Geocaching site photos!, Is this a bigfoot they photographed? Options

Good point Goldie, either its a ways off or a smaller animal.
Welcome back Belle!!!

Interesting to see it was called the "Wildman Creek Cache."

Is there a creek actually called Wildman near that area in Oklahoma?

That white vertical splotch is a little odd as it seems to change from photo to photo. At first I thought it was on the window. I think DDA could be right, it could be a reflected.

I tried enhancing the photos but couldn't get much out of them.

[walkingcarpet]

The back of the vehicle has a window. It is up or closed and we are all looking at reflections from interior lights being reflected off it and into a camera a person inside is using. The one picture showing what looks like a humanoid form with glowing eyes may just be a reclining person inside the vehicle with a camera that emits IR for exposure in the dark, reflecting off the window and back onto the surface of the camera lens, thus making two spots. In one picture the spots are not symmetrical.   and I don't think it is winking at the camera.

[ADDED] Looking at "Beware of this Man" picture shows two questionable light spots at the top of the lens the man is holding. These may be IR emitters.

I thought the same thing, initially. But the first picture--'something is spooking Taryn'--seems to have been taken outside the vehicle, or at least with the back door open (this seems less likely, since no part of the door frame is visible and I doubt it goes up that high).

So many questions...

It would be very useful to know if the camera was in the same position in all four shots, since the eyes don't seem to be. And if a fourth person took the pics--if the window is up in 'spooking Taryn', it could be the eyes of the photgrapher being reflected, which would also account for the 'humanoid shape'. (The lighter streak down the middle of said shape is almost certainly the tree clearly visible in the first shot.) I don't nothin' 'bout no infra-red, but it clearly makes peoples eyes glow. At first, I mistook it for light reflecting off of their glasses, but Taryn's left eye is actually above her lens. DDA, would IR catch the eyeshine of someone in the vehicle? And why am I getting so worked up over a picture someone took of an owl in a tree?

One thing about geocachers, you can never tell if the name they give their caches have any significance or not. Most of ours do, but a couple of them, like Soccerfish and Camomayo were spur of the moment names. But they fit for the caches.

Well, you did start the thread...

But you never posted any e-mail adresses, so...

My apologies.

[Ocoee]

OK, I took those pictures and just inverted the colors in Paint. In the first one, you can see a tall body shape holding some sort of big stick in front of it. In the second (the group shot) when I reversed it, the tree behind the people jumped into sharp detail, but the body of "the thing" did not. I'm no photography expert, but that seems rather strange, since the thing is standing supposedly right beside that tree. Hmmmmm.

[Josh Willard]

WOW! Them pics explain a lot now!!! Thanks for showing us that, Ocoee

[uffda320]

I agree with DDA...we're seeing a reflection off the window. If anyone's ever tried to take a picture thru a window, especially at night, you'll see exactly the same thing.

[Josh Willard]

To be honest with you, that hasn't happened to me, but it did to my dad! I laughed at him too! .....Just kidding!

[Ocoee]

WOW! Them pics explain a lot now!!! Thanks for showing us that, Ocoee

What do you think it explains? As I said, I'm not a photographer.

I dont think they are taken from the same angle Ococe. Thats why the tree seems to move?

Cache is just SW of Lawton in SW Oklahoma. By Fort Sill. I find the photos quite creepy!

Someone mentioned smells and other stuff? If you can get into this forum, and copy and paste text for us that would help with background (or is that like unethical?)

I thought these photos were interesting and creepy, too, and that's why I bothered to look at them more closely. I know there is alot of activity in Oklahoma, and the story that goes with these photos is interesting.

I don't know what to make of the first picture of the "guy with the dog leash." Whatever it is seems to be holding a stick the same way a human holds a golf club.

I don't think I ever said that the tree moved, did I? I only see a tree in the group picture. What I said, or meant to say, is that when I reversed the picture, the tree came into sharp relief and you can see every twig, but the body of the "creature" standing near it - the one with the glowing eyes - doesn't show up. It seems to be standing in a fog. Only the eyes show up.

I'm really not saying these pictures are hoaxed at all. Since all we have are the photos, I'm just trying to look at them as photos.

I went back and looked at the other three photos and reversed them. Whatever this thing is, it doesn't seem to move a muscle, even while people are flashing cameras in it's direction.

