Trailcam Image Of Bigfoot?

Scott Carpenter sent me this lame photo. I have no idea where he found it but he believes it is an obvious hoax with a fake mask. I noticed the rather thin body for a sasquatch. He needs to eat more beef jerky.

Florida Wild Monkeys

Some believe these are the decedents of the monkeys from the Tarzan movies that were filmed near Silver Springs.

Larry Battson To Discuse Bigfoot Theories

Larry Battson believes there is evidence that Bigfoot is more than a character in a beef jerky commercial.

Battson -- a wildlife educator and founder of Wildlife Educational Services -- will talk about Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the auditorium at New Castle, Indiana-Henry County Public Library, 376 S. 15th St.
During the free program, Battson will discuss the "real possibility of a rare and relatively unknown creature that may roam the forests of North America," according to a press release.

Is Bigfoot really some type of human-like creature? Battson has been studying Bigfoot for 30 years and travels the country to research the alleged sightings. Recently Battson was featured by History Channel’s MonsterQuest. Battson and his wife Cheryl operate the Wildlife Educational Services in Greencastle, Indiana.

Ocala National Forest

The Ocala National Forest is a 430,000 acre preserve. It was the first National forest east of the Mississippi River and is the furthest most southern National Forest. It is also one of the best areas in the country for Bigfoot sightings. That is why this area has been on my radar for months. I have just been waiting for the weather to cool down.

I recently spent a weekend in the area and got a lot of footage to put on my YouTube account. I am in the process of editing the videos. I got some great nature photos, that made it worth the trip. Unfortunately, I did not have a Bigfoot sighting. That would not have been strange for the first time coming up here.

I have scouted out many primitive camping areas and will be taking some overnights deep into the forest in the coming months. Some exciting things are planed. I hope to have some positive evidence by March. But you never know.

The Ocala Forest is a beautiful, and adventurous place. I can't believe that it has taken me this long to get up here.

An Image In Swifmud Area

Now that Hurricane Ida has left after dumping rain on the Florida Penninsula for the last eight days, I was able to get back out into the field. I went back to the swifmud area, and believe I found a river bank of one of the 'seventeen runs' of the Hillsborough River. I saw some interesting shapes in the images I took. Could be a Blobsquatch.

It looks like a pair of eyes to me. I did know this out there until I loaded in my computer and took a look.

This Is What Gets Me

This image was taken in Dauphin County, Pa. by a thru hiker of the Appalachian trail and it is supposed to show Bigfoot. The outline of it is caused by branches on the tree. This is a BLOBSQUATCH. That is all it is. It is not even a GOOD Blobsquatch.

Tom Biscardi got involved somehow, Oregon Bigfoot.com mentions it in a post. “This is raw footage,” says Biscardi. “This is the real deal. You’ve got to understand, I’ve been doing this for 36 years, and this is the ultimate – to finally come across one of these beasts. And here it is roaming up in these mountains.” Based on this screen shot image? Ok... I quess you have a full video that no doubt shows the real bigfoot. Let me guess...Nothing will be forthcoming. It is just a Blobsquatch.

Even Abovetopsecret.com has gotten involved and a major board post has developed about this.

However, my image goes unnoticed. Take a look at my image here. It is a little more impressive than the other one. I took it in a very remote area. Tom Biscardi contact me and I will take you into this area where Bigfoot really is at. We will find him. Just bring your 'guns' and 'gear.'

My image, along with a video, is clear and of high quality. I don't think it can be readily debunked. It does not fit the classic definition of a "Blobsquatch."

"Blobsquatch" is specifically the object in a photograph of a supposed Bigfoot
or Sasquatch that has a lack of definition and detail, an illusion created by a
play of light within an often unfamiliar natural environment. It is literally a
"blob" (an indistinct shapeless form) that may or may not, but probably is not,
a Sasquatch."

