Photo one : "Walking the dog -- state lands -- 1966"
Paul Howard: The Grandfather's Photos
On February 11, 2017, Paranormal Central released a YouTube video by an anonymous person showing two photos that claimed to be of sasquatch. On March 3, 2017, Paul Howard released a YouTube video that claimed to show photographs that his grandfather had taken of "Bigfoot".
The Paranormal Central video showed only two photos. Perhaps these were the "2 more" that Paul Howard spoke of. Photograph One shows what appears to be a path through some trees with two figures in it. They are claimed to be two "bigfoot". There is a larger one and a smaller, child sized one. Written on the back of the photo is the phrase : "Walking the dog -- state lands -- 1966".
There is a photo making the rounds again. It appears to have been started by an Instagram user, accidentally. He used this photo [above] along with a photo of a footprint in snow and posted them to his followers on his account. He/she presented them as a form of "What would you do if ? . . ." and gave the readers a list of answers of what they would do if confronted with the subjects of the photos.
And now this photo is making the rounds on all the bigfoot/sasquatch/cryptid sites with no background, making everyone go "OOH" and "AHH".
Let me first state that I'm not talking about people who are skeptical or those with legitimate questions. I'm referring to those who are absolute about Bigfoot not being real.
Before I go any further with my thoughts and ramblings, let me first give you an example that happened only a few days ago.
In between taking in reports and doing our own research, we also look at other videos, pictures and stories to post here. Plus we have various other projects we work on like youtube videos, books and other things. Some of it is for entertainment, some of it is to share evidence, some of it is to help weed out hoaxes and some of it is an effort to get a person to think deeper or differently about certain subjects.
Sometimes, like today, we will feature various videos. Sometimes, we ask other peoples opinion about them while giving ours. I know some people you could not convince them a video was fake no matter what you told or showed them. On the other hand you have videos that might be of a real Bigfoot and you can't convince them it might be real either. So, I guess it is best not to worry much about changing other peoples minds, as it is about sharing our/your opinions. Our opinions for videos and reports are based on what we see and what experience we have ...just like other peoples. Beside, giving an opinion on any topic is the fastest way to get attacked. So, for what it is worth, my opinion of the following video is that it is a hoax.
Here is the video.
Here is what the description below the video says: "A man sent us this footage of a supposed bigfoot or sasquatch sighting.
He says that he took it in the Spring of 2015 but was to nervous or
embarrassed to show anyone who might think he was crazy. He found our
channel and submitted it to us for our bigfoot breakdown."
So there is not really a lot to go on from the description. I do know that often times people wait years to tell about seeing a bigfoot. I think many are afraid people will make fun of them or just not believe them.It is also feasible that the guy was just filming the stream and heard something, but who knows for sure.
To me, the figure looks like some type of cheap gorilla suit. The face kind of looks like it is plastic. I have no evidence to back that up, just going by what I see. The guy that filmed it may not have been privy to any of this, he may be a a victim of a prank/hoax. I don't know.
I have grabbed a still frame from the video and zoomed in on the figure. You still can't see much detail. But at least I made a sloppy effort. I did not take the time to run this video on my editing software and break it down. Just call me lazy, I guess.
So, what do you think about the video? Is it real or fake? Does it make you want to visit Utah?
Thanks
