Louisiana Swamp Monster - New Photo

[size_of_light]

A deer hunter at Berwick, Louisiana, has captured a strange image of something wandering through the Louisiana woods at night. The hunter near Baton Rouge reported to the media that he found this bizarre image on his deer stand camera.

That is about freaky as Hell!! :eek:

I do not for one minute doubt the phenomena of unexplained creatures or other animal-human-like beings, but as one of the comments said from that page the more advanced computer technology gets (especially that available to the public) the harder it'll be to tell what's real and what's not. Kewl story though!!! :cool:

[don coyote]

The eyes are phony as Hell, but the rest looks pretty interesting. :)

it reminds me a lot of this video of a fallen angel in spain (supposedly debunked)

I don't know what that thing is but there has been some sightings of strange critters back in the deep woods along the Sabine river by some very responsible people.

awww he looks down in the dumps before the guys with the camera startle him! :p

To me, it looks very cgi.

How do we know these supernatural entities don't look cgi-like? I mean I had a really lucid dream involving some huge wierd fiery sucubus creature tricking me, that to me looked like CGI cos of its transparant fire ember-like body. Ok so not the best thing to back up my point but you know, it's almost like if any picture of a super natural creature comes out now, not only has it been photoshopped but completely computer generated too :p

I wasn't having a dig by the way, I was just generalizing. :)

[redman]

That looks fake as fuck.

[bluechip]

I'm from Michigan and I thought everybody in Louisiana from the back woods looked like that.:eek:

[size_of_light]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1337542/The-dead-night-forest-ghoul-caught-camera.html

and one comment posted claimed the figure had been stolen from a video game he had seen two years ago.

So some random online boob claims he saw a video game 'two years ago' with the figure in it? What this really means is that the poster who made this claim doesn't remember which game it was and can't find a photo of the figure to compare it to, or it wouldn't just be described as 'a video game he had seen two years ago'.

Conspiracy theorists will no doubt note the similarity between the figure's crouching pose and that used by Spider-Man,

Well that's just a ridiculous thing to say.

I hate the Daily Mail.

Here's a techno remix version of the 'Fallen Angel' creature from Spain that repeats the shot back and forth so you can get a good look at it's face:

Somebody posted above that this has been debunked. Any links to that?

Here's a couple of stills of that little fella:

And here's a better enhancement I did of the hunter's trailcam image. Whoever did the enhancement on the cryptomundo page totally botched it up and made the eyes look fake, when with a proper brightness adjustment they look much more natural:

http://i56.tinypic.com/eio0ts.jpg

That took ten seconds to do.

So why are cryptomundo - the "go to" site for these sorts of things - posting an enhancement instead that immediately makes everybody who sees it think it's fake?

Here's the same 'faked eye' photo used in the MSNBC segment, where two newsreader bimbos make the usual inane comments with X-Files music playing in the background:

NBC 33: Creepy Louisiana Hunting Pics - YouTube

Also check out also the Yahoo News story below. The title says it all when it comes to the mainstream media's approach to these sorts of things:

Hilariously fake Louisiana ‘swamp monster’, ugh, raises eyebrows

This is why slow news days are dangerous.

A viewer who asked to remain anonymous (hmmm...nothing fishy about that!) submitted a photo taken by a camera mounted on a deer stand of an "alien-looking thing" to WVLA -- the NBC affiliate in Baton Rouge, La. Some are calling it a "swamp monster." MSNBC even ran a segment on it this afternoon, and Twitter is all, well, atwitter over it. So will this be the next "monster" to captivate the nation?

Probably not.

The unnamed viewer claims that picture was taken in Berwick, La, a tiny community near the coastal town of Morgan City, La, and that the camera that took it, along with the deer stand it was mounted to, were destroyed, presumably by the creature captured in the photo. However, the camera's SIM card remained intact, allowing the owner to retrieve the pictures off of it.

You can watch a WVLA story on the photo below:

Seeing as Baton Rouge, and indeed, most of Louisiana, has become Hollywood South in recent years, our first thought was that this might be an attempt at viral marketing for an upcoming film. But as it turns out, it's most likely just a lame prank being played by run-of-the-mill tricksters.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_thelookout/20101210/ts_yblog_thelookout/hilariously-fake-louisiana-swamp-monster-ugh-raises-eyebrows

The link from the Yahoo site that they use to support their claim it's "most likely just a lame prank being played by run-of-the-mill tricksters" goes here:

NBC 33 Baton Rouge might have frightened a good part of the population during a recent news cast.

The news comes via IO9 and was reportedly taken on a reserve in Berwick near Morgan City. The person who submitted the picture chooses to remain anonymous claims the picture comes from a deer cam. The anonymous donor also claims the entire camp was massacred.

