I always feel mildly embarrassed that I spend more time being sceptical about supposed evidence for the existence of cryptids than I do being positive. This is basically why, when Lindsay commented on what I thought was a spectacularly dubious photograph purporting to be of bigfoot, I kept schtum.
However, now, no less than the Oregon Bigfoot society have entered the debate. Autumn Williams writes:
Prior to this article being published on the Examiner website, I received a mass email from a mufonjeff (Jeffrey Gonzalez?) regarding this photograph. The subject line was “BIGFOOT CONFIRMED REAL!!!!”
I wasn’t immediately impressed with the photograph, nor with the sensationalism of the subject line. I mean, I can understand being excited about possibly capturing an image of Sasquatch on your game cam, but to publicise it as “confirmed!!!!” before the photograph has been independently analysed by those proficient in photographic analysis (or even your peers, for that matter) is a bit irresponsible and doesn’t do a whole lot for the credibility of our field of research… which many feel has little inherent credibility to begin with. *grin*...

I agree, the photo is pretty dubious.
I'd sure like to see some comments from readers here on the animal in the "Gable Attack" film, though. (Much of the related footage seems suspicious, but even if the whole thing is a progressing fake, the animal is curious. Arguably the clearest enhancement so far, and various comments and thoughts on it from Autumn and her crew, can be found on her site here.)
Or has the Gable film been discussed at CPZ for a while already? (It's been online for a couple of years.)
