John Stoneman and his girlfriend were driving home from a fall festival when they spotted something that has since made them famous. Stoneman believes the two bigfoot creatures he captured on camera were attracted by the Bigfoot Calling Contest performed at the festival the day before.

The couple said they were driving along a main road when Stoneman yelled at his girlfriend to slow down and frantically began snapping pictures of what she could only see as a dark spot in the woods. “I said to my girlfriend, you’re not going to believe the attention I am going to get from these shots,” he related. When asked if he truly believed the creatures to be Bigfoot, Stoneman confessed, “I’m not trying to fake anything; I’m 100% truthful. I’m not saying they absolutely are Bigfoot, I’m saying I took pictures of dark objects in the woods that I didn’t know what they were.” Adding that, “I’m still a skeptic, but I did see something.”

In answer to critics, Stoneman had this to say: “This was not a bear and you can see fur on it. It’s wider at the shoulders and tapers down whereas a bear is bigger in the middle and stands differently with its paws out, this was standing like a man, like a Bigfoot.”

Stoneman undoubtedly has gotten quite a bit of attention from the pictures. So much attention that an anonymous tipper told Huffpost Weird News that the alleged Bigfoot couple is in fact a tree stump, claiming this “sighting”as just another scam.