[SOFoggy]

Hmmm,...what kinda gets me is where the author asks his friend "Tim what is that?", whereupon the guy turns and sees eyes staring back at him. Shortly following this, evidently, that last photo is taken and they skeedaddle. So, apparently both gentlemen actually saw the critter-and-or-eyeshine with their nekkid peepers (as, it seems likely, did the young lady). If true, it would kinda-sorta negate the reflected IR transmitters explanation wouldn't it? - What's interesting to me, too, though, is they apparently smelled a foul odor early on, but not later when the alleged critter was observing them from fairly close range.

I dunno. That last photo is pretty intriguing. If it's a reflection of the photographer it sure is weird that he doesn't appear to be sitting in the vehicle, but instead apparently standing outside and you can see all the way down to what would be the tops of his socks. Also, based on what is apparently the position of the shoulders, doesn't the eyeshine/reflection seem a bit unnaturally elevated for a human? Maybe not.

If the account is to be believed at all, then they were definitely spooked by whatever it was they saw or believed they saw. Spooked enought to throw the daughter into hysterics. OTOH, if the account is a big rotten ol' spoof, then shame-shame-shame! - <shrug> Mayhaps they watched the "Blair Witch Project" one too many times.

[billgreen2005big...]

hi everyone wow this is a very interesting photo of a possible sasquatch watching the researchers. did they find sasquatch footprints etc in the area. please keep me posted about this. bill

[chrisandclauida2]

notes fron the ones who found the prize and the night they had.all from the web site. i deleted some things like e-mail addresses and the gps coordinates to the locqation. i did so to avoid stepping on any ones toes. but like all things they are very simple to find if your a member of this site. it sounds like and excelent research area or at least a possible area that needs attention. but it seems like there are already researchers who use this area and want to keep is secret. little known to them[probably] that their research area is posted for all to see and it exact gps location is online also. if you go out there dont be an ass and destroy or touch or handle any of their stuff that may be left around for their research. i post this only for info and any value for education. it provides context to the pictures posted or found on the site.

WARNING: DO NOT CACHE WITH PARKERMEN. “Let’s go get the new
cache tonight”, says Parkermen, “O.K.” says I. Pmen is/was the
king of night caches, so sure, sounded great, I have not been
able to night cache for a while, due to a bad chest cold that
would not give up. I was just glad to be well enough to accept
the invitation, what a fool I am.
I read the page and just laughed. I am not laughing now.
We got to the site, it STANK, BAD, like dead rotting skunk (I
have washed my jeans and they still stink), and the place was
creepy with a capital CREEPY. Thankfully the cache was easy to
find, but Pmen wanted to take pics, WHATEVER! I am coughing
like crazy and Pmen’s daughter is freaking out, I was ready to
do what ever it took for Pmen to let us go home.
Finally pics are done and we are packing up and Pmen is taking
my pic (again) so I take his pic. At this point events get
upgraded from creepy, to full rock and roll scary. Pmen is
checking the pics and he gets this weird look on his face,
“There’s something behind you!” Yea right, monkeys always
look. Finally, I look, my eyes were tearing from coughing so
hard, but what ever it was that was there was HUGE. I think I
scared it too, as I was getting in the car I heard splashing
down in the creek.
The ride home was looooong, Pman’s daughter was sobbing and I
am no longer on speaking terms with Pman.

Man-O-Man, we thought you were kidding about something being
out here. We'll never comeback to this place again! Should
have never tried this at night. My daughter keeps saying that
she wants to go home that she doesn't like it here; something
is giving her the creeps. Found cache fairly easy but what we
didn't realize was that something was watching us. Just when
we were packing up the car, I was taking a picture of Baron at
the back of the car and something catches my attention. I said
Tim what is that? Baron turns around and sees a pair of eyes
staring back at him. Tried to get some more pictures but we
were shaking so bad and in a panic to get out of there. My
daughter is just screaming and crying and cannot get her to
settle down. And then after a long drive home, after changing
into a pair of clean jeans, we discover in some of the other
photos that this thing was watching us all along. Sorry Baron
I talked you into going, I know you weren't feeling well and
really didn't want to go. Now I know why.
Took a book and I forgot what we dropped off.

[Ice Cream]

Hello! This is my first post. I have been a long-time lurker for months, maybe a year, but haven't registered until now. I have read so many of your posts and have learned a lot.

I am very reluctant to make this post because I know the high standard that this forum has for scientific proof. Any opinion I post concerning photos taken at night will necessarily be not only of blobsquatches, but Blobsquatches of the Night which are far less conclusive. But I fiddled around with these images in GIMP for Windows and found some settings that I find interesting. I thought that some of the members on this board might re-create my tests and perhaps shed some light on this.

