Initial data
A photo of a potential Snowman "smiling" into the camera lens led believers into a frenzy.
The chilling image, which Jay Wilson shared with the Facebook group Bigfoot Believers, seems to show someone's face peeking out from behind the foliage. Wilson said he took the picture seven weeks ago in Georgia, USA, when he was "just photographing tree structures that were everywhere."
Those who study bigfoot often say that strangely placed broken trees or branches broken in a way that is not found in nature are signs that bigfoot may be in the area.
Wilson also said that he had not seen the figure at the time and only noticed it after analyzing the picture more closely.
He added:
"I go back there every day. It's a big patch of forest, and I took 49 photos the day I came across it. Unfortunately, I honestly have no idea where exactly I was when I took this photo. To be honest, I don't care about skeptics. I didn't care."
Later he joked:
"Some people have told me that it looks like a smile. Let's say cheese..."
Reacting in the comments section to his post, several people thought that Wilson might have come close to one of the mythical two-legged beasts.
One of them said:
"It could very well be [Bigfoot]. It may also be that those two trees behind intersect at this point, causing something to happen there. Never a less magnificent photo [so in the original]."
The second said:
"THAT's really cool!!! It really looks like he's smiling at you!!! Lol!!"
However, not everyone was convinced.
One said:
"Once again, looking at this, I think: what are you hoping for? What do you want to see? ... there's nothing here!"
Another added:
"I think it's just how the tree grew... and it looks like a face."
While the third directly said:
"Are you all serious??? It's a damn tree."
Original news
A picture of a potential Bigfoot "smiling" down the lens of a camera has sent believers into a frenzy.
The chilling snap, shared to Facebook group Bigfoot Believers by Jay Willson, appears to show something's face peering through some foliage.
Willson revealed that he captured the image seven weeks ago in Georgia, US when he "was just photographing tree structures which were everywhere".
Bigfoot enthusiasts often say weirdly positioned broken trees, or branches broken in a way which wouldn't occur naturally, are signs that Sasquatches may be in an area.
Willson also said he didn't see the figure at the time, only after he analysed the snap more closely.
He added: "I go back there every day. This is a large area of woods and I took 49 photos the day that I stumbled into it.
"I honestly have no idea exactly where I was when I snapped this photo, unfortunately. I honestly don’t care about naysayers. Couldn’t care less."
He later joked: "Some people have told me it looks to be smiling. Say cheese…"
Reacting in the comments section of his post, several people thought Wilson may have had a close encounter with one of the mythical bipedal beasts.
One said: "Very well could be [Bigfoot]. Also it could be those two trees behind are crossing at that point making something happen there. Never the less great pic [sic]."
A second said: "Now THAT is really cool!!! It actually looks like it's smiling at you!!! Lol!!"
A third theorised that it could be "a young adult Squatch" with several others agreeing.
While a fourth wrote: "Looks like a Bigfoot peeking around the tree!"
However, not everyone was convinced.
One said: "Once again, seeing what you hope/want to see... nothing here!"
Another added: "I think it just how the tree grew... and it looks like a face."
While a third said bluntly: "Are yall serious??? Its a f**king tree."
A comment on the source site under the photo: "Wilson photographed such "tree-like structures" when he photographed the face."
(Is this his photo? Is this a photo taken on the same day? You can also see the silhouette of a Yeti on it)
Hypotheses
Pareidolic illusion
A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).
