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.

No sign of human impact on Sasquatch blind

A comment was left that pointed out something about the Sasquatch blind that I did not think of. Humans would have something to sit on considering they could be all day out there.
"Tim : No indentions or impressions from maybe a foldout chair or possible milk crate sized square inside blind ? Common for hunters or photographers...Just curious? I Understand no legal hunting is allowed... This seems pretty awesome and legit."

Headed for Myakka River State Park to investigate recent sightings

I am headed for the park now to do a follow up investigation to all the "sighting videos" that have been put up on YouTube. I will be focusing on two main areas. The area where the lady shot the recent video, and the area where Stacy Brown Jr and his crew found  the prints and the scat sample.

It will take most of the day to do this but the weather is looking good. Stay tuned for updates on this blog and on my YouTube channel. I should have tons of photos, so get ready. You will like what you...I guarantee it.

Skunk Ape sighting at Myakka River State Park investigated by the BFRO!

Editors note: This is from the BFRO website. It is about a Skunk Ape sighting in Myakka River State Park in 2008 by a nature photographer. The sighting was only 1,000 feet from where the famous YouTube sighting of March 2 occurred. The recent video shot by the lady was 1,000 feet in the other direction. Because of these recent events, I will be there Saturday to investigate this location and where the women taped the creature the other day. Kevin will be at a UFO event in Jacksonville, so I will be by myself. This should be fun...a lot is going on down in ole' Myakka!

STATE: Florida
COUNTY: Sarasota County
NEAREST TOWN: Myakka City
OBSERVED: I was camping at myakka river state park in Sarasota county in Florida with my parents. I do nature photography as a hobby, and i was told by my father that the best time to go shoot nature photography is early in the morning since that is when most nature starts to wake up and animal activity is at its most active, so i took my father's advice and decided to get up and go do some photography at around 6:30 in the morning just when the sun is coming up and there is light. I was walking down a path that is active with tourist and some animal life, there is even a wooden tower that stands 70 feet in the air down the trail where you can see directly over the forest perfectly. As i was walking down this trail, i was walking towards

New Images from Myakka

Myakka River State Park is a very wild place. You can see the real Florida the way it was 1,000 years ago before Europeans came to the area. Wildlife is in abundance and visitors are guaranteed to see alligators sunning on the banks of the Myakks River. Deer and wild turkey will walk right by you and pay no attention. That is one of the reasons this area is a popular destination point.

There are 38 miles of trails that leed through the park, covering a varity of terrain. You will go into flood pine forest, then emerge into a vast Savannah of grass that stretches to the horizon. Then, find yourself in a cypress swamp dome. There is nothing boring about the hiking trails in this area.

Once in camp, you can settle back to relax and enjoy the night around the campfire stargazing. You can, like we did, go out looking for cryptids with your cameras and see if you can get an image. With two recent video sightings, and one confirmed class sighting on the BFRO data banks, this area is prime. The video below is Kevin and I after several hours of night exploration around the Mossy Hammock primitive camp area.



Bigfooting in Myakka State Park

This video is from Bill Brock. I gave him a ride from Tampa International Airport to the park. You will see me briefly in the beginning. It is the first tim Bill and Stacy Brown jr meet.

Skunka Ape video shot outside Myakka

A lady leaving Myakka State Park video taped what she thought was a bear. She had heard about the Bigfoot investigation and wondered if was the Bigfoot. There ARE NO BEAR in Myakka as one of the commentors points out. The park will verify that. This animal is walking on two legs the drops down. The location is at the brudge 1,000 feet from the park entrance. It likes Myakka was the spot.

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.

Wild turkey and uptight people in Myakka River State Park

On this video exclusive to this blog you will see a pack of wild turkey. Myakka River State Park is just full of them and they don't seem to worried about humans, considering there is no hunting in the park. I was filming these birds Saturday waiting for Stacy Brown to show up so we could begin with Skunk Ape follow up investigation of the YouTube video when this lady stopped her car and began talking to me. Another car pulled up behind and started yelling in a New York accent about "move the car."

You drive all the way down to Florida to see wildlife in a beautiful park and you still act like you are in the city. Chill out, relax, and smell the roses. Pulling off the road is what you do down here. You want to get out of your car and see the nature. It worked the other day when a group of people saw a Bigfoot chasing after deer. This lady has no clue and you can hear her yelling on this video. Its just a few feet from where the skunk ape video was taken.

A New Look At The Myakka Florida Bigfoot Or Skunk Ape Film

This film stabilized and enhanced version of the famous Myakka Florida Bigfoot shows things are putting this video clearly out of the hoax category. Like the Patterson Film, much detail can be seen that a couple of frat brothers would not have cared to place in the film in case it was computer enhanced years later. The film is still of unknown origin. I have been ask because I am from Florida is there was a back story to this video. I have not been able to find one. That is why it has been considered a goof. In fact, at the end of the video you can hear people talking and see a young man to the right of screen...very strange.

The Myakka "Skunk Ape" Photographs

The letter below was sent to the Sarasota Florida Sheriffs department in 2001. The lady that sent it said that this ape like creature was stealing apples off of her back porch at night. She said she lived near Myakka River State Park and she wondered if someone had lost an orangutan. The letter was signed anonymous.

This event gained much publicity in Florida when it happened. The photos look real and the foliage is that if a palmetto which is only found in Florida. Many people think that it is an orangutan or a new species of Ape. I believe that the episode is a hoax. I will explain this in a subsequent post.

You must admit, this would be a very scary thing to find in your backyard at night. There is a possibility that it is real, but I seriously doubt that. I have lived in Florida all of my life and can spot the real deal.

Stay tuned for a future post that will prove that the Myakka Skunk Ape Sarasota photos were a fraud. I do believe the skunk ape exist. It was just not this one.
