I think both of these articles have been a psychological survey on you - the viewer - to determine how many people see “something” in a picture full of “nothing”. Both of these articles never mention where in the photo the “evidence” is. Can someone please circle it for me? If this is a secret survey, I’d love to see the results in a later posting.

Now I’m wondering exactly what Tatzelwurm was seeing in the first pic, since we all pretty unanimously see the same exact shape again in these that we all took for a sasquatl in the original photo…

Kudos to the photog doing the footwork to clear this all up.

Yes, good to see someone make an intelligent move these days. Intelligence sure seems to be in small supply when it comes to the “researchers” in the news these days. Kudos to Diana.

Agree with friends above, well done Dianna.

By doing this follow-up these researchers have shown the kind of integrity that should be expected of any self-respected cryptozoologist. Bravo!

I’m agreeing with Alton here. You verify these things before sending it off to the Mighty Interweb.

But yeah, kudos for checking eventually, I guess.

I can see what appears to be the same object in the first and third pictures, and that’s without enlarging them. Case closed I guess, unless sasquatch just like to hang out in that spot and watch passing traffic. Personally if I were the picture taker I would walk into the woods to see what I were really looking at.

The much praised followup should have been done BEFORE the original image was released, but at least it was done. I would have liked to have seen a photo with a person standing next to the stump/root/whatever to get an idea of its size. I saw several guesses on forums regarding the possible height of the object.

Well, that sure beats “no, there really is one, and to find it send us money for a t-shirt, DVD and privately guided expedition.”

Mistakes happen. Krantz made them, Chilcutt made them, Sanderson made them, everyone makes them. It’s understanding and correcting them that separates out the honest folks.

Although I’d rather we not spend too much time combing photos for possible sas.
