Gable Film: A Bear Attack Video?
The “Gable film” is an edited 8mm film that has been raising a lot of questions and theories for the last few years. Many have declared this to be an elaborate hoax created by someone wanting to capitalize on the “Michigan Dogman” stories. The film itself is owned by MindStage Productions and can be seen online in a very edited and low quality version. It shows what many have said to be the actual cryptid creature lurking around the Wisconsin and adjacent states. Many researchers have claimed that this is just a hoax created by a radio DJ by the name of Steve Cook. The same person who helped create a fictional story of the “Michigan Dogman” as an April Fool’s joke, stated that he had acquired an old 8mm film with the images of a strange beast that attacks the camera man. He stated that the film was found in an estate sale in the lower peninsula of Michigan.
The 8mm reel did not have any detailed information about who or where the film was shot. The only information known was the inscription “Gable Case #MPO41177-1” that was on the film canister.
All the recent chatter about the “Beast of Bray Road” and “Michigan Dogman” is kicking up dust again since the news report on Fox’s Sean Hannity show last week in which Linda Godfrey was interviewed and the Gable film was shown on national television. I’ve noticed that GhostTheory’s web stats have climbed a lot due to all the Search Engine queries for the elusive creature. Not surprisingly I started to see more comments on my previous posts about the case. One of these comments was made by the reader who goes by “Zach Luebke”. He posted the following:

I’ve been looking into this ‘Gable Film’ and found something interesting.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvFYnkyY5tU
look at that and read the full info in the side bar.
Interesting indeed! The link shows a newly uploaded video by the YouTube user QuinlanOUR12. The information they provided states:
I was at my little brother’s house Friday June 10th and my sister-in-law was watching Fox News. (She’s madly in lust with that Sean Hannity guy). A short segment came on about “the Beast of Bray Road”. Hannity then played a clip from a film named…”The Gable Film”.
Sirens went off in my head.
Our only uncle was a film nut in college, back in the seventies. He was always making home movies and beer commercials. He was even hired, (not for pay), to help the Michigan Department of Natural Resources investigate and document a bear attack, just north of Bellaire. (Our Grandmother worked in the Antrim County Courthouse,…. she had a hand in getting him the gig). The victim’s name was Aaron GABLE.
…..GABLE!!!
My mother tells us that after filming the attack scene, our Uncle John was so distraught that he packed up his stuff and moved to Florida, two weeks later!. Mom says his behavior was becoming very psychotic, he couldn’t sleep at night and he kept going on about how “bears have FIVE toes,….. dogs have four”!. Just a week after he left, a DNR officer hand-delivered the film that Uncle John made to my Mother’s house. It’s been in a box in the basement ever since.
Now, I seem to recall that these films usually lasted about five minutes or so, but the film we have is only about a minute long… and the end of it was obviously torn off, not cut clean. I wonder just how much is missing? We almost threw this film away just a couple of years ago, but I wound up buying a vintage projector on eBay, just to see what was on this film. (Boy, was I suprised). NOW,….. I find that there’s this “Gable” film out there?
I wonder if these two films are related. I’ll see if I can get it in better resolution, other than with Wifey’s camera-phone. (It might be expensive,….. but I’m sure it’ll be worth it).
One thing’s for certain, whatever it was on that clip that they played on Fox News,….. it sure didn’t look like no Bear.
Now, I warn you..The video you are about to see is gruesome if real. It shows the upper-half body of a victim after a bear attack. Interesting to point out, the video has some similarities to the Gable film.
Strong images
Right away you will notice that the film seems to be taken from an older camera. Much like the Gable film, it’s vintage look is what stands out right away from the beginning.
Lets break down the information provided by the uploader.
The YouTube user stated that their uncle was hired by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to investigate and document a bear attack, and that their grandmother who worked in the Antrim County Courthouse had gotten their uncle the job. According to what was written, The victim’s name of the bear attack was Aaron Gable.
