Florida Bigfoot Organization

I will be doing live updates from the field Sunday

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. 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.

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.

 

The Florida watershed area at sunset

 

You must be prepared to do this type of research. I was not on the first night. On the second day of my overnight expediton I was more prepared. The first night I heard tree breaks and movement. My vidoe camera ran out of juice and I had to just use a still camera. I did miss out on some activity.

The second night, I got down to the waters edge and left a continuous camera for about twenty minutes. I did not want the camera that far out in the jungle after it got total dark. I may not have been able to find it. So I returned, and studied the results. I heard, at least twice, a howl or bark. At the end you can hear one good, clean knock. 

The area was more active the night before, but at least I got something.

Bigfoot sightings keep rolling in for Tom Biscardi In Indiana

NOTE: I just spoke with Tom Biscardi on the phone. He is in London England filming for the Sci FY channel. There is some big project he is working on and he wanted to say merry Christmas!

The Bigfoot sightng reports are now coming in fast and furious from Paoli, Indiana where famed Bigfoot hunter Tom Biscardi is investigating since last week. Tom started getting emails in early December from people in south east Indiana about strange sightings (almost all of them close to peoples rural homes).

"After last week's story on a possible Bigfoot sighting near Paoli Peaks, investigator Tom Biscardi said he was flooded with calls and emails from other Organge County residents reporting their own sightings.In all, he shared , 36 local people have contacted him. 

"Something is going on out there," he commented.  Paoli News Republican

This reminds me of the early 1970s when sighting reports were coming in from Boggy Creek Arkansas. The network news even talked about it at night. Those sightings cemented Bigfoot into the American lexicon. And a movie was made about that time period. 

Many of the people Tom has talked to this week are very credible. They are educated, own property, have families, they are down to earth, real people. Biscardi is very impressed with them.

This area has reports going back for years. One lady said she was on a hiking trail a few years back standing near a pond when she heard a twig break. She turned around and got a two second glimpse of the creature as it went back into the woods.

She shared her experience with her father and he told her about his encounter years ago when a creature was seen hanging around a fire pit.

Sasquatch Evidence Found in Florida

This Bigfoot track was found in the Ocala National Forest in 1985. It was found by a Lake County Deputy Sgt. D. Kirby. This Deputy had found several other tracks during this period. The location was near a Federal construction site working on new forestry roads. The trakcs were 17 by 6 1/2 inches. It was once believed that the Florida Skunk Ape was a smaller version of the Bigfoot. It seems from this cast and footprints that I have found, that the Canadian Sasquatch may indeed be in Florida. This is a copy of the old newspaper report.

It is because of the historical nature of skunk ape sightings in Florida near the Ocala National Forest that I will be focusing much of my expeditions in the next few months.

Florida Bigfoot Organization is Formed

This weblog is about the Florida Bigfoot Organization. This org will be devoted to real and scientific research of the Southern Skunk Ape along the Gulf Coast. My goal is to advance on a National level with organized expeditions. The response for such a thing has been immense.

Anyone willing to offer their time is welcome in this organization. We will need people who have experience in science, hunting, animal identification and hiking and camping skills. We will take this to the woods and off of the messge boards. Are you ready?

The Southern Bigfoot is considered to be smaller then it's Pacific Northwest cousin. It has gone thru several evolutionary adaptations to cope with the swamp environment. It has longer hair to ward off bugs and a smaller size so it produces less heat to live in a hot environment. It is believed to migrate regionally in the south as the weather changes. 

The late spring and summer will give us an opportunity to hook up with resources up north to go on weekend expeditions wit other groups. This is just a possibility and we are certainly a long way off from this. The economy needs to get much better. 

I have received many request from just average people who have an interest in the outdoors and Bigfoot who want to help out. Many of these people are experienced in the woods and have new ideas about how to approach research. There are no official members, only people that I have worked with in the field and who may want to be included in future outings.

