Tim Stover back in action

Tim Stover slowed down a lot the last couple of years. Things must be lining up for him to get back to full time Sasquatch hunting for I am seeing more videos from him. I am very glad about this on a personal level. Tim began Bigfoot hunting about six month before I did. This is why he is the original YouTube Bigfoot guy.

Unfortunately, YouTube has been taken over by hoaxers. In my opinion, the top 5 sites on YouTube are straight out hoaxers. Some are more subtle than others but they are all fakes. It was not that way when I started almost a decade ago. Tim brings back a lot of good memories for me.

Mark Zaskey and his hundreds of Bigfoot

Mark Zaskey makes extraordinary claims about dens of Bigfoot in Florida. Watch video

I am new to Mark Zaskey but the videos I have seen are full of him talking nonstop and zooming in on light and shadow in the bushes and telling us that its Bigfoot. I was waiting for his video to get moving, like heading into the woods. But all he does is just talk about what they found. I would like to see the live shots. Maybe they exist and I've just not found them yet.

His claims are not supported by anything

Forget about his over use of ads on his videos; forget about his disabling all ratings and comments; forget about disabling of embedding; he needs to back up this claim about area 4E (???). If he can't, he is a joke. I really won't say he's a hoaxer because I'm not really sure just what he's hoaxing. Perhaps its just like Mountain Monsters and he is just doing what the TV shows are doing.

That means we have moved into a new ethical era where all about ratings and hits. Just like the Clintons ethics....its all about what you can get away with and how you sell it. Simple.

Guys like Zaskey make Tom Biscardi and Rick Dyer look good.

The "Bigfoot Blues" campfire jam fest

This is Stevie Strings and Jeff Cook getting down at the Bigfoot expedition this weekend. For you folks that are armchair Bigfoot researchers, you don't know what you are missing. It was fun for all.

Tom Biscardi offers a $3 million dollar Bigfoot Project Investment

Startups are famous for setting big, hairy goals. Carmine “Tom” Biscardi wants to catch Sasquatch—and is planning an initial public offering to fund the hunt.

Mr. Biscardi and his partners hope to raise as much as $3 million by selling stock in Bigfoot Project Investments. They plan to spend the money making movies and selling DVDs, but are also budgeting $113,805 a year for expeditions to find the beast. Among the company’s goals, according to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission: “capture the creature known as Bigfoot.”

Investment advisers caution that this IPO may not be for everyone. For starters, it involves DVDs, a dying technology, said Kathy Boyle, president at Chapin Hill Advisors. Then there is the Sasquatch issue. She reckons only true believers would be interested in such a speculative venture.

“This would be the kind of thing where if you believed in Bigfoot, or you thought there really was a Bigfoot and you actually had some money to burn and wanted to play with this, then go for it,” Ms. Boyle said. A lot of ifs

Investigating a BFRO reported sighting area

A nature photographer reported a Bigfoot sighting near Tampa to the Florida BFRO. One of their field investigators did a followup. She believes its real and we went to the area based on the Google Earth skin of the sighting map. This area is the best wildlife area Kevin and I have ever been to. Game trails were everywhere and I suspect this is an ambush point. We will soon have covert trail cams up in this area. This is all part of "Florvanic" the land of the Skunk Apes. When they found out we were doing this, the BFRO removed me from their FaceBook ground and the field investigator removed the comment I had made on her video. Its nice that politics have nothing to do with research. Good grief.

Skunk Ape Captured in Florida

We have the body in the back of the truck

Our team has captured a Bigfoot body in Florida. The arial drone sending back HD video located an off trail anomaly. Enhanced images showed a primate form. It was on a forest road in the Green swamp not used for months because much of it is under water. George and I used the 4x4 to reach it. It was a non human primate dead of natural causes. Kevin hiked out and it took the three of us to load it in the truck. We only had two ice bags and went into town to get more. While George and I were shooting video - it moved its arm from under the tarp into the air (all photographed,) I saw evidence it was breathing again and seemed annoyed. Because of this development, we are going to release the video TODAY at 5:00pm. This is what you have been waiting for. Enjoy. No money will change hands. Sasquatch is not for sale. If you have any questions please contact me. My partners have families and lives and do not seek the spotlight.

Seven and a half feet long and several hundred pounds

Pretty cool image from the drone

We are getting more ice

At five today we will put up the video that will shock the world. You do not have to buy the DVD. You can see it  here when I put up the unlisted YouTube video before it goes live.

