Trail camera captures unknown creature on hunting property near Burnham
Account
A trail camera set on secluded hunting property captured a single image containing a figure partly obscured by a small tree. The owner noticed the figure later while reviewing images and described it as clear and appearing younger, with family members also seeing only the photo. An investigator later viewed the image from the SD card, visited the location, and offered a juvenile interpretation while working to obtain the original.
