A deer hunter caught this on camera. It's legs and arms look too thin for it to be any human. Maybe some kind of prop?

What do you think?

Thats similar to this one
YouTube - Possible fallen angel in Catalonia (Spain)

That video was a prank and I guess this picture is one is too.

Looks like a hoax....
But of course it could be a mountain man out for a midnight crap?

It looks to be a man with skinny arms wearing a leotard that has been made to look all veiny...and with some sort of special effects for the eyes...I'd say it's definately a set up.

Not that it isn't an effective one. It scared the crap out of me when I first saw it!

Maybe its too scary for you to handle thats why you mind is tricking you in believing its fake. Next time your out alone at night you going to encounter it

<--- actually looks like the ghoul thing doesnt it, im never gonna look at that the same way again.

Maybe? It was definately freakin' scary, fake or real. If it is real, that's FREAKIN' SCARY

The vid you showed was even scarier. It really seemed like a very real reaction from those men shooting the vid...and the creature did not seem to be acting either. Maybe they are just really good actors?

...Once again I'm betrayed by my curiosity. Ah...! Nightmares in the coming days

Even if its fake its scary. But I think its fake. I mean...I'm just gonna assume its fake

elucidate · 12-11-2010, 10:59 PM

I HOPE it's fake

I recently learned how to do this in a Digital Media class. If you look at the image of the ghoul and then look at the surrounding area, you can definitely see a difference in the pixilation. This photo was altered.

Some of the comments on supertoms vid are pretty funny though.

secrets0stolen · 12-12-2010, 12:20 AM

It looks like a bio luminescent Gollum!

But yeah, it's fake.

Mounds · 12-12-2010, 12:58 AM

Try to get away from the hustle of the city and this is what you get... can't I get a little privacy?

(Your new profile pic ROCKS, btw!

I admit it scared the hell out of me for a second

It's pretty certain it's a fake thing, I photoshop stuff and seen way better photocompilations than this one. I've also seen drawn-from-scratch pictures that look more real than that.

This story claims it is a viral marketing campaign for the movie Super 8.

Is the Louisiana forest monster Super 8 viral marketing?