I should be like Biscardi and go to the media. I have tons of media contacts. That would not be a problem. I was hoping interest would come from the Bigfoot community and the blogosphere. Perhaps I thought wrong. That is why I posted that rant that I took down off of YouTube because I only wanted someone to take a look at this. They only seem to be interested in this lame-ass image capture. Here is the video

Bigfoot Footprints Found In Ocala National Forest

This Bigfoot track was found in the Ocala National Forest in 1985. It was found by a Lake County Deputy Sgt. D. Kirby. This Deputy had found several other tracks during this period. The location was near a Federal construction site working on new forestry roads. The trakcs were 17 by 6 1/2 inches. It was once believed that the Florida Skunk Ape was a smaller version of the Bigfoot. It seems from this cast and footprints that I have found, that the Canadian Sasquatch may indeed be in Florida. This is a copy of the old newspaper report.

It is because of the historical nature of skunk ape sightings in Florida near the Ocala National Forest that I will be focusing much of my expeditions in the next few months.

Tropical Storm Ida Making Conditions Windy

A rare November Hurricane Ida is making its way toward the Florida West Coast. The eye of the storm will hit around the panhandle area and causing 20-30 mph winds in the Tampa area. We should get much needed rain in the next 72 hours. The good news is that by Friday the high temperature in West Central Florida will only be about 71 with the low around 50. Now how cool is that! With the clear sky's, that should be perfect weather to get out on an expedition. Can't wait.

Dave Shealy

Dave Shealy has spent nearly his whole life looking for the Florida Skunk Ape or the Florida Bigfoot, believed by many, to be only a figment of his imagination.

You know him from his appearances on national television; Discovery Channel, Travel, Channel, TLC, Unsolved Mysteries, The Daily Show, The Pulse, Inside Edition, and you have read about his adventures in the Enquirer, The Sun, Miami NewTimes, and Readers Digest.

Dave spends most of his time in the Big Cypress Swamp searching for the Skunk Ape when he's not maintaining the Trail Lakes Campground.

He once tried to form an expidition to find and "bag' the skunk ape. Financing for that fell thru. At least one guy in Florida has the right idea. We are at the point that we need a body in a research lab for total proof.

Dave Shealy owns and runs the Skunk Ape museum and the Trail Lakes Campground in Ochopee, Florida. The Skunk Ape Museum and Research Headquarters is open to the public 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm. You can purchase Skunk Ape memorabilia along with blow guns, knives and alligator heads at the Headquarters Store or on line. The Headquarters also features a Reptile & Bird Exhibit of huge gators, constrictors and a variety of exotic birds. Admission is $3 per person

"LIfe's Fine But It t'aint easy" - Ocala National Forest and Bigfoot

I saw this Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman Movie, The Yearling when I was a kid. I know now that the young deer in the movie and novel was a metaphor for the childlike state that wants to believe that life is all sunshine and rainbows. Nothing is further from the truth. Gregory Peck wanted to protect Jody from this knowledge, even though, they were the original homesteaders in the Ocala National Forest of Florida called "the big scrub." It also is one of the busiest areas for BFRO reported Bigfoot sightngs. I plan to go to the "Yearling trail" by this weekend and visit the old homestead and graveyard. I may see deer, I want to see Bigfoot. This movie gets to me man..it gets to me.

Who Is Tom Biscardi?

On the heals of the success that Billy Willard and the Virginia Sasquatch Research Organization had late October in West Virginia, Tom Biscardi is now going in this week to continue filming a documentary he is producing named after his company-"Searching For Bigfoot."

Wasn't Biscardi involved in the Georgia Bigfoot hoax? I remember seeing him on Fox Cable News. He claimed he got beat out of thousands by two law enforcement guys who had a frozen rug and a Halloween costume in a freezer. Biscardi claimed to have examined it while frozen and was fooled. Hum?

The Florida Trail 1,300 Miles Of Paradise

I am working on a plan that will put me on the Florida trail at the half-way point in the Green Swamp of Polk county and up into the Panhandle. It would take me about 8 weeks to walk this trail and do all of the photography and 'squatching that I need to do. Camping out at night isolated scores of miles from civilization would be a golden opportunity that as a Bigfoot researcher I cannot pass up. I plan to start on February 15, 2010. I hope. Tampa Tribune reporter Mike Dewitt said it all when he walked the Florida Trail in 2007, "Florida's soul is on this trail."

