Could Florida Have A Lake Serpent?

The central part of Flroida has hundreds of lakes, many connected in a vast channel way that makes them popular for sports fisherman.  In Polk county there is a legend of a sea monster that lives in Lake Clinch south of Lake Wales. 

M.F. Hetherington wrote in his 1928 "A History of Polk County." "The Indians many years ago insisted there was an immense serpent in this lake. In 1907 residents of Frostproof declared they had seen the monster, and that it must be 30 feet long - this, too, before post-prohibition liquor was known."

In 1936 a fisherman was found dead in the lake after being mutetalated by an unknown animal (aligator?). 

There are manatees in the sunshine state, but they live in salt water or the marshes where the fresh and salt water meet.  The saltwater crocidiles also share that environment.  Descriptions of the lake monster is that it has a long neck, a dog-like head, a humped back and flippers.  That sounds like a marine dinosaur.

"In the United States alone, researchers list 222 lakes and rivers as alleged cryptid habitats," Michael Newton wrote in "Florida's Unexpected Wildlife."

This is a very large and beautiful lake about a 90 minute drive from my house.  I think I will get over and investigate.

Loch Ness Monster 'Beyond Doubt' Real: Scottish Police Chief

 Documents released in the last week show that the Sottish authorities took the matter of a Loch Ness Monster seriously.  They were concerned for its safety, and the security of the lake.  A famous photo taken in 1934 is called the 'surgeon' picture taken by Kenneth Wilson.  The image is considered to be a hoax because the scale of the photo is all wrong.  It must have been something very small floating on the surface.  The image shown here is more recent, and shows a very large animal with a long neck sticking out of the lake.

"That there is some strange creature in Loch Ness seems now beyond doubt, but that the police have any power to protect it is very doubtful," a Scottish police chief wrote back in the 1930s in a newly released letter expressing his concern that a London man might harpoon Nessie. The 1930s constable was only one in a long line of Scottish authorities who've sought to protect Nessie from harm, cryptozoology expert Loren Coleman says, and they were still doing it as recently as 1999.

Coleman knows because he was all set that year to search for Nessie in a homemade sub with a man who was absolutely sure he had bumped into the monster in a dive 30 years earlier. They planned to take along a harpoon to take a DNA sample. But Scottish authorities nixed the trip, showing, Coleman says, that officials have taken Nessie more seriously than they let on. “There’s always been the sense that quietly…they were taking the reports more validly. There was a serious acknowledgment that the Loch Ness monster exists,” Coleman tells the Christian Science Monitor.

The Loch Ness Monster has been seen for decades in this lake. One of the theories is that it is a prehistoric plesiosaur that is moving from loch to loch. That is why is not seen often surfacing for air, which he would need to do about every 8-10 hours. The idea Loren Coleman had would be the best way to to this. With modern color sonar, they could get up close to anything that was underwater of large size.

Oil Spill In Gulf Of Mexico Could Spell Disaster For Florida Economy

     There is a massive oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico that is now the size of Pinellas and Hillsborough county Florida combined, and growing.  It could bring disaster to the Gulf Coast region. This needs to be put under control fast. Part of the tragedy in all of this is that we need this technology of offshore drilling for our economy and National security. Period. Anyone that says otherwise has a death wish. Lets not turn this into a Three Mile Island. Lets put it to bed now.

     I went to Cypress Point Park in Tampa today during the lunch hour. Many people use this place to picnic, fish, swim, read books in the shade, and just relax and take it easy. I often come here to just walk the shoreline and meditate. It helps relax me. I hope it does not become covered with oil, dead fish, and birds

Some Evidence Found

Just an example of some of the evidence I have found.  For a subversive element, I have found more than most field researcher going.  I don't just have anecdotal stories that change over the years, I have things you can put your mind around.

 MEASURING THE HEIGHT OF SKUNK APE

 

METHODOLOGY

I hope you have enjoyed this sample of Florida Skunk Ape Evidence...much more to be posted on this blog.  Stay tuned.

Epistemology, Metaphysics, Mars And Modern Bigfoot Research

Systems of knowledge are creations of the human mind (in metaphysics, constraints, perhaps). Millenniums of philosophy, logic and science have paved a way for man to rise to heights unimaginable centuries ago.  Branches of science, such as, zoology, botany, anthropology and so forth are constantly making discoveries and increasing our body of knowledge as humans.  They follow a subset of rules that guide their research into a rational outcome of their theories.  Unfortunately, in 2010, epistemology, metaphysics and crypto-field research are now blending into a pseudo science or ad hoc science, that has become more entertainment then serious in content.  We are losing our scientific grounding.

Man has formed what is called the scientific method. In its most simple form:

SCIENTIFIC METHOD

1. Ask and define the question.
2. Gather information and resources through observation.
3. Form a hypothesis.
4. Perform one or more experiments and collect and sort data.
5. Analyze the data.
6. Interpret the data and make conclusions that point to a hypothesis.

     7.  Formulate a "final" or "finished" hypothesis

Lets follow this method with the classic case of Santa Clause and his rain deer:

1)  If we wanted to know "Can rain deer fly?"  we would write down all the reasons we think they can. 

2)  We would gather all the information we could by going out to where the rain deer were at and seeing if they could fly.  Even though we don't see any fly, we could still base our research on the myth and folklore that surrounds Santa and his gang.  

3)  Our hypothesis would now be "Rain Deer do indeed Fly."

4)  Our experiment would be to gather 12 rain deer and throw them off of a very tall building.  