Why I think Bigfoot ancestral DNA is NOT HUMAN

This was recorded on the Enigmatic Anomalies TV show in an interview segment. I had an hour long sit down to explain my views on many Bigfoot topics. I know some of them are controversial, but I can back them up with logic. Face it, Bigfoot is not a tool maker, a fire maker, or an artist. These three things set us apart from all animals.

Bigfoot driving you kooky?

Keep drinking

The world of Bigfoot is at a tipping point. The new media has allowed anyone with an internet connection to join the fray, and be the "best Bigfoot researcher in the world." Competition is fierce to get hits, and subs, and all that stuff. It also seems you can make money at it. Dig it.

In the old days of Bigfoot, you worked alone. You could spend months without ever making contact with anyone else in the field. You would finally meet up with your kindred souls at a conference or something. These were the trailblazers of the Bigfoot world. Now, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogtalk Radio, can make you an overnight success. That is not bad in its own right. However, it does attract those who are not necessarily all about pure research. If the only witness to what you are doing is YOURSELF, then fudging can be employed. Cut your video at the point where you would be made, and now your egregiousness is never known to mankind. In time, you begin to notice something - videos that show something (a lot of something) get all the love. We all want to be loved, right?

A few years ago, nobody was doing research on YouTube. firstbillyjack, tcsjrbigfoot, fasanotampa came along, and now, the armchair guy could sit at home and get his daily fix of Bigfoot. They became very popular. They were not, how can we say, actually finding much. I mean, they tried their best. Blobs could be seen that may be a Bigfoot. But that was alright. There was no Adsense and they were not hurting anyone. Then, THE CHAMP appeared. Timbergiantbigfoot would take this concept to an unimaginable height.

His knowledge of psycology and marketing would form the perfect blend to bring them in the tent in numbers not seen since P.T. Barnum displayed the "petrified man." Timber knew it was important to not get involved with the Bigfoot community. Knowing that factions always form when dealing with humans, he went underground. No last name, no Facebook, no Twitter, no Blogtalk, no Tumbr, no nothing, would be the order of the day. He would then only be accountable to his followers. Smart. Very smart. Back to the Cardiff Giant.

The giant being excavated in New York

The Cardiff Giant was being displayed by a small circus in New York and Barnum wanted it. He wanted it so bad, he had a sculptor make one that was ten feet tall. They poured acid on it and scared it with flame to make it look old. Crowds lined up to see it...screw the bearded lady.

The Cardiff Giant was one of the most famous hoaxes in United States history. It was a 10-foot (3.0 m) tall purported "petrified man" uncovered on October 16, 1869, by workers digging a well behind the barn of William C. "Stub" Newell in Cardiff, New York. Both it and an unauthorized copy made by P.T. Barnum are still on display.

The spectacle was so successful that a newspaper reporter David Hunnum said "There's a sucker born every minute" a quote now attributed to Barnum.

There's a  lot of stuff right now coming out of Ontario, and based on the numbers of YouTube subs, there is a "sucker born every minute." Confidence men know this. That is what keeps them motivated.

Bigfoot is taunting George

George has been so close, yet, so far away. Bigfoot seems to have a special relationship with George.

Bill Brock and Tim Fasano inside Myakka Park

This is Bill Brock and I cruising by the powerline and the famous sighting area in Myakka State Park. Bill came down from Maine to be part of this exciting event. He was a real cool dude, just like Stacey.

Getting ready for the Myakka Skunk Ape expedtion

This weekend should be wild man. Stacy Brown jr, and his crew, along with 30 researchers from around Florida, and from out of state, will hit Myakka River State Park for a Skunk Ape expedition. This has taken some planning and it may be the first time different groups have agreed to work together, and not let their egos get in the way. Will see if that really happens. I hope so.

I am picking up a researcher from out of State at Tampa International Airport and taking him to the expedition. We should arrive about mid-day. We will investigate the sighting area, then, backpack out to the primitive camping areas for night investigation. I should just leave my stuff up because we will camp out the next night, as well. Will see what happens.

We will also have a town hall meeting just like you see on TV. How cool is that! It seems many people in Myakka have had sightings and they are now willing to come forward and share their stories with researchers. That will be a lot of fun.

This video is Kevin using his thermal camera to test it on me in total darkness. The white tee shirt I have on really shows up well in the darkness. We will be using that extensively this weekend.