Tales From The Florida Trail

I hit the Florida Trail over the weekend. I went to a remote part near the Withlacoochee River south of the Ocala National Forest. It was very quit and I saw lots of wildlife. I did pick up something that may have been a black bear or a tree stump. It seemed to be sitting on a creek bank. I found a primitive camp site and lit a camp fire! I have not seen a camp fire in years, and that made the trip worth it. I got some great images and lots of video that I am still looking at.

The Florida trail is 1,100 miles long and stretches from south of Miami all the way up to the Panhandle of Florida near the Alabama border. It cuts thru the rich Eco-system that is unique to Florida and into the most remote parts of the North American Continent. That is where a Large mammal could hide and live without ever being spotted. That is why I went to this location. I had a great time.

When I went to sign in at the trail head, this green tree frog was sitting on the clip board. I did not want to bother him, so I went ahead anyway.

51 Seconds Of Bigfoot?

Compare this photo I shot from the same spot after I took this 51 second video of something very large standing in a clearing and turning side to side. I don't know what it was. It was at least 200 yards away and could only be seen barely with a 400 mm lense. You will have to make up your own mind on this.

This was taken in the SWIFMUD area North of Tampa Florida where I had taken the "blobsquatch" image after the water levels receded.

This was late in the day after I had filmed video for over a couple of hours. Something caught my eye from a considerable distance. This is not easy. I shot the film and I am still not sure what I am looking at. When I went to photo mode on my camera, the thing no longer seemed to be there.

Bigfoot Footprint Found Again In SWIFMUD Area Florida

In the SWIFMUD area that Ihave been concentrating on for the last two weeks, I have found my second series of Bigfoot Footprints. I call them the Florida Bigfoot because I simply don't know what type of creature could have left them, and who would have had such a bigfoot and been walking around out here barefoot. That would stretch the imagination to believe that.

This one was found when I was visiting the area again and aproaching where I took the "Fasano Photo" of the object that was walking away from me as I arived on October 13. The structure looks interesting but I am not sure if it was before. I don't think so. The weather in Florida for the last couple weeks has been hot with a high preasure system hovering over the State. That means no storms or rain that could have caused such damage.

This area was very simular to the Watershed area that Paul Freeman worked for in Washington State. The Green Swamp SWIFMUD area that I found these prints in has periods of low and high water. The low water will yield prints of the Sasquath that is out there. Freeman exploited that fact, so did I.

Virginia Bigfoot Hunters Look For Creature In Dolly Sods Area

A Virginia-based team of Bigfoot enthusiasts is hoping to find the legendary creature in the bogs and trees of West Virginia's Dolly Sods Wilderness Area.

Members of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia are camping out with GPS navigators, cameras, voice recorders and plaster of Paris to make casts of huge footprints.

Billy Willard, founder of the group, says they often look for Bigfoot in places where there have been sightings.

But Bruce Harrington, the group's skeptic, says he has yet to see convincing proof that a creature like Sasquatch exists.

Last year, a different group of Bigfoot researchers searched unsuccessfully for the creature in the Greenbrier River region.

On a cool but sunny October day, Dolly Sods is beautiful. The sun shines through the trees and off the endless boulder fields.

But in its endless wilderness, Dolly Sods is a little bit spooky, too. It’s a still, quiet place. And according to Willard, it’s a great place to search for Sasquatch.

“Typically we go out and visit sites where there’s been previous sighting reports,” Willard said. “We do get encounters called in to a hotline that we have, and we go out and we’ll research those areas looking for evidence such as footprints, strange stick tree structures and that kind of thing.”

Willard is the founder of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia, a group made up of Bigfoot enthusiasts who collect information about the legendary being in their spare time.

They’re camping out in Dolly Sods, traipsing around in the wilderness area’s forests and bogs looking for signs of Sasquatch.

“As large as they claim this creature is, it’s got to have some weight to it. And if it’s walking around out here, it’s going to leave a footprint,” Willard says.

He finds something he thinks resembles a Sasquatch print in the bog, deep in the mud.

