BERWICK, Louisiana (WVLA) - A deer hunter captures a spooky image wandering through the Louisiana woods at night.

A hunter near Baton Rouge says he found this freaky photo on his deer stand camera.

The hunting camera was broken but the memory card was still there and so was this bizarre image.

It looks like a cross between a human and an animal, with long slender appendages and glowing eyes.

The hunter says he just hopes it's a vegetarian, if he runs into it in the woods again.

Bull crap. Really look at the picture, Human appendages. Look at the back of the legs, nice feet. Tall, skinny kid in long underwear. High-school-football-like shoulder pads, and a mask with reflective eyes. Give me my hockey stick, base ball bat, or my .45. If it wasn’t attacking me I would get charged with manslaughter. Although for stupidity reasons, you should be able to shoot these as common varmints. The trophy value would suck. just my 2 cents, oh wait is that in American (my bad).

To go beyond stupid, deer cams are set up on the side of the trail, what moron animal goes head on for a photo. Are we supposed to give him a gun so we can come pick him up in the morning for processing. Just asking!

This is obviously a speed-skating James Carville viewed through night vision goggles.

They call them things down the bayou “Haunts”. Don’t be walking in the woods at night when the “Haunts” be roaming.

Is that an infrared pic? Don’t most deer stand cameras just take regular pics with a flash in dark conditions?

No, some of the cameras don’t use a flash.

There’s an awful lot of information missing, in the story and in the photo. It looks like an enlargement of a small area of the frame which lends credence to the bat theory.

It could be a lot of things, up to and including a hoax.

I put it into the serious crypto pipeline as best I could, we’ll see what happens.

Well, that particular picture is definitely a flash picture.

Thing seemed to be on its knees, eating something? The motion detector went red, it looked up?

When I lived in Oklahoma a friend owned some land outside Monroe, LA or as you say “Munrohhh”.

Took me deer hunting and we heard some creepy azz sounds all night while waiting for dawn.

Kept the 357 and 12 gauge warm all night.

My friend wouldn’t even drink that night. LOL

We left at dusk with nothing and drove back to Tulsa.

Oh well.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I was just never into much high tech when I hunted and fished.

Is that an infrared pic?

Yes, it seems to be taken (or faked) with a zero-lux camera. Some trail cameras use flash, but the images are infinitely better. For example see here.

With this said, it's nearly impossible to have this picture taken. The creature had to see the camera and approach it in darkness. The IR camera does not radiate anything until it is ready to take the picture (the battery won't last otherwise.) Such a camera would use a PIR sensor, and it doesn't radiate - it detects body heat. So the camera is 100% invisible, modulo scent - and a camera left in the woods for days will lose that quick.

There are also anatomical issues with the body of the creature. Its arms are so thin they would be either broken after a few days in this world, or they are made of composites :-) The nature doesn't make such beings for a reason - they can't survive. Considering that other people noticed that there are other versions of this photo, it is probably a hoax.

On top of that, there is that old problem of Loch Ness monster: a single creature or a tiny population cannot survive. Hunters know all about that. It is virtually impossible to have an unknown animal hiding in a populated territory; it would have to have some numbers, and then some of them would be seen alive or, more likely, dead. A chupacabra, if there is only one, has to be immortal and infinitely elusive, preferrably with a cloak of invisibility that is powered up most of the time. Even an intelligent ET, with smarts and technology, would find it problematic to hide from the locals for long.

Now you know why the old Cajun never goes in the woods without an rifle, pistol and Bowie knife.......just saying ;^)

How do those things taste cooked Cajun-style?

Yeah, the physiology is very weird. Huge shoulders and arms like toothpicks. With shoulder muscles that massive it would probably break its own arms trying to do something they couldn’t handle.
