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.

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.

The EA taping of the Bigfoot show in December 2011

Kevin, Ken, and George hard at work in the Enigmatic Anomalies studio Tampa. They are getting ready to interview the worlds best Bigfoot hunter, Tim Fasano. This was the first time I had ever worked with these guys. In fact, the was the first time I had ever met them and I had no idea it would lead into a long term association. Its funny how these things work out.

Ken and Kevin setting up the shoot

Ocala National Forest prime Bigfoot area

Ocala is now on our radar. Kevin and Teri went up there this weekend and found a trove of footprints on friends private property. The wildlife prints were Turkey, bear, and deer. Marion county Florida has more reported sightings then any other county. We are already making plans for operations between October - April. This should raise our game to a new level.

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.

Investigation in the Bigfoot sighting zone

Kevin and I were able to get back out to the Sasquatch sighting area Thursday. Our hope was that since the area was fresh, there may be evidence at the scene. The terrain would be just like it was 10 days before so we were able to do test that determined the height of the creature.
Using a bamboo pole and having each one of us stand behind the palmetto line, we did test from the shooting angle to see how tall it was. Our conclusion was it was upwards of seven feet. That is why he may have been having trouble hiding for he was out in the open and not directly along the line.
Kevin had a parabolic mic which many in Bigfoot are using now becasue it can pinpoint sound from quite some distance. The day we did the follow up investigation there was, of course, not much going on. That is the nature of this business. Exposure increases your odds. That is how I got lucky the other day.
I believe the Bigfoot that was video taped in Florida was standing 20 feet behind the palmetto line. We discovered a hard packed dirt horse trail in the open that would be consistent with the lighting seen in the video. The position was elevated and that made him look closer to the brush.
In the image below I am standing where I believe the Sasquatch stood. In the distance you can see where I was at. That is why he was trying to duck because he got caught in the open.

Camping near a Bigfoot sighting

I went camping last week with friends. It was at a commercial site which is a change of pace from our usual primitive/backcountry outings in Florida. You can see the taxi and my tent (I have two tents) and I enjoyed having a bathroom across the way at campsite #28.


This is George who brought most of the gear and got us started on chopping wood. He is a guy that will have a gadget for everything. He also happens to be the host of a local TV show about the paranormal.


We really had a nice fire going just before sunset and were waiting for Teri and Kevin to show up. They soon did and Kevin became "Children of the Corn" which is a tradition for us.

It all went downhill after dinner when we decided to go look for Bigfoot. That is when I got hurt skidding down a limestone rock face. I have been out of commission but I am on the mend.

EA-TV full Bigfoot TV episode with our research team

This is the TV broadcast of our team on local Great 38 TV of the Bigfoot episode. Pretty cool being on TV and we hope to be doing much more in the future.

Epic Bigfoot DNA results

The DNA results on these skulls could shake the underpinnings of established science. Kevin and Teri (beautiful women on this blog's banner) did a great job on this video. They are taking their channel to dizzying heights.

Florida Bigfoot Investigators TV show a big success

The remier episode of  Florida Bigfoot Investigators aired last night on Tampa Bay Great 38 and it was a hit. The TV station has ordered 13 more episodes which should keep Kevin and the gang very busy. Central Florida saw a quality Bigfoot show that was about research and investigation. It was about a team of researchers that go into the Green Swamp in the middle of the night using thermal imaging under mostly "lights out" conditions. I thought the show was great and I was honored to be  part of it.

When Kevin contacted me in 2011 about this project, I knew it would require long term dedication. We did the work, and now we can see the results. I am very proud of Kevin, George, Mike, Rob, and Terri. They have done an excellent job. Spike TV did not want us but if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Below are three videos outtakes of the show giving you a flavor of what was went down.

Tim Fasano on EA-RADIO

Kevin has started a radio interview show that would rival C2C. He is booking a variety of guest that span the paranormal field. This is the radio show with Tim Fasano.

George and his gadgets

George is a paranormal investigator who works production for a major cable television channel. He also has and makes many gadgets that could be useful in Bigfoot research. This is an EMF device they use in ghost investigations. He is trying in the tonight to see if any readings show up.

Bigfoot and artifacts

Kevin filming the gator

The river we were following along was clear and wild. The brush was thick and we had to forge our way through. I was thinking not many on land had been in this area. The water was so clear Kevin said that if it was not cold, he would go for a swim. He saw something that changed his mind. A large gator loomed nearby. It was also in a strange place. We had stumbled upon something very interesting.

We came upon the remains of an old logging camp. Logging of giant cypress trees in Florida reached it heyday in the 1920's. Most of the houses built in that era were made of that wood. If you ever watch the TV show "Axe Men" you know how much money is paid for trees. In Florida the Great Cypress trees were hundreds of feet in the air. They were known as "Florida's Redwoods." It was a crime to decimate their ranks as they did. When they were done, they packed up and left.

A strange looking gator

We found an old bulkhead and large chains still attached to trees up above (that is how they lifted them up to place the cypress on a rail line that had been put down through the Green Swamp of Florida. I have no idea how these guys survived during such a primitive time. George even found what was left of a low-tech latrine that was rather sophisticated for that time period.

George watching from the bank

The gator was just off the bulkhead or seawall they had created for a couple of hundred feet to pull the trees into after they were floated down stream. If you came down that creek by canoe, you would certainly run into guys like that gator. Be warned. This is not a very safe place. You can get hurt and or bit by snakes and bugs (like I was). When we got out of there, I was beat. I crashed as soon as I got home from hours of hiking. Don't get me wrong, this was fun and I would chose to do this no matter what.