“It could be a small track right there,” he said. “We’ve got a track right here, not as big as the other one we saw over there. And again, it’s old, you can tell it’s been here since the rain. But that might actually be cast-able. There might be some toe impressions in there.”

He pulls out some plaster of Paris and makes a cast.

Some of the members of Sasquatch Watch of Virginia have actually had a sighting—where they’ve come face-to-face with a creature they believe is a Bigfoot. But even those who haven’t believe the creature exists.

Bruce Harrington is the self-described skeptic of the group.

“I think one of the biggest arguments that people have against the existence of Bigfoot is there hasn’t been any proof,” Harrington said. “From a logical standpoint, absence of proof is not proof of absence. So just because we don’t have the proof that these creatures exist doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

The men—and the group is made up solely of men—have an impressive amount of gear with them. They pull out GPS navigators, trail cameras, regular cameras, voice recorders and evidence bags.

The latter is used when a team member finds suspicious droppings. Into the bag it goes, to be sent off to a lab for testing.

Everybody has their own theories about what kind of creature Sasquatch is. Though he’s been hunting for years, Willard has never had a sighting.

“I could accept that this thing is human, whether it’s an undiscovered Native American tribe of people, I could accept that this is some kind of North American ape that just simple hasn’t been documented yet,” he said. “Those are the two main theories.

“Now you have some more out there theories, like these things are aliens and came off a UFO. That they go through dimensions and can walk through different portals. I think this thing’s flesh and blood, whether it’s human or more ape.”

Though their weekend in Dolly Sods didn’t lead to any sightings, Sasquatch Watch of Virginia is still looking for proof. They say it’s out there.

Bigfoot Patterson Film Analysed

The face is the detail that can now be examined in a laboritory. Computer enhancement shows that it was real or an enormous undertaking for two California Cowboy's Patterson and Gimlin

The Yamarone Brothers And Bigfoot Songs

I have to admit, I am late to this genre of music. This stuff is cool and Tom Yamarone and his brother have a CD out of bigfoot songs and they keep up a really cool website blog bigfootsongs.com

They also go out looking for bigfoot in Northern California and have run into bears in the early morning. This video shows how easy it is to scare off a black bear. I hope it is that easy if I ever run into a black bear in Florida.

Does This Video Show The Florida Bigfoot?

The object seems to be moving around in the center of the screen. This was a video taken right after I Photographed the blobsquatch photo in the SWIFMUD area in Central Florida.

New Blobsquatch Photos

Chuck007 works with the Big Dog himself Tim Stover in an attempt to use research and science to discover a formaly unknown North American primate. Chuck has put the photo I took in the Green Swamp Swifmud area last week on photoshop to help come to a better understanding. He only had one image to work with. I hope these additonal 2 megapixel images help. Anyone is free to click them and study them. My hope my integrtiy is sound on this one. CLICK IMAGE TO GET LARGE IMAGE

Gators and Gunshots

I thought you might like this non Bigfoot video shot in an autumn day in the Green Swamp of central Flroda.

Autumn Hits Florida

Autumn is sort of in Florida. Some of the leaves have turned colors and daytime lows are now in the low '70's. Big deal right. For us, it is a welcome relief from the extreme heat and humidity we have had for the last seven months.

This is always my favorite time of year. I can now get out on expeditions and do overnight camping without the bugs eating me alive.

Is This The Blobsquatch?

There are posters on YouTube that think my skunk ape was really the moss on the second tree shot in different lighting conditions...The lighitng has been the same for the last 10 days in Florida, and I have been in field at the same time each time I was there.

The white tree with the black spots is to the left almost off the image. When you consider how thick and how much space my "blobsquatch" took up, I don't know how this could be it.

The poster at first thought it might be a "stump" and ordered me to go find it. Now that there is no stump, he thinks it is the tree with moss. Since it is unlikely to be the tree, I guess it will now be a UFO or something.

Prime Bigfoot Sighting Areas

This is a video that I made about 3 minutes before I had the sighing below. I was showing why Florida was a good place to look for the sasquatch primate.

Best Evidence For The Florida Skunk Ape
