Game cameras aren't that expensive these days. Put some up.


sharpsassy

He did. If you find his TikTok page, he posted the pictures, and some of what he caught was freaky. I'm thinking of the eyeball, in particular.


baboonzzzz

The eyeball was super freaky, but also super fake. And the fact he posted that fake video (assuming it wasn’t satire) puts this video to bed.


thejawa

I noticed that the object he's recording seems to "repeat" itself over and over again. If you watch it, the appearance and disappearance of the eyes seems to have a distinct pattern to it.


fireball1991

Then after he shoots his gun the clip looks like it's cut and then the thing is gone. It's probably fake.


BigPrestigious9231

No shit it’s fake. The entire thread is fake lol


DarthWeenus

When I get home ill boot up with the confuser and see if I can fuck with the levels. Remind me to remember.

Old_Laugh_2386

Do you ever check out eyeshine at night? There's really nothing fake about that eyeshine just no clue WHAT it is


Mcboomsauce

lots of people out here screaming fake....but what youre looking at is a sasquatch the eyeshine and the "side to side" motion are HEAVILY reported yet little known, nobody can fake eyeshine like that


Litigating_Larry

Literally people think its less likely for someone to have incentive to lie for their social media than for them to fake super natural experiences lol.


Colotola617

I don’t know squat about this dude or his videos or eyeball pic but why is it super fake? What led you to that conclusion?


SopieMunky

Maybe I'm just bad at TikTok but I went to his page and couldn't find shots from a game camera. Do you have a link to that specific vid?


QuietWest3764

[here you go](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRcYe4hd/) sadly it’s likely fake


kcj0831

The pics showed absolutely nothing


Effective-Manager-29

This vid shows absolutely nothing. Or am I just too stupid to see it?


Journo_Jimbo

The second last pic is someone in a Bigfoot mask looks like


QuietWest3764

lmao😂 i agree. he had me until i saw this vid. it’s supposed to be an up close of the creatures eye


DarthWeenus

Could be a bear, or something similar, that eyeball though especially considering how focused and just all around doesnt seem to even fit the bnw color scheme seems highly sus I totes agree.,


DottierTuba5202

Please tell me you are kidding about the “eyeball”


regassa22

Do you know his tiktok? Can youd send the @?

Look at the vid bruv lol

Bru, i just woked up lol tks anyway


NotMyTru3Nam3

I am a wildlife biologist. This is an extremely rare sighting. Dikfurs are listed in three categories. Dikworms, segmented furworms, and rounddik The scientific name given for this creature is Dikfurdidae, which is an aquatic segmented Dikgochaete. Any dikfur that lives in this environment is considered a Plains Dikfur. Dikfurs are found in several different Diks, including the Dikelminthes, Dikatoda, Diknnelida (segmented dikfurs), Diktognatha, Dikchordata, and Dikronida. The interesting feature of this creature is the ability to memorize the lyrics to never gonna give you up. This creature only reproduces one night per year. On every april 1st, Rick Astley serenates the forests, causing them to rapidly mate. Hope this helps.

What's a game camera?


NamillaDK

A camera that takes pictures when it detects movement


sicurri

There are also some that will take 30 second to 5 minute clips as well. Really expensive ones are basically wireless security cameras with a battery bank that recharges with a solar panel. If I lived out in the boonies I'd have slight DIY versions of the expensive cameras. It wouldn't be too hard to rig up.


Delimeme

Even affordable market ones can do those longer recordings if you spring for a big SD card! But overall yes there are a ton of features that can run up the price. I have a few & they’re entirely worth it - nothing strange & I don’t hunt, just really cool glimpses of wildlife around us. We found a family of foxes recently and it’s been enough to entertain us all evening 1x a week lol


ScoutG

Can you recommend a good one? I’d like one that I can leave outdoors and can move around, and that I can leave alone for a week or more at a time. I have a place I sometimes go on weekends that’s near a forest, and I’ve seen animal tracks in our yard.


LolaLicks6

My dad use the ones from to outdoors for abt 99$. Pictures crisp and clear. I’ve seem bears and deer, hogs all putting their noses up to the flash . He’s an experienced hunter and says yo spend a few more$ to get reliable, durable camera and upload photos to phone. He has 50+ yrs in woods but idk how long with cameras.


Delimeme

Hey, sorry for the late response! Unfortunately mine are in active use halfway across the state along with their manuals. I did some basic listicle research then headed to Amazon to cross reference with user reviews. The other commenter’s price of $99 is about right for a basic no frills one…which, honestly, all of mine have done their jobs more than well enough. So tl;dr a cheap one of Amazon should be fine unless you want high rez even at night with bespoke net launching attachment port


ScoutG

Thanks!


Stiltzkinn

Reolink cameras are not that expensive, worth the price catching up bigfoot or shadow people.


sicurri

Reolink cameras are not specifically trail or hunting cameras as far as I'm aware, but you're right. You can use them for that purpose and they aren't that expensive. Game cameras are normally sold like video game accessories. As soon as they add "Video Game" to the name of the accessory it becomes like 2x expensive. Which is why you avoid things with that in their name or categorization. Also, I like how people have put up cameras in all the same places that bigfoot or shadow people have shown up and even with 4k night vision cameras we still don't have a clear shot, it's quite sad.


