- A Morehouse Parish woman claims to have had a chance
encounter with the elusive creature known as Bigfoot -- and she has the
photo to prove it.
-
- The witness, who asked that her name be withheld to avoid
public ridicule, said she was going to see her husband, working in a field
off Merton Bowe Road east of Mer Rouge when something moving along the
banks of Bayou Bonne Idee caught her eye.
-
- "I noticed this figure splashing around on the banks
of the Bonne Idee. I couldn't tell what it was, but what struck me as odd
was it seemed to be bathing."
-
- She said the animal was somewhat bigger than a man and
seemed to be standing upright in the water. This description matches other
sightings of the legendary Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, that is said
to roam the North American wilderness.
-
- "Luckily, I had my disposable camera with me from
when my husband and I took the kids to Poverty Point, so I pulled over
and got out of my car."
-
- The Bigfoot was just starting to get out of the water
as she approached the bank. Although frightened, the witness says she snapped
the accompanying photo. The creature turned around as though startled,
then ran along the bank of the bayou.
-
- The witness's husband, an avid hunter, said he has never
seen Bigfoot but believes his wife's story.
-
-
-
-
-
- "I've been seeing footprints that were 12- and 14-inches
from heel to toe around Bonne Idee for years," he said. "I showed
them to some of my buddies, but they were just as clueless as I was."
-
- Bigfoot sightings in this part of Louisiana are nothing
new, according to Cpt. Alan Bankston with the state Department of Wildlife
and Fisheries.
-
- "We hear stories like this from time to time,"
said Bankston. "We have bear move through here some time, and people
tell us they've seen monkeys up off Vaughn Road and leopards all through
the woods," Bankston said. "We had one fella tell us he thought
it was a really big deer that learned to walk on its hind legs."
-
- Asked why deer might be walking around upright, Bankston
said he had no comment.
-
- The earliest Bigfoot sightings in Morehouse Parish can
be traced to the journal entries of Mer Rouge hunter Ben Lilly, who writes
in April 1901 that while everyone thinks he is out stalking bears and panthers,
he is actually hunting for Bigfoot.
-
- "Anybody can kill a deer. It takes a man to kill
a varmint," Lilly writes. "And it takes an even bigger man to
bag a Sasquatch."
-
- Morehouse Sheriff-elect Mike Tubbs confirmed his office
receives calls about Bigfoot eating out of garbage cans and peering through
the windows of homes in the Bonne Idee area. Curiously, the reports always
seem to come in at the same time each year.
-
- "We tell people not to worry, that Bigfoot is just
as scared of you as you are of him," said Tubbs. "We don't really
follow up on those calls because you can't always believe what people tell
you when April Fool's Day rolls around."

- Louisiana 'Bigfoot' Photo Analysis Update
- By Ted Twietmeyer
- 4-4-8
-
- A new fascinating article about a daytime photo of Bigfoot
[1] caught my eye, and here at data4science.net decided it was time to
put it to the test.
-
- It is important to keep in mind that the exact nature
of Bigfoot is still largely unknown. I do not doubt that there is enough
evidence to show the creature exists, including hair samples and sightings
by countless eye witnesses. However, photos of the creature are both few
and far apart. Perhaps a creature like Bigfoot is an inter- dimensional
walker. This could explain why historically it has always been so elusive,
and why no real dead bodies of the creature have been found to conclusively
prove it is indeed real.
-
- In the following photo analysis, please keep in mind
that I am not conclusively stating that the photo was faked. What I am
saying is that there is something very strange in this photo that is not
easily explained.

- Original Bigfoot photo taken by Morehouse Parish
woman, slightly enlarged.

- One-step photo fix to improve brightness and
contrast. No sharpening was applied.
-
-
- 1. In the above notated photo, let's first examine the
tree (white lines.) Note the reflection in the water of the two vertical
tree trunks and the smaller angled tree trunk. This is important, because
both the tree and the creature are on the water's edge.
-
- 2. The creature appears to have a darker complexion than
the tree, and should easily appear with a correspondingly dark reflection
in the water.
-
- 3. Blue dashed lines show the location of where a reflection
of the creature's legs should appear on the water. The thin, green-leafed
branch in the foreground can block the view of some of the reflection,
but not all of the reflection. Note the creature is bigger and broader
than the tree trunks. Therefore, the reflection from the creature should
easily make it out to the middle of the water. There appears to be a reflection
of something on the water, but it does not resemble the creature's body.
-
- 4. Yellow dashed line indicates the location of where
a reflection of the creature's posterior should appear on the water but
does not. This item alone may be the most conclusive piece of evidence
in this entire analysis.
-
- 5. Light blue arrows indicate slightly different pixel
blending as compared to the branches of the tree. This may or may not be
a JPEG artifact - or perhaps the result of a pasting a copy of the creature
into another photo.
-
- 6. Yellow box indicates a large rectangular area of the
photo where the pixels appear blurred. Oddly, this blurred pixel area seems
to also include a part of the creature's backside
-
- 7. Red arrow points to a strange pointed shape of the
posterior of the creature that appears as though it was cropped. Creature's
posterior rises unnaturally straight up above the tip of the red arrow.
-
-
- Am I saying the photo is a fake? Not necessarily. What
I AM saying is that there are a number of strange things appearing here.
-
- Could a creature that walks between dimensions also create
no reflection on the water?
-
- Is it also possible that a real Bigfoot can create these
photographic anomalies?
