Woodland Photos Mystery What Is It?

A very intelligent and interesting reader sent me a couple of photos taken in the woods. He heard a twig snap while taking these pics. One shows a strange stick structure. The other, he didn't notice until later when viewing the photo that there was a man-shaped shadow figure in the center of the photo.




Since this blog is all about theories and my highly inquisitive and intelligent readers coming up with concepts, I'd like to hear what you think.

  1. I think it's a rare Pareidolia!

  2. It took me a moment to see the shadow figure in the second pic. Maybe it's a guardian of the forest. Land Wights is another name for it. Cool pics.

  3. I feel this is a Sasquatch in some form.

  4. Paredolia does seem to be the culprit. The head, most of the torso and the legs are natural light/shadow play on the trunk of a massive tree. What appears to be an ARM (the left one if we assume this is a frontal view) seems to be stone or perhaps a cave-mouth just behind the aforementioned tree.

    A cool pic all the same. I am curious about the "structure", though. It is rare and odd that trees would collapse upon one another in such a way.

  5. Yup. That's what I'd say. I had wondered if the photographer could have cast a shadow,as the light appears to be behind him, but it's just odd enough that it doesn't seem natural, so my guess would be shadows from the other trees creating what our eye picks up as human shaped. The stick structure is interesting, as one of them is obviously a broken off sapling, but it's so small, I doubt any BF-sized creature would have made it, so my other guess is that once one limb falls at an angle, any other limbs that fall, catch on it and seem to stack up atop of it.

  9. Hmn. Nice. The 1st with the three overlapped trunks/branches immeditaely remembered me to a practice in certain Hedgework, a form of Nature-based magic, wherein one can more easily cross the threshold to the Otherworld & return safely.

    As for the figure in the 2nd snapshot? It might just be a simulacrum. Then again, I just discovered this book … The Sasquatch People … still not yet purchased, regarding Bigfoot's trans-dimensional characteristic, which is the perspective I not always sided with but nowadays do. Tell your shape-changing friend thank you for the pics ~ (•8-D

  10. Poor Cullan. It's to the left of the lit tree in the foreground, between it and the tree to the left of it. It looks like a man's shadow. You can see his leg.

  11. Bror;
    I like the way you think. That might actually be a shapeshifter magician being caught in the act, hmm? Nature can do some amazing things. I would not be at all surprised at the magic still in the woods that we don't tap because we see woods as something to hunt or cut down trees in. It's a resource for most people and not a wellspring.

  13. Hello, my name is Eric Gray. I am part Nativan Americn and I follow the Native religion, NOT that new wave stuff,but the real bealies and pratcies. The woodlands and nature is my church. I have also been a hunter for 30 years, and I have seen this like this many times.I have seen things from a distance that look like weard objects and/or animals (deer) that upon ferther inspection turned out to natural objects like tree trunks,foilage, light and shadows.Our brain trys to make sence out of all thies things and often we see things that are not there,like people and animals in the distance.NOTE: I am not saying this is the cause of all paranormal things, just in this case.
