Another Dead Bigfoot Photo?
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on November 21st, 2006
Cryptomundo reader captiannemo sent in this photo.
Anyone know anything about this one?
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Cute but quite obvious fake I feel. 🙂
Working as I do in the creative end of advertising and publishing, all I can say is ‘SHOPPED!
Any hunter in that situation would have taken the body to the nearest newspaper/circus/museum of curiosities and retired handsomely on the proceeds.
While the photo could have languished in someone’s dusty old shoebox until now, stories of such import would be difficult to keep quiet.
All these internet armchair experts, passing judgment on a pic..of something most in here have never seen, for real!
Tragic, this is spectacular evidence that there is (or was) something out there!
Longrifle48, I suppose you have already seen one for real?
Nobody in here is saying that there isn’t something out there, or we wouldn’t be posting on a Cryptozoology site.
Everybody’s opinion should be heard and that’s exactly what these forums are for, whether they know what they’re talking about or not.
Sure some pictures are obviously shopped or fake, others are inconclusive and other still look pretty real. We are here exactly to debate on those issues.
So please, try and respect everybody’s opinion. Unless you have conclusive proof that everybody is wrong, try not to call them ignorant indirectly.
No disrespect intended.
I have real issues with the focus aspects as well, if someone could give a plausible explanation why there is so much discrepancy on the same planes and only around certain objects I’d be more open to changing my opinion (for what little it’s worth) that this is indeed the work of Monsieur Magasin dePhoto 😉
There seem to be a lot of Arm Chair experts desperate to accept anything as proof something maybe out there.
Fuzzy blobs, Doctored pics, wooden feet.
They call the real search into question with their blinkered view.
I am sorry for the poor quality of this photo after a few years the quality has degraded.
It has been stored on the hardrives of my wifes computers and transfered to my laptop. This picture was found on the internet a few years back and when I first downloaded it, the picture was much clearer. I had no idea this picture was not seen before. After several computer hard drive issues on my wife’s old computers, I thought this old picture was worth saving. I thought it would be a good idea to send it to Cryptomundo and share it before my wife’s old PC crashed for good. Thanks to all who posted their comments. I hope someone who has the original will post it again so we all can get a better look at it.
I was just joking about an obviously tampered with photo 🙂 though at no time, did I call anyone ignorant. And yeppers, you betcha, I, along with 2 other military police, did see a critter at Ft. Lewis, WA in 1984. Immediately deemed classified (at the time).
Hehehe, enjoy turkey day 🙂
It is a fake I think. Why would a large unknown ape have paws?
longrifle48, that explains it.
Didn’t mean to offend you in any way, just probably misunderstood what you wrote. Thought you were calling people ignorant by using the expression “armchair experts”.
Hope to see something some day that will be deemed “classified” as well.
Enjoy Thanksgiving.
I don’t know much about photoshop, but it seems that a lot of qualified people here, in photoshop, old fashioned photography, etc, are saying that in their educated opinion, it is indeed a fake. I’m weighing that against any evidence that it might be real and I’m really leaning towards fake on this one. It would be really cool if it were real, no doubt, but I just feel that we shouldn’t let our hope cloud our judgment here.

Alright, this is where I call BS on the whole thing.
I’ve worked with computers for more than 15 years now. I’ve done a lot of graphics work. I’ve had a lot of work that had to be saved from one machine to another.
At no point during the process does a picture ‘degrade’ simply because it was transferred from one disk to another. Take any picture, transfer it to a floppy disc, then back to your harddrive, then back to the floppy ad infinitum and it’ll remain the same quality that it was when you first transferred it.
It was a try (albeit not enough to qualify as a ‘nice’ one), but you’ve just cemented that you’ve attempted a poor hoax with an impossibly implausible ‘excuse’ for the quality of your photo, cap’n.
It has definitely been touched up on photoshop.
I don’t see photoshop. Look how the sun reflects on the man and the creature.
