'Bigfoot' photographed in Virginia

What did O'Neal's father capture on camera ? Image Credit: YouTube / Randy O'Neal
The image of a dark-haired hominid on the banks of a river has been circulating the Internet.
The picture was uploaded by Randy O'Neal whose father snapped the spectacle while on a boat trip along the Intercoastal Waterway in Virginia last weekend.

The image has generated a significant degree of skepticism on social media due to the indistinct features of the creature with critics arguing that it could actually be little more than a tree stump or some other mundane object.
O'Neal however believes otherwise and is convinced that it is real. "I can honestly say that these are the clearest, most 'non-blurred' images I personally have ever seen," he said.

25 years ago he recalls encountering a creature with strange red eyes in the darkness during a camping trip with his father and is so convinced that the photograph shows a genuine Bigfoot that he has placed it online so that other Internet users can attempt to prove that it is a fake.

Placed online so that we can try and prove it fake, meaning no matter what people say i won't believe them unless they agree with me. since when has the burden of proof been on the skeptic. i would have thought the lack of any concrete evidence and the fact that any child with a mobile phone could take a clearer picture than this would be proof enough. I mean this is the U.S even the forests of Virginia are filled with campers hikers, hunters not to mention the people that live and work there, and it seems not one of them can take a decent picture. and lots of black bears which this most likel...

and lots of black bears which this most likely is. To be honest i don't even see that to me this is just shadow and imagination, but i agree that most people who genuinely believe they have seen a bigfoot are actually seeing bears.

Fine by me if "it" stays in VA, we got enough "wild life things" in N.C. without another one moving from the VA sister state just South of "her". :w00t:

It looks more like a volkswagon than a bigfoot, maybe the very same volkswagon they shot 25 years ago.

That's so incredibly blurry that it is impossible to tell what it is. Not quite what I would call quality photographical evidence.

In Randy O'Neal's , two photos were taken of a black humanoid figure standing in front of a large tree stump. The 1st photo (left) was taken approximately 45 degrees left of where the 2nd photo was taken. In the 1st photo, the thin tree stump [A1] on the far left is now obscured by the slightly larger tree stump [A2] in the 2nd photo. Also, in the 1st photo, the small island of roots [C] on the far right is now dead center in the 2nd photo. This action indicates that the photographer walked a considerable distance in order to get a better picture. However, during his trek, the figure never mov... [More]

I used to think it was a shadow, but maybe it is a burn/char mark?
