18. In 2007, a young Bigfoot was allegedly caught on a wildlife camera in Pennsylvania
Perhaps because the grown-ups are so big and thus more likely to be spotted, there are very few reports of young Sasquatches. But if Bigfoot is a biological creature, as most believers claim, they must reproduce. Thus trail-camera photos purportedly showing a young Sasquatch taken in Pennsylvania in 2007 are seen as absolutely vital by Bigfoot researchers. Known as the Jacobs Photos after the owner of the trail camera which was triggered, they show a long-limbed creature with short hair crouching on all fours. So is this the best evidence since the Patterson-Gimlin film, 40 years before, or something mundane?
Science, again, provides a convincing explanation: a bear, or bears. A common explanation for people seeing Sasquatches is a bear with mange, emphasizing the length of its limbs, standing on two legs. An equally convincing explanation is that the images show a bear looking straight at the camera, or a mother-bear with a cub. Naysayers also point out the dark and grainy nature of the pictures, which they say has distorted and obscured the mundane subject to look like something else entirely. Then again, not everyone is convinced it isn’t a baby Bigfoot, and the pictures have their vociferous defenders.
