holy crap!!!! thats insane and yes i would have deffinatley crapped my self or pissed myself if i didnt die there

i cant tell if it is real or not they would have had to get closer and stay there and died

[Nemesis]

That's pretty cool, but you I and both know, it's horseshit. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif

[DiscoDead]

Well How the hell would they of faked that? The thing Looks Completly Decomposed and its Lieing in the Middle of The forest. It would take Alot of Makeup Work to Make something look like that, If you pause it you can see its Ribs and it has Something in its Mouth...

What about this one? *Warning Dont watch with your Lights off...* www.bartonmansion.com


Ok, Using my skills of the source coding for video sites, I got the link to the footage and made some stopframes, i shall now proceed to analyse them;


http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/GibbonByte/Zombie01.jpg

Firstly, look at the arm, it is all shrunken and thin, if you have ever seen a photo of a holocaust victim, it is shockingly similar, this could be due to a lack of proper nutrition, or! the decay of undeath?

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/GibbonByte/Zombie04.jpg

Second, look at the nose, it appears flattened (this could be due to video quality however) but nevertheless, if anyone has seen a human skull, you will notice the gaping hole in the centre were the cartilage has rotten away before the bones, this is due to the mineral compounds within bone marrow that preserve it (a feature catilage lacks) if this person was truely 'undead' then this is one of the areas that would decompose at a faster rate than other areas of the body, hence the look of a 'hollow' skull like facial feature were the nose would be expected to be. I do fully akknowledge that this isnt exactly dvd quality and im just specualitng, this is just a theory!

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g268/GibbonByte/Zombie02.jpg

Lastly, those haunting eyes...
Also note how the mouth appears to be fully open, this could be because the person, or thing, was in shock at their discovery by the men.

I've seen that one, more of a ghost than a zombie, though. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif

What if this is a Warning? You all Talk about Zombies Coming and This might be Evidence... You never know,It might all Begin Soon Or It could be a fake...

Thank you for mentioning decomposition. That right there shoots down the idea of this being a "zombie". In external decomoposition, the eyes collapse within a few days. There'd be no way that you'd get a reflection from the eyes.

The only part of this video that raises any questions is how skinny the subject's arm is. Then again, all you have to do is look at a picture of Nicole Ritchie to understand how common that is...:)

Plus, this video has been around for a few years.

[zombiekilling101]

The videos pretty cool. Someone suggested it was a hobo in the woods:lol:

[chewy]

You never know,It might all Begin Soon Or It could be a fake...

So by judicious use of Occam's razor, I'll say that it's a fake. After all, what's more likely? Some kids messing around with SFX and a night-vision camera, or the dead having risen in violation of all the basic tenets of biology?

[balancedragon]

u never know it could be real. It never hurt to be prepared u know.

[Morbidfilm]

I would have shit myself if I came along someone in the woods like that.

I know, a little offtopic. - Especially in this thread but have any of you guys noticed how CJ looks like the biker from the village people? :lol:
Y M C A!

Anyway, My 2 cents on that video says creative Sfx. :) Sorry, but I just don't believe that whatever that thing was is real.

In other news:
I'm not a man of religion but a man of science. I know people argue over this day & night, but when someone is dead. All of their organs stop, muscles die. nerves are shot. (Including the brain)

So technically a zombie outbreak isn't ever going to happen without the aid of man & If It did happen I wouldn't call it a zombie outbreak - It'd most likely be a Rage epedemic / crisis.

[AN OLD SHOE]

not exactly the brain will still function for 1 full minute after death so if you were to get your head cut off and i yelled your name you would respond by looking at me etc. for a minute

and btw nice sig :) ^

It doesn't even have to be that complicated. Human eyes shine under nightvision and gray face make up applied unevenly can give a decaying view.

[levi]

my first thought was paris hilton. second thought it looks and sounds very similear to that ghost tape that was making the rounds on the web about a year ago. night vision camera, a girl sitting in a cemetery, she turns and looks at them (the camera people) and they run away.

[lizardman464]

It's fake, someone posted this a while back on another forum claiming it was a chupacabra. I'm pretty sure the people who made it admitted it was fake too...or something.

...

It's obviously fake!

[dead and loving it]

i watched the video and didnt see a thing just darkness!

Same here.

Your display must be too dark. You need to turn the brightness up on your monitor or video card.

[Zombie Survivor]

It looks creepy and awesome, but it's NOT a real zombie. Gotta give compliments to the creators though...

[RyanCardillo]

Dude i didn't see any thing...I only saw tall grass.....

that was friggin awesome, im gonna believe cause im hard headed, im gonna send it to some friends, haha.

"Yes, as well as a realistic possibility." ;-)

'Anorexia' combined with a 'Flesh-Eating Virus'."

im gonna have to look this one up!

[Dr. Foster]

As a general rule, I don't trust anything shot in night-vision. especially when you can see the camera's light. If this was shot in regular-vision, and the light shined right on the "zombie" then I'd be way more apt to believe it.

