Breaking: Romanian Bigfoot Photos

Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 12th, 2008

Fake? Photoshopped? Real man in a suit?

Pozele sunt facute in Romania, in Muntii Vrancei, acum 4 zile, pe 8 februarie, sau cel putin asa spune autorul.

Photos taken friday, February 8th 2008, in Romania, Vrancea Mountains. A tall strange humanoid crossing the road, that’s what I saw.vasiliumihnea

Oh boy I get to go first!
My vote is guy in a suit with therubber face,hands and my favorite rubber abs.
tomdee27 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 9:15 am
I totally agree with captiannemo. Man in a suit. The rubber abs are especially hysterical.

I agree. Looks totally like a fake. And not even like a good photoshop-fake but more like a cheap man-in-a-rubber-suit fake. Still good for a healthy laugh, though.

Dragonheart responds: February 12th, 2008 at 9:52 am
Yeah, that one looks like a fake. Man in a suit is my guess. Why all those guys think they could fool us?
eireman responds: February 12th, 2008 at 10:33 am
I’m looking at the depth of field in the last shot as compared to the others and I’m scratching my head, wondering exactly how tall this thing is… I’m not certain there is a suit involved but there might well be a figurine…

Romania? Obviously a werewolf gathering logs for Vlad the Impaler! I’ve heard the Romanian government has been breeding werewolves that can tolerate sunlight, to attract tourists.
mrbf2007 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 11:00 am
I personally cannot absolutely say those photos are hoaxed, but I lean in that direction because in my opinion, it does look like a guy in a costume. But again, I agree that further study does need to be done. The deal is, we weren’t there, so we cannot absolutely 100% say this is a hoax without doing a thorough examination of the photos to absolutely determine once and for all that they are a hoax. It seems that in this age of Photoshop and new technologies in photo and video enhancement, everything seems to come under scrutiny and immediately declared hoax, instead of sitting down and objectively examining the evidence (and I mean ACTUALLY examining the evidence, not just looking at a photo and immediately declaring, “HOAX!!!” ) And I want to make it clear-I am NOT saying the photos are of a genuine Sasquatch, because I do not know, I was not there, but then again, I am not going to immediately declare them a hoax just because it’s the fashionable thing to do. I say we should objectively examine all pieces of evidence and judge them on their own merits before declaring them fake OR genuine. If these photos are subjected to close scrutiny under analysis and found to be real, fine; if they are found to be hoaxed, that’s fine too. But one thing I will say is, that the mystery of ANY Cryptozoological animal is not going to be solved with a photo or a video or a film.

It is clearly a mangy bear.
idle jack responds: February 12th, 2008 at 11:20 am
Just another man in a suit. But like all the others, it helps us see clearly that Patti is the real thing. Look for example at the obviously human head and face contours on this fake. Compare it to Patti’s wounderful, different, non human head and face. Not fakeable.
Scarfe responds: February 12th, 2008 at 11:31 am
The perfectly sculpted abs with a perfect dividing line between the hair and the abs screams fakery. No known ape or hominid looks like that. It is generally a convention of fake ape suits.
steele79 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 11:34 am
it def looks fake but hey ya never know
shumway10973 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Ummmm…people, the last 2 photos look like some sort of toy to me. Look at the size of head versus roots. That hillside I could get up in a couple steps. They should have never focused in the last photo. The first one they are probably laying down on the ground so he looks bigger. I will admit, I’m not sure how they got the “log” to look so big. One thing for sure…This one is sooooooo bad!!
Ceroill responds: February 12th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
What I notice about the last two photos are the change in the focal plane. In the first of those two the focus is on the far trees, and the near log and the figure are out of focus. In the last pic the focus is on the near log (or stump or tree), and the figure is also in focus. This leads me in the direction that it is closer to the near object than the far objects, and therefore the scale of the figure becomes likely quite small.
fallofrain responds: February 12th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
I agree with Eireman…it looks more like a small figurine. The depth of focus in the last two shots is very strange. And in all shots it looks too stiff. Seems like a posable action figure.
slappy responds: February 12th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Cha-Ka!! are you sure this wasn’t taken in the land of the lost???
dharkheart responds: February 12th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Hmmm…a european offshoot of bigfoot or cousin of the yeti? Rubberus Abdomenus. It’s rubberized feet and hands allow it better insulation against rain and snow. The lusg bearskin fur gives it added warmth. And those abs? Well, I bet the Pattys over in Romania just go wild over them thereby increasing that males chances of passing on his rubber genes.
on the track responds: February 12th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
it looks fake to me, and i was definitely leaning more towards a toy rather than a guy in a suit.
oregonbigfoot responds: February 12th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
No matter how compelling the late-night infomercial might be, DON’T BUY Chuck Norris’ Total Gym. Profuse hair growth is an underreported, though obvious, side effect. Hee!