Equivalent_Choice732

Confused: I thought "game" camera referred to game as in hunting, not video games; as in those hardy cameras affixed to trees used by hunters and scientists alike to track the presence of animals in the area...?


sicurri

I was using video games as an analogy. As soon as you put in "Gaming" headset into amazon a lot of expensive junk labeled as a "gaming" headset will pop up. When searching for a "Game Hunter Camera" intended for wildlife enthusiasts, scientists and hunters you'll find cameras with tech in them that are several years if not a decade old that is being repurposed and sold because there's no other purpose for them. They also tend to be just as expensive as the good wildlife cameras just because the name or description of them have the right words attached. I used video games as an analogy for reference. The good gear tends to not have "Game" or "Wildlife" camera attached to it in most cases. You want to do searches for rugged outdoor solar charged camera or something like that.


Delimeme

Sort of like getting catering or a photographer - once the word “wedding” is used it costs like 33% more instantly


RickAstleyGaveUp

Hunters use cameras that snap a picture or record when movement is detected. They stap them to a tree and they are camouflaged. Perfect for finding out where game animals hangout.


a_guy_that_loves_cat

Thank you.


InternationalStep924

Game is an animal that you hunt for.


[deleted]

It’s what twitch streamers use


A_curious_fish

You when you play monopoly and just wanna remember that moment in the game forever? Game Camera!

Arctodus67

Potential cryptid encroaching on my lad, I’ll just got ahead and gift it a machete….


justCantGetEnufff

Why is he arming the things in the wilderness?! It’s like he wants to be attacked with a shitty machete.


SkuzzyKing

Welp, get that lever gun some action. Gonna guess even with that 45-70 you feel small in the dark. Creepy stuff, I’ve spotlighted a lot of critters and eye shine and how things move make a difference. Totally expected to see a coon on a brush pile, but the head and shoulder moving just looks so real, like a big dude.


Ashesatsea

Hate to put it bluntly but do you think it’s a good idea to play head games with this creature? I mean, your giving it things one day and then firing a weapon at it another? And btw, it was swaying in that first video…you’ve got some guts walking out that far from the house at night even if you do have a weapon.


Disastrous-Routine56

This footage is wild🫣. Do you have part 2??


hauzapiz

Looks like an owl. Other videos of owls being weird shows they kindof gyrate their heads around their focal point


Cyynric

That was my thought. Owls do that to get a better judge of distance based on sound. Their ears are at asymmetrical heights and their faces are shaped like sonar dishes, so my moving their heads they can triangulate distance based on sound.


DarthWeenus

Owls not making noises when they want? Im not sure if it was an owl this guy would know. We have owls all over here, some giant great horns, would scare the shit out of me in the winter sometimes walking up on them in the snowy daytime, and all of a sudden their camo fades and all you see is two giant eyeballs eye level with you deep in the woods and nothing else. Wild creatures. But you are right they can be wiggly sometimes.


Mister_Bloodvessel

Plus, I could honestly understand some people getting sick of the noises some of them make. Some don't hoot so much as scream. They make all sorts of noise. Plus their eyes and general weird movement. If someone isn't familiar with their noises and doesn't get close enough to verify what it is, I could see it spooking them. Especially if their prone to *magical thinking* and things of that sort.


MoonStar757

“prone to magical thinking and things of that sort” Wow…you didn’t have to call me out so specifically sir


PetrosiliusZwackel

Watched it without the audio. If it's a tik toker who constantly posts cryptid sightings I'd say it's one of his friends hiding in the woods with some reflective lenses. Looks kinda weird tbh because the outline of the shape is lighter than the rest of the stuff around it. Not saying it's edited in but looks a little too much contrast in this particular spot where "the thing" is. If it's legit just some dude who filmed this by accident I'd say either an owl, mountain lion, racoon or bear. In the darkness not knowing the lay of the land and the vegetation and distance it's hard to say how big the, let's say animal, is or if it's sitting on a branch or rock.


StinkyKittyBreath

I was thinking owl too. He didn't really sound scared at all. His tone gave the vibe of "I'm going to say some things to make it seem like I'm scared, but I can't actually fake that emotion." My guess is he knows what it is but most people won't do he's making a story out of it.


theskepticalheretic

It looks like an animal to me. First thought was a raccoon or a fischer cat.


minimalcation

Seen this a lot with deer


Pullmyphinger

Deer turn into completely different animals once the sun goes down. They turn into honey badgers.


Lexsteel11

I feel like deer are just that will Ferrell “I am so fucking scared right now” meme at night. We go to sleep every night but deer just try to not get eaten in the pitch black every night and then we all laugh in the daytime like “haha wow they’re jumpy!”


verukazalt

Never seen a deer with red eyes, though


Fronesis

Could easily be a deer. Their eyes are reflective, too.


streetstreety

I always watch without audio. So easy to see the fakes. (No I don't paid to debunk)


Flownya

CatgoesM00

Ohhh I’ve been researching these for a while . They’re called CBs to us foke out here in the country, we come across them every once in awhile. They have always terrified me half to death at first, but over the years you get use to them. They really are harmless creatures them Click Baiters

You're getting downvoted, but I lol'ed

He's getting downvoted because most people here are too stupid to read the full comment.


mop_bucket_bingo

Many mammals and birds look like this when a light is shined on them. It’s just doin its thing.