Besides the obvious uncertainties (ie. is the video real, was it a bear attack, is it related to the Gable film) what is unknown is how many victims there were in the attack, where it was shot and where the actual camera man is.
Now, let’s talk about what stood out to me from watching the video.
First, we take a look at the vehicle in both of the films.
In both films, the trucks (which seem to be a 1968 Ford f250 model) seem almost identical.
image: classicautorental.com
I can be mistaken about the model, since my knowledge of automobiles and their make extends to me taking my car to JiffyLube and checking the “SUV/Black” box.
The next similar object of both films is the camera. There is a handheld camera laying on the ground of the bear attack video which has some form of resemblance to the one of the Gable film.
I don’t have a clue as to what type of cameras these could be, but judging from both images, they look similar in regards to size and hand grip. Maybe some of you reading this have a better clue as to what types of cameras these are.
It’s odd how we see the camera on the Gable film when the camera man shoots him/herself through the truck’s side mirror, and then we see a similar camera laying on the ground of the new film.
Coincidence?
The other similarity between the films is the most disturbing one. The person who is chopping wood in the Gable film has an uncanny resemblance to the dead victim in this new film that has surfaced. The hair style and body type seem very similar to each other. Although not a strong poing, the style of clothing seems to be similar as well.
I really hope this new film that has surfaced proves to be a hoax, the unnerving images of a bear attack victim are very graphic.
There is also a different version of the Gable film out there that has been slowed down a bit and cleaned up.
gable film high quality with slow motion
What can we conclude from the images and videos above?
To me, the explanation of the creature on the film being a man in a suit is not plausible for the reason that you can see it take off running on all for legs. The position of the body when charging and the straight, flat back of the creature is something that would be almost impossible for a human to pull off.
Now let us think about the so called “Case number MPO-41177-1″ that the Gable film had on it’s canister. Can the “MPO” stand for some form of case number? Like a civil lawsuit against a state park or a case for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources?
Since it’s surfacing, the Gable film has brought on a lot of speculation of what really is portrayed on the film. A cryptid creature attacking a person or a known animal attack a person. No one can clearly come up with evidence to the contrary, but to me, it looks like a video from a bear attack investigation that was forgotten over the years only to be found and spawn a new urban legend.
Your take on this?

I lived in Alba Michigan, and Jordon Valley was my back yard for 6 years, every night about 2 am my horses became very up set at some thing in the woods, they would come up close to our house and stay there and snort and stomp there hoofs at what ever was out there,something even took a spot of hair out of my very large sheperd that was in a 5 foot kennel next to the house, and my wolf huskey mix puppy dug and hid under the well house next to the kennel, after that I put up lots of light out side, because before that it very dark,couldnt see anything out side, there was always tracks outside but I ever paid any attention the different of bear or wolf tracks, I never heard of dogman being true, but Jordon Valley could have something living in there.strange thing have happened there people just assume that its bear, all those large cougar sightings every one blames things on.
Now it appears the authorities have gotten involved.
Maybe this will finally give us some answers.
