'Inhuman Bigfoot figure' seen lurking in water but there may be a simple explanation
Key Points:
- A 25-year-old hiker in upstate New York captured blurry photos of a mysterious figure wading in a remote glacial pond, sparking speculation it might be a juvenile Bigfoot, dubbed the “Syracuse Figure.”
- The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) investigated the sighting, noting the difficult terrain and estimating the figure to be about 4ft 9in tall, with possible “wet fur” rather than sagging skin.
- Critics and social media users suggest the figure is more likely an elderly, overweight man skinny-dipping, mocking the Bigfoot theory and calling the silhouette a “pot-bellied, hunched” person.
- The BFRO has kept the exact location secret but hopes the figure might come forward if it is indeed a local person rather than a cryptid.
