it's a situation where if you look at something long enough, eventually you will start to see what you want to see.

Seriously, I can't believe that photo sparked a news worthy story.

I found the lights from the game cam on the same page lower down more interesting than the "sasquatch".

Heres the latest Bigfoot footage to come through from the States. Didn`t want to start a new thread with this one so I found the most relevant to post it. Unfortunately, it looks like Biscardi is investigating this one! Everything he touches seems to turn to #%*@

Did I miss something? Why didn't they show the film where this 'thing' is and highlight it so we can see it in context of the movement of the filmer? Just a still means nothing, it could be a tree trunk and an active imagination, hmpf!

So very very annoying!

From what I could gather Shazzoir the image cannot be clearly seen on the footage because he was moving the camera around so quickly. Hence the reason they are only showing a frame of the footage. Not sure why they couldn`t show us a slow motion or frame by frame replay though? Looks like another blobsquatch to the collection unfortunately. As usual no definite conclusion can be reached either away. Frustrating.

Sorry, I'm not buying it..

It seems like a cross between the bloke who was posting landscape photo-shadows and drawing lines in to make it look like a bigfoot is there ... and some spooked campers who KNOW that there is something there, and have the skills to draw it in ... :)