i have watched this video about 100 times in all the forms that you have and youtube have to offer.(this is a hard one ) strange indeed!ive studied the animals movements to a science & compared to that of a charging bear on cabelas big hunts, as well as every other running bear i could find on the net….i would love to dismiss this as a bear.(but i can not.)the movements & hind leg contortions just do not match.so i read the comments on you tube. some think it is a large dog or a gorilla.so i froze each frame of the teeth.i compared them to a vets diagrahm of each animal. I ASSURE YOU THE TEETH DO NOT BELONG TO EITHER, OR A BEAR.the teeth on this animal only have two upper teeth between the kanines.it apears to have 2 teeth missing, one missing beside each of the canines. WELL HERES THE PROBLEM!IF YOU GAVE BACK THOSE MISSING TEETH BACK TO THE ANIMAL,THAT WOULD BE A TOTAL OF FOUR TEETH BETWEEN EACH (upper) KANINE TOOTH.you see, a dog aparently has six. a bear has six between his canines. a gorilla has 8.(IT IS MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THAT THIS IS INDEED AN ANIMAL THAT WE HAVE NOT YET PROFILED)IF ANY MORE FOOTAGE OR DETAILS ARISE ABOUT THIS CASE PLEASE EMAIL TO aynorgirl@live.com FOR ANNILIZATION. THANKYOU (TRENT)
some other points i would like to make about this video are, that when the man turns to run away from the animal it apears that he falls down from what ive anilized & the animal lunges at him, he sticks the camera up in self defence hince the gratuitus shot of the mouth & teeth.you can see the footage start to get fuzzy and unclear as he is spinning around to try and protect his self after he fell.also after the bite frame if you freeze it just right you can actually see the reflection of the animals eyes(THEY ARE CRYSTAL BLUE!)did you hear me (CRYSTAL BLUE!) how many gorillas have you seen with blue eyes? or bears? i have seen dogs with blue eyes but this is clearly not a dog due to the sheer size of the animal.also the dental does not match up as i commented earlier.i know my animals in the united states, but i am no athority on film devices.maby somone could find out who made this model of camera that was used.(what company made it)(when)&(where)this would at least give us a time frame of what years to search records. also i have seen the gable film part 2.im not sure if i buy this one.(would love to hear your opinion on it. aynorgirl@live.com (trent)
if this camera could be purchaced now , say on ebay. you could go to your local zoo or where ever you could film bears. film with the camera at about the same distance for one wicked comparison.
AS FOR THE (MPO-41177-1) NUMBER SET TO THIS FILE., MABY IT STANDS FOR MICHGHAN POLICE OFFICER, AND THE NUMBERS COULD BE IN REFRENCE TO HIS BADGE #, MABY IT,S THE BADGE # OF THE OFFICER IN CHARGE OF THE CASE.I DONT KNOW BUT IT,S A POSSIBLE LEAD.
Trent,
We have already discussed and answered all the questions you are asking. just read the earlier comments and the other forums on this site. Or you can check out Zach Luebke’s site http://www.wildlegends.webs.com ..
well amb3 im afraid that this information is aparently not available to my eyes.the only comments i see besides mine are someone wrambling on about an experience they have had close to there.wich may i add gives no enlightnment on the above topic.there is only one more comment that says(the athorities have gotten involved)but thank you for letting me know that you guys have already covered theese ideas i have. if thats so then what have you found out about the camera? and what about the badge # idea i had? since i cant apparently find all theese topics you have unearthed the answers to, could you enlighten me with another post to this comment list. im going to check out the web site address you gave me now. thanks (trent)
i tried to veiw the web sight you reccomended, ABSOLUTELY NO HELP!ONLY SAW SOME PICTURES OF THE COP FROM GABLE FILM # 2. saw 1 comment of a song about the gable video & one about some copy right video on you tube.(THIS HELPED ME OUT A BIG TOTAL OF ( 0 ) THANKS ALOT (TRENT)
well, i clicked on the link that says(the athorities have gotten involved)there is a little more info there, but nothing that could actually help break this case.no one is asking the questions that could help to solve this one.seems everyone is just making inferiences, and not making educated comments. i know what the video has in it, but i dont need wild stories about what (joe blow) THINKS happend.but on this link you can learn a little more about the way the gable film got out.thankS every one here for reading this for your time. i guess this is one we will never figure out apparently. I JUST WISH I COULD FIND SOME PEOPLE AS INTERESTED IN THIS CASE AS I AM, WITH A LITTLE FUNDING, I WOULD ORGANIZE AN EXPEDITION TO THIS PLACE(THE GENERAL AREA AT LEAST) FROM WHAT I CAN PIN POINT THE LOCATION! IF THIS ANIMAL DOES EXIST, AS A FULL BLOODED 5TH GENERATION CHEROKEE INDIAN, I COULD TRACK THIS ANIMAL IF HE IS STILL IN THE AREA. HE COULD NOT ESCAPE ME! you see i live in the n.c smokey mountains. i have tracked & tranqulized alot of bears in the cover of night and day for tagging purposes.and also pretty much every other animal you have ever seen. thankyou (trent)
Trent I wasn’t trying to make you upset in any way..