What I found was that the closeup image of the "stick-holder" has what looks to be the side of a head just to the right of the eyeshine where you would expect the side of the head to be. In the photo with the people posing I found that by increasing both contrast and brightness you can make out what looks like a mouth area. I also found that what appears to be eyeshine is not uniform but that the edges of the "eyes" are reflecting more light than the centers. I don't know if the eyeshine of apes is reflected greater from the outside of the eyes than the center, but when viewed in the GIMP Curves tool the photo of the people posing is rather striking.

One note: I am new to digital photo manipulation and have only been experimenting with it. I may not know what I'm talking about so don't let me sway your judgment.

I made the following settings in GIMP for Windows using the Brightness and Contrast Tool, the Threshold Tool and the Curves Tool. Photoshop has all these tools but I'm not sure if the settings would be the same.

For clarity I will refer to the closeup photo of the stick-holder as StickSquatch and the photo with the people posing as PosingSquatch. I'm not claiming that these Night-Blobs are actually a sasquatch.

1. In PosingSquatch go into the Brightness and Contrast Tool (Tools > Color Tools > Brightness-Contrast) and adjust the brightness +101 and the contrast +104. Now zoom in on the "eyes." The area around the "eyes" becomes more distinct and you can see what looks like a mouth area just below it. Between these the colors fade into the background suggesting that if this blobsquatch is indeed a squatch-blobsquatch then the darker hair on either side of the nose isn't reflecting as much light as the less-haired mouth and eyes.

2. In StickSquatch go into the Brightness and Contrast Tool and move the brightness +65 and the contrast +109 and look to the right of the "eyes." You can see what looks like the dim outline of a head. It starts up at the top side of the "head" and comes down curving around a "chin" and fades. It's dim but if you adjust your brightness and contrast a bit up and down you can see it.

In #3 and #4 the "eyes" in both the posing photo and in the outside holding-the-stick photo appear to be separated into brighter irises and darker pupils. I found this by working with the Curves tool on the posing photo and the Threshold Tool in the stick photo.

3. In PosingSquatch, zoom in on the eyes. Bring up the Curves Tool (Tools > Color Tools > Curves). You will see a high spike in the histogram which is the dark-end of the colors sloping down sharply to the lighter levels which are much lower. Select two adjustment points along the histogram. Set the first point on the dark end just shy of the 1/4 vertical line and just below the middle horizontal line. Then set your second point above where the lighter end of the histogram stops. This indicates the brightest values. Now darken the brightest values by pulling the second point low. You will see dark rings around the "eyes" where the irises would be, indicating that what is darker in this setting is actually the brightest area, reflecting light much better than the pupil of the "eye."

If I'm not explaining well (or simply don't know what I'm talking about... ) here is the GIMP Curves file I used for PosingSquatch. Select everything between the dashed lines including the "# GIMP Curves File" and copy it to a text editor. GIMP didn't save it with a .txt extension so if your editor adds ".txt" to the filename then go in and delete the ".txt". Now bring up the GIMP Curves Tool and PosingSquatch and zoom in on the eyes but not too close. In Curves click the Open button and open the Curves file you created. You'll see the dark circles around the "eyes" which are with these settings the brighter areas of the image which are reflecting the most light.

# GIMP Curves File

----------------

4. I found that I was able to get the same eye-circle effect as the Curves Tool experiment in #3 on PosingSquatch in the StickSquatch photo, but this time using the Threshold Tool. Bring up StickSquatch in GIMP and the Threshold Tool (Tools > Color Tools > Threshold). You want to select to see the higher-end of the histogram only so take the little black arrow and drag it to just right of the dark histogram spike. Next take the little white arrow and drag it to where the lighter end of the histogram fades away. Now only the lighter parts of the image will show. Now drag the black arrow to the right until the "eyes" become the only thing visible outside of the car. (Spooky, huh? ) They are hollow circles, meaning that the outside of the "eyes" reflect light better than the "pupils."

From these two settings (3. and 4.) I don't believe the lights are artificial lights. I would think an artificial light source would be brighter at the center than at the edges.

Question: Is the eye-shine of apes or other animals brighter from their irises than their pupils? What about owls? Deer?

From the low resolution of these photos I don't think we can come to any certainty as to what these people encountered. It would be nice if someone could contact these people, obtain higher-resolution images and run these tests again. That they felt a fear reaction before they saw the "eyes" is suggestive that something interesting may have been going on. I hope we can learn more about this report.