Tim Fasano on the Damian Bravo incident

The majority of his followers of Bigfoot Evidence Blog are trolls who have been blocked by me and other Bigfoot researchers from Facebook and YouTube. They are harmless since they merely spout the party line, and urban myths, that have sprung up about me. They do not like my looks, my size, my occupation and other pejoratives that have nothing to do with research. That by itself I could almost live with. Recently, however, something happened that I am not going to just live with. I was wrongly accused of hoaxing by someone who represents himself as a reporter, but is nothing of the kind. His name is Damian Bravo and he is associated with an organization called Team Tazer Bigfoot.

TTBF is a collective of keyboard jockeys that obviously have no field research background, which was amplified by my experience with Mr. Bravo. Damian, Kevin and I went out last Easter Sunday in the swamp to do a maintenance check on a trail cam that had been deployed for 21 days. It was important to inspect the area, change the media card and batteries, and lock it down for the next six months until November. All was going well as we hiked along a dried out creek bed to gain entry into the area. That is when Damian thought he saw something.

He thought he saw an upright, dark figure with head and shoulders moving through the palmetto field. I had my back turned at that instant and Kevin was looking ahead. Damain yelled out there was something in the brush and we went into the area to investigate. We were, however, unable to find anything. After questioning Damian about it size, movements, color (cloths), and so forth, he insisted he had seem “a bi-pedal’ dark animal. I did not see it but I was hopeful he had seen some of the phenomena that has been going on out there in the last three years. We continued and finally reached the trail cam.

I found Damian Bravo to be a nice guy with a good mind. Kevin and Damian hit it off well and I was excited about this possible alliance of different research groups. Damian shot a ton of video from two different cameras. I could tell he was having a good time. We accomplished our mission and made our way back to our cars. All was well and we headed home.

Before we left, I told him I could not wait to get home and begin downloading my videos. If you’ve watched me for the last three years, you know I am a YouTube guy. That is what I do. Damian then made a strange request. He asked that I put everything up on YouTube as “Private” and send him the emails so he could copy them and edit them on his site. He wanted to be the first to post them.

When I got home, I thought about that arrangement. I did not like it. In the field, I was very excited about meeting a new friend and I may have said no problem. I reconsidered that based on a couple things.

I went to his YouTube site and seeing that this guy has never set foot in the woods, I began to wonder about him. Kevin called and asked me if “Damian Bravo” was his real name. He thought it sounded too made up. I was getting second thoughts about giving him full control over my videos.  I changed my mind.

I put up the video that shows the possible class A encounter. He clearly states he saw something and would not back away from that stance. I realized now why. He was a novice to the woods, and all newbie’s have sightings on their first trip in. That is normal. He saw that I published it on YouTube and became very angry.

He would later say I HOAXED THE WHOLE THING. He claims I had put a stooge in the woods with a monkey suit on. A stooge who would respond on cue. That cue was I ‘taking a fake piss.’ The stooge, according to Damian, was Rick Dyer(?)This is a preposterous assertion.

Damian did a counter response to the video I did as a quest poster on Bigfoot Evidence Blog. He put my image in a collage of Biscardi and Rick Dyer to give the impression I was in on the 2008 Georgia Hoax. For someone who wants to be respected in the Bigfoot world as a reporter, that was not ethical or moral on his part.

He said he wanted to report about me without any bias! Oh really! That image was biased. He claims he was set up. Can you prove this Mr. Bravo or are you just going to slander me and my friend Kevin? There is no other way to view this. You have no proof of your accusation. The statement that Rick Dyer was in the woods is mind boggling for any rational person to understand. However, let me get to the point.

In the video that is posted here you will hear me tell Mr. Bravo I did not think he saw Bigfoot. I believed he saw “the interplay of light and shadow.” In short - A BLOBSQUATCH. However, there was the potential that he DID see something. Especially the way he clung to it, and would not let it go. Kevin told me he did not believe Damian and was suspect about it.

Damian said he wanted to give me a second chance. What! Who the hell is he to be giving ME a second chance. I gave him a FIRST change. That was the chance to come from behind his computer and actually get into the woods. Kevin and I have been out in the woods twice since we last saw you. I bet you have not. Nothing slows down our research.

In addition, I confided in you that the recession has been hard on me. That was personal. You went public with that… You are low class sir.

The only thing that happened Sunday was you ran your stupid mouth while I was running tape. You made those claims; I did not. You also shot a bunch of tape. Where are your videos? Where is the video that proves it was hoax? You can't produce it because it does not exist. You are too much of a coward to show your videos because they do not SUPPORT YOU HOAXING CLAIM.

I am getting very tired of people like you calling me a hoaxer with no Goddamn evidence. Prove it Mr. Bravo or take down what you have said about me.