Modern research seems to have reached a dead end with the same old call blasting and wood knocking not yielding much evidence (it did not for me last week in the Green Swamp). A new paradigm might be developed by cooperation among people in which the money factor has been eliminated. 

No money will change hands. I may even cater most of the events for I like to cook chicken and burgers over an open fire and backwoods camping allows that to happen. 

Just wanted to let you know what my ambition is for a new way to get this research on the road and off of the comment sections of blogs that accomplish nothing. 

I have scheduled an expedtion in Central Florida for Mid February. It will be over a three day period but you don't have to stay all three days. Primitive camping may not be for you and this is one good way to find out. Anything you could do to help, is more then welcome. 

I hope this takes off and something becomes of it like real evidence instead of folk tales.

Sunset on the green swamp during a Bigfoot Expedition

 In the area I worked last week day operations only set you up for what will happen after dark. The forest road I had found was going to be the focus of my night on the second day on Bigfoot expedition. let me tell you, when it dark out here, it gets dark man. I am sure you can sense from this video how creepy it would be.

I did multiple howls out here, but did not really get much back. I now thinking going out here and yelling like an idiot may not be the thing to do. Perhaps just listening with recording devices all night would be more productive. Anyway, it is very exciting and fun. I just need to bring a friend next time.

Floirda Bigfoot Expedition set for December 9-11, 2011 in Green Swamp

I have applied for the permit I will need to go onto state land in a watershed area where we had good results last time. We were in there a few months ago and I know we were being followed along the tree line at sunset. A member of our crew had a class A sighing about an hour before sunset and I know they were watching us. This time I will be alone and will pursue them deep into a natural prarie at sunset. I will be camping out in a primitive area. The best part is I should be alone. Wish me well.

 

Skunk Ape Trail Head Shows Recent Activity

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.

Hike Out to the skunk ape camp I found last year and a new paradigm

I have been waiting for months to get back out to this area were I am sure the 'skunk ape' has set up a home. The heat and the mosquito's have made getting back into this are impossible since last March. I made a good attempt this Saturday and found that they have been adding on and taking over this area. Stay tuned for more exciting videos

Many people believed this was a hobo camp. But that is unlikely because of the tremendous distance they would have to cover to get too it. They would prefer something just off the road. I hope this series of videos will show a real discovery of how they live and where they are likely to habitat.

A Bigfoot Game Trail and Fall colors in Florida

Fire red colors in Florida

I did not think we got these type of colors in Florida during the fall season. I was out hiking today in a SWIFMUD area and got these shots of color, including some fire red. I thought you could only see red in New England. I was excited to see this display by nature.

I understand you must have the right combination of rain, light, and temperatures for months to yield these colors. Cool, I guess we did it just right this year. This means the leaves are going to soon fall off the trees and our visibility will return. Line of sight is important for field researchers. Animals can hide under the cover of foilage.

A sight I have not seen in four decades

I found evidence today of many game trails that are frequently used. The large trial I was looking for has been made by very large beast was still there. This is the trail that I know the Florida skunk ape is using to get down to the river. I would not be pigs because they don't drink out of a river with a tall berm.

Bigfoot Evidence: Tom Biscardi says he will put the Bigfoot mystery to rest

Recently, Tom Biscardi launched an expedition being filmed by English documentarians for BBC that he claims will finally put the Bigfoot mystery to rest. "“Hopefully this will be the time we put an end to this thing," said Biscardi.

The general feeling among critics is that Biscardi is a hoaxer. They said he's been caught plotting a few hoaxes in recent times.

In 2005, he went on the radio show “Coast to Coast AM” claiming he knew the location of a captured Bigfoot close to the Oregon border and would air footage online via webcam for a small fee. But on the day footage was slated to be released, he said he’d been “hoodwinked” by a woman in Nevada.