There are like 4 or 5 different blogs about the Gable film on this site.. http://www.ghosttheory.com/crypto/gable-film-update-linda-godfrey-and-others-react/ … This one Javier post what Dr Scott researched on the camera “The camera reflected in the window in the original Gable film I have positively identified as a Bell & Howell Zoom Reflex 8mm Electric Eye Autoload Cartridge Camera.”
http://www.ghosttheory.com/crypto/gable-film-2-no-new-leads/comment-page-1/#comments … On this one we discuss the MP0, Javier posted my first theory of what it might stand for.. Then a very “Duh” answer was posted in the older comments by a guy named Jools “People, MP041177-1 clearly stands for :
Michigan Police, 04/11/1977, 1st film or film 1. April would jive with the lack of foliage on the trees at that time of year.”
And finally the last forum http://www.ghosttheory.com/crypto/gable-film-anomalous-entity/ … Here you will see that we discuss what the creature might be .. Read the comments on the Short Faced Bear..
Zach Luebke’s site has everything we have discussed! I know it’s a little chaotic.. but its all there. Zach is convinced that its all been proven a hoax! But I personally don’t think there’s enough evidence to prove the first film a hoax! Yes there are things that suggest it not credible, but I’m yet to see someone prove the creature fake..
I will gladly discuss the subject with you! For some reason the topic just died out, but I’m still intrigued about the situation, and would love to really get to the bottom of it!!
I have read most of the postings I can find on this topic and seen both videos. I don’t count myself a skeptic of most things or an expert on animal attacks, but to start out so you know where I stand on this, I believe it is pushing more towards a hoax, more especially the second film.
Looking just at the videos (not people’s comments). One of the biggest questions I have is near the beginning of the second Gable Film. We see an “officer” holding a sign that reads “Reel 2 Attack Site” Near the end of this video we see the 8mm camera lying in the grass. So here is the question.
Where is Reel 1? If it is referring to the film that is currently in the camera on the ground at the end of the second film, how do they know that they will even have anything in the camera?
Why is the second Gable Film not in police custody in the first place sitting in an evidence locker? Or even the first Gable Film if the have the camera on the ground as shown in the second film?
Who are the officers in Film 2? There should be records kept about them and the case. This information should be easily obtained of all else.
Now to the actual scene of the attack:
Let’s ask the first obvious question. Where is the second victim? We know that there where two people, one driving the truck and one holding the camera. We must assume at this point of the attack that this film is not the same day that the prior filming took place; one because the victim in the second video is wearing different cloths then when chopping wood and two there is no dog. If there was, the dog would have attacked the charging creature. And even if that was off film, there should be remains of a dog on the second video.
So we now have no second victim (which should be there) and no dog if they where killed by an animal, there would be a sign somewhere nearby. All we find is half of one person.
Now let’s examine the person. First off, how long was the victim laying there? Only a few hours or was it days?
Option one is that someone happened upon the abandoned truck and reported it to the authorities. This would have taken a number of hours and surprisingly not all day. The person finding the vehicle would have to drive to a phone. Not knowing where it took place I’m assuming it would take some time. And likewise police to respond, see the truck, find the victim, call back to get the cameraman out there (and then again, why video and not a actual camera that gives better info, which could be explained by “they wanted to try something new”)all of this takes time, but could possibly be only a few hours.
Now let’s look closer:
In Film 1 the shadows from the trees and brush when the camera is pointed toward the animal are all coming toward and to the left of the cameraman. So he is either looking NE and it is sunrise or SW and the sun is setting, And depending upon the season the time could be off, but I’m guessing late winter, early spring just before it starts to green.
Film 2 looks by the shadows assuming from where the body was to the video is the same direction from which the creature came from and thus the same direction the cameraman was facing in film 1 the time looks to be about the same time of day.
