A new Bigfoot picture hoax is burning up social media. This one was taken by one of those road monitoring cameras. It has a nice little story that goes along with the picture. The story is as follows.
"REAL BIGFOOT SIGHTING HERE IN Oregon. State Police received a frantic phone call about a Bigfoot sighting near the Hood River exit a few weeks ago.
The caller described the thing as “dwarfing the guard rail” and “too big to be a bear” not to mention it was walking upright.
The dispatcher immediately checked the ODOT camera and saw this image."
Sadly it appears to be a total fabrication. Below is a picture from the same ODOT camera and it clearly shows the mysterious "Bigfoot" standing in the same spot. Here is the picture
Is it just me or are hoaxers getting even lazier?
I'm not sure who provided the original story or the picture debunking it, so can't give credit. This hoax is very similar to one a few years ago that came from Arizona. The one from Arizona was also captured on a road camera and it turned out to just be trees, you can find that story by clicking here.
So, in the end this is just another hoax but boy people seem to have got a little excited about it ...for a minute or two.
Thanks

The ones trying to hoax pictures & videos are getting lazier, but I believe 90% of the stick structure pics are hoaxes or the result of Pagan activity, with about another 5% being natural occurrences. I only think the ones using pieces of wood too heavy to be moved by humans without machinery. could be the result of Bigfoot and I've only ever seen a few of those from areas without tornados or hurricanes