Rare summertime expedition into 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.

A strange find

Kevin and I found this in a flood plane zone. It was high above the river bank and one mile from the nearest dock. We believe it was washed in during rainy season which will cause flood. Very powerful water can be.

Bigfoot is taunting George

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

Cotton mouth ready to strike (Fo Shizzle)

Reconyx RC60

The area we were in is a dangerous place. These videos show a cotton mouth ready to strike at Kevin. I walk by it because you can't be afraid or you don't belong here. Go back to the city and stay on your computer keyboard.

They call these things "Water Moccasins" because they swim in the swamp! The next video shows me dredging through the water to get to the trail cam. Do I look afraid? I should be. This area is full of snakes, wild boar, coyotes, black bear and other wild animals.

Work called me when I was at the trail cam. They wanted to know If I could run a call. Not much I could do. I told them Kevin and I were "camping."

The Reconyx RC60 had 8,255 images on it! Wow! There is some great stuff on this card. It is blowing my mind. However, it is going to take a long time to look at and consider each one. The images will be coming soon.

The Florida Bigfoot sighting video (segment)

This is the important part of the Bigfoot sighting video taken in the Florida Green Swamp. I am holding back the entire video to protect my rights to it. Good news. We will soon begin shooting a pilot episode for a potential cable TV Bigfoot show. The guys I currently work with are already TV production professionals and understand how this stuff is done. I will be learning along the way. I have purposly surrounded myself with talented guys and it is now paying off. We have brought in an outsider to manage, produce and edit the project. This project will last months.

We are in the planning stages and this video will be part of it. We are also lining up people who have come forward with Bigfoot pictures, videos and cast from Florida that have not posted anything on the net or contacted BFRO. Witnesses and material will be unique to this project.

We are putting in all we have to make this a go. I am sure people will find the show not only entertaining, but as this video shows, we will present  compelling evidence. We may even through in a little monkey for entertainment.

NOTE: This is the LONG and SHORT version. It is unique to this blog and is not on YouTube. You will see it bob up and down before it shows itself in the open. There are at least one other to its right (viewers left) that is desperately trying to hide in the palmettos. This video shows 1) SOCIAL INTERACTION 2) USE OF PATHWAYS they used the horse trail behind them to enter and exit field 3) The are DESPERATELY TRYING TO HIDE they don't want to be seen by man.

Bigfoot outing yields a strange result

Kevin and I recently had a chance to do an overnight Southern Bigfoot search in the Hillsborough River flood plane zone. Even though we are in a drought, we needed to go in now to avoid the heat and rain that just a month away. If this animal is a swamp ape, he will come into this swamp during hurricane season.

It happened to be the coldest night of the year and after sunset, you could see your breath. That is not common in Florida.

We set up camp and found out we were the only one out there this night (just the way we like it).  I got my tent set up and unloaded all of our gear. Keven even had a GoPro helmet cam that he experimented with on his mountain bike. He did not find anything, but I still think its a good idea.

After sunset, we headed out to do a night operation. There is belief that Bigfoot is nocturnal. I am not sold on that because of the many daytime sightings, including the Patterson film. Nobody can really prove any of this - it is all theory. Anyway, part of our objective was to do a night search along the river and where we found the dead pig last month, that looked like it had  been torn up by a larger animal. I did hear Matt Moneymaker say something about that on the North Carolina episode of Finding Bigfoot.


We wanted to deploy a Reconyx RC60 trail cam, and leave it up for six months, but got sidetracked by other stuff. We have another cam on permanent deployment in the Green Swamp of Florida, and are getting some good results. At least we can track animal movements from day and night. When deer go nocturnal, that means they are being hunted hard. That may have something to do with Skunkape behaviour.

I was bundled up good and knew it was going to be very cold. With all the walking, I stayed warm and we soon were in the pig area. Kevin circled around and I checked it out. The pig carcass was gone and not even a trace. The first time we were there, no blood or anything else put just the rear section of the pig. We did not stay long here because we wanted to find the river before dark.

Kevin at the overlook around dusk. We could hear something hit the water like a rock being thrown.
Our timing was good because we got to the river just as it got dark. Then, we made an enigmatic discovery of a grave marker. My first thought was that it may have been from homesteader days. That would made the grave close to a century old, if not longer. The etching on it looked good, as if it was made with special tools.

The name was Henry Bear. I have contacts that have done research on that name and cannot find a death notice for that name in recent years anywhere in the state of Florida. There is no way to tell how old it is. It us up an incline and not exactly on the trail. The only reason we found it was becasue we were looking for an open area to secure the trail cam. However, it was just to thick in there.

Kevin tried calling out to Henry Bear while he was recording it on his video. I'm afraid I was filming also and just kept running my mouth. I really need shut up when someone is doing that. I am new to a new venture in the realm of the enigmatic. I guess that's how you learn.

We got some good video and I have been listening for what are called EVP's.
Electric Voice Phenomena have been recorded by paranormal researchers and they are possible communication from the departed. I see this show on cable where they seem to find them all the time. I did not have such luck. I can't really tell if anything is heard in the background other then an owl.

On the way back to camp, we did hear something large moving off to our right. I put a search light on it and Kevin went in. By the time I got my video camera out of my backpack, it was gone. That how it goes in the business.

It was very cold after midnight and we slept in our cars. Without a tent heater, forget about sleeping on the ground. Next time, I will be more prepared. This is the first of many such adventures, I hope. Anyway, the burgers, chicken and potato salad were great.