5)  We now have 12 dead rain deer.

6)  Even though all 12 crashed to the ground and died, we could still conclude that "on this particular occasion these rain deer chose not to fly."  - (this totally ignores a basic law of logic about not arguing from the general to the specific.)

7)  We now conclude that the world is populated by thousands of flying rain deer, and wonder why we and our followers are the only ones that believe it. 

AD-HOC SCIENCE

Does any of this sound familiar?  The example above is called ad-hoc science and that is a mistake some well intended people do when they are trying to prove something that is more of a belief, or myth, then a fact.  They put the conclusion up front as if it were the hypothesis.  It is not.  It cannot be supported.   

This method is what's at the heart of ALL conspiracy theories.  They believe what they believe, and will only look for facts that support their conclusion that they presented up front (JFK assassination, Locke Ness Monster, UFO's, Global Warming, Obama is a Communist...and so forth)

This sadly, is what Bigfoot people are doing.  They are not alone.  

THE RED PLANET

One of the greatest examples of poor methodology is the scientist Percival Lowell in the nineteenth century and his belief in the canals on Mars.  Dr. Lowell had mapped out the surface of Mars that showed large metropolitan areas and how they were connected by an intricate array of canals, obviously for drinking water and sewage. He went so far as to submit scientific papers to renowned journals to prove his theory.  Some scientist were skeptical, others thought he was on to something.  A few decades later better optics on telescopes showed that this was all an illusion.  There were no canals.  How can that be?  He saw them.

What Dr. Lowell saw is what we would call 'blobsquatches.'  Simply a way that his mind was matrixing the blurry images he saw on his telescope. 

METAPHYSICS

A period of time after getting into bigfoot research, many fall into the 'metaphysics' trap.  This is not to different then UFO guys that start dwelling on abductions, implants, UFO's in the Bible and this kind of stuff.  Bigfoot guys start focusing on structures, writing books about sasquatch social structures, gong to conventions and talking on radio about things that are way away from being proven.  

The researcher soon learns of how difficult field work is.  The time, expense and dedication is just to much for most people to maintain consistently.  That is why it is easier to go on radio and talk about what your imagination has now convinced your mind that you saw sasquatch six years ago walking across a trail.  

There is so much of that kind of stuff going on, I wonder does anybody ever carry a digital camera with them? 

MODERN RESEARCH

Today, big money can be made off of something that cannot be presented to a University as a serious research paper.  The method would be all backward.  That is why the entertainment aspect of it is what is making money.  

Look at shows like Monster quest and the major 'Bigfoot' blogs to see who is behind them.  Are they scientist?  If they are, challenge them on their motives.  Where is the University paper that should be in the hands of a anthropology department?  It does not exist.  There is a reason for that.  They are afraid of what could become of knowing something simply is not real.

That is why no serious effort is being made anymore by the community to find bigfoot.   Ultimately you would have to conclude at some point that he does not exist.  That is what a real scientist would do.  

He would not continue to research something that cannot fit into a scientific methodology.  How would he even approach the effort?  He would conclude it does not exist.  

That would indeed kill the goose that lays the golden egg.  

THE GUYS ON THE FRONT-LINE

There are people like myself, tcsjrbigfoot, Derek Randles and firstbillyjack are at the forefront.  We have no real backing other You-Tube commenter's.  None of the 'big guys' will support us even with the amount of intriguing evidence that has been accumulated. 

I have found a number of tracks, taken a fantastic photo of the skunk ape and recorded the howl of something that cannot be identified as a known animal.  I am on my own, but am moving in. 

To put together a real expedition would be costly and who wants to upset the apple cart anyway.  The myth is real - Just leave it at that.

Now the weather sucks, and I am at home waiting for better conditions.  Not much I can do about any of this stuff now.

Montana Bigfoot Encounter Glacier National Park

Montana has multiple Bigfoot sighting reports especially from the Northern counties such as Glacier, Flathead and Liberty. One such encounter was at the Gaynor's River Bend Ranch. Located in Whitefish, Montana Gaynor's River Bend Ranch offers vacationers and guests a chance to experience outdoor adventure, Montana wilderness and western hospitality. They can now add to this list of adventures the chance to see Bigfoot. Host Nancy Gaynor shared her details of her own Bigfoot encounter. She recalls that a guest was playing the oboe, later that night there was a growl followed by an unpleasant odor.

These are signs of a Bigfoot in the area so Nancy spoke with a local Bigfoot expert, Robert Morgan ("Soul Snatchers") who told her these sounds and smells are often encountered when a Bigfoot is near. An odor of rotten eggs as well as an unfamiliar growl or other animal like sound is often reported. He went on to tell her that braids in horses manes often appear where one of these creatures has been sighted. He suggested she place a feather in any braids found as a gift for the Bigfoot. Nancy stated that one of her horses did have a braid in its mane and she placed a feather there overnight. When she checked the next morning it was gone.

Glacier National Park is one of Americas most wild and beautiful landscapes. The photographer Ansel Adams shots large format images of this park that are now in the library of Congress. There are many legends of the Bigfoot in Montana and not unreasonable that the big guy is hanging out there. The idea of a guided tour with Robert W. Morgan, and other experienced guides, appeals to me.

Florida Skunk Ape Evidence

The video below contains some of the audio howls of the Florida Bigfoot that I recorded on expedition at night.  Many people believe the sasquatch is mostly a nocturnal animal.  The video also has some of my opinions about  my research and how I may be heading in a new direction to reveal my evidence.