Finally, I want to ask: IF that is a sasquatch, and IF that is a long, heavy stick in his hands, does anyone else find that... unsettling? Were these people about to get mugged? A run-by sticking?

Anyway, it's good to be here! This is a great forum.

I found this on another site:

Wildman Creek Cache


Unexpected Cacher Joins Trio


By The Parkermen
Baron Von TnT (Baron for short), my 16 year old daughter Taryn, and I made our way down Interstate 44 from Tulsa to the cache site. The air was full of excitement (at least for me). The reason we were doing this cache at night is because Baron had to work until 6 p.m. He wasn't in the caching mood, not feeling well because of a cold or something. But, I talked him into it. Why we couldn't wait until the weekend was a mystery to me, but later I'd regret that decision. It was a new cache and it just couldn't wait.

It appears that "something" had been watching us all along. A pair of glowing eyes are seen in several of the photos. What these eyes belong to I don't think we'll ever want to know. As we exited off Oklahoma highway 377 and into the country, our moods began to change. The excitement was still there but fear of the unknown was beginning to creep in. Especially when you have advanced knowledge of a Bigfoot creature spotted in the area...yeah, right! The paved road turned into dirt and we wound our way deeper and deeper into this unknown part of the country. We crossed over a single lane wooden bridge with no guard rails, just one of those sights that reminded you of some old movie that had trolls waiting to pounce on you if you crossed the bridge. It didn't help our mood any!

As we got closer to the cache site, the road turned back to asphalt and the GPS was beginning to count down in feet. We approached a bridge made of concrete. It looked like a fairly new bridge, which set my mind at ease. I was expecting some old, rickety, haunted bridge, one that looked like a dozen cars had crashed through the rails, and passengers had plummeted to their deaths; bridges that you hear tales of crying ghost babies or moaning spirits still trapped in their crashed cars. But no, it was just a modern day, brand new concrete bridge.

As we exited the car, the thick musty air hit us. Taryn was beginning to whine about not wanting to be here and wanted to go home. I reassured her that everything was ok and warned Baron not to start whining or else. We heard a pumping sound off in the distance and then realized it was just an oil rig pumping oil. The sky was clear and the stars were shining brightly. I was thinking at this point, it's a beautiful night, nothing to worry about. So let's get this show on the road!

We grabbed our cameras, GPS's, and caching stuff and started looking for the best route to approach this cache. The GPS says it was under the bridge, and we finally found the best place to get down to the cache. The smell of dead rotting animal carcasses was beginning to get terrible at this point and I started getting the feeling that something was watching us, but I didn't say anything to the others, figuring I'd start a panic with the rest of the caching crew and then we'd never find this cache.

The cache was easily found, and I started to log and photograph the find as I usually do. I usually photograph the logs at caches so I can easily remember what I wrote, but for some reason I didn't do that this time. Having set up my camera on a miniature tripod, we got together for a group picture, holding the cache for photographic proof as being at the cache site. Taryn was not holding still for the picture, and I sensed something was wrong with her. Something was giving her the creeps and she was ready to bolt out of there. I didn't sense the danger at that point, didn't know what was lurking behind us. Baron was also starting to get the jitters and wanted to get the heck out of there in a big hurry.

I reassured them at this point, there's nothing to worry about, we've all been caching in the dark and nothing has bothered us before. Ha, little did I realize! We got back to the car and started packing things up and I started shooting photos of Baron at the back of the car and he started taking pictures of me, kind of a dueling camera shootout. Something grabbed my attention and I pointed the camera towards it. Two glowing eyes reflected back at us from the camera's night shot sensors. Then the panic set in. "Baron, what is that", I asked. "There's something behind you!" Baron and Taryn turned around and saw this ghostly dark figure standing a few yards behind the car, staring at them. It appeared to be holding a staff or a stick of some sort. I didn't believe what I was seeing but wasn't going to stick around to find out what it was. I snapped a few more shots in a panic as fast as I as could. Meanwhile, Taryn was screaming and shaking and begging me to get her out of there. Baron was packing things back in the car as fast as he could and headed for the passenger seat and locked himself and Taryn in the car, with me outside. Gee, thanks guys!

I fumbled with the keys, I couldn't get in the car fast enough. I finally got the car started, in gear and we were gone! Baron, at this point, was a cross between scared speechless and furious with me for talking him into going. Taryn was still shaking, still a nervous wreck. We didn't relax until were within a few miles of Tulsa.

