An NBC 33 viewer claims to have caught an "alien-looking thing" on a deer cam. He chooses to remain anonymous but says the pic was taken on a reserve in Berwick near Morgan City. The viewer says the cam itself was busted when it was found, but the SIM card was still in it and so was the image.
The viewer claims this is NOT a hoax.

I don't think it actually was an alien, he looks way to stupid to have evolved far enough to cover the problem with time when it gets done to travelling between planets

Yeah right, a zombie... Did you ever learn to think?

No, but it seems incredibly improbable that a dead body suddenly comes back to life, by no apparent reason, to destroy humanity

If a virus, or whatever would affect the brain and only leave the Cerebellum, like the plot explains in most zombie movies. Then you would get a crazy mindless creature that only wishes to feed. It would however not be immortal, but it might not feel pain.
Throw in a skin disease and you have zombies.

I developed a technique for enlarging images without distortions a number of years ago so I could fix some old photos for a friend. I just used the method to increase the captured image to 400% so I could study the regularity of the .jpg artifacts, along with continuity of the edges.
1. The .jpg artifacts in the background are a different size and formation than those on the creature. 2. There are no artifacts on, or around the eyes. 3. There is no spattering of the image around the eyes, as opposed to the rest of the body. 4. The lighting direction is contiguous throughout the entire image. 5. There is a mild glow around the creature from the glare of the light. 6. The chest of the creature is improperly lit for its angle. 7. There is an unrealistic crease in the left shoulder of the creature. Looks like fabric, not skin. 8. The creature is missing several highlight areas that would be there, considering the brightness and glare of the light on the right shoulder. 9. There are no genitals at all. 10. The glare on the right forearm abruptly stops where it would normally continue down onto the hand past the wrist for approx. 5/8 of an inch. 11. There is a section of the right hand (or where it should be) that is blended into the black box of text, showing that it is on top of it.
Conclusion: Fairly well done hoax visually, with terrible noob mistakes throughout that are not immediately obvious to the untrained eye. Lighting angle was taken into account, but not glare points. The left arm was moved too far for its construction, causing a crease in the shoulder. The eyes were added in after the image was taken, saved, doctored, saved again and resized. In fact, against the rest of the image, they are pristine, and even show the blur brush marks around their edges. They also show that the polygonal lasso tool was used to make the selections on a new layer to fill with white that was then blurred around its edges. The bottom and top of each eye glow was selected mostly straight and overly blurred to hide the mistake, instead of redoing the selection. Each eye selection was made in 8 segment clicks. Whatever was originally behind the eyes has been smudged downward and inward on both eyes in an apparent attempt to get it covered by the glow. This was done after the original image was saved, resized, the body added in, saved and re opened. Apparently the eyes were an after thought. The .jpg artifacts on the smudged areas around the eyes are also a different size, meaning that was changed after the fact too. The chest area that should have more lighting on it (according to the angle of the light in the scene) is completely flat, defying gravity. This means it is not living flesh, but fabricated, either with leather, fabric or taxidermy, natural or man made. it is not a living creature.