Option 2: There is a 2 day missing report filed to the police before they go searching for the missing people and then it takes time for them to find the truck and the bodies. Now the big difference between the films; there are more leaves on the trees in the second film. So now we know that more then a few hours have passed from the original Film 1 and the later Film 2 were shot.
The odd part about this is the body then. Two things disturb me.
One, there seems to be very little evidence as to the lower half of the body. It’s as if it was removed somewhere else and the upper half was deposited there. There are no bones, no nothing. It’s just gone and no drag marks or blood trails. Blood stains, even grass and there seems to be none of that.
Second the part that is left. It is too clean, untouched. It’s as if the person was cut in half. Animals don’t cut people in half and leave no marks. Plus this body has been out here for a few days. Other scavengers and predators would have been at it. The part that is there is too clean and the part that is gone is well, too clean.
So, is the first film a hoax? I don’t know. Is the second film a hoax? I’d have to say yes. So then the question is, why make the second hoax if the first is real?
The teeth and biting on the first film looks added in afterward. The only question as to the first film is what is the creature? Is it a dog dressed like something? Possibly, but doesn’t move right.
Is it a person dressed up? No, doesn’t move right.
Is it a gorilla? No, doesn’t move right.
Only one thing I can think of that moves the way that animal moved and that would be a mountain lion or panther.
This link shows a zoomed in image of the film:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v37srLqgKVI
if you look at the last clip that’s done in black and white it moves like a cougar.
Also remember your looking at a 8mm film that is not good quality of something at a distance and isn’t in the shot for very long. Another thing that makes me think cougar is, when it jumps it pulls it’s legs up, but the legs after they pull up look to be the same length as when it was originally running. This gave the illusion that it was bulkier at the start of its run. We don’t see the full length of its legs. Plus there is defiantly a tail their and not a short one.
We can consider this…If you had footage of a mountain lion (cougar) charging you, you ran away…dropping your camera, but got away. You came back got the camera added in the teeth part, you’d have yourself a fairly good short film. Now it wouldn’t be a masterpiece unless you decided to get some friends together and came up with a follow up film, thus at the beginning of Film 2 that actually call it “Reel 2 Attack Site”
The first gable film depicts a unknown animal. Definitely not a cougar or mountain lion of which there are few in Michigan. Does not move like a mountain lion, has pointed spread ears and a long muzzle. Is a bulky, stocky animal and its fur appears thick and stringy and dark unlike the close cropped coat of a fawn colored cougar. I live in the Los Angeles area of Santa Clarita and we have many mountains living on the fringe of the city. This animal, I repeat is not a mountain lion. Film looks real and if it is a fake its a masterpiece of deception. That damn thing is scary and I’d take care walking in the woods until it can be determined if this thing is real or illusion.
Gable film two: Those cops at the crime scene and this is a homicide, make no mistake about it, do not act like cops, no side arms and they are not assuming the law enforcement stance which is taught in all of the academies. LAPD, Sheriffs, marshals. And where is the shotgun? If your conducting a crime scene investigation and have a half torn body in your midst, I’d have fire power at my disposal. Afterall, you don’t known what your dealing with. Most patrol cars carry a shotgun. I know they did in Detroit where I grew up, 12St at Webb. This is my take: Gable I looks legit, Gable II looks bogus.
I’ve looked at the film way to many times and it still creeps me out.
I worked in exotic pet rehabilitation for many years. That is when people buy exotic animals as pets and either can’t care for them, abuse/neglect them or break the law keeping them. We would be the ones who took the animals, evaluated their chances, placed those we could in zoos etc., or rehabilitated those that needed it. I personally worked with wolves and wolf hybrids but there were large primates there in another area which I visited often. For a few months there was a large older silverback mountain gorilla. He had been kept in a dog kennel for several years and was very aggressive, even with other gorillas. I’m sorry to say that he was deemed “un-savable” and was euthanized. While he was there I did learn that gorillas do eat meat and can even become cannibalistic. I also learned that they can rip a grown mans arm off, or at least that’s what the primate handler told us. We had to stay 10 feet from his enclosure because he was so dangerous. I worked there for years and never was afraid of any creature like I feared that guy. He seemed to exude hatred.