Oh, what the does Rick Dyer have to do with this? You have lost me there amigo.

A possible Class A Sighitng by a member of Team Tazer Bigfoot

I had an opportunity to go out Easter Sunday with Damian Bravo of Team Tazer Bigfoot and Kevin Thomas Kehl of Enigmatic Anomalies. I have worked with Kevin many times in the swamps and he has been instrumental in locating spots for trail cam deployment while inspiring me too go even deeper then I ever have before. With the introduction of Damian of Team Tazer, the opportunity was groundbreaking. Face it, you really don't see alot of groups working together.

Damina Bravo and Tim Fasano in the swamp

You may have noticed that at the start of 2012 my research took a turn that I think is for the better. One, I have only focused on my field work and stopped commenting about what others are doing. Two, I almost always work with others now. Everything from a weekend canoe trip in January to deep field work in the swamp with Kevin has been included. If you have been watching ALL my videos, you know that Kevin and I have found some remarkable things.

A large field of prints in the flood runoff plane was found and now casted. Kevin also found what we think is hair five feet up on a tree. As you know, we are not experts in zoology. However, we show and put our stuff up for others to give input. Everyone so far believes it was hair we found. The prints we found have toes and are large. We also found a strange pig kill that even hunters have not been able to tell us how it happened. We did not represent that as a Bigfoot kill, I only said Matt Moneymaker on National TV said BF kills in such fashion.

Kevin and Damian examine the footprints

In the past, I faced ridicule and scorn by working alone. People said I was 'hoaxing' my stuff. The fact that I was alone meant I could pull anything I wanted, and nobody would be there to observe. Now, that I only work with other people who have experience (an attempt to elevate my game), I am now being accused of 'riding on others coattails.' It seems you can't win for losing in the Bigfoot world.

I have gained nothing by doing this. I am losing subscribers and blog hits. In early 2012 I  had over 900 subs on YouTube; today I have 890. I am losing ground. Gee, I thought if I went "legetimate' I would get more. My blog used to get over 15,000 page views a month when I trashed talked; I am now down to about 7,000. I am losing ground. Going legit does not seem to be what you people want. I do this on my own dime. I am paid nothing. Just what is it I am supposed to be after?

In this video you will see Damina Bravo of Team Tazer describe what he saw in the woods. HE SAW IT - I DID NOT. You will also see us walk up on some prints and hear his genuine reaction to that. Again, am I that cleaver to get all these people to go in on some hoax while I lose YouTube subs? This makes no since.

Enigmatic Anomalies stands up for Tim Fasano and the Seminole Project

Kevin Thomas Kehl

(A guest post from earshome.com)

Hi, I'm Kevin Thomas Kehl with Enigmatic Anomalies (yes,the spelling is correct).

I founded E.A.R.S. (Enigmatic Anomaly Research Society) several years ago with the explicit mission to study all things strange and paranormal. I/we would never hoax, embellish or stretch any story that we are working on. We don't believe in it and is part of our mission statement.

When I decided to create the webshow "Enigmatic Anomalies" to cover the hard work of others out in the various fields (including our own) I chose Tim Fasano because I had been following his videos on You-Tube for a while,he was local and seemed very knowledgeable on the subject of Bigfoot.
He was our first interview and was nothing short of a perfect gentleman.
Little did I know that it would turn into a working relationship.

Since that interview we have collaborated on several investigations with Tim and have NEVER seen anything that would lead us to believe that he was the hoaxer that everyone was making him out to be.

Since Tim has started his Seminole Project I have personally gotten more involved with his work.

I shot this pig video while on a mission to retrieve a media card from a trail-cam and is what "I" considered to be an anomaly.

Yes, it could have been any number of things that killed this pig, but since we were on a "bigfoot expedition" it seemed fitting to title the video "possible" bigfoot prey. Why not?
Is it exciting to think of it as such?
Sure! That's why we all do this. There is a level of excitement involved in all paranormal investigations but at the same time keeping a level head.

At no time did I or Tim say this is definitive.

Also, Tim did not lead me anywhere.
As a matter of fact Tim had no idea where we going to wind up as I was the one taking him down small unexplored paths and wound up miles from where he thought we were.
There is no way Tim cut the pig and placed it there.
You can lay that misnomer to rest.

I labeled it as an anomaly because of a collection of various reasons:

* Middle of the week, not a soul around. Not even in the parking area when we returned.

*Area off limits to hunters. If it was a hunter that did it, then it was a "poacher" and if so why leave the delicious baby-back ribs and ham? Just for a trophy head?