In photos 1 & 3, the face appears to have been pixelated with Photoshop.

Looks like a Harryhausen stop motion animation critter to me.
planettom responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I too thought man in a suit at first. It even looked to me upon first glance that he was wearing glasses! LOL I do agree with the others that this might be some sort of figurine.

Next.
CamperGuy responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Hmmmm….maybe its a bigfoot in a monkey suit?
planettom responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Definitely rubber abs.
Richard888 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:15 pm
If the chest didn’t look rubbery I would have given the creature not the identity of a primate hominid, but that of a human who suffers from a hair disease and has decided to live as a recluse out in the woods to avoid abuse. The face looks very human like but unfortunately the rest of the body looks like a monkey suit.
Guerrierinconnu responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Toy!
red_pill_junkie responds: February 12th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Bigfoot is buffed!!

“I am here to PUMP. YOU. OUT”

Small figurine really. That’s why he cleverly concealed the legs and lower torso with the tree.
stormwalkernz1 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
In my opinion all three photographs are of a figurine, if you look at the first photograph you will notice the tree trunks seem to be implanted directly into the ground. I believe the figurine has been placed on a low wall to provide a foreground with the trees in the background, a common practice among model photographers.

The other two pictures showed no definition in the face, such as the eyes etc, and once again the foreground does not seem to fit the picture as a whole.

Someone is definitely a good model maker but this is definitely not what we’re looking for.

Is he/it gonna go pole-vaulting with that fallen log in the first picture?
cryptidsrus responds: February 12th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
The face is weird. Looks like a troll’s face right out of Germanic legend.

Action figure?
cryptidsrus responds: February 12th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I DO agree with MRBF2007. Highly unlikely they are of a real Sasquatch, but they DO merit investigation.
cmgrace responds: February 12th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Seriously?! That is just a toy. The third pic definitely shows the bottom of a tree trunk (part closest to the ground), not to mention the hair on that thing is way too groomed and trimmed.
kittenz responds: February 12th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
It’s an otter
Dragonheart responds: February 12th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
@kittenz:
No, it’s a bunch of otters… That’s the normal way to go: If you want a photograph of bigfoot, you have to photograph a bunch of otters. If you want to photograph an otter, you need to photograph a bunch of bigfoots.
But I’m not quite sure… I need a drawing of it’s eyes first (I don’t know who remembers that one).

I have two cousins in Romania and they actually went to Lepsa… long story short, they got stuck, had to walk on foot and guess what? They actually saw something and have it on a camera. I told them to put the movie on a website. It’s pretty good. You need to check it out for yourselves and decide. I’m sceptic myself, but really, I don’t know what to believe about the footage… Still thinking…
Harlequin responds: February 12th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
As for the pictures I think we can all agree that this is definitely, unequivocally, and beyond all doubt a mangy otter RIDING a bear.

noobfun responds: February 12th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
i like the way he paused so after the blury close shot he got to take another in focus

see bigfoot is nothing if not a giver

is it my imagination or do the toes on that first shot curve up and around in a arc, kinda like its molded to a boot shape

the nice big dirt bank with the roots poking through it makes me think monkey suit man rather then a model
Melmoth responds: February 12th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
That’s not a bigfoot. It’s a character from the 70’s movie “Pinchcliffe Grand Prix,” in a furry suit! I recognized the face!

fmurphy1970 responds: February 12th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Top picture looks like this bigfoot is wearing glasses. Maybe it’s Ned Flanders in a monkey suit. See for comparison:-

Bigfoot sure is a lot buffer in Europe than he is in American or Canada. Is it because the women there are more attractive or maybe just harder to impress?

