A group of hikers out for a stroll in the Maine woods found a rather strange and large creature perched ridiculously high in a tree. Fortunately, these guys weren't exactly roughing it, so they had a video camera on hand to record the creepy looking animal, which reasonable minds are guessing might just be a super-ginormous North American porcupine. But it would have to be seriously huge. And also a little bit monkey-faced.
While we'll admit this fella is a far cry from the thing in "Harry and the Hendersons," we're also not ashamed to admit we have no idea what it is. Check out the video below and let us hear your best guess, because we're totally stumped.
Hard to understand why the camera is moving back and forth while the creature is perfectly still. The creature never moves as it's facing the camera - the camera moves, but the creature does not. In fact, it seems the camera is moving to make it less obvious that the creature is not moving - at all.
Looks like a stuffed animal stuck in a tree - first in one position, then in another. I could be wrong and it's just a VERY still creature, but...
I'm finding it creepy that the creature doesn't move. I can see nothing suspicious in the moving of the camera. It is high zoom level and due to the steadyshot function the movement is quite smooth.
I will tell you what this is.
It's a high resolution image of a forest. I don't know if the 'creature' was placed in real life or painted in afterwards. But I can tell you for sure that that is no video.
It's impossible to use that kind of zoom without ANY change of perspective. The motion of the camera is very 'post production' like. In other words added afterwards to a still shot. In real life the background would change. Especially with so many trees and branches in the shot you would see definite changes. But in this 'video' the center of the camera never moves even an inch. The camera only pans and tilts.
It is a complete and utter fake and not even a good one. Also the sound track is very 'constructed'.
Why on EARTH does the video stop?
If you are in that kind of situation you would walk up to the tree and / or try to approach the 'creature'.
Two things could happen: either the creature gets scared and flees. And then that's the end of your video. The way in which it flees might give you an idea as to what it is.
Or you succeed in approaching the 'creature' and you stick your camera in it's face.
Neither happened so we are supposed to believe that some people walking trough a forest see some sort of mysterious creature that they can't name. They film a shot of it and they go away?
