Time Lapse in a Bigfoot area

Getting into the Bigfoot area

This is a time lapse along the power line corridor. The theory is Bigfoots use it for crossing since they use the things that man has made.

Expanding on what Grover Krantz said about the problem with Bigfoot

Dr. Krantz believed the evidence for Bigfoot was a physics problem. This was an issue I explored in this video from 2009. Man really does have limitations with his scientific method.

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 powerline theory

Bigfoot uses man made corridors such as powerlines, forest roads and horse trails to gain access and cover large amounts of ground. Forging through the thicket would not be an effective way to manage this. So Bigfoot takes advantage of what he finds just like many other animals do. There is also a theory that Bigfoot communicates on the high tension wires by knocking on them, sort of a Bigfoot cell phone.

Kevin shows off the parabolic mic

Kevin works in TV production and he and Geroge are always coming up with new stuff. Since we were going to a known Bigfoot sighting area, it made sense to bring something like this because they may be in area and we could hear them from a distance. It is a really cool device.

A Bigfoot scientifc paper has already been published which does not support the Ketchum Project

Has there ever been a scientific paper written on Bigfoot? With the world waiting for the Ketchum DNA study, is there any other report that uses science to examine the Sasquatch issue? Yes. In 2009 a paper was published by The Journal of Biogeograpy, titled, Predicting the distribution of Sasquatch in North America. The paper used a new mathematical model called ecological niche modeling to compare Sasquatch sightings with Black Bear sightings. By using environmental data such as rainfall, temperature, foliage, density, ect., they created a computer model that could predict the location of such animal and the expected density of population.

The upcoming Ketchum project uses samples gathered at random (a process that could never be duplicated). This new mathematical model would require samples gathered from the high density areas you will see on the maps. Restricting such activity to these areas would make strides towards scientific credibility instead of hackneyed samples being sent in by known hoaxers. Evidence needs to be measurable.

For example, the following would be a common claim by many Bigfoot researchers. However, is it evidence? What would be evidence for the existence of a North American Ape?

"I have been researching Bigfoot in Washington and have 3 hours of video and castings of 2 different foot prints in the snow. I now have a chunk of hair I found on a broken tree branch. I need to find out what kind of animal it came from. It is about 3 inches long and like dry fishing line and there is some hair that is like a under coat or winter coat. You my think I'm crazy but that's ok because I know what I have and some day the world will know too."

Scientist need more then just that kind of evidence so J. D. Lozier, P. Anilio, and M. J. Hickerson submitted a paper with their results on Bear and Sasquatch sightings ( below you will see density for both animals)

Bigfoot density of sightings

Bear density of sightings

This all looks very similar. The authors did a correlative study and explain how niche modeliing works.

"Ecological niche models (ENMs) and species distribution models have become increasingly popular tools for predicting the geographic ranges of species and have been important for conservation (Kremen et al., 2007), for predicting changes in distribution from past or future climatic events (Hijmans & Graham, 2006), and for investigating patterns of speciation and niche divergence (Wiens & Graham, 2005; Carstens & Richards, 2007; Warren et al., 2008). The basic premise of the ENM approach is to predict the occurrence of species on a landscape from georeferenced site locality data and sets of spatially explicit environmental data layers that are assumed to correlate with the species’ range. In many cases, models are based on researchers’ own collection data and on detailed knowledge of the taxa being studied, making predictions reasonable depictions of species occurrences given the current modelling technology. However, the increasing availability of locality data in online literature, museum databases and online data portals [e.g. GBIF (http://data.gbif.org/)] is providing unprecedented access to biodiversity data and allowing researchers to greatly expand the deployment of species distribution models and/or ENMs. While the value of publicly available sample locality data is not questioned, the consequent introduction of errors in the accuracy of specimen identity and georeferencing could be problematic for developing ENMs from public data sources (Graham et al., 2004; Soberón & Peterson, 2004). Although georeferencing inaccuracies can be identified in databases from qualitative or quantitative accuracy thresholds (e.g. http://manisnet.org/GeorefGuide.html), poor taxonomy and/or misidentification may be less detectable. This issue may be particularly problematic, for example, with cryptic species or subspecies that are morphologically similar but may have very distinct ecological requirements and geographic distributions, or for those data sources that contain indirect observations rather than references only to physical specimens."

