Night Ops Tactical Green Swamp

Halloween is the perfect time of year to kick start the Skunk Ape season in Florida. It is the beginning of the cool weather and it's migratory season for the cryptids. Our best evidence has consistently been found in the Fall and Spring migratory range. Go to www.enigmaticanomalies.com and www.floridabigfootinvestigators.com for more info. Kevin Thomas Kehl produced and edited the TV version of this. He did a great job and check out his sites.

Headed for the swamp for Bigfoot hunt

I had a chance to work with Dave Lauer and Stacey Brown Jr, and others on a special edition Bigfoot investigation. There were eight guys going. Some I have worked with before. The area was an enchanted old Indian tribal area. So I knew it was going to be a great weekend.


This is the lady that oversees the site. She is pointing out to Stacey where we are to go. The sun was setting and I was stoked. More later.

The Skunk Ape legend in Florida

Some say it lurks in the steamy, gloppy muck near the Myakka River. It’s big, they say. Hairy, too. And it stinks to high heaven. Count Myakka City resident Mike Falconer among those who are convinced that Sarasota and Manatee counties are home to one of the fiercest — most pungent — figures in Florida folklore: the skunk ape.

More than a dozen skunk ape sightings were reported here between the 1960s and 1980s, prompting a state legislator to sponsor a bill to protect the animal. Even though scientists and wildlife experts long ago concluded that the skunk ape was a figment of human imagination, the legend refuses to die — and thanks to the Web, the mysterious creature may be getting more attention than ever.

Falconer’s video purporting to show a skunk ape roaming through Myakka River State Park has garnered nearly 110,000 views on YouTube. Bigfoot experts came to his door from across the country seeking clues.

The Florida Bigfoot hunt

Tim Fasano and Rob Robinson

I have always wanted to work with Florida's Rob Robinson. Rob is a Bigfoot researcher who has written a book on the subject, and has recently been featured on the History Channel on Monsters and Mysteries. I finally got my chance Saturday as Kevin, Rob, and I met at the trail head to BlackWater creek. It was a warm morning, being the day after the Forth of July. I had taken the day off from work and I was ready for a great day 'squatching.

Rob pulled up and we introduced each other. Kevin showed up on time and we went over the objective of the mission. The main goal was to make the four mile hike out the to creek without much shade. We knew it was going to be hot, so we set out just after the sun rose on a beautiful day.

Rob and Kevin headed out with the Florida sun rising

&Florida sunThere was some obstacles to cross. There has been a lot of rain and some of the trails were underwater. There was no choice but to cross or go back.

When we made it to the creek, we found someone else's trail cam out there. That is why I decided to not put the trail cam there. I felt there was too much risk of it being found. We found their's; they may find ours.

The creek was beautiful and had a rapid current. In fact, it travels to the Hillsborough River Rapids. Kevin believes canoeing is the best way to get to a remote area to camp and deploy the trail cams. That would be a fun trip. Not to many people go back there.

The hike had no elevation but it was hot from the direct Florida sun on a July day. Kevin and Rob are experienced hikers and I needed them to gin me up for the trip. I could not have been with better guys. Bigfoot research requires a lot of work. You can see how far off the horizon is. Getting back was going to be tougher.


We were trying to get to the next tree line to deploy the trail cam but I was getting tired. I could not wait for the next tree line. I was overheated and needed to rest. In route Kevin found a rain measurement device put there by the forestry department. It showed there had been 2 inches of rain recently.



I am cramping because I did not bring enough water. Rob lent me some and that helped. At this point, I forget about the trail cam and just wanted to get back to the trailhead. The rest felt good. I could have camped there.



Back at the trailhead with some great guys.



OUTTAKE - Kevin with the hawk feather in his head dress. He may have found a new look. This was absolutely a great day, one of the best I've had in Bigfoot.

Do animals make crop circles?

This is very neat and surround by hay on the forest floor. Strange.

We have all seen crop circles. So, what did this on a small scale? I know you will say squirrels did this but I don't buy it. If  Todd Standing can go on Survivor Bigfoot and claim every tree break caused by brutal weather in Canada is a Bigfoot, then I'm claiming this is Bigfoot. That is how the game works folks.

This is the area I was in with George

There was much going on that night. We were on our way to find a system of caves. It was getting dark and we were under time pressure. When we got out on the trail, I found what looked like the thing above. Then, further down, I found what looked like a print. There was a forest road in the distance and a white pickup truck was seen driving by out truck. Then, it came back. Security on many fronts was now a concern.
 

A day in the wilderness searching for Skunk Ape

Kevin and I took advantage of a an excellent day in Florida and went hiking in the Starkey wildlife area in Pasco county. This amazing place is 30,000 acres of wild land surrounded by civilization. Many people don't even know its there. For those that do, it offers a real chance to see what Florida looked like centuries before developers entered this area.

The lake behind Kevin's house. You can see how beautiful the day was.

It was only a short drive from Kevin's house to find our way to this place. Immediately upon entering, we could see a deer right up by the front. Kevin says the park is infested with deer. In fact, one of his crew members heard from a cab driver, of all people, that the wildlife commission was authorizing a deer hunt because the Bigfoot population was growing and deer were drawing them in. How about that!

A deer in the distance

Our goal for the day was to make our way back to a wild river which is a watershed for it. We drove several miles into the park to get as close as we could. We still had a difficult hike in front of use but it was worth the time and effort to do this.  The conditions we encountered heading back there were not ideal. The area became very muddy and swampy, and this is the dry time of year. We knew we were in an old growth area because of the size of some of the oak trees we found along the way. We shot a video at this spot and I laughed about finding something that was wider then me. At his point, a lady hiker with a backpack walked up from behind of Kevin and almost scared him to death. The photos here show just how big and old these trees are.

