As you may recall, this first appeared last December. It’s is back, making the rounds again. A deer hunter at Berwick, Louisiana, allegedly captured a strange image of something wandering through the nearby woods at night. The hunter near Baton Rouge reported to the media that he found this bizarre image on his deer stand’s broken trailcam’s memory card.
Just hate to see a good mystery left unsolved. What did this turn out to be?

We have looked at this before and posted opinions that it is a hoax and is not a hoax. One thing it did NOT turn out to be is an image from the movie Super 8, as was reported by some sources back in December.
Berwick is a town in St. Mary Parish (shown above), Louisiana, United States. The population was 4,418 at the 2000 census. The first white settler to trek through the wilderness in this area was Thomas Berwick, a surveyor from Pennsylvania who was working in Opelousas, Louisiana. He settled along the banks of the Atchafalaya River in the late 18th century. Today the town of Berwick is home to several seafood processing plants and numerous boat companies. On the eastern side of the state are the reports of the Honey Island Swamp monster, a hairy humanoid or anthropoid cryptid reported from Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana since 1963.