"The observed value of I = 0.849 indeed indicates a high degree of overlap, and falls well within the null distribution generated from maxent runs for 100 randomizations of Bigfoot and black bear coordinates (Fig. 3; P < observed = 0.32). Thus, the two 'species' do not demonstrate significant niche differentiation with respect to the selected bioclimatic variables. Although it is possible that Sasquatch and U. americanus share such remarkably similar bioclimatic requirements, we nonetheless suspect that many Bigfoot sightings are, in fact, of black bears."

The conclusion of this scientific paper is stated below and it is based on quantifiable computer models.

The availability of user-friendly software and publicly available biodiversity databases has led to a rapid increase in the use of ecological niche modelling to predict species distributions. A potential source of error in publicly available data that may affect the accuracy of ecological niche models (ENMs), and one that is difficult to correct for, is incorrect (or incomplete) taxonomy. Here we remind researchers of the need for careful evaluation of database records prior to use in modelling, especially when the presence of cryptic species is suspected or many records are based on indirect evidence. To draw attention to this potential problem, we construct ENMs for the North American Sasquatch (i.e. Bigfoot). Specifically, we use a large database of georeferenced putative sightings and footprints for Sasquatch in western North America, demonstrating how convincing environmentally predicted distributions of a taxon’s potential range can be generated from questionable site-occurrence data. We compare the distribution of Bigfoot with an ENM for the black bear, Ursus americanus, and suggest that many sightings of this cryptozoid may be cases of mistaken identity. Journal of Biogeography

The fact that a model can be fit to any random assemblage of locality points is, of course, not surprising, but in cases where the distribution of these points appears to be organized, records may be less carefully scrutinized for errors. For instance, the Sasquatch sightings shown in Fig. 1 occur in areas where we might expect to observe such an organism based on preconceived notions, but we may be seriously biasing our inference of the distribution if many (or all) of the records represent misidentified black bear sightings. Although beyond the scope of this piece, it would be interesting for future theoretical studies to explore the effects of including misidentified specimens on ENMs, either using simulations or empirical data from closely related species.

The conclusion is that people are seeing Black Bears and Brown Bears. Interesting. I guess people will say the Sasquatch share the same environment and that explains why they have been proven to overlap.

Strange skull found in Florida swamps

Kevin found this skull while we were forging our way to the wild river. I have done Google searches on every type of skull for animals and common birds we have seen in the swamp. Nothing close. The alligator does not even match. It must belong to something that has horns? Kevin has been hiking the Green Swamp for twenty years and he has no idea what this may be. At this point, it is a cryptid of some sort.

We had gone to Trail Cam number two earlier and it had 95 images on it. You can see some of those images on this blog and on my YouTube site. Good things are happening. When you are a dedicated hoaxer, you must work very hard and put in the miles and the time to 'hoax' these things. We are trying so hard on that.

Seminole Project proving swamp flood plane perfect sasquatch habitat

She walked right in front of the camera

They say Bigfoot needs food, water, and cover to survive. He lives in remote areas, and perhaps, only moves out of his comfort zone when migrating. The results from the Seminole Project using a Rerconyx RC60 shows the flood plane they are in fits all of the criteria. The project wants their cameras to be very remote, Tim Fasano has even removed it from spots to go further out. With the help of Kevin, They have gotten into areas Fasano has not seen before. This plan of attack seems to be working.

Tim Fasano in field

Images are now coming in from the project that prove this area is rich and teaming with wildlife. The other night a wild hog was captured by the camera, and now, a group of deer were moving through. In the picture above, you can see the upper body of a female deer (we position the camera at a height of five feet). There are glimpses of other deer on subsequent frames. I believe she may have had yearlings with her.

What is  positive about all this is the hard work is paying off in verifying our tactics as being correct. It is just a matter of staying with a long term project to catch images of animals that just don't belong in Florida. A panther or wild cat would be an amazing discovery, as well.

Tomorrow I will show you how she reacted and why I think that is no matter for concern.

Seminole Project trail cam has images on it

I went back to the first trail cam that was deployed and found it had 39 images on it. How cool! This was considered the first major test of the device to ensure we are setting them correctly and we can now confidently deploy them for months. Long term is the way to ensure results. Areas need to be uncontaminated by humans. That is why we have worked so hard to find areas were nobody goes into.

Finding locations for these Reconyx RC60 cameras is harder work then I thought. Unlike regular 'squatching' where you are observing and recording your environment, with this project, you must go deeper then your comfort zone will allow to find a very remote area. We all believe the big guy does the same thing. It is time Bigfoot researchers start going into these areas and get off the trails. The Seminole Project has taught me that concept very well.

