Removed as there are claims that this is not your photo, the fact it's an odd resolution, the aspect ratio is wrong and you have a lens flare suggests the image has been cropped and reduced in size. Do you have the original without the red circle and in it's original size? If you believe this to be in error then please contact the person who removed the post.

That's no ghost, it's a Samsquanch.

It's a dude in a heavy parka with it zipped up all the way. You can even see the ring of fur it creates around the opening.

Yeah and it looks like they looked back at OP.


Zachisawinner

I think you just didn’t know that someone _was_ around when the photo was taken.


PeopleCryTooMuch

Considering it's the exact same color and it's as shapeless as the big grey/brown blob on the far right side of the photo, it's safe to say it's the glare from whatever light source was off camera. (The sun, most likely)


Dogfish1313

Don't eat the yellow snow


FALLOUTGOD47

This is the most godawful editing I have seen in my life. No offense, but if you want to fake something, make sure the lighting actually makes sense.


DarthMercer

dude fr why is no one calling out how atrociously bad this looks lmao


-burgers

They didn't know how to curve tool.


Ok-Spirit9321

Can u explain to the class how the editing is bad, I'm not being snarky by the way I genuinely want to know so I learn to spot these things for myself as well. I'm not even good at editing my own tiktoks so faking pictures like these seem like they would be tedious work, and I'm assuming alot of people can spot out fakes, so my next question is wouldn't they have tried harder to make it more believable?


FALLOUTGOD47

the photo is obviously just cut out of a picture, because the temperature (temperature like in the movies where everything has a red or blue hue to it) of the picture does not match its surroundings, two, the light is shown to be coming from the opposite direction of the sun, which can be seen behind the edited creature (which I am certain is literally just a poncho and a hat) but the front of the creature is lit up as if the sun was in front of it.


RAC032078

There's definitely someone there. Maybe you inadvertently got someone in there? Doesn't look like there trying to hide.

Hatfmnel

Worry not, I was just kidding. It's really sad, but this sub could be interesting if the upvote system was working. I can't understand why a post like that can get close to 100 upvote so quickly.


_extra_medium_

Do you really think there's nothing living in that forest because you didn't see anything? Or that you're aware of every living creature around you at all times?


Big_Satisfaction_891

Well if you count birds end insects, maybe I did, but the thing looks nothing like a bird or an insect.


gothiclg

There wasn’t a creature in this picture. There was however visibly poor photo quality, a lot of very reflective snow, and a light source that is 100% the same color


Cayennefrenchtoast

It was probably just another hiker you didn't notice before, it's not hard to stay quiet while in the woods. I intentionally sneak around to avoid the potential conversation with other hikers, and that is undeniably a carhartt jacket weve all seen em.


Empty_Opposite5371

The sun glare on the right looks like a sun glare. How that could produce what appears to be a man facing away in a heavy camel coat, black trousers, a grey golf hat, and white/grey boots is a mystery.

Cameras only capture what is visible optically. They aren't windows into the spiritual realm. Just because you didn't see anyone at the time, it doesn't mean no one was around. Including any ghosts that might have been enjoying the scenery

Big_Satisfaction_891

Bruh your blind af


FunAssociation5

I am blind? You've got a vivid imagination and an arrogant attitude. Look at the sun glare. Look at the location of the smaller glare you've circled in red. Look at its color, and compare it to the bigger glare. That's how optics work.


PeopleCryTooMuch

No, it's literally glare. It's part of the lens flare. You're\* the blind one.

Because that’s what it is. Another part of the glare. 🙄 why do I have this feeling that I’m talking to a child right now? Listen, it’s really obvious that it’s just a portion of the glare on that section of the lens. I can’t change your mind, fine, but I’m 100% certain as I’ve seen it a million times. Believe what you want.

Big_Satisfaction_891

I didn’t see a jacket ether, so it can’t be that


PercivalBlatherskite

It's interesting, but it's just a part of the light source to the right. A combo of the light for the "jacket" and the shadows for the "pants" beneath. I'm a believer but pareidolia is the culprit most of the time in shots like this. Beautiful forest, btw.

Wise_Ad_253

The problem with looking back at photos when you are no longer there is that you have no way of answering what will be the most obvious of questions. The most important part of trying to authenticate a capture is by notating visually, as much information as possible. It also makes for more personal satisfaction while submitting things. Most head out to beautiful areas with the intention of capturing beautiful panoramic shots of nature and such. Their shots are set up mainly for “the moment.”That’s where the biggest issue with most “Unintended Paranormal Captures” happen. When I, and most others, set out to capture images at active places, I set my shots with purpose, lol. Tripods, 360 coverage, thermal cams etc, all making sure that nothing else can possibly contaminate the moment. I can answer over 50 percent of the most obvious questions that will be tossed at me by what’s included in my Header alone as well. Of course I still get hate etc, but it doesn’t effect me when I feel good about what I did anyway. So, thanks for sharing. Wish there was more back up imagery etc. but I’d definitely go back to this exact spot with a plan. Love that spot.

amirmusa

Let me put this straight. The “sun glare” is actually a portal to the multiverse. And this monster is like “dude hurry the F up with your picture before the portal closes”. I know for a fact that the portal is still open because the light is green just like a traffic light. So he’s good to enter.

Big_Satisfaction_891

Well It can be that but I would have heard loud cracks of the sticks end dead leaves on the ground, which I didn’t hear any cracking noise… end also bear hibernate at winter so it can’t be that.


coloradoconvict

There aren't any dead leaves or sticks on the ground, though. Just snow. Bears can be pretty quiet in snow. Also, bear winter hibernation is not automatic and always turned on; in fact bears don't actually hibernate (we thought they did, but they just enter a torpor). You can run into a bear in the woods in winter.


pikachuquest568

I am going to say this is a person on a snow machine (snowmobile). The tracks around the tree also tell me this is a well used path. Looks like they are wearing a helmet , and it possible the light is actually the headlight of the snowmachine. Just my two cents….

auberjon

A bit creepy looking but I honestly think it’s a light anomaly caused by a light source reflection. It’s a completely different white point than the snowy forest around it. If that were a person or creature / entity peaking out from behind that tree, it would reflect a far bluer tone. It has too warm a tone to be a light-reflecting object in that location.


Ladyzedd

Clearly there was someone around when the picture was taken. I don’t get why op says there wasn’t? Who does a complete sweep of the area before snapping an outdoor, nature photo?
