Vent: Caught a guy doctoring photos at a Bigfoot conference in Oregon

I went to the annual Sasquatch Summit in Eugene last June, and one presenter had a blurry pic that looked exactly like a hoax from a 2004 forum. I called him out during Q&A and he packed up his table 10 minutes later. Has anyone else spotted faked evidence at these events?

oh nah, i gotta push back on that a little. the blurry photo he used was literally the same one from a 2004 forum, complete with the exact same tree branch and shadow pattern. you can't just accidentally recreate someone else's hoax shot by pure chance.

Hold up man, I gotta push back on this a little. Calling someone out at a conference is a big move and maybe you were right, but sometimes people just have bad photos. I've been to a few of these things and the vibe is usually more about sharing what you found, not running a courtroom. That guy might have just been some regular dude who genuinely thought he saw something and got embarrassed. Packing up quick could mean he was a fraud, but it could also mean he just didn't want to deal with the hassle of being grilled in front of everyone. Not every blurry picture is a hoax, sometimes it's just a guy with a shaky phone and bad luck.