Anyway, what I saw in the gable film looked like a very aggressive large male gorilla. There are times it appears to shift or something but I believe that’s a trick of the old film with larger pixels or something. If a gorilla had escaped it would likely become very aggressive out of fear and hunger.
I’m not saying it’s real, I have no idea about that. but it does look real to me and does look like a gorilla.
Have there been any updates about it ? I understand the films were seized by Michigan State police to determine whether they were a hoax or not.
This is no bragging really. ,
I’m a person who’s studied the gable film various times over and I’ve even hired cryptozoologist and animal specialist to look at the film and they all said the samething. Not saying that it’s a werewolf in the film, but whatever it is, it’s very real. They both said that it seemed to shift shape from two legs to four legs and the way it moves, my doctor saw the film as well and he said himself that no human could move in that way. There’s alot of unknown creatures out there that the world isn’t ready to meet yet. People may not believe in werewolves, but there are some people out there like me, who’s seen things in person with our own eyes that’s scared the shit out of us all.
Jurmaine,
You hired a cryptozoologist? The ones I know of examine video/photos for free. That’s what they do.
But yea, the video is very odd. No information is known about them, or the origins of the GF2 video. If it’s a hoax, then what’s the purpose of it? and why just now?

I suspect that it is a dog being called back to the truck by it’s owner. My son has made films of our dog looking like it is attacking him, by hiding a cookie in his hand and filmimg the dogs attempt to get it from him. We have a large mut and the film looks very disturbing. I wouldn’t dare post it on Youtube, fearful the authorities would believe that a boy is being attatcked. If he faked his death in one of his short films, it would appear very real. Having said that, I do have an experience to share that may shed light on the first film.
One day, I started to walk across my yard with a shovel full of loose stones, to toss it into the Woods about 100 feet away. I only walked ten feet or so, when a large black furry object ran out of the woods toward me. It was low to the ground, gaining on me fast, it was heading straight for me, and I had know idea what I was looking at. My mind decided that it was my black dog, and he had been stung by so many bees that he had swollen far beyond his normal size. I even called to it by my dogs name as it closed in on me. Then I became absorbed in the long waving hair that moved the opposite of it’s galloping body (like the way a skunks hair moves when it hussles). Then I became absorbed in the huge muscles that rythmically flexed and relaxed from front to back as it galloped. Finally, having watched it come at me with no fear, at about ten feet away, I noticed the huge wet dog like nose, then everything behind the nose suddenly turned into a bear.
My first thought was “Oh my God, the Boogie man is real!”. The fear was so powerful that I had what I would call an out of body experience. Most of my being was out of my body off to the right of me, about 30 feet above the ground. The only thing left for the bear was a shell of my existence. My perception of what was happening from the shell of my existence was reduced to a one dimentional enviornment. It was like a page in a book, and all that could happen on one page had come to an end.
It reminded me of what a weasle does to mezmorize a rabbit. It behaves sort of crazy and presents angles of itself that the rabbit doesn’t recognize. The bear camoflouged himself from me until he was right on me.
Now, this is going to sound strange, but I had an intense dream the night before that a huge bear chased me up my stairs within the house, and I barely got away. A few hours later, and I am running up the stairs leading to my back door, barely getting away. The bear looked as confused by however I appeared to him after I left the scene via an out of body experience, leaving little behind for him to take. I believe that I became the weasle and he was the rabbit.I had become something that he didn’t expect.
This is a true story that is really more about consiousness, percertion, and even shape shifting, than a story about a bear charging someone. My emotions were very deep and intense, and I’m sure the bear’s were too. Amazing things happen when high energy emotions are at play and the stakes are life and death. I can only imagine the realities known by the native americans who were constantly entwined in a very intimate relationship with the natural world.The film offers a great lesson in perception.
Scott,
Thanks for that comment. It’s definitely a plausible scenario.
