Jefferson County, Kentucky, is the site of a new Bigfoot photo taken by Kenny Mahoney, was was born and raised in Fairdale.
Elizabeth Donatelli, reporting from WAVE, notes, in part:
His hunting camera, which is operated by a motion detector, normally picks up rabbits, deer and turkeys, but on September 1 around 2:15 p.m. it picked up a strange image that looks like some sort of large black creature, one Mahoney estimates taller than he.
“It looked like it had the outline of a head, and like gorilla type shoulders, and then the arms crossed is what it looks like to me,” said Mahoney.
Mahoney said it would be very hard for him to believe Big Foot is living in his backyard, but is stumped as to what else it could be.
“One of the explanations my brother-in-law said it may be a garbage bag blowed up in there, but all the smashed over vegetation in there-I really don’t know,” said Mahoney. “I have no idea what it is.”
Mahoney’s wife Margaret sent the photo to a wildlife expert who specializes in black bears. She said it looks like it is fur and not a trash bag, but still cannot confirm it is a bear.
Bill Smith pulled these images:
In an examination of the image for Cryptomundo, Bill Dranginis of Virginia Bigfoot Research submits his initial analysis: “Examined the pictures. It appears to be a blackbird or crow in take-off mode. Illusion is that it’s a Bigfoot farther back. Arms of creature are actually wings. Note the separation on the creature’s long fingers; they are feathers.”