Here is a video of me after I found the camera and checked the batteries and hit count. There was a large pig in the area and I had to scare it off. Scat was also found in front of the camera. I was hoping to find something there.

The Seminole Project is now

Kevin and I spent the weekend putting up two trial cams in deep swamp areas. The areas we picked were lush with vegetation and water. They were secluded and nobody comes out here. Kevin has hiked this part of Florida most of his life and was amazed at just how deep into it we got. It was fun, but man was it a lot of work.

This is not easy. You must go deep and far away from people and civilization. If not, the study won't work. When you are finding animals, the people will not be around.

I have started a new YouTube channel that will be my primary channel now. It is called "Seminole Project." It will be a five year commitment to once and for all find evidence of the skunkape.

Day One of the Seminole Project Deep Field Bigfoot Trail cam deployment

This is a video of the area where we secured a spot to deploy our first trail cam. This area was very "squatch" or "skunky" so we went with it.

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.

The New York tree Bigfoot was also shot in Florida by Tim Fasano

Robert Pridjem at Lembo Lake Campground in New York State may have recorded a small Bigfoot in a tree. There were many people there for camping and fun. One of the groups sitting around a campfire recorded some strange behavior in a tree. It may show a baby Bigfoot swinging around. It seems to also show an adult, as well as, the juvenile.

The Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot will profile this video in the season premiere on Sunday night. This video is not the only one ever taken of a Bigfoot in a tree. Tim Fasano recorded one in the summer of 2009. He posted it on Youtube and many experts examined it and confirmed that there was something in the tree.

What Matt Moneymaker will point out Sunday night is how long the arms are on the creature. I want you to notice how long the arms are on the creature that I shot in a tree in Florida three years ago. Chuck007 and Joe Black did a great job in analyzing this video

A Bigfoot Jaw Bone found in 1935 may contain the answer

A Bigfoot Jaw Bone?

They say we have no Bigfoot body or DNA. But do we? On display in a museum in San Diego is a very large jaw bone that belongs to an Ice Age primate that was up to ten feet tall and 1,000 lbs, known as Gigantopithecus and he was big man.

The working theory is that this creature may have migrated to North America from Asia. They are still believed to be plentiful int he deep, remote regions of the Pacific and Canada North West. Numerous sightings over the centuries have confirmed that something is living out in the remote areas.

There are now more sightings east of the Mississippi then in the West, showing, perhaps, migratory patterns are continuing with a warming earth. Reports from the swamp areas near the Gulf of Mexico detail a beast that is smaller and with longer hair, believed to evolutionary adaptations to environment.

The jaw bone in the image above should be DNA tested (if there is any) with samples from the Erickson Project for comparison. If not this one, others. That would introduce a more scientific aspect to the project and get the attention of mainstream science.

If it matches, you could say there is a body. At least a jaw bone.

"Some diehard Sasquatchers speculate that Bigfoot may actually be Gigantopithecus, the largest primate to have ever walked the Earth. 

Discovered by renowned paleontologist Gustav von Koenigswald, Gigantopithecus was thought to have evolved during the Pleistocene Era, and lived throughout Southeast Asia 

Fossils led scientists to believe that the creature stood close to 10 feet tall and weighed a whopping 1,200 pounds. Thought to have gone extinct due to severe climate change, ape-man advocates say Giganopithecus may be alive and well, and hiding in remote regions of the world, like the Himalayas, Siberia, the swamps in the southeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest."
'via Blog this'

There is no evidence science will except unless it can be measured and tested. The spoor of footprints and howls in the night are just not going to get it. They do, however, allow Bigfoot researchers to know they are getting close, and to continue on the quest.

POWERLINES AND BIGFOOT: A new theory in Bigfoot research

The video above was taken by me in November of 2010. It records sounds coming from a power line system that could be a possible form of Sasquatch communication. I was working with a member of a local Bigfoot research group. This area was a spot that they had been observing for years and they had heard activity in the area before. They made no claim as to what that might be, but it was interesting anyway.

The video records the genuine reactions from the two researchers...Fasano hearing this for the first time and formulating a theory on the spot..Cryptoseeker bursting with excitement and acting a little leery of the high tension wires up above. She then explains to Tim the working theory her group has developed.

(She would subsequently state that this video was a hoax. She would imply that Fasano staged and misrepresented it somehow. She now claims it was only hunters, miles in the distance, that we were hearing. Her reaction on the scene shows otherwise).

