Strange “Troll” Creature Photographed in Rural Pennsylvania

Something weird is lurking in the snowy forests of Pennsylvania, and one woman claims to have captured evidence of it on camera.

A woman named Polly took to Facebook a few days ago in order to post this photograph of a “sasquatch” that was snapped on her friend’s rural property. Like all great images of mystery creatures, the digital zoom has been clearly cranked to a max, making any kind of fine detail next to impossible to define, but it appears to show a gangly, crouched creature moving on all fours. Polly told Facebookers that the creature didn’t fear humans and moved like a juvenile primate:

A friend of mine lives in Pennsylvania and saw this as she called her dogs in. She was scared, because it didnt run off. She has 2 big black Chows. We think she saw a baby sasquatch. And that is what she thinks also, because she has never seen anything like this. She knows what a bear looks like, and she said it looked like a little gorilla. – Polly

The gangly beast does’t seem to fit the profile of other Bigfoot snapshots, so many commenters have taken to referring to it as a “troll”.

My first thought, and maybe I play way too many video games, is that the beast looks an awful lot like one of the Grunt’s from Halo. Someone get Master Chief on the the line.

What do you think is peeking at us in the bizarre photo? Are we looking at some kind of undiscovered monster? Or is there a more mundane answer to the pixelated image? Have you ever captured a photo of a strange creature lurking in your yard? We want to know!

    That could literally be anything. I think I saw one of those while playing Skyrim last night.

    Seriously, it’s 2013. Everybody’s got a smartphone and then some. How is it possible that people take such terrible pictures and then want us to think anything but ‘hoax?’

  2. Stormeye says:

    I know that, given the energies often associated with Fortean phenomenon that getting a good picture is often difficult but, just once, I would like to see someone turn in a picture that at least gave us some sort of frame of reference for what we are seeing. This picture could as easily be a long distance shot of a tangled set of tree limbs as it could a picture of an unknown animal. We have nothing to judge size against and there is only one photo. This one would have to go in the “who the hell knows” pile without extensive investigation and onsite followup.

  3. Eric says:

    It’s a guy in winter clothing, wearing a backpack, stooping to gather some snow to form into a snowball.

  4. Ken Summers says:

    Wrong, wrong, wrong! It’s a Slitheen. No doubt about it.

  5. Vicar Lee says:

    Ken, I agree.

    Stormeye, thank you for pointing out the fact that if something doesn’t belong to the natural world, then it follows that its supernatural composition will mean that it is difficult to capture, measure, or otherwise identify. That is very often overlooked or else called an “excuse”.

    How can science comment on anything that exists in defiance of the laws of science?

    That all said, if this isn’t a Slitheen, it’s a Demon Monkey:

  6. Robyn says:

    I think it looks like a furry At At

  7. Cherie says:

    How about an Imperial Walker? That’s what came to my mind, since it’s such a blur, it could be anything.
    Baby Sasquatch? Peh. ‘Polly’ has been eating too many sugar cookies.

    I liked Eric’s answer. A guy about to lob a snowball is much more immediately interesting anyway – at least from a ‘survive the attack’ point of view.

  8. Totem says:

    I couldn’t shoot a worse photograph if I tried. But let’s consider, a strange humanoid creature in rural Pennsyltucky. Nothing to see here. Hurry on and cover your behinds on the way out.

  9. Henry says:

    So, you guys went out bigfoot hunting with Tim again and took his picture?

  10. Bob says:

    An emaciated young bear. Poor thing looks like he’s not long for this world.

  11. Totem says:

    It does resemble a young ragged bear. He looks like he needs a good meal.

  12. Carse says:

    Hmmm the heel is turned straight in !

  13. Niners in 2012 says:

    its a bigfoot, carrying a dead fawn!

  14. Mike says:

    It looks like a black lab getting ready to poop.

  15. Tomalak says:

    ALWAYS blurry.

  16. Mark says:

    I think it looks like the pig from Amytiville Horror. Seriously, to me it looks simply like a shadow, nothing more and nothing less.

  17. monte says:

    C’mon…look at it closer, it’s obviously two people having sex!

  18. Terri phelps says:

    It looks like a wolf with an old leg injury!

  19. gleep-glop says:

    It’s the Bear F@cker from Super Troopers.

  20. I’m not quick to judge. I’d say it’s probably a primate of some sort. If it’s indeed a bigfoot species. It’s obviously a primate. I don’t know much about trolls. If trolls were real, I’d see them in the primate family too. If not, it could be an unknown species of creature. I also can’t rule out a chimpanzee. It could be anything! It does look unknown to me. It’s not as blurry either. It’s a good pic non the less.

  21. The Mike says:

    It’s a cow.

  22. Don says:

    Relax folks, it’s just my uncle Ralph.

  23. Hagar says:

    - Hey, look! It’s a Bigfoot, I’ll get my cellphone with the really bad camera and take a snapshot!

  24. Kimm says:

    Dude, that a horse bending down to eat grass.

  25. Edward says:

    It sounds like it was a “Nain Rouge”. Those little dwarfs have been attacking people around Detroit since 1701.

  26. Chester says:

    Don’t zoom in; zoom OUT instead. This is a wide-angle shot and is distorted, the closest parts look disproportinately large. It is a head-on view of a dog or coyote snuffling the ground. The head is in the foreground and you can see its left ear perked up. The right ear is obscured by the body. Immediately behind and alongside are its forelegs, foreshortened by the camera angle. The rear legs are occluded. The tail can be seen curling upwards.

  27. Robin Swope says:

    This looks like the bear that was filmed a few years ago in Warren Pa. It looks like a still from some of the footage.

  28. Dante Kali Das says:

    It is the Michigan Dogman, “wolf boy”.

  29. MadMaximus says:

    I am so tired of these hoax videos and photos….its TWENTY THIRTEEN! (2013) that is….Technology is extremely advanced nowadays yet everything “supernatural” that people photograph or record….looks like its on a 1920′s Camera….Actually even the 1920′s cameras had more detail than this mudddy-blurry-B.S. looking photography!! I wont believe….Too many decent cameras out there these days for there to be so many crappy B.S. photos like this. I dont buy it one bit.

  30. Askers86 says:

    looks like a “troll” from skyrim

  31. TK says:

    Really???? That’s it???? That’s the picture? Why bother even putting it up?

  32. Debz says:

    It is Smeagol’s father sent to seek out and destroy any ring bearing hobbit.

  33. alanborky says:

    Jesus!

    It looks like a guy having sex with a dog drooped over some sort of a frame!

  34. rohan says:

    It is a monkey of some sort, I would say a spider monkey or a macaque.

  35. butch says:

    has any 1 seen macaque? does any 1 want to see macaque? anyne?

  36. desert says:

    Isn’t it convenient that no one…..NO ONE…ever gets a clear picture?