Then in 2008, Biscardi held a news conference in Palo Alto with two Georgia men who claimed they were holding a Bigfoot carcass in their freezer. Biscardi confirmed the creature’s authenticity, saying he had measured its feet and touched its intestines. But soon after, the Georgia men admitted the pictures were nothing more than a Halloween costume stuffed with animal parts.

What does Biscardi think about critics labeling him a hoaxer? “When you’re on top of the mountain, they all want to knock you down,” Biscardi said.

Biscardi hopes this expedition will allow him to find Bigfoot and finally silence his critics. The expedition is going to be focused on Arkansas, Florida, West Virginia and Illinois, where Bigfoot-related activity has recently been reported.

Tom Biscardi is a personal friend of mine. He is in Florida at this moment and is working areas in the panhandle. His team has done its homework and they are in prime areas. Some of the best cryptid guys in the state have helped him out on this. Tom has called me wanting to know when I can get up there. I can't. Work is too much at this point and I just can't make it. I really wish things were different. They are not and I must deal with reality.

A Sand Pine Area

Florida has a diverse ecology. It is not unusual to be on a trail in a swamp, then go through a wooded area, and then enter a sand pine forest, with visibility tot he horizon. I was in a sand pine forest over the weekend. I may have picked the wrong time of year. There is no shad in these areas and the sun was beating down.

There is a primitive camp area deed into this track for backpackers to spend the night. Because of the heat, I never made it to that area. It is controlled by SWIFMUD, so I may be able to get gate access to it. That would work out great. I could then use the camp as a base for night operations. With the visibility in the area, the night could yield results. 

I hope to have some kind of thermal by the spring of the year. So much the better. It will take time but I will eventually have all the gear one day.

Animal Planet Producer Of "Finding Bigfoot" Says Todd Standing Is Credible

Photo Courtesy Todd Standing

Keith Hoffman  of the Animal Planet show "Finding Bigfoot" claims the reason they went up to Canada was they believed the claims of Todd Standing were credible. They sited that there have many reported sightings in the Banff and Kootenay National Park.

Hoffman could not say if they found Bigfoot in the seven days they spent in the region. He did say that his crew used high tech gear in their search, and gathered many witnesses of Bigfoot. It sounds like  they did not find much.

His crew is from the BFRO - Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Personally, I would like to see outsiders from this secret society used in the show. They claim Renae Holland is a PHD scientist. Funny, when you Google her name you find nothing about that, search hits are only related to this show. I find that odd.

Anyway, the premier of Finding Bigfoot will be on October 15, 2011. I don't know which episode will be first but they seem to follow the same theme.

The great American sage Will Rogers once said the only thing he knows is what he reads in the newspapers. Well, this is what I just read in a Canadian newspaper.

Metro - Banff-area Bigfoot reports ‘credible’: Animal Planet show: "The show features a group of four seasoned members from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. Executive producer Keith Hoffman said many claims sent in are rejected but not those of Sylvanic, a group seeking definitive proof of the Bigfoot species.
“We haven’t ruled out their claims, if we didn’t think they were credible we wouldn’t have gone,” Hoffman said. “What we found was that numerous other people have had encounters ... they were called together in a town hall meeting.”
Sylvanic head Todd Standing said he expected the researchers would find people with sightings similar to his, noting he has come within about 65 metres of the creatures."

Scott Marlowe Meets Tim Fasano In Florida

Tim Fasano and Scott Marlowe

I had lunch today with Cryptozoologist Scott Marlowe Of Florida. Scott and I have been friends on the Internet for some time, and it was time we met.

Scott has always been supportive of my research, and has defended me against false claims made about me. He has taken the time to talk to me often on the phone, and has got to know me as a friend. He is a very good guy.

Scott is a college teacher, writer, and crypto investigator with some new and novel ideas about finding the Florida Skunk ape. I was looking forward to meeting Scott Marlowe.

We met at a diner in Winter Haven and shook hands. I felt like I had known him for a long time and that this was not the first time we had ever been together. We were very comfortable talking about anything. Scott has been around this game for a long time and knows just about everyone in Bigfoot. He warned me about the politics, and trolls, and how to deal with them. Scott had a club sandwich with slaw and I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries.