We dropped Baron off at his car at work and quietly parted ways. We got home and changed into clean clothes (it's not from what you think!). We examined the photos from the digital camera. It appears that "something" had been watching us all along. A pair of glowing eyes are seen in several of the photos. What these eyes belong to I don't think we'll ever want to know.

We should have taken the cache name to heart. I'm not sure what it is that we learned from this, but I'll think twice about going to a cache named Wildman at night ever again!

This cache is located in an area that previously had a cache. The original cache was removed over a year ago. My brother, JeeperRick told me about the original cache and I looked it up and read the logs. I felt like this would still be a good place for a cache especially for cachers who like a little adventure. The area looks like any other country road that crosses a creek. What makes this place different? There is said to be BIGFOOT activity in the area. Hunters have been chased down the road. Several deer have been found mutilated. Rocks have been thrown at passing cars at night. Large humanlike footprints have been found. A few years ago bigfoot researchers were chased from their camp at night. Also a couple of geocachers and one of their daughters received a bad scare here one night. Read the logs of the "Wildman Creek Cache". http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...db-b379c29c4970
When I placed this cache it was the middle of the afternoon. I looked around the area and other than the occasional smell of some dead animal, I saw nothing out of the ordinary. If you go to this cache it is up to you whether you go during the day or take a chance and go at night. You are looking for a Doritos container with a logbook and some trade items. Be careful and be aware of your surroundings. This should be an easy find day or night.

[im_justin_sane]

Facinating log, a lot more in-depth than the one on geocaching.com. I've been geocaching for about 3 years now, and it's a lot of fun. I did most of my caching in Utah before I moved down here in N. Texas, but having the coordinates of the cache, I could easily pinpoint it on a map and plan a trip to the 'Wildman' area. I have a bad tendancy to hike/camp solo, and in this case I'm pretty sure I wouldn't do that. The area has had its share of sightings and history, so there's a good chance that 'something' is in that area. :willies:

And as for Ice Cream...wow, what a first post! You put some time into the photo research, sounds like. Weclome to the forum (I was a long time lurker, too, until a couple weeks ago).

[Ice Cream]

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

Sosha, that's a very interesting log. This sentence in particular caught my attention...

Baron and Taryn turned around and saw this ghostly dark figure standing a few yards behind the car, staring at them. It appeared to be holding a staff or a stick of some sort.

We know that sasquatch use woodknocking as... communication?... so we know that they will pick up sticks or small logs as tools for that purpose. But have there been any reports of them using or carrying sticks or logs as weapons?

First, we don't know if this Blob was actually a squatch, but for discussion let's say it was. The photo looked to some posters in this thread as the figure holding a stick, and now we have the testimony of a witness claiming the same. If this was a sasquatch, what would be the significance of it holding the stick towards the people as it was?

Hi there, I'm actually posting this under my brother's screen name, although I will probably register later. Until now I've just been a lurker here for a few days, but when I saw the "Sticksquatch" (thank you Ice Cream ) picture I thought I would try to "enhance" it a bit myself. To me the "stick" kind of looks like just a smear on the window, like when you role up your car window and discover the remains of a dead insect or bird "leavings". I could see some detail in the "body" of this thing, but very little of the "head" except for the eyes. That could be because the eyes are so bright that anything directly nearby would appear underexposed. Very interesting pictures and story regardless. Anyway, here's my attempt:

I did some enhancing of my own, especially of the "face" area. :willies:

Thanks, Dan's brother! You really brought out the body on that image well. I wish we had the full-resolution images; maybe we could get a better look at whatever that was.

Also, did anyone notice that thing has a perfect golf stance? It was just wanting to play!

In what I posted of what the one guy says he says this:

"Baron and Taryn turned around and saw this ghostly dark figure standing a few yards behind the car, staring at them. It appeared to be holding a staff or a stick of some sort. "

Whatever it was shoulda just said..."Mind if I play through"??lol

They want to hoax sighting's to spice up thier cache.

RingMonster, thank you for bringing that to the forum's attention.

The BFRO needs to be informed of this as the article specifically targets them for hoaxing. They should be extra suspicious of new reports.

I don't find it funny one bit.

Sorry but it looks like a hoax, I still think that there is no stick in the "closer up" picture, rather it seems that whatever or whomever was in that picture was "taking a leak"...

If that was true and that was not a hoax then talk about great evidence collection oportunity!! Sas urine!!

Man what a crock! You're right, it's not funny at all.

Thanks for bringing this to the attention of people here, RingMonster.
