But can you explain what that dark hairy thing, photographed at different angles on the edge of Intracoastal Waterway in the US State of Virginia by Randy O'Neal's father and his friend on the 28th of June 2014, is? Also, unlike for the video and story on the "baby Megalodon", this 'Bigfoot' story did make a lot of news around the time that it was released, be it in June (https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/world-news/bigfoot-spotted---man-claims-3789645) or July that year (https://wtvr.com/2014/07/02/man-claims-bigfoot-spotted-in-virginia-shares-clear-photos/, https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/Bigfoot-spotting-at-Virginia-coast-goes-viral-5604514.php, http://weekinweird.com/2014/07/01/fishing-bigfoot-spotted-virginia/), not just in English news (https://www.hln.be/nieuws/buitenland/daar-is-ie-weer-bigfoot~a3b8b34e/?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F), and it's important to note that O'Neal didn't say that it was definitely Bigfoot, letting others judge it for what it was, and it's definitely not a deer or tree stump (how can tree stumps move around?), and that his dad had gone there due to a mysterious incident over there 25 years prior, in which O'Neal said that he saw "red eyes" staring at him from the darkness of the woods, before apparently managing to shoot it under his father's instructions, and then they heard it screech in pain as it tore through the woods and fell into water, which made a sound as if a car had fallen into the river, and then in the next morning, he and his dad were shocked to see saplings damaged as if they had been torn apart by a powerful, moving thing:

As for this video which claims to 'debunk' the photos, it makes 2 mistakes: Capturing a moving object at different angles doesn't make it fake, and it wasn't Randy O'Neal that took the photos, so its claim to 'debunk' the photos is pointless: 

What is there to explain in some bad quality photos? Maybe Finnish formula 1 driver Kimi Räikkönen is there in gorilla suit once again But when I see some photos, which can be basically anything, I don´t know what value those have, when we are talking about something, which can be found in old myths and fairy tales. I understand, that some people make money by maintaining old myths, so this kind of photos are no surprise. But if someone one day would have a good quality photo, then I would be more than surprised :) But to be honest, I believe to bigfoot just as much as I believe, that Peter Pan exists. So in this matter I don´t participate to any debate, I just don´t see any point in that. I am not interested about bigfoot in that way, that I would believe to it, I don´t as I said. But I have been interested about it in that way, that how some myths born and spread among people.

For good quality images, either somebody would have to get closer to one, or camera-trap one in case it prefers to avoid humans:

Image 3, taken over half a minute after Image 2, same as above, even in the words of experts who spent time with bears and primates, it looks more like a primate scanning the ground than even a mangy bear scanning the ground, which is what a number of people suspected that Jacob's creature, photographed in Allegheny National Forest in Northwest Pennsylvania on the 16th of September 2007, was:

North America isn't the only place where people, whether or not indigenous, believe in mysterious apes, and that indigenous people have believed in such things for ages means that this simply cannot be a hallucination coming from a man who lived only recently: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/515147/canadian-village-where-sasquatches-are-said-roam, https://1428elm.com/2018/12/09/call-cryptid-barmanou/

Earlier this year in the U.S.A., something really mysterious was spotted at Salt Fort State Park, eastern Ohio. This video of the "Ohio Grassman" was taken by 2 men using drones for aerial surveillance. You can hear some sounds at 0: 32–53, then a number of skeletons (presumably of deer) are seen at 1:00–1:34, then you can hear more chilling sounds or 'cries' at 2: 16–40, then at 3: 12–34, you can see 2 dark figures or things underneath the dead trees, then from 4:07–8:53, at 7: 51–53, you can hear a weird cry or sound coming from the direction of the hairy guy or thing in the woods, followed by sounds at 8:32–38 (similar to the sounds that were heard at 2: 16–40): https://www.foxnews.com/tech/bigfoot-sighting-ohio-video-goes-viral

I found already a long time ago explanation to it, why people never get any decent photos or footage what comes to bigfoot. Here is photo and article explaining it, it´s not own species, they are medicine men.

It makes perfect sense, they don´t get caught because they know all the ways people try to track them.

As in, thousands of naked, hairy, uncivilised human beings (Homo pongoides, as some would say) wondering around here and there, whether in North America or Eurasia, trying to avoid being seen by their civilised relatives (Homo sapiens sapiens)?

Even within the U.S.A., thousands of annual sightings have been reported, with Washington State being the most active region at 2,032 reported sightings, and California (which had that famous footage from 1967) being second at 1,697 (!) encounters: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6039928130001#sp=show-clips

Here is an interesting case from California: https://www.foxnews.com/tech/bigfoot-reportedly-sighted-in-northern-california-pictures-go-viral

'Bigfoot' reportedly sighted in Northern California, pictures go viral

The legendary Bigfoot and other creatures like it have reportedly been spotted near a Northern California lake, according to a paranormal investigator. Jeffrey Gonzalez, a self-described paranormal expert, said he heard about the sighting from a local farmer who said he saw the creature and five others running on his ranch near Avocado Lake.
“One of them, which was extremely tall, had a pig over its shoulder," Gonzalez said in comments obtained by Fox 26, a Fox News affiliate. "And the five scattered and the one with the pig was running so fast it didn’t see an irrigation pipe and it tripped, with the pig flying over."

According to his Facebook page, Gonzalez is a talk show host and an investigator at Paranormal Central, in addition to being a technician at AT&T. He also founded the Sanger Paranormal Society. Gonzalez said that the sighting is not that uncommon, with three additional Bigfoot sightings in the past five years, all located in East Fresno County.
“I would have never guessed in a million years that you would have told me there were Bigfoot on Shields or Ashlan Avenue. Right? So, I want to know what’s going on. Is this for real?” Gonzalez added.

He recounted two others stories, including one from a woman who said her two sons saw a Bigfoot in their orchard and one from a man who saw five creatures in the same orchard.
“What are the odds of three people, three different families, who don’t know each other, within a radius of 2 to 3 miles, come and tell me what they witness, and it matches up,” Gonzalez said.
The images are reminiscent of the famous Patterson-Gimlin film footage from the 1960s.

In the footage, Roger Patterson and his partner, Robert Gimlin, shot a short motion picture the filmmakers have said was a Bigfoot. Experts have bandied about for years whether the footage was real or fake, though Patterson maintained it was real until his death in 1972.