[Darkness]

im gonna have to look this one up!

"I don't know if the combination actually exist. I was just pondering what it would look like if someone was inflicted with both at the same time. I think it would look a lot like the dude in the video." ;-)

well i managed to get something on the anorexia but couldn't find much about the flesh eating virus thing.

"Back to the topic......I think it could have been a very sick person they ran across. If you think about it, the world is full of diseases, and stuff, that will ravage the body like that."

A person with No Nose and No Eyebrows Lieing in the Middle of a forest? How did he get there? What disease does it have? Its Unexplained Its too Dark and Too Sketchy to see what it is. I guess you'd have to be there to See it for your selves.

Has anyone considered leprosy for this poor fella's condition? It's still a decent threat in underdevloped areas. Let's consider these people filming accidental stumbled on a leper out in the woods. It's just a thought and it would explain the loss of a nose and the general corpse like look if it was an extreme case.
"Leprosy is characterized by multiple lesions accompanied by sensory loss in the affected areas. Usually, sensory loss begins in the extremities (toes, fingertips). In many advanced cases, gangrene sets in, causing parts of the body to "die" (necrosis) and become deformed." - tesarta.com

ya ever hear of something called photoshop? still pretty kewl though

[MrShape666]

Well, if it is real, better be prepared.

Make sure you're town's up to date and ready for a zombie attack. Look at what we've seen so far: Pittsburgh, brought down in about a week. Racoon City, overrun and eaten in less then 24 hours.

So make sure this doesn't happen to you. Go to your local town and city council meetings and scream at the top of your lungs: "To hell with the new parking legislation! What about the zombies? WHAT ABOUT THE ZOMBIES?"

Don't mention my name.

Could have been a Chupacabra.:lol:
Seriously though, For all you supporters, ask yourself this...
Just what in the hell were two dudes tromping through the woods w/ a video camera for? This type of activity just doesn't quite make my top 10 list for "fun things to do on a Saturday night".
The whole thing seems staged to me.
Besides, if this was a honest to gravy zombie, then wouldn't there have been an outbreak by now?

First thing that came to my mind: Hey, this is a lot like that first zombie cinematic scene in the first Resident Evil game. (The zombie is chewing on someone, then stops and looks over his shoulder at your character.)

we dont have local town and city council meetings this village tends to lack anything that seems alive!

it may also seem like the zombies have already arrived! so to hell with the council meeting lets go out and get bitten! Scotland should be swarming within a few weeks.

We have established that... And yes we all have.

The videos pretty cool. Someone suggested it was a hobo in the woods:lol:

I'd figure that first as a possibility, especially since I've seen some homeless who've been out there for a while and do have signs of losing parts due to frostbite and whathaveya.

I do have to say this reminds me greatly of the one footage where it's spanish guys coming across a ghostly woman in a cemetary where her eyes glow in the same manner.

[MrShape666]

I still think it's Paris Hilton: Scrawny, emaciated, ribs and bones visible, it could be her.

[mr backwards]

Ah! that mansion one is quite scary.

I guess I'm not sleepin tonight.

[mr backwards]

still, i guess if you can make this

then that's just as logically faked

So where does it say zombies have to be emaciated? Check out the ones in DOTD '78. Or that lady in the remake. They were creepy in their own way.

[Captain Hawk]

Convenient that they were carrying a camera and flashlight and filming in the woods anyway.

looks good though, I'll give them that.

[Meganube]

well this might be a good concept , "people(thing+other person)" "trapped" in the "woods" for days, one is obese the other is normal weight his mucsle mass begins to deterierate,for the thin almost bone person that man would be looking pretty tasty so when they stop for a break, the skinny one finds some type of blunt or sharp object and kills the obese one, he begins to eat him, those two camera people come by find the man eating he gets surprised and craves more food, thats just an idea but still thing freaked me out alot xD

why doesn't the skinny man bring a leg with him and try and escape the woods?

[ilovetotravel]

I couldn't view the video because of my slow connection, but even seeing just one of the photos totally creeped me out

It could be that nightvision style lighting, but still, very creepy:cry:

[ilovetotravel]

I just watched the video and while it does look scary---it can also be a genuine fake------the night vision, etc. masks a lot of hidden special effects

the creature looks a lot like either an alien, or that monster from the movie about the odd writer......I can't remember his name, but he dreampt his typewriter was a huge bug. the name escapes me at the moment.

[headshotscrazy]

Looks like the dudes from HL2

[ethacron]

i just watched it and i KNOW its fake (sry if this has allready been said; just my 2 cents)but it's eyes had a glare to them when it sat up, which means it's eyes have moisture and therefore it must be alive, if it was dead and that far into decomp than it's eyes would have deffently dried out and gotten glassy like all other zombie eyes are.

[GenPirate]

It just so happens to be at night when the quality isnt gonna be the best :/