All I know is that I need abs and a chest like that. He should release a work out video. It would be huge and make him some serious money!
brainracker responds: February 13th, 2008 at 10:57 am
it’s boratfoot! high five!
DWA responds: February 13th, 2008 at 11:40 am
OK. Since everybody else is having fun with this. I tried to refrain, but.

I do think a compelling video - even a photo - is possible. But it sure ain’t this one.

And a serious note: correct as some of the ape-suit (or fake-whatever) assessments may be for this one case, beware the pitfall of saying “no known animal” has this or that appearing in the figure in question, so It Must Be A Fake. The figure in question, if it’s not human or a human construct, is obviously UNknown. EVERY known animal has features that make it unique. “No known ape” is bipedal. Well, actually, we are, and the sas is. “No known ape” lives in the temperate zone. Well, actually, we live all over the planet, and a cold-adapted great ape is really no more unlikely than a cold-adapted (snow, golden) monkey.

We could go on with this. But you get my point.

It’s a person wearing a suit. Isn’t it obvious?
ScoobyLovesJazz responds: February 14th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I am going to have to go along with the other commenters and say that this is a shot of a model or action figure. The photos just look “wrong” if viewed as photos of a full size creature, but if you look at them thinking model, everything seems right. (Plus doesn’t the break on the “tree” in the first shot seem more like a break you would see if you snapped a twig off a larger plant?)
kittycatbandit responds: February 14th, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Since when do Bigfoots have a mustache and receeding hair line?? FAKEY!

Whatever it is, it’s rubbish.
Dr. Strings responds: February 14th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
It looks like a doll to me, especially in the second and third “photos”. No question it’s hoaxed, just a matter of how it was done. The background looks like a poster or some sort of matte painting (vinyl, canvas, toy diorama backdrop, etc.). It almost looks like a diorama with some photoshop work. Oh boy!
mystery_man responds: February 15th, 2008 at 9:17 am
I agree with DWA completely that we should not say what the creature should or shouldn’t look like based on what we THINK it should look like. After all we are talking about an unknown animal here. For all we know, this is quite a typical specimen.

That being said, it is hard not to chuckle when seeing these photos. To me, it doesn’t look real at all and I am of the opinion of some of the other posters here that these could possibly be pictures of a figurine. I’m no photo expert, but that is what these suggest to me.
springheeledjack responds: February 15th, 2008 at 10:05 pm
I’m with Shumway…the last two look like a toy and the first looks like it was photoshopped in…nice Groucho nose and glasses…
Point Radix responds: February 17th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Why would anybody fake something that so obviously looks like a hoax? The fact remains that if this was a definite hoax, they would have at least made some effort to do a better job.

Fake or not, its a picture of something really there, look at the 2nd and 3rd images, first the images are almost the same, but in one of them the background trees are in focus (with the humanoid and earth bank out of focus) and in the next one, its the other way around (the trees out of focus, with the humanoid / earth bank in focus). That type of thing really happens with digital photography, especially when you are trying to get a shot of a moving object. That would be difficult to fake, and once again, anyone who has the time to invest in such a hoax would probably have a more ’standard’ or believable bigfoot.

The apparent ‘glasses’ are actually evidence of a prominent brow ridge combined with sunken eyes.

Overall, the implausibility of the humanoid in the image, is what makes this seemingly more authentic. Who would go out of their way to produce a hoax that looks like this?
Maer responds: February 19th, 2008 at 3:22 am
His toes look very clean. Clean abs, clean toes. This guy works out and showers afterward.
i am sasquatch responds: February 19th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
O thats good… was this photo taken in Romania or on the set of “Strange Wilderness”?
Cryptonut responds: February 25th, 2008 at 12:52 am
Six Million Dollar Man action figure, followed by otters. Seriously, no one thinks this is real, right?