Scott is also a film maker, and has appeared in many documentaries about paranormal stuff. He has nine published books and has been doing field research for decades. He is still active and very motivated to find the big hairy guy in Florida. He also believes eco-tourism is the wave of the future and experts are needed as guides.

Scott has a new book out called The Cryptid Creatures Of Florida in which Charlie Carlson does the introduction. The book not only deals with the skunk ape and the Sasquatch being in Central Florida, but also ice age animals that may still be around. As you know, I have put forth a theory that the giant ground sloth may still be in the jungle.

We layed out a map of Florida and Scott showed me the migration patterns of the skunk ape and the stationary locations of permanent colonies. Working smart and not waisting you time in areas that are not colonies is what a researcher needs to do. His input was invaluable to me. My game has now gone to a new height because of the information I received from Scott.

We will be working together in November in a known transitional area to catch them on the move. It does seem people don't want that to happen and are trying to undermine the outing. That will never happen. We will go private if we have to and protect our research and locations. We do not need gate crashers.

Florida Swamps Are Full Of Water And Wildlife

I was out today for the first time in a month. The swamps are full of water and the rivers have crested along some points. I did not see Bigfoot but I got some cool wildlife images. I would like to share them with my viewers.

A rivervine swamp in  Central Florida

One of the things Bigfoot researchers look for is an abundance of water and wildlife. This area had it all. I cold not get too far into it because of how high the water was and the thickness of the vegetation. That is all going to change in the next few months as we enter "skunk ape" season in Florida.

Timothy Powell Is The "Cryptoflorida" Troll Of Facebook

T. G. Powell is "Cryptoflorida Cryptoflorida of Facebook fame. We found out who the "Bigfoot Buster" was last year; you knew we would find you out asshole.

Powell claims to be a life long cryptozoologist who always maintained an interest in the supernatural. Born in the heartland of Illinois, he got an early start watching the late night monster movies on television every weekend.

He began his journey as an author writing many articles for outdoor type magazines (he claims). He says he is an avid hunter, fisherman and outdoors-man, he always stuck to the thought, "A day in the woods is better than a week indoors." 

Now residing on Florida's Gold Coast (Saint Petersburg), he says look for the many other spine chilling works dealing with the super natural and cryptozoology he will be producing in the months to come (He has not written a thing in two years. He has been too busy going after Tim Fasano).

This man is a fraud and should be considered dangerous. He is the "unibomber" of Bigfoot. He lives in St. Petersburg Florida and post on Facebook under the name of "Cryptoflorida - Cryptoflorida." He also uses naems on Youtube such as "Ben Dover," "E G Moore" and others. He like to hide behind his keyboard as a troll. He does no field research, and does not hunt. He is a frustrated individual and finds it necessary to actively go after people he thinks are a threat. I hear he has two freezers in his home, and one of them is full. Until now, his identity has been unknown. 

He claims to be a writer. All I can find is that he is a self published author who uses a vanity press to print his stupid books that read like a mongoloid retard wrote them. Check out his link here. If you are familiar with the Frankenstein myth, you will see how lame his title is to the only book he self-published.

He has been cyber-stalking me for the last two years on the Internet and he recently found out that I had an arrest in 2003 for a misdemeanor that was dropped for lack of evidence. He is now informing everyone he can about it. He is disrespecting the name of Julianne and I will not stand for that. 

You have been made asshole. I will track you down, and take you into court. You are a pathetic piece of shit. Start running now you cocksucker. You once said I had an ugly face and I was fat. You are a fat, bald, short, thin mustached total flop with women. Now that I see how horrible you look, I know why you chose the horror field. 

Anyone that can provide me with his address (so I can serve legal papers) please, let me know.

Bigfoot Communication Along Power Lines

On the Animal Planet hit show Finding Bigfoot, it was mentioned by the BFRO founder Matt Moneymaker that Bigfoots use powerline routes as pathways to move into new areas without detection. When the finding Bigfoot crew was in North Carolina they were investigating two prints found on a cul-de-sac. Moneymaker noticed the high tension wires behind the houses. He said they home had been built on a Bigfoot transition zone. This may be true but I believe the powerlines may be used for something else. I believe they are used for communication.

They have discovered that the high tension lines can sent knocks for miles along these systems. It is sort of like a "Bigfoot Cell Phone." Many researchers have reported hearing these sounds on powerlines. I have no doubt about that because I have heard and recorded these communications on video and posted them on YouTube.

On Saturday I got an opportunity to get into an area near the Hillsborough River that leads into the watershed area going into the Green Swamp. I can hear two knocks and a metallic scrape. Many people are  now figuring these creatures out.

 

Scott Marlowe, An Expedition, And Some Bigfoot Business

Skunk Ape footprints

Scott Marlowe of Winter Haven Florida has found the same size skunk ape footprints that I have photographed during my bigfoot research. Scott searches in the Green Swamp were I have had success finding prints. It is also an area I recently worked with Tom Biscardi..

Scott is working with a group in planning an expedition to south Florida when the weather breaks after the hurricane season in November. We talked on the phone about logistics, and possible areas that could yield great results. Secrecy is of the utmost concern and the area will not be compromised by letting others in on it. We do not want the troll and drama queens, that are on Facebook, showing up for this. That is why there will be a meeting point, at which, you will then learn the location of the search area and then we will move out from there.

You will need to have camping equipment to go on this outing and be prepared to spend three days in the field. This is not for the armchair guys. The ground is not the most comfortable thing to sleep on. You will be, up most of the night for operations.

Marlow is a trained anthropologist and has been in cryptid research for decades. He gave me his opinion of the Erickson project and he is not a fan. he agreed with me - everything about this project is wrong. Scott said that if those stupid "blobsquatch" photos that they have put out are any indication of the quality of their work, they are in trouble. Dr. Melba Ketchum is not a forensic scientist. 

Scott also said he was dissapointed in Apollo 18. Watch it at your own risk.

Below is part of an article that Loren Coleman did on Scott on the Cryptomundo website:

"In Florida, tales of swamp apes are about as old as the Suwanee River. Likewise, around the world, stories of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, the Abominable Snowman and similar creatures have been passed down for centuries by indigenous tribes, settlers, hunters and others.
Some believe the stories. Many don’t.
Then there’s Marlowe, 55, of Winter Haven, who not only says he has seen swamp apes but spends his time looking for more.
On his recent outing in the Green Swamp – an expanse of nearly 50,000 acres in Polk, Lake and Sumter counties – Marlowe spent a week in an area northeast of Lakeland. His goal was to photograph or videotape a swamp ape, or at least collect evidence such as hair, footprints or DNA samples."
Scott’s a good guy. Check out his website, the Pangea Institute.

Hurricane Irene Has Disrupted Bigfoot Operations

There has been a large amount of rain and wind from Hurricane Irene even though Florida was not in this hurricanes path. The ground is saturated and I have decided to wait for next weekend. No big deal. The people up north have their electricity out and cities are flooded. Things can always be worse, I guess. 

Florida has been very lucky in the last few years. Our time must be due. They say there is a storm forming off of Africa right now. It is headed due west, and of course, it is too early to tell how strong it will be or the direction it may take. 

Perhaps some good will come of all of this. Maybe the economic demand for the rebuilding job will stimulate the economy up North. Its not like the Obama plan has done anything. We will take work anyway we can get it. 

You can check out my partner blog Skunkape Florida. It has lots of additional information,

Satrurday Is The Day

My YouTube fns will be gald that I will and shoudl be back in the Floirda swamp this weekend. Stay tuned for more good skunk ape stuff.
