Was a Goblin-Like Creature Captured on Camera in Rural China?

A hairless, ugly humanoid, a lot like Gollum, was spotted by a spring a few days ago, causing quite a stir in the People’s Republic of China.

Story goes that a hiker stumbled upon this being while camping in Huairou, near the Great Wall of China.

Considering the quality of the image, i.e. the complete lack of Bigfoot’s defensive blurriness, suggests this could change the face of cryptozoology… or it’s a well-done hoax.

Brace yourself to be disappointed, it’s part of a publicity shoot for a science fiction short.¹ Whether this is one of those photos, or someone honestly believed they were making history remains up in the air.