I think this will always just remain a controversial film, since there are no updates, no witnesses. The few that are out there have not come forward.

Perhaps the beast depicted in the Gable Film if it is real was an experitment gone awry, conducted by the U.S. military to clone a wolf and a man for the purposes of creating a new combat vehicle to send out into enemy territory to soften up the resistance so that troops coming after them would face less resistance and suffer fewer casualities. We could use a clone like that in Iraqi or Afganistan and I am certain the military commanders would not hesitate to use it in those theaters of war. Don’t ask me how the Dogman could be controlled. If you can clone it, you can control it.
I came across a website a month ago that had a news article on this very subject of animal/human cloning. It seems that a science laboratory, I forget its name, was conducting an experitment, trying to clone a man and a cow or a goat and a unnamed congressman was trying to introduce a bill in Congress to prohibit such activity. Talk about vile. It seems that man wants to play God or the Creator. People are seeing this Dogman creature all over the United States, so I doubt it is a mass hallucination. This Gable film apparently is from the early 1970’s. If I had that type of skill back then i would have cashed in on it afterall, it’s the American way, practicing free trade and Capitalism in a open market place. The Gable film is troubling. I would like to see some involvement by major American universities using a scientific protocol for in-depth investigation of the Gable film and the Dogman anomalies. Until some irrefutable evidence is introduced into this controversy, one way or the other, it will remain a mystery.
i belive this creature may be real. i am not saying that the vidio is real but the creature is. any one who had the right timing on the attac is either insain or hoaxing it. the attac vidios are probably hoax to get some money, but the beast is real. i have had my own experiences withe the said paranormal, abnormal, and cryptic. thare are the people out thare who are non belivers and there are people out thare who are believers. but the truth will come out when the creature wants to be seen, or when science out smarts us all.
Im content that this is a guy in a furry suit, crawling on all fours.
You may not think he moves right…but of course not, a man on all fours doesnt move right anyway. Its not a movement we are used to seeing, or doing. I see no tail, I see no long snout, but I do see ears.
The first three steps made by the creature are the clearest, and look most like a guy on all fours. When he begins to move, his rear-end shifts to the right causing a brief moment of sideways crawl (common to primates…such as a guy in a suit).
As it gains speed, it is still moving slow and clumsily. This is indicative of movement that isnt naturaly effortless to perform…just as it is not for a bipedal trying to run on all fours.
Straight up though – this creature is slow. In the film, if we are to believe this was an attack charge, the creature never really gains much ground when he charges. Because we never see the creature move any faster, than a man crawling on all fours could possibly move. This of course is the opportune time for our cameraman to begin his frantic run. Instilling the illusion of being chased.
The creature was not of unusual size and appeared to be about not much more than 30 yards from our cameraman. Maybe 40. From the creature’s first steps, it takes 11 seconds until we see the teeth.
11 seconds?…cmon. Lets look at this closely. Nearly every predatory animal on the planet, can cover greater distances in less time than that. Way less time. And this was supposed to be an attacking charge?? But perhaps we ought take into account the additional distance that our cameraman possibly ran, in order to get away. In this case, he wouldve ran for 6 seconds. In 6 seconds, the average guy could probably cover about 40 yards. So lets say total distance the creature gave chase for was 80 yards from start to finish. 80 yards in 11 seconds. 80 yards total distance, in 11 seconds total time.
Seriously? – High School track stars often run the 100 yard dash in 11-12 seconds. So our creature cant seem to run much faster than a High School kid?? Im not buying it.
Bringing us to the final drama, the moment we see the creature’s mouth and teeth. Well, some of you guys were wondering where this guy’s dog was in all of this. Our cameraman runs a little bit, shakes his camera a little bit, and then the camera is put in the dog’s mouth in some fashion. Or perhaps as the picture stabilizes in the final seconds, the dog is commanded to jump up and bite the camera.
Nonetheless, our creature’s teeth—> are the dog’s teeth.
Take it as you will, I vote hoax…and not a very elaborate one at that.
