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-ne...ms-3789645) or July that year (https://wtvr.com/2014/07/02/man-claims-b...ar-photos/, https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/...604514.php, http://weekinweird.com/2014/07/01/fishin...-virginia/), not just in English news (https://www.hln.be/nieuws/buitenland/daa...gle.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 2 taken about 30 minutes later, a creature that resembles an ape more than a bear:

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/5151...-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-sig...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. Reply