The camera, which must detect movement triggering it to snap a picture, was also destroyed. The SDHC card however, somehow remained intact during the destruction according to the submitter.

Sounds like a not so elaborate hoax to me, but if not, could it be viral marketing for a film or television show? Is it possible that JJ Abrams' "Super 8" has started their viral marketing? Maybe a video game?

What do you think?

Looks like our very own Mac McCoy might have uncovered the mystery. He found another photo with a different time stamp 11/30/10 featuring the same creature in the same pose. The corner of the photo also features a company name in the bottom left hand corner "Wildgame Innovations"

Some research into the company reveals it is a hunting site that specializes in these types of cameras. It is possible that the company is using this humanoid to drum up business for their cameras.

http://i56.tinypic.com/wtev48.jpg

http://thinkmcflythink.squarespace.com/movie-news/2010/12/10/strange-humanoid-photo-surfaces-viral-marketing.html

No mention of where thinkmcflythink's "very own Mac McCoy" found "another photo" with a different timestamp on it however, so it's hardly evidence of fakery at this point.

I could just as easily change the timestamp on Photoshop, put a sizeoflight logo in the bottom corner instead and then there'd be another version of it floating around too.

[size_of_light]

Update: This appears to be a hoax. See the posting and comments that follow at our new entry, here.

http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/la-pic/

Louisiana Photo: Super 8 Viral Marketing!!

The site io9 is noting that according to Movieweb, the above image is Super 8 viral marketing that began on a hunting supply site’s Facebook page and wended its way to mainstream media:

It first appeared on Wildgame Innovation’s Facebook page. It is a picture reportedly snapped by a deer hunter on a reserve in Berwick, near Morgan City, Louisianna [sic]. It was originally being passed off as real, but now inside sources close to the production say its actually a viral image from Super 8. There is even video from a young Weirton, West Virginia extra called “Crying Girl”, who talks about having a run in with this creature in the movie.

There's a clip at the above link for this "Crying Girl" extra, but it wont load for me.

[disorder2k8]

Yeah I've heard of super 8, its the new film by JJ Abrams and I think Spielberg is part of it.

As for the pic, it does look a bit dodgy.

[size_of_light]

As for the pic, it does look a bit dodgy.

I've looked at the io9.com page and also movieweb.com and there's still nothing that really establishes it's connected to Super 8, or to a game called Resistance 3, which is another claim.

Cryptomundo are once again distorting things by announcing the hoax, since here's what io9.com actually say:

In the (fairly mundane) video, the girl talks about being trapped on a plane, where a "zombie" attacks her and her mother. Frankly, I'm of the mind that these "viral marketing" allegations are just a cover-up for the chupacabra factory Uncle Sam's running down in the Louisiana bayou.

http://io9.com/5712029/is-the-louisiana-forest-monster-super-8-viral-marketing


Wouldn't surprise me at all if it is does turn out to be viral marketing, but so far there's only rumours floating around that it is.

[disorder2k8]

You have to go on both common sense and past evidence. Not many of these creatures have been found or documented, neither have their footprints, droppings, food remains or anything significant noted. So it might be safe to relegate this to myths or fakery.

I guess seeing is believing when it comes to this kind of creature, yes in an ideal world it would be good to see one for yourself. But the only source of these types of things is a place where manipulation is so easy to do these days and it makes it hard to judge. The only creatures or beasts I've ever seen have been in some form of media, never real life.

Yes, this would be very easy to fake digitally.

The best thing it had (has?) going for it is how similar it looks to the thing caught on video in Spain, but even then a Photoshop artist could have based his creation on that vid anyway.

This has the stench of a hoax about it now for sure.

does this coincide with other sightings of a swamp monster in louisiana or is this just the title they've given this guy?

Not sure.

On the cryptomundo site it only mentions this:

Nearby, relatively speaking, are the reports of the Honey Island Swamp monster, a hairy humanoid or anthropoid cryptid reported from Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana since 1963. To Native Americans, this cryptid is called Letiche. Cajun have named it the Tainted Keitre.

Re: the viral marketing story, there seems to be an information loop between the io9.com site and the Wildgame Innovations Facebook page, since the former suggests it might be viral marketing because it appears on the Facebook page, and the Facebook page merely links back to that story at io9.

Damn internet.

There's still no solid basis to this viral hoax rumour that I can find as of now.

[biblegirl]

you mean there's no basis to this being a hoax or no basis to it being real?

[size_of_light]

No real basis for it being a viral marketing campaign yet, because the cryptomundo statement that it 'seems to be one' goes to io9.com, which reports that Movieweb says it is, but Movieweb doesn't have any more info on that than io9.com does, which is just a suggestion that it's connected to the movie Super 8.