*The freshness of the kill with absolutely no signs of blood or other body parts. It had to have been killed within 24hrs.

*No tear marks on the upper portion of the body.
It was a clean cut. To me if it was an animal there would be tear marks all over. We were not near a water source so you can rule out an alligator.
Can a bear do that? I don't know.

Again, this does not absolutely make for a bigfoot kill. That's why I asked for suggestions at the end of the video.

I can't speak to experiences anyone else has had but mine with Tim have been nothing but positive.
He is genuinely interested in providing reliable information while at the same time shooting something that is not painstaking to watch.

I look forward to posting more stories and videos of our investigations and discussing the enigmatic anomaly of bigfoot further.

Does Skunkape kill its prey like this?

This was from Enigmaticanomalies.com

Today Kevin spent a good part of the day assisting Tim Fasano with trail-cam recovery. It was a beautiful day for a hike in the swamp and surrounding woods.
Upon finding one of the trail-cams they were both excited to see that the camera had picked up 93 images!

Please log on to http://www.seminoleproject.com to see these photos when they are uploaded.

During the hike Kevin found a couple of different odd things. The first thing I found was the skull of some small animal. At this time I am not sure what it is but I am sure there is someone out there who can identify it. Please help me as I am not a trained biologist!

The second is the back half of a hog. It was cleanly severed in half with only a small tear near the ribs. There was no blood on the ground and there was no sight of the front half of the pig.

I don't think this was done by a person as who would purposely leave the ham and ribs? It appeared to be twisted in half after its' back was broken. I don't know if a bear would kill like this or not but I am hopping that there might be someone who can shed some insight

Floridabigfoot.org to show live updates from the field Sunday during night operations

A night optics camera (we will be using thermal imaging)

While you people on the East coast are watching Finding Bigfoot at 10:00, a group of dedicated Bigfoot researchers will be in the swamps of Florida doing a night operation on my blog Floridabigfoot.org. This will be part of our two day Skunkape hunt. We have been planning this for some time and the area picked seems to be perfect for our objectives.

I will be with a new and exciting team called Enigmatic Anamolies. They are developing a new TV show about paranormal activities. Bigfoot is only a part of what they are doing.

I hope you will tune in either before "Finding Bigfoot" or after to see what is going on. You will have to go to Floridabigfoot.org to see it. We are a new and exciting group of Bigfoot researchers with goals of finding real evidence.

The area we will be in is on the other side of where they found the giant find of footprints only a couple months ago. Anything close to that would make all of this effort worth it.

I believe anyone interested in nature should get "squatching." Check out the beauty you are missing in the video below. Check out that deer at night. Wow! How cool was that!

How I know Bigfoot Ancestral DNA is not human

This was recorded on the Enigmatic Anomalies TV show in an interview segment. I had an hour long sit down to explain my views on many Bigfoot topics. I know some of them are controversial, but I can back them up with logic. Face it, Bigfoot is not a tool maker, a fire maker, or an artist. These three things set us apart from all animals.

"Bigfoot will never be captured alive" Bigfoot Live Talk Show

On this video I explain why I don't think a Bigfoot will ever be the subject of a lab study. That is because he will never be taken alive. His evolutionary programing is just that good.

"Enigmatic Anomalies" TV show with Tim Fasano skunk ape episode promo

George, Kevin and Rob all work for a major cable TV network in the production end and they have formed a new company called "Enigmatic Anomalies.'  Their work is professional and slick (as you can see in this promo). They are producing a pilot for a new cable TV paranormal series. The main emphasis will be on Bigfoot.

This company is based on a lifetime of interest in the paranormal by these three guys. Unlike many shows on cable,  they use objectivity and reason in how they approach this topic. Everything is not a Bigfoot and there is 'no squatch in these woods.' That is what an amateur will do; this series does not insult your intelligence. They only want you to think about these matters in ways you may not have.

My new friends are masters at lighting, sound and stage. I know you will be very impressed by what they are doing. There is so much more to come. Please watch this short promo video and see for yourself.

The best part is my house is six blocks from the studio and these guys all live in the Tampa Bay area. Home grown talent.

Enigmatic Anomalies TV show working with Tim Fasano on the Skunk Ape episode

I will be working in the field and doing studio work with a Tampa Florida based Paranormal research group that is filming a pilot for a cable TV series. Enigmatic Anomalies is the name and they have an office and studio in Tampa. Things are moving quickly and I am very excited about this project. Unlike "Finding Bigfoot" we actually find Bigfoot evidence.
