That was a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson himself...
Yeah, that’s the government’s explanation...

Damn.... That's one hell of a mugReports say that the Wicked Witch of the West witnessed it first hand.
It does look like a hanging person...but then the bird explanation makes me think it's a peacock sitting on something. It's long tail feathers could make up the "body" and they do have that crest on their heads.
Imagine seeing a silhouette of that in the distance.
This was before the flyweight division. Being a manlet was a curse. Now, you can be the king of Ireland.Your point?
You can clearly tell it's not touching the ground, though. And it's swinging back and forth like a person being hung from their neck would.
The story is that Ted brought in the cutout of himself and hung it from a noose to represent how dead inside he felt on this movieThat was a cardboard cutout of Ted Danson himself...
I'm sure we've all heard that one, right? That one of the munchkins in The Wizard Of Oz actually hung themselves and it was caught on tape? The explanation has always been that it was a crane bird spreading its wings, and if you watch the colorized version, that seems the logical explanation.
However, many are claiming that footage of the old VHS version tells a different story and that the bird may have been edited in in later versions. And if you compare the two, they seem to be right:
Newer Version:
Original VHS Version:
What do you think? There's clearly no bird visible in the original print and that definitely looks like a person (a fully grown one at that, most certainly not a munchkin) that's swinging back and forth from a noose. Even if we assume it isn't a live one, it still has the figure of one and MGM must have edited it over with a bird for some reason, right? It's an interesting find nonetheless.

First I've heard of it.
This is one conspiracy that is so wacky, I can't believe people bought into it.
So let me get this straight. Someone hung themselves on set. People on set would've known about it. They would've known the location, and that they possibly caught it on film. They watch the scene, notice the hanging, and...decide to leave it in the final cut?
Not even in the 30's.
there is a clear difference in the videos. one resembles a man swinging, presumably hanging from his neck and the other a bird walking around and unfolding its wings.
they must be two different videos or teo different takes because there is no way they had the technology back then to superimpose one or the other.
I meant when the movie first came out and you'll from my next post I also conceded that when it was released on VHS they did have the techThats not true. The technolgy to superimpose images on film absolutely was available. 100%.
That doesn't mean that this legend is true or not though.