And the Facebook page that io9.com and movieweb.com reference where the Wildgame Innovations logo is shown superimposed on the image just links back to the io9.com article! :D

[biblegirl]

okay gotcha, well done :)

hmm! not sure why the Daily Fail keeps insisting on this spiderman connection :D

The hunter said he was lying in wait in the pitch black when a ghoulish spectre filled his sights.
Its eyes glowing in the light of his torch, it leapt from the undergrowth and flashed a look at the camera before vanishing back into the bushes.

Are they related? The 'forest ghoul' bears a resemblance to Spider-Man, whose latest screen outing has just gone into production
The hunter, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was so frightened he said he broke the camera but retrieved the image from its undamaged memory chip.
The picture was taken on a reserve in Berwick near Morgan City, Louisiana.

Yeah, that's the link that goes to io9.com, and then round and round in circles.

Something that doesn't support it being a viral marketing campaign for Super 8 is that the teaser trailer:

'Super 8' Teaser Trailer:
'Super 8' Trailer - YouTube

begins with the words:

In 1979, the U.S. Air Force closed a section of Area 51...

...All materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio.

Then we see a train crashing and some creature inside one of the compartments buckling the steel trying to get out, so presumably the film is about aliens on the loose.

Louisiana is nowhere near a direct train route from Nevada to Ohio, so the decision to publish a fake photo of a creature supposedly seen in Louisiana doesn't make much sense if it's going to turn out to be promoting the Super 8 movie.



A version of the image from ghosttheory.com with the settings changed that makes it look pretty fake:

No, no monster in the clip.

This post from over at ghosttheory.com by David R is a good one with some useful links and background:

This one is fun…

Something you guys should know. The person who apparently owns the pic started a thread on it on an Archery forum. He also has other game cam pics at the same spot, including daytime, and of himself.

http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1366975

There is a Trapper forum where someone also took credit for the pic, that seems to be the source of the one with a separate date. That person does not seem to be posting anymore since that group began asking questions. The guy with the original images has stated he does not know who this other person is (contrary to what someone on the trapper site said he said).

http://www.trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/2276069/1.html

I looked at that Super 8 & Louisiana Swamp Monster stuff, and I have this suspicion that they are likewise just trying to benefit from the similar publicity for the release of their film. Kinda like monster films sometimes use various bigfoot photos in their story buildup. Same as UFO films including photos of famous alleged ufos. The guy on Archery site hasn’t commented on that the Super 8 aspect yet.

The creatures looks very similar to the Demon video footage of a few years ago. Another similar film came out around that time too where it was added in promos, but I couldn’t find an actual connection to the film itself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZtY7368dxs

NOW, I did one little step of simple filtering in photoshop that revealed something very interesting. I focused on the eyes and used a High Pass filter to bring out the hidden detail in them, basically removing the white out effect. Look closely. There appears to be different levels of definition between the Iris and what may be the Sclera (whites). I highly doubt anyone would have EVER thought of this very peripheral step when completely whiting out the eyes in a photoshopped hoax to simply show flash reflection. Hopefully the pic will show up OK.

http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/f670c1db01c965da4a946b68c6ad3d6e539b7be34f73bc1599 8eb9d51fd240d26g.jpg

I think this actually reveals that there is actual physiological variation & structure of the eyeballs. Its important! Does it mean creature or person? If person, then other issues may pose contradictions in the photo. I may join the Archery site to post this and ask the person a few key questions that he hasn’t addressed.

So I dunno, because of the detail of the eyes, and the individual is showing some corroborating material, I’m not passing judgement yet and will keep an open mind in order to see how it pans out. Hang onto those magic beans there Javier, although I don’t think I’ll pay you for em. lol

There's also a site I can't remember the link to at the moment that shows the 'monsters' in this Super 8 movie and they look nothing like this.

Also the 'Crying Girl' video that is mentioned at cryptomundo, io9.com and movieweb.com as supporting evidence for this being Super 8 viral marketing has absolutely nothing to do with the trailcam photo, so I don't know why it's even been included.

Personally I think this is a hoax from reading the comments of Hillbilli Willi and Teen Trapper Fox on the archery and trapper forums above (reminds me of Coyote's lies when he was doing the "Dave's Dad" thing) and also because of the enhanced image Javier Ortega has put up over at ghost theory (the creature looks totally Photoshopped in that version), but as far as it being viral marketing for this or that, there's zero evidence at the moment.

well, it was vigourously de-bunked in teh mainstream press

so i'm saying ........ REAL.

