Why are cameras always blurry when taking picture of these things?
If that’s not an elf, then I don’t know what an elf is ...
because the cryptids have special powers that blur the photos-
but seriously- they are usually taken with cameras with very small sensors, and or no stabilization in some cases which blurs the photos- not many folks carry around high end cameras but many do carry small sensor phone cameras- the person is usually excited and afraid they wont get a good shot of something spectacular or weird so they rush hte shots many times-
They are mostly stills from video.
Every single time.
