A photo of Bigfoot captured in Pennsylvania is a hoax, a local tipster says. The photo featured above has been provided by an unnamed resident, and he explains that it is just an unusually looking tree stump.

According to Huffington Post, the man has sent in his version of the photo, snapped just a few days ago.

John Stoneman posted the original Bigfoot photo last week, claiming to see two beasts in the photo of what we now know is a stump.

His image was captured after the Kinzua Bridge Fall Festival, during which a “Bigfoot Calling Contest” was organized. The man claimed to have spotted Bigfoot while hiking with his girlfriend.

“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,” he described.