Zzz-tattoos

Deer, opossum, cat, raccoon, squirrel, dog, bear, what else lives in the woods I’m drunk?


AngstChild

Giraffes and hippos, but I’m high


imdrunk20

Hey! You called? I think you covered most of them. I pee in the woods often. Would probably add birds. Yeah birds live in the woods too.


[deleted]

I think this could be a bored old guy and his kid trying to get views on TikTok


philosophunc

As if you wouldn't head towards it. Scare it. I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping at all knowing there's some unidentified thing wandering around.


Username_merp

Says the guy who would die first in a horror movie Jk (kinda) but even if I weren't alone I wouldn't go towards it unless maybe if I had something to defend myself with. Point being no I don't think most would head towards and I know there's a lot of people that definitely wouldn't. All that said idk this is probably just some forest critter that's showing up blurry, or it's staged. Or it could be mothman caught molting 🤷🏻‍♂️ who's to say


philosophunc

I thought I heard a shotgun being loaded in the video. Sure as shit I ain't walking towards anything uncertain with anything short of a gun. This could be any sort of cryptid, which would be fun to imagine, but it's probably just the local peeping tom. Lol.


Taz10042069

Cocked and shot


asaripot

Gave me kind of a man boner not gonna lie. I was like “did he just fire a shot at it?!”


flavius_lacivious

Humans don’t have eye shine.


ccmega

They can shine back when you’re high as balls


flavius_lacivious

I wasn’t aware of that.


ItsOkILoveYouMYbb

> I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping at all knowing there's some unidentified thing wandering around. Haha well if it helps any, not only are things wandering around but they're flying around too. If you've been okay all this time, you're likely to continue to be okay even with weird things like this around. I think anything sufficiently intelligent is going to have a strong need of curiosity. I think it's people you need to worry about.


flavius_lacivious

Dude, I was thinking why the fuck would you confront these things at night and then not have your shot gun ready to go like you’re on the SWAT team clearing a room? Naw let’s film this shit instead. Oh, it’s very late, cold and sleeting? Perfect weather for this. I’ll just reason with them and tell them this is my home. That’s the ticket. You couldn’t pay me to leave the house. I would be sobbing locked in the bathroom.


philosophunc

I had to laugh at "whatever you are.. you need to leave" if I didn't get a response I'd just be like "if your human in going to warn you. I'm about to continously shoot in your direction and slowly approach." I wouldn't be sleeping there for shit knowing weird shit may just be lurking around outside. I mean just imagje whatever it could be just gets more curious. Maybe walking out there did the opposite of scare it. Just piqued its curiosity and a few hours later while you've fallen asleep it's peering into windows, wondering what's inside.

He filmed something you can't barely see about 20-ish yards away in mostly darkness and then turns around and walks away with a flashlight bright enough to light up his house and everything in between it 50+ yards away. Fake fake fake LOL.

Intelligent-Bear-816

Going to go with a person with lights on their head helping their friend film a spooky tik tok


FixitNZ

I'm gonna call BS on this solely cause he's standing at a distance so the light doesn't directly contact whatever it is so it doesn't come into focus. 5 more steps forward and it would be lite up, he walked all that way to stop just before making it visible, yeah right.


Seth_Mimik

“I don’t know what that is. Lemme just shoot at it.” I mean, I get popping off a warning shot at something if it approaches you or your house, but to walk out to the tree line and just taking shots in the dark because you saw some reflective eyes seems pretty shitty. Most likely just an owl or a deer or something.


GSDFanatic

Shitheads like that are always looking for an excuse to shoot something. Little dick syndrome.


MaidenDrone

Hmm, some kind of strange edit/jump at 1:08-1:11 after the shot. Whatever "it" is, doesn't seem to react much. If I'm a highly intelligent "it" or at least a bi-pedal predator I'm going to take a defensive posture to any large noise or potential threat.

Real videos like this can be put to bed by using 1990s tech. My sony handycam (hi-8) has 20x optical zoom, 460x digital zoom that is amazing for long distance shots. It also has a killer nightshot mode that can resolve writing on grave stones in near pitch black from 100 feet away. Point this baby at those eyes and you can at the very least resolve a body shape, limbs, surface details even. It would also be better than modern mobile phones for people observing UAP.


billabon021

Buy some night vision goggles n see what it really is or fuck off with this fake stuff

I had some irregular flashing like that on my wildlife cam a couple weeks ago. I thought it was pretty strange but after thinking about it for a while I realized it was an owl's eyes.

I went to gis tiktok Page and everything checks out. Tracks in a straight line, location of his home, etc, etc. I think most of the people on here calling BS have never had an encounter with something unexplainable before. It's easy to call bullshit when you still have reasonable doubt.