Jack Barnes of FB/FB ripped this from Youtube when it was up (I did not know that). Jack has done a good amount of research on the importance of Powerlines and how Bigfoot can use them to hide out, communicate, and travel undetected even in heavily populated areas such as New Jersey!

Many people first heard this theory when Matt Moneymaker on the show Finding Bigfoot explained it while in North Carolina. You can see other researchers have been onto this as well.

I once had this video up on YouTube but was told they would sue me if I did not take it down. It does not make her look bad...it makes her look genuine. Since I took it down she has had free reign to tell everyone on Facebook that I was hoaxing her that day. I have all seven videos taken at that powerline (32 mins of video) They are unedited and do not show any hoaxing.

The matter WAS over, but now that it has resurfaced on Facebook, I felt a need to comment. I truly hope the past does not keep hanging around. I am over this.

She does state on the last video that there are hunters down the line and they may be moving toward us. But she does not state that is the only reason for what we encountered.

I will stand my ground on this one. Jack of FB/FB published it, I am only using an embed code. If someone has a problem with that, go complain to Jack. I am sure, in a nice way, he will tell you to go piss up a rope.

Tim Stover Bigfoot Thinks Outside The Box

 tcsjrbigfoot has a video on his youtube channel that he is catching heat from people that don't know what the hell they are talking about. They are accusing him of hoaxing or conveniently having certain cameras on tripods or using a FLIR in the daylight. This shows how ignorant they are.

1) I am a FIELD RESEARCHER. I always have my camera on a tripod. You can fold the legs in and use it as a mono-pod for ground stability. If you see something, you can revert to a tripod for a motionless shot. I don't have all the fancy gear that Finding Bigfoot has, but I do have a Nikon D50 DSLR that hangs around my neck. If I need too, I will shoot that as well. We are not every tipped off about when something may happen; we just go with it with whatever camera happens to be in our hands at that exact moment.

2) DAYLIGHT: Patty was filmed in daylight. Nothing more to say.

3) FLIR in Daylight: The United States Navy developed FLIR to detect heat losses along conduits that transported super heated water. It was vital to avoid a nuclear meltdown that accurate measurements be taken. This was done with lights on. There is nothing about FLIR that says it must be used at night. Just go to FLIR.com and look at the video.

You people are ignorant and wrong for going after Tim Stove from your living rooms. Get out in the field. The problem today is that most people do not do research. They just want to observe like they are watching porn.

I'm Back From The Skunk Ape Expedtion

I am back from three days and nights in the Green Swamp of central Florida. It has been fun, and an experience I will never forget. The opportunity to camp out 'deep field' miles from civilization. was something I have been dreaming about for months as Florida was in the grip of extreme heat. Now, the weather is better and I took advantage of that.

The camp area I had was on the bank of a river leaving its watershed. I was the only one out there, and when the sun went down, things started to happen. There was activity across the river in the 'skunk ape zone'. This is the area that is now closed to the public because of a death that took place years ago. The death was never explained. It is still a mystery.

The video below will give you an idea of the visuals and the sounds I encountered in this historical expedition in the Green Swamp. I am back and very tired with tons of videos to post up in the coming days.

Anatomy Of A Bigfoot Game Trail

Note the lack of overgrowth meaning very wide and tall animals are moving

In the years I have been doing Skunk Ape research, I have now found what I believe are two bonafide game trails used by the big hairy guy. One is in the Green Swamp and this one is in a SWIFMUD area. These are significant finds, for they show location and motivation. There must be a solid reason for the trails. In the trail pictured here- it is all about natural resources.

This trail leads down to a major river in Florida and it begins in an area of large Ferrel pig activity. A Bigfoot would have food and water at an inexhaustible supply. The permanent residents here may stay year long, hence the vegetation for cover, and the summer heat that keeps people out of here.

The forest ranger confirmed with me that this trail is not official, and not used by hikers. He speculates hogs made it. But, how do you explain the lack of overgrowth? Something much taller then me is forging this trail.

The opening into the Bigfoot trail

Down by the river is the famous shelter I found with the water bottle. I think it may have been used as a child's toy, or something. Everything about this area is falling into place in a logical place as far as Bigfoot research goes.

Night operations would be the way to do this in both locations. I would want some type of FLIR or have others with me. I know how to get into this area after dark. We would be entering at our own risk - which would be considerable.

Long before Tiger wears red in the Masters, I want to form a team to work these areas. I know we are close to finding habitat areas of non-migratory skunk apes.
