(Hoax) Tomagami Island Photos and Video

Post by admin » Tue Nov 12, 2019 5:58 am

From Darkwing: This appeared to be an attempt to use the MABRC as a conduit for the release of a hoax that would benefit the advertising of a movie currently about to be released. They sent the photo to a MABRC Researcher, apparently in hopes that the MABRC would release the photos to the public and start the hoax rolling. Little did they suspect that after the MABRC agreed not to release them, that the MABRC would keep their word and not release them, effectively killing their attempt for the hoax to go live. ElectricBigfoot was sent the first contact because of his interest in the Seven Chutes Creature and the hoaxers tried to use that as their entryway into the MABRC with this hoax. I put this message here on his post, simply because it's the first post in the thread about this, and wanted everyone to know the background info here. Be assured, ElectricBigfoot had no part in the hoax, period. Just want to make that clear outright, so there is no misconceptions.

As many of you know, I am interested in the researching Bi-Pedal canine reports received mostly from Wisconsin and Quebec.

Guys I just got off the phone with an individual in Northern Quebec who claims to have several very clear photographs of a creature that looks, as he says “Like a much older version of what is in my photo.” (See http://www.beastofsevenchutes.com). He also says that along with approx 15 photographs, he has clear video of the subject from approx 70 feet away.

He says the photos and video, taken in Northern Quebec, have been analyzed by several digital experts. He claims he is working with attorneys and they are so impressed they are backing a documentary about the photos. According to him, the experts have said that they are either the real thing or someone went through a lot of trouble to fake.

This person claims to spend a lot of time in the remote Boreal forests, as he calls the region, of Northern Quebec where he says the creatures live. He said that the creature he photographed is trapped on an island right now, that it went to the island when there was an ice bridge this past winter and that it became stranded when the ice thawed. He is planning a trip back in October before the ice returns but after the foliage from the trees falls, so that they will be able to see into the brush.

He is going to send me one of the photos, I have been asked not to share it with anyone. Though I did get permission to share the story. I will advise when and if I receive the photo.

I received the photo last night...

The person contacted me because he says it is the same species as the creature in the B7C photo and they may want to use the B7C photo in the documentary. He said I have permission to talk about the photo he sent, just cannot show it at this time.

It was shot in Oct 2007, just after breakfast. Here is a description of it.

The ground is snow covered, looks like several feet of snow. The photo looks like a typical forest scene in snow. Hardwood tree trunks and a few evergreens, looks like the sky may be overcast, but there is plenty of contrast and light because of the snow.

Brush is not too thick, can see clearly probably 100 feet in most directions before the trees gets thick.

There is what looks to be a large root system sticking up out of ground, in the middle of the photo, looks like a large tree fell over and the roots are exposed. Seems to be plenty of context to get an estimated height of the root. He said the subject was kneeling at the roots of the tree when he first saw it. Then it rose and headed off into the woods.

There is something clearly standing next to the root, the right of it. The snow is behind it. It is staring right at the photographer. You can see long flowing grayish hair everywhere. The whole body is covered with it. You can see the whole body, except for the bottom of the feet which are in the snow.

It is eerie, it almost looks like a man in a long fur coat, you can see the right arm/hand lifted from the side of the body just a bit. The left arm is lifted horizontally in front of it, blended with the front of the body. You can see eyes which seem sunken, and the shape of it's head. The body is light gray with the snow behind it. Cannot see facial features, there seems to be hair flowing downward where it's nose or snout would be.

The photographer says that they have a total of 11 photos, and 2:35 minutes of HD video that his partner shot of it. The camera was taking about 3 seconds to reset between shots. I have only seen one photo, and he said he sent me the worst one.

I have looked in the general region where he says it was taken. Seems to be very very remote. It was in Quebec, near the border with Ontario.

Quebec is 594,860 square miles.

It is located in the eastern part of Canada, and is the largest province in Canada.

Alaska 656425 square miles

Quebec 594,860 square miles

Texas 268601 square miles

California 163707 square miles

Quebec is in purple (2).

That is all that I have at this point. Will keep you up to date.
Here is the advertisement for the movie, since it keeps being made private, I have uploaded it to the forum for posterity's sake.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:56 am »
Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?

Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
