Episode 19 - Strange Crypto Creature?

On April 4th as I make my routine trek up the trail I spotted a very dark spot up in one of the trees. After hours and hours of intensely examining several hundred photos I have developed an eye for spotting color variations that stand out from the rest of the image including dark shadows. Very young Squatches are common here and have been reported  running down trees at fast speeds when spoofed. When I spotted it I knew I was onto something so I stared at it while getting my camera out to take a couple of photos. It didn't try to run but stayed still the whole time. Later I was able to view the image on the laptop and after zooming in could see the strange creature you see up top of this article. I'm leaning on this being a young Squatch but it could be some other kind of creature. One things for sure - it has a hominid look and is not any animal you would see up here in the Cascades Mountains.

A special thanks to one of my subscribers on YouTube okie musgogee for working on the photo to bring out more facial detail:
