Rick Dyer's Bigfoot raking in the cash

Rick Dyer has his Bigfoot on display in Houston. He is charging $20 a head and the first day 800 people paid up. That's $16,000. Good work if you can get it. I need to get out of the taxi business. Below are photos from Houston.

Cool new flashlight

This flashlight was a gift fro George and Kevin. It is about 5 million candlepower and can really light up the woods at nightm It uses lithium 123)batteries that last forever. This is an awsome new tool for nighttime Bigfoot operations.

Skunk Ape prints found in Florida

Something with a 15 inch foot walked into the water and out the other side. Consider this was the location of a sighting that was video taped, I believe the Bigfoot left them behind. This is Stacy Brown Jr, the world champ of Sasquatch hunting. It was a lot of fun working with Stacy, Dave, and their team.

Congratulations to Stacy Brown Jr and Dave

I called Stacy last night as soon as the Bigfoot Bounty show ended to tell him how happy I was for him. There was a tremendous amount of work involved and he and Dave were up for the task. I think his victory shows how far along "swamp" researchers have come in this gig. The photo below is his guys working with us.

Serching in the Skunk Ape territory

You had to climb over this to get into the Skunk Ape area

These are some of the images from the outing I did yesterday without Kevin. I really needed him because this area was vast and you could walk for miles without seeing anyone or any sign of civilization. Since this area is so vast, it will be worth us coming back to it.

You had to climb a metal staircase to just get into the area. There are wild, free range cattle that are in here. They will harm you if you run into them. So, don't go alone like I did.

You can see how it goes to the horizon

I did find some prints and lots of animal prints. You have large fields, swamps, and hardwood hammocks in here which is an awesome array of topography. My time was limited, so I do need to come back when I can spend most of the day.

One of the prints that was found in the swamp area

Recorded howls in the Florida swamp

I recorded these howls in a state controlled watershed at night. This was the same area I offered to take Matt Moneymaker into on this same date three months ago ( I never heard from him). He would now have great howls for his show. It was the beginning of migration season and the permanent population wad getting excited about their friends return. I recorded several on this video.

Skunk Ape audio may be a "howler monkey"

screen shot of Floirda Skunk Ape website about my video

A video I did while in the Green Swamp at night recorded something strange. I compared it to MP3 recordings of other known animals in Florida, and could not come up with a match. I stated that I believe its a Skunk Ape. If I was a minister, I would claim it was the Lord. I do not, however, hold myself up to the same standards as Rome. But, what you hear is real and I recorded it.

People who want to lie about me when they were not there and have no idea of what I am doing, Carolann of the ISRTUSA, state this audio is fake. It is because of people like her, that others think I am a hoaxer. My group does not hoax and she has no idea what the hell she is talking about. I worked a few hours in the afternoon one day, actually twenty minutes was all the time we spent together. Based on that she thinks she knows me....the video is below. You will hear something very scary.



"Hay buddie you might be a researcher or something elsew I dont know. I work with Primates every day and the next time you want to record a bigfoot use a sound that not as recognizable to somebody like me as a howler monkey. And if you made that recording in florida then youmust have been recording next to the miami zoo. get a life!"...Mike Cave

Mike Cave … He wouldn’t have to drive to Miami , we have Lowery Park Zoo in Tampa and Lex Salisbury has a primate safari in the Green Swamp ( Polk county ) and a ranch of exotics north of Dade City ( still part of the Green Swamp ) and Barnum & Bailey have their Elephant breeding and research facility in the G swamp . So glad you caught it and posted !!!

Some of us researchers that ” work ” the Green Swamp / Richloam area know about these things and take even more of a precaution to label what we see or hear as Skunkape/Bigfoot related because of these animals being in the area ! Some of the “researchers ” take this stuff and ” run with it ” …Carolann

What she wrote is defamation of character. I was nowhere near these spots and until now did not know anything about them.

Covert Bigfoot operation

This is me pulling out my old camera that I used in field research for almost a year before I got an upgrade. I used this the other day to set up a stealth 'trail cam' situation by using the video function and leaving the area for over an hour. I got some very interesting sounds of things moving around.
The video below has a running length of twenty minutes - twice that of YouTube. That is part of the reason that I am using Dailymotion for many of my video uploads. Plus, they do not take as long to load, and the quality seems to be somewhat better. They say that if you are using HD - you will get HD with them.

Trail Cam Video In Watershed Area

Skunk Ape prints found in front of trail cam

One of photos above shows the field of grass in the Green Swamp were the camera is aimed. The other shows the prints we found that we believe are from an upright walking animal. The trai of prints went right through this grass field.
This area is surrounded by cypress tree's and swamp water. You will get your feet wet coming out here. There are also gators and snakes. This is probably why most people in Bigfoot are armchair people (Sharon Lee) because this could be dangerous.
Tim Fasano and Kevin Kehl will be back at it today. Stay tuned.

Spike TV Bigfoot Bounty shutting down fast

With no real evidence and outlandish theories being offered, Spike TV is doubling up episodes to get rid of it.

A 1936 photo of the Yowie

In 1936 a photographer profiled in this video took what many now think was an authentic image of the Yowie. The shooter was not aware of the Yowie until after seeing the image. Not sure about this one.

Sasquatch in Alberta Canada

Why is this video not getting more buzz? It may be part of that veal outdoors adventure companies publicity campaign but I am having difficulty finding any info on it. It looks real to me. The way it moves with tremendous speed and athleticism is not your normal hoaxer. You would think Phil would do a breakdown of this instead of some silly Mark Anders video.

Citrus Park Bigfoot search

Checking it all out

I was investigating an area that was a hotbed of Bigfoot activity 20-30 years ago. This area is north of Tampa and used to be country and cow pasture but not anymore. It is now becoming very populated with traffic. Many of the wilderness areas are still here because they connect to a large watershed area that provides water for north Tampa. You could hike for miles without really running into anyone. You would, however, have to cross roads which we believe Bigfoot does in the middle of the night.

I went into this area the other day and was surprised at the conditions. When you got into it, suburbia disappeared. It got quite and I would have thought I was in the Green Swamp. I did find a golf ball. Strange, we were nowhere near a golf course. I did find a swamp but could not locate any prints. The seven minute YouTube video below will show you what a good time I had.

In the winter the cypress trees lose their leaves and we got line of sight.

Trail cam images summer 2013

These are some of the fantastic images we got off of trail cam A from May 13, 2013 - November 13, 2013.

Full spectrum night optics

We are using a full spectrum camera (modified) that allows a search party to move to the tree line in total darkness by using thermal lights. The images are captured on a camera screen at base. By getting up close we can avoid the obvious shortcoming of "Finding Bigfoot" that only uses FLIR from a distance. Our method puts a researcher close to whatever made the hot reading then bathes the squatch in thermal lights getting a spectacular image.

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.

George McGee recounts his Lake Tarpon monster sighting

A video still from Lake Tarpon

Tim,
I have seen a lake monster. It was in 2006. Two friends and myself were in my 1979 Mohawk 17 foot canoe. We paddled out a short distance into Lake Tarpon from the dock at John Chestnut Park and turned south entering Brooker Creek. After going quite a way past the bridge at Eastlake, we turned around and headed back the way we came. We passed a large alligator which I estimated to be around 11 or 12 feet in length. Minutes later as we paddled our overloaded canoe low in the water, the man at the bow says, “George, look!” and points to a spot just off the Starboard bow only 15 feet away. Looking past him I saw a black coil, like a serpent perhaps 12 inches in diameter, undulating at a quick flowing pace out and back into the black, tannin stained water. The shiny black skin had the look of an eel rather than a snake. 5 to 7 feet of the creature rose and fell in the 3 second sighting before the whole mass submerged. I would say at least 30 feet of eel swam by. The man in the back of the canoe could not see past us and missed out on seeing it. There is a legend of a Lake Tarpon monster, Tarpie. My assessment: A remarkably old eel, probably a female no longer able to reproduce with a hormonal abnormal growth disorder.
