I was out hiking with family in a park in Northern Manitoba, taking this photo of a spring stream that comes out of a hill and runs into the Grass River, when i downloaded the photo and put it on my screen saver i seen this dark image, when i zoom in it looks very interesting, beautiful place to hike with a decent hiking trail.

Intersting photo, did you notice anything while you were there? Sounds, odors, etc?

I'd prefer to look at the original picture file - could you post that please? If you prefer, you can email it to me.

Unless the top of its head is shaped like a coffee table I'm pretty confident that's not a sasquatch.

It does stink in there its in a valley and very marshy and wet as you can tell with the rocks all green, lots of rotting trees that have fallen over so that is why it smells here, the roof canopy from the trees can make it very dark down there, there are many Bears in here which I was on the look out for. where i took this photo is on a small bridge that was made on the trail the river would be right behind me about 50 yards away. I don't think its really anything but probably a stump

Nice shot but comparing the figure to the size of the leaves, it looks small. It's way too hard to tell.

here's the oringinal if it fits being such a large file

Dude that's a stump. You can even see the green moss growing on it.




















































Unless it's Swamp Thing!

Okay so we are in agreement, just thought it looked interesting, glad we have such good trained eyes in here lol

Definitely a chupacabra...but I see chupacabras everywhere.

Interesting picture. No other stumps or tree trunks are as dark ass the object in question and the green stuff on top maybe be a depth perception error. The picture is sharp and relatively well composed so I take it you actually saw this object and took its picture but did not investigate to see what it was? Stump or animal?

I can certainly see why you'd wonder what it is because it sure looks bigfooty to me.

Is there any way you can go back there or have someone go there and check it out.

I did not see the object when I took the photo, I do lots of photography as I run my own website and do submitt allot of my photos to my local paper, when I took this photo I was only looking at the stream and trying to get a good focused shot, I took this photo 2 weeks ago and today was the first time I actually looked at it and like I said when I put it on my screen saver i seen that blob, I will be going back to this area in a weeks time as I camp out that way, good idea I should go back and see if this is still there, would be awesome if i go back and that image is gone i think it is a stump though

very interesting possible new photo but more enhandsments need to be done to this photo are sightings & footprints of sasquatches common in this forests area. keep me updated ok. good evening bill g hey n. manitoban welcome to bigfoot forums

I like your attitude, NM. It's always better to take the objective approach and rule out the most logical things first, before jumping to conclusions, which you haven't done. Going back to the spot and checking to see if the object is still there is the best way to separate fact from fiction. It has the look of a very dark stump to me, but I'd like to hear your follow-up post after you've been there again.

Is it possible for you to post a map link to the location? I'd be interested to see where this is. Thanks.

I agree with Rick. I took the pixels up to 300 ppi. , and put it through a battery of mapping and enhancement. Can't get anything out of it, but a couple of dots, where "eyes" might be. It's totally black, which is not a likely situation for the few feet of surrounding greenery. There's a fern in front of it's "face", but the edges of a "head" are fuzzy, where the surrounding area is relatively sharp. Damned good camera you got there.

Thanks guys, yes I love this camera its a Sony H50 digital takes great photos, here is a map on where I was the closest communities are about 40 minutes away and are small populations, this is in Northern Manitoba lots of lakes marsh rolling hills. another photo that just shows what we see down into this valley of marsh and heavey tree cover and streams, it is a very cool place to go. some kind of fungus growing on a fallen tree

Northern Manitoban,

I don't see a mossy stump. I see an object partially covered by leaves from a tree in front of it.

Nice aquatic insect colony on the boulders sticking out of the water. Simuliids or hyodroptilids?

G. canadensis

No way it's swamp thing, Adrienne Barbeau would be all over him

Thanks, are you refering to the white specks on the rocks? well I hope when I go back there that its gone, the only problem if it is gone, i''ll be scared as hell to have to walk out of there

That ain't no monkey.

Turned up the brightness and contrast. Still no monkey.

Northern Manitoban,

are you refering to the white specks on the rocks?

Yes, but they look a bit greenish to me. Simuliids are blackflies -- I assume you have one or two up there. The larvae anchor themselves onto a rock in a stream and filter feed as the current bring them food. Hydroptilids (I misspelled their family name above) are small caddisflies, microcaddises, that graze on the epilithic algae and associated bacteria.

well I hope when I go back there that its gone, the only problem if it is gone, i''ll be scared as hell to have to walk out of there

Going back should be a good test -- if it's still there, it's not likely a bigfoot; if it is, you can walk up to it and see what it is. I'm sure you'll be hoping it's there.

G. canadensis

if that is a sasquatch in that photo maybe its a young one but anything possible. it looks like its scared or trying to stay still maybe it saw the eyewittness got nervous just opinion updates as this continues

It's a stump... but nice mushrooms you got there!

