George Ford Posted June 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) 1st I've heard or seen of it. On one of the photos you can see the head mask is a different color then the body. So I dunno why it was not debunked immediately. Edited June 27, 2014 by bulveye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didya See That Posted June 27, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The pictures were just blurry enough to be taken seriously, and it's a good thing they were, or we might have seen the actor answering the call of nature.

Leonardo Posted June 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2014 The photo on the right is an obvious hoax, but in the photo on the left you can clearly see the red circle around the mysterious figure - proving it's authenticity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancient astronaut Posted June 27, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 27, 2014 What's this world coming to? Gollum can't even take a p*** anymore without someone wanting to catch a snapshot of him, fame is a b****. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendy Demon Posted June 27, 2014 #17 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Are people really that gullible and naive that they can be so readily "baffled" by an obviously hoaxed image? What happened to critical thinking? Has that finally been killed off by woo and superstition of all sorts? I mean, how could anyone even think it was remotely real unless one grew up in a closet wearing blinders and earplugs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted June 27, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 27, 2014 To cry wolf ... we have been so taken advantage of by hoaxers, that even if this were the real thing, no one would believe it anyway. Video lacking a credible source is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted June 29, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 29, 2014 We all like to suspend our disbelief and enjoy a good yarn or mystery. I try to take all the stories and pictures in the spirit in which they are given. Ii's nice to have one's curiosity piqued, if only for a moment or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skep B Posted June 29, 2014 #22 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just some poor guy with numerous physical and mental disabilities. If you watch the old Black and white film "Freaks" theres a few of the individuals in it that have similar problems. SO, yes Mishkin nailed that one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrooma Posted June 29, 2014 #24 Share Posted June 29, 2014 there are quite a few heroin addicts in my town, so i see wizened-up, Gollum-like creatures almost every day! . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenceMinisterMishkin Posted June 29, 2014 #25 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I believe the condition is called Microcephaly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcephaly Otherwise rather cruely known as "Pinhead" syndrome. Your right about the movie Freaks having a Microcephalic character, and also more recently the second season of American Horror Story had a microcephalic character. Aside from that, this poor guy seems to suffer from numerous other physical conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
