Definition
The term "blobsquatch" refers to any vaguely bigfoot-shaped mass seen (or not) in an otherwise unremarkable photograph of trees. A small minority of people on the fringes of bigfoot research regularly produce photographs of what they claim is a bigfoot. These figures are often highlighted by the advocate of the photograph by drawing a red circle or a shape around what is supposed to be seen. It is widely acknowledged that, even if a blobsquatch photo contained an actual hard-to-see bigfoot, its worth would be questionable since it would not display a clear photograph of a recognizable animal.
Origin
The term was coined on the Bigfoot Forums on 12 February 2003 in a private message sent from Vito Quaranta of Washington state to Brian Brown, the site's owner. Since then, the term has appeared in other bigfoot-related websites and publications as well as gaining wide-spread use on the forum itself. Its first "public" use was in a presentation by Alton Higgins at the September 2003 International Bigfoot Symposium in Willow Creek, CA, regarding the evaluation of photographic evidence.