Thanks for the great info very interesting, yes we have blackflies if you only knew lol, can get crazy here, well if its still there and is a bigfoot i hope its freindly and has a case of Kokanee for me will be kind of nervous going back now

At least you're willing to go back and look. I can respect that. Good luck.

Indeed. If only other people would do the same there would be a lot less blobsquatches floating around the internet.

LOL yeah but what happens if I don't return

I think you'll be OK. In the history of Bigfoot, there's never been any substantiated claim of them ever harming someone.

What about Scout?

Thats just a rumor. No one ever knew where he went , so no one could say for certain. He may have been abducted by the aliens, or maybe the CIA trying to silence him for looking for the Bigfoot or Aliens or Alien Bigfoot. So many conspiracy theories, so little time.

yeah I know but there could always be a first I'll have my camera ready and good pair of running shoes

If you go back and it isn't there, I'll bet someone used it for firewood....

Northern Manitoban,

If those are all blackflies and if they've hatched by the time you return, you may wish you could have a bigfoot encounter instead.

Take a couple of chilled Kokanees for a peace offering. If there's no bigfoot, you can have both. A win-win plan.

G. canadensis

One of the cooler blobsquatches I've seen in awhile though.

I have been looking at this photo all afternoon and have tried to clear up the zoomed image and make something out of it, and your mind can sure start to wonder and see things that i really think are not there, as much as i hate to say it as I wish it was something but after really looking at the photo i do believe its a dead tree stump and definetly looks like i can see grass or maybe moss as i do see some kind of green color, but you can't say for sure, but thats what I think it is. I will be going to this location next weekend take more photos from the trail and the image is big enough I should have no problem finding it from the first location, i will then walk to it and take a close up of the blob funny how images in the forest under different lighting can sure make you see all different shapes and sizes.

Thanks, Northern Manitoban, for a lovely photo.

Has anyone in the history of photography ever taken a picture, spotted an anomalous object in it afterwards and subsequently had that object proved to be something astounding?

I vote for a stump...that or the Grim Reaper...

rather then trying to guese what is in the picture have you gone back to the spot to see if it is still there? Also when you took this picture did you ever think about going towards this thing to see if it would move.I mean that is one way to prove it was a creature or a bear. How else are we ever going to know when we take a picture of something that we believe could be a bigfoot is real if we do not move towards the object. Heck it would beat the crap out of guesing what we are taking a picture of. Put the fear aside move towards the object and if it moves on two feet well then you have your answer. You then start to track it down if it lets you and you get to take more pictures then ,that if you do not get hit by the creature by what ever it does it does. And if you do get hit and feel sick well then start eating raw potatos whick works.Hint hint

Julio, if you read through the thread, you'll see that he is planning on returning to the spot to see if it's a stump or if nothing is there.

Hi



Peace
Tim

And, Julio, if you read the thread, you'd know that he wasn't taking a picture of a BF in the first place. Just the lovely stream. Great picture that, even without the blobthingy.

My bad,I have taken pictures ,video of things that did not think there was nothing in them and just then when you think there is nothing in them you see something thats not suppose to be there. Weird too because you go back to the spot and cannot explain what you are seeing in the photo or the video. Explanations well you are left with none and there is nothing that supports what you had seen in your video or photograph. So you are left with a picture or video of something that has no explanation for which put you in the twilight zone.I just thought that he did saw this when he was taking the photo of the creek ,But i did not read the whole thing there fore my bad.Sorry But nice picture of that creek and surounding.

Beautiful area and great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Okay Julio, you definitely have to explain this one to me, just the bolded part.

yeah me 2 none of what you said makes any sense to me lol

Ok, here is what i mean by this and yes it might not make sense to some who do not have an understanding of these creatures abilities.I was once told that raw potatoes seem to help with the sickness of being hit by the ultra sound from these creatures.Now I have been hit once by them with a low frequency and it made me sick for about a week to the point I could not get out of bed. When i was hit I was disorientatated and feeling sick to the stomach well they say that the raw potatoes is suppose to help when you get hiet het by them. That is why i threw that out ther.No big deal but if it does happen at least you know now what helps. You really do not have to believe me if you do not want too but at least it is there for the wise.

As I have learned there is never a normal expierance with these creatures and when you think you know them they pull something that just blows your mind.

Low frequency? do they have lazer eyes? your not serious are you thats to funny, I'll take my chances I'm not into all the theories of them being invisible and coming from UFO's and all that other weird stuff, first time I have heard this one

I knew it!!!. Bigfoot is all a government cover up. They're using the big guy as a secret weapon. Shoot we're all doomed now.
A patater anyone.