What is I don't know, probably an biological robot of some sort, a P.G.L.F. , like teh 'greys' who do grunt work for more developed Extra Terrestrials

But I think this one is more likely a NSA/U.S. shadow government toy

like those quadraped mechanno DOG robots they have that look like two men's legs and lower torso taped together, the ones that sound like a lego motor burning out.

except those robots are teh bogus one for teh public to see so they will think that DARPA are still stuck at teh 1950 level of technology

the one pictured above is teh REAL one that we are not supposed to know about, also they have conveniently designed it to look like a 'ghostly apparition' so most 'sightings' would be dismissed as teh usual 'x files' bunkum

[smokey_shaman]

I found a website debunking it---> HERE (http://byjov.blogspot.com/2010/12/mystery-alienzombie-hunting-pic.html) Very creepy looking but the website shows some good facts. I am more or less wondering where they would of gotten the image from to superimpose it.

the video game marketing hypothesis seems quite likely, the 'creature' does look like the kind of thing that would jump out at you in a game like 'DOOM'

and the 'dark blur' around the head does indicate some trickery
strange that the mainstream media 'de bunk' articles did not mention such details and just dismissed it, possibly thier offhand ridicule was PART of a 'viral marketing' campain?

so where did they get the pic? an emaciated hillbilly kid wearing his uncles long johns and shoulder pads from an 'american football' kit? painted white and with a mask on?

It looks undead. Is Z-day finally upon us?

[smokey_shaman]

And "the hunter" never shot at it? I'm calling bullshit.
Naw, he said it was captured on a trail camera. So he really never had a chance to shoot at it. So just like that manged bear "baby bigfoot" trail camera in PA, we may never know.

As a hunter cam it could have been mounted to a tree and left. They can be motion activated, the camera owner need not be present.

BUT!

The caption under the photo reads it was taken by a 'broken surveillance camera'??????

Stop lurking the back field, you're making the dogs bark! :p

So, do we agree it looks like the thing in my vid clip?

Well, it was but a quick glimpse, but it did resemble the OP's boogie man.

Hi demontricks.

There's a thread about it here too:

[size_of_light]

I found a website debunking it---> HERE (http://byjov.blogspot.com/2010/12/mystery-alienzombie-hunting-pic.html) Very creepy looking but the website shows some good facts. I am more or less wondering where they would of gotten the image from to superimpose it.

Thanks for the link there.

I sometimes wonder how reliable EXIF data is, because it shows that the image has ben run through Photoshop and also, for example, Paint.

There's no reason to run it through Paint as well if you're using Photoshop to fake the photo, since Photoshop can do anything Paint can do and more.

The point made at the link that if you:

"Download both pictures, although EXIF data is missing from both pictures you can clearly tell the mystery photo was manipulated as it's pixel size is different.

The deer photo is 1797 x 1348 px.
The mystery photo is 1705 x 1279 px.

doesn't really amount to anything, other than to tell us that the photo has been resized, which isn't suspicious in itself if you're preparing an image to be uploaded.

This enhancement he did though, looks like good evidence that somebody has used the blur tool on the top of the head:

and the one over at ghosttheory:

reveals it to look pretty bogus indeed.

lose a contact lense again? :rolleyes:

[smokey_shaman]

Where did the old thread go? Shouldn't it of merged and not completely disappeared? Anyway like I posted earlier I found a website that tries to debunk it---> HERE (http://byjov.blogspot.com/2010/12/mystery-alienzombie-hunting-pic.html) . More I look at it more I think the eye shine is fake. Even in the original photo. It looks to me someone just used the burn tool in PS. But if you look at the things right had hand there is an actual shadow from the twig when the IR Flash went off. Now that's easy to fake if you know anything about PS. The whole resolution problem most people are talking about could of just been when he cropped the photo or adjusted the file size. I say its pretty up in the air till after the super 8 movie and Resistance 3 comes out and no one can back it up and say it was really one of their viral campaigns.

it reminds me a lot of this video of a fallen angel in spain (supposedly debunked)

It's uncanny how similar the photo and the video are. Maybe they are both part of a larger hoax? Or there is a being like that on two continents? :confused:

I don´t know, but the spanish vid is some years old,
when I saw it first, it scared the shit out of me..

It still rings authentic in my guts when I watch it,
the photo?
Looks cheesy at first sight...

Betcha at least 3000 of them wouldn't be caught dead lurking here, let alone commenting or entertaining ideas about anything so preposterous as 'monsters' either. :D

Holy shiiiit that was freaky :eek:, no matter how ready I was to see something like this :rolleyes:

[zephiloyd]

During a evening forage, a strange creature was caught on a deer stand camera near Berwick, Louisiana. The hunter returned the next morning to find his camera broken, but the memory card was still inside.

Hey sol, I've been looking up information for Pripyat and ran across this video with a creature that looked kind of like the one in this thread, especially the glowing eyes. I wish I knew what they were saying while they were booking it out of there.
