The "Gable Film" has sparked great controversy and many different theories in recent years, the footage shows a large creature charging towards the cameraman out in the woods. Is it an unknown creature or could it simply be a bear ?
The “Gable film” is an edited 8mm film that has been raising a lot of questions and theories for the last few years. Many have declared this to be an elaborate hoax created by someone wanting to capitalize on the “Michigan Dogman” stories."

I think this might explain a lot: Snout / Muzzle like that of a dog attacking the camera at the end of the film. Gait / Walk like that of a Gorilla at the first sighting in the film, prior to them getting out of the vehicle. The correct approximate size. Low rear end. Wide front end girth What do you think? I think it may be the same animal also it runs with great speed for the size animal it is and it does not run like a bear. The teeth in the video look like the same. Could this animal rip a person in half how big can these get?

Without question, the video does not depict a bear! Bears legs begin under the body, shoulder line is well below the chin. The shoulders of this creature are above the jaw line and I have only ever seen this on a primate. The arm and shoulder dimensions are consistant with a gorilla's, having said this, it looks far too bulky and too low to the ground for a gorilla. We ourselves are primates and I see nothing in the movement of this creature to suggest the simian might not just be one of us in a costume. People are mentioning the speed but the camera comes off the object very quickly and the r... [More]

The thing that makes it seem unreal for me is the part when you see his face and then death....

I don't think it has a tail. It's actually a blackspot, due to the quality of the camera.

I have to disagree, sorry, but seriously whose to say that the guy sees something thats out of the ordinary grabs his camera, starts filming it and then is spotted by the creature, chased and... your right, but whats with the scene at the truck, then the man chopping wood? It's not like the camera is panning between these scenes, it's been deliberately edited! Who edits the footage of someone being killed to incorperate these random activities?? It is deeply suspicious in my book.

The camera that was used is a manual winding camera capable of up to two minutes of recording before needing to be wound. So the different segments are obviously in between the windings.

Well I watched it about 100 more times. The animal running part is pretty real and it looks like to me someone just threw the camera down and made a trail out of there. This film could have even been filmed in Africa or anywhere else a large ape like creature could have been found in the woods like this. But the teeth and the eye part I feel are fake. The footage was bad enough and that camera filming inside the animals mouth like that would have been very dark. And the eye was much to clear and in focus for this camera that close up. Who knows maybe a Zoo Keeper made the film and it took a fe... [More]

I have been pretty interested in this film since seeing it for the first time a few days ago, but am unfortunetly going to call hoax for the time being. Or at least call hoax on the last part of it. I hadnt noticed this myself untill i had it pointed out to me via another frame by frame video on youtube seen . It's the very last part of the film where the creatures teeth are shown. When slowed down it seems to show what looks to be wire meshing around the jaw, as if a dog or some other creature has its mouth through a hole in its enclosure, trying to bite the camera which has been put near its...