We finally got out to the rivers edge. It was a smelly and bug infested area. I don't even think Skunk Ape wants to hang out here. Even with the mud, there were no prints. Not even anything we could play up as a print. Not many come out here, but if they did, they were wearing boots. Speaking about boots, I was sinking into the mud to my ankles. Kevin did manage to maneuver on logs. In fact, he was considering tight rope walking across, but considered otherwise.

Along the waters edge

Kevin thinking about crossing

We did find another trail that led us to an even larger expanse of the River. However, it crossed through an old settlers land. You could see what was left of an old barn door (I think). Someone had put a stop sign up but was of no use. Hikers before us had knocked the thing down and went in anyway.

Lots of roots on this path to make it slow going

The sun was getting ready to set and we had to get back to the car. Overall, the day was a success. The air was cool and the bugs were somewhat under control. They will not be in a few months and it was important to get to this area now.

DNA shows new type of human..Bigfoot?...Alien?

The DNA results on these skulls could shake the underpinnings of established science. Kevin and Teri (close friends of mine) did a great job on this video. They are taking their channel to dizzying heights.

Stacy Brown jr (winner of Spike TV Bigfoot Bounty) finds Skunk Ape prints

Something with a 15 inch foot walked into the water and out the other side. Consider this was the location of a sighting that was video taped, I believe the Bigfoot left them behind. This is Stacy Brown Jr, the world champ of Sasquatch hunting. It was a lot of fun working with Stacy, Dave, and their team.

Rick Dyer on a media blitz for his Bigfoot body

Rick Dyer is sticking with his claim of having the Bigfoot body. The world media is eating this up...again. Dyer was involved in the 2008 Georgia Bigfoot hoax and he is now back on top again. I suspect it will be like the Minnesota Iceman that people will pay to see but it will have no scientific value.

A fuel log on the fire

The sun was setting in the Green Swamp as I arrived. Before you can do Bigfoot stuff, you must perform the maintenance if the camp. This meant finding firewood for it was going to be cold tonight. That was fine for we had our night optics and were ready. This was going to be fun.

The Skunk Ape howls video

I recorded these howls in a state controlled watershed at night. This was the same area I offered to take Matt Moneymaker into on this same date three months ago ( I never heard from him). He would now have great howls for his show. It was the beginning of migration season and the permanent population wad getting excited about their friends return. I recorded several on this video.

Bigfoot sighting Ocala National Forest

OBSERVED: I was out trail riding in a remote part of the Ocala National Forest when I became stuck in a mud hole. I was out there for several hours waiting for someone to come pull me out. What got my attention first was the sound of someone hitting something against a tree which striked me as odd considering where I was at and I didn't hear any other vehicles prior to the knock so I proceeded to approach the sounds after walking about 300 yards away from my vehicle I saw what I thought was a huge man in a ghillie suit striking a pine tree with a large stick as I got closer I realized it was not a man but a huge creature that I will never forget as long as I live. It had a huge chest probably 60in. across and though it was in a slumped standing position it had to be 8 feet tall with long muscular arms and long chest and mid section like its legs were shorter than chest area. As I was trying slowly to back away to get back to my truck I stepped on a stick and it immediately turned to look at me using its whole body to do so and then it ran off caring stick in a graceful stride through the woods.

Rare summer time Bigfoot expedition in the Green Swamp

It is extremely rare to have favorable conditions for the swamps this time of year. Kevin remarks about the lack of bugs. That was the one thing that made this tolerable.I was very happy about being in the swamp this time of year. The Tampa area was underwater from storms and we had a clear sky with a full moon, and no bugs. Cool.

Bigfoot expedition into the Great Green Swamp of Florida

I am very tired but I have a lot of stuff that made this trip very special. Everything went right. The weather and the bugs cooperated and we made it to Skunk Ape Mountain. I will soon upload all the video. We hide nothing.

Largest Bigfoot trackway ever found

Tractor pull by Florida wildlife commission

An area in the Green Swamp that we have been working for three years has yielded fantastic results. The Florida Wildlife and Game Commission will often drag line with a tractor to till earth for the purpose of recording animal prints. This way they can get an estimate of local animal populations. This time, they may have gotten more they thought. They may have captured Bigfoot prints.

A research group Enigmatic Anomalies has formed a TV company. They followed my lead and went into a specific area and found the mother load. There were adult and child prints that stretched for about 1,500 feet. I have never heard of such a find.

This discover will be featured in an upcoming pilot for a cable TV series about paranormal activity.

This production company will be featuring me on the segment that deals with the Florida Skunk Ape. I am very excited about the things that are going down right no. We will do our first shoot Tuesday in the field just before sunrise and Thursday in a studio interview shoot. This will take place in a very spooky studio at night in an old Tampa Cigar Factory to the set the right mood. It is said these old buildings are haunted.

Minnesota Iceman to be on public display

In the 1960's the Minnesota Iceman was seen at mall's around the country. It has not been seen until now. On July 3, the icemam will be on display in Austin Texas.

The Bigfoot creature was supposedly shot in Minnesota and has remained frozen since. Word is two Smithsonian scientists examined the beast and said it was latex. That kind of reminds me of the Georgia hoax 2008.

To bad Rick Dyer has not put his Bigfoot on public display. At least people would be able to see it.
