Well, see, these things all happened like 25 years ago or more. And the more recent ones -— they dropped their phone in the water, or were too terrified to take a picture. So that’s how I know they’re all true! Besides, who would lie about a thing like that? Ok, well, yeah, maybe a bunch of adolescent boys, but who ELSE would lie about a thing like that? Ok, well maybe some guy who likes to play practical jokes, but who else? Nobody, right? :D
There are plenty of photos. You just have to look for them. They’re there.
Photos lots of times don’t work. There’s plenty of instances of people setting up trail cams and getting pictures of nothing.
When I lived in Oldsmar, FL there was a conservation preserve bordering my development and one or two would come in there every fall. So one time I slipped the fence and went in there with my Canon Powershot. There was an area of shallow water not too far back. Walking the edge of the water I saw a large, foot-shaped print. It was a bit indistinct and looked to have been made when the water was higher. Nearby, towards the water was clear imprints of a biped on all 4s, like someone bent down to take a drink. I mean it had the foot imprint, the shins, the knees and the forearms all imprinted in the mud. The water level had receded so the imprints were dry. I took several photos and one great shot of the whole imprint clearly showing it was a biped on all fours. The shin imprint was over 2 feet long and the forearm was nearly as long. Not human. When I got back to the house and went to load the pictures to my computer the one photo which showed the whole imprint was completely white. The camera has never done that before or since.
