Bigfoot Spotted Sneaking Around Below Bald Eagle Nest, Multiple Outlets Report (cnet.com)

Posted by msmash on from the grain-of-salt dept.

Take it with a pinch of salt. Maybe some more. Eric Mack, writing for CNET:Bigfoot, that mysteriously unkempt and anti-social gentlemen of the woodlands, has again made an appearance on camera in his trademark blurry yet intriguing style. This time the legendary cryptid has apparently been captured on the CarbonTV Eagle Cam in northern Michigan. The live webcam is trained on a bald eagle nest 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground near the Platte River State Fish Hatchery. In the aforementioned video we see a dark lumbering figure talking into frame about 10 seconds into the clip. The shadowy silhouette of something clearly bipedal makes its way through the stand of trees before walking out of frame. While the creature appears to fit the traditional description of Bigfoot, it also could pretty easily be explained as a bear or a human. Because the camera is capturing the forest floor looking down from 100 feet up, the perspective is a little screwy and it's hard to get much clarity.Further reporting on Time, and Fox.

    I'm convinced the editors have resorted to trolling us now.

    Where there are webcams, there will be trolls who put something unexpected into the frame, just far enough away to trick the eye. I may have...er...known someone...who's done this before.

    Maybe bigfoot is blurry in real life?

    Maybe it's Donald Trump in the bigfoot costume? Big foot, small hands!
