The mother-in-law of the bigfoot skeptic insists that she accidentally photographed the mysterious beast.

Reddit user u/deathofcake shared the image on the Reddit page r/bigfoot, as well as some details related to this picture.

They wrote:

"I was talking to my mother-in-law about bigfoot, and she told me that she had a photo of one of them, this photo.

It was taken about a mile from their forest when she was photographing trees that could potentially be cut down for lumber. What do you think about it?"

Although at first it is difficult to see the supposed Bigfoot among the trees, in the center of the image, deep in the forest, you can definitely notice something different from the surrounding environment.

If you look closely, you can see a gap at the bottom of the dark figure, perhaps the space between her legs.

He further explained in the comments that, although they are "not so sure," the mother-in-law "swears that this is a snowman."

They also explained that the picture was taken about 10 years ago in Alabama, USA.

"She says she took a lot of pictures of different areas to show the loggers what trees grow on this land," he said. "She didn't notice anything until she looked at the photos later. She asked me to post it here to find out what you all think."

Reacting to the picture, several believers in bigfoot thought that the mother-in-law had stumbled upon something incredible.

One of them wrote:

"You can definitely see the left shoulder, the arm and the back of the head."

Another said:

"You can see a teenager holding an adult and also looking directly into the camera. That's why the hand and the hand are lowered like that."

However, not everyone was convinced.

One of them said:

"At first I thought it might be a bear or something furry, but if it was just photos she was snapping and didn't see anything moving, then now I think it's a tree trunk."

"Probably a wider tree trunk with a shadow cast on it," suggested another.

The third said:

"It definitely looks like something big and fluffy/hairy, but other than that I can't say much."

Original news

A Bigfoot sceptic's mother-in-law insists that she has accidentally captured a picture of the mysterious beast.

Reddit user u/deathofcake shared the image to Reddit page r/bigfoot, along with some details surrounding the snap.

They wrote: "I was talking to my mother-in-law about Bigfoot because I have been on this sub a lot lately, and she told me she had a picture of one, this is the picture.

"This was taken about a mile into their woods while she was taking pictures of trees to potentially be cut down for lumber. What do you think?"

Although the supposed Sasquatch is tricky to discern amongst the trees at first, something that appears different to the surroundings can definitely be spied in the centre of the image, deep in the woods.

If you look closely, there appears to be a gap at the bottom of the shadowy figure, perhaps a space between its legs.

The original poster explained further in the comments that, although they are "not so sure", their mother-in-law "swears it's a Bigfoot".

They also explained that the snap was taken roughly 10 years ago in Alabama, US.

"She says she was taking a lot of pictures of different areas to show the lumber people what sort of trees were on the land," they said.

"She didn't notice anything until she looked at the pictures later.

"She asked me to post it here to see what you all thought."

Responding to the snap, several Bigfoot believers reckoned the mother-in-law had stumbled upon something incredible.

One wrote: "You can definitely see the left shoulder and arm and back of the head."

Another said: "You can see a juvenile holding the adult and looking straight at the camera too. That is why the arm and hand is down like that."

However, not everyone was convinced.

One said: "At first I thought it could be a bear or something furry, but if it was just photos she was snapping and didn’t see something move, now I think it’s a tree trunk."

"Probably a wider tree trunk with a shadow casted on it," guessed another.

A third said: "It definitely looks like something big and furry/hairy but beyond that I can’t tell much."

Famous creatures

There are a huge number of different living organisms on our planet. According to recent estimates, the number of species of organisms on our planet is approximately 7-10 million. However, only 15% of the data are described today.

According to the calculations of Canadians, 2.2 million species live in the world's oceans, 6.5 million on land. There are only about 7.8 million species of animals on the planet, 611 thousand fungi, and 300 thousand plants.

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).
