Finding Bigfoot showing a hoax video tonight

2012-01-29T16:28:00.001-05:00

I confirmed from Tim Stover today that the video by "Squatchmaster" being aired tonight is the same one that was debunked as a hoax. Unless, he has come up with something nobody has seen yet. The hoax he did was lame. It was in the snow at Saltfork state park in what is called the sasquatch triangle. In his video, you can clearly see one of his kids pulling on a tree and yelling. Tim Stover and Bigfoot Books Blogs exposed the video as a hoax. Does Matt Moneymaker not know this? I would like to think they are setting him up as a hoaxer (a new theme in this show -Todd Standing was on last week) to highlight real research standards. Squatchmaster is not really known for much else, and has no real body of work. I am looking forward to this show. Oh, way to go Tim

This video I shot two years ago is featured on the Facebook Bigfoot site FB/FB. They beleive it shows a 'blinking' Bigfoot that you can see from the 1:41 - 1:53 mark. They call it the blinking bigfoot. I had a very active day that day.

Dog with his head out car window

A fare of mine had a little dog and the back window was down. Sure enough, he stuck his head out the window. I see that all day long. The wind must feel good on their face.

900 Subscrbers on YouTube!

2012-01-24T01:50:00.000-05:00

I just picked up my 900th sub on Youtube. Someone must be watching my videos. I watched the Canada episode of Finding Bigfoot last night and I agree with Bobo about Todd Standing - he seems like the real deal. His watcher theory seemed to support what was going on in his video. I really like the guy.

The were very cold Sunday night and a warm campfire was needed. After cooking some food, we headed out into the darkness with IR night optics. We split up into a wide front and maintained contact with walkie-talkies. Two hous into it, Keven called us saying he was seeing something he had never seen before. It was demon eyes looking back. When I got to his location, I caught the "eyeshine" on video. The video will freak you out.

2012-01-15T13:32:00.000-05:00

We will be searching the swamp and camping out in the freezing cold. We have a therma imager and are in an area of known activity. This image is from the river trip where we found a print inland after goin ashore.

We are on the river headed for a lake nobody goestoo. We should get a good view of the shore line. I HOPE THIS PICTURE LOADS.

Floridabigfoot.org to show live updates from the field Sunday during night operations

2012-01-14T13:54:00.002-05:00

A night optics camera (we will be using thermal imaging)

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 on my blog Floridabigfoot.org. 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.

I hope you will tune in either before "Finding Bigfoot" or after to see what is going on. You will have to go to Floridabigfoot.org to see it. We are a new and exciting group of Bigfoot researchers with goals of finding real evidence.

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.

I believe anyone interested in nature should get "squatching." Check out the beauty you are missing in the video below. Check out that deer at night. Wow! How cool was that!

Skunkape expedtion this weekend in Florida

2012-01-12T14:41:00.002-05:00

I will be working this weekend in the field with Enigmatic Anomalies on a Bigfoot skunkape expedition. We hope to find something and will have tons for the website

How I know Bigfoot Ancestral DNA is not human

2012-01-10T22:30:00.000-05:00

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.

"Bigfoot will never be captured alive" Bigfoot Live Talk Show

2012-01-10T13:34:00.000-05:00

On this video I explain why I don't think a Bigfoot will ever be the subject of a lab study. That is because he will never be taken alive. His evolutionary programing is just that good.

Enigmatic Anomalies TV interview of Tim Fasano on Bigfoot: Part one

2012-01-09T12:52:00.000-05:00

This is part one of the TV interview of Tim Fasano. It was cool working with professional guys that work in production for a major cable channel.

Scenes from a new Paranormal TV show

Tim Fasano on the "Enigmatic Anomalies" TV show

I recently shoot an interview for talk show at the studios of Enigmatic Anomalies TV show (on YouTube soon). The four guys that started this project live in the Tampa area and work for a major cable TV network on the production end. Paranormal activity have interested them all of thier lives. Now, with the skills they have at TV production, they are putting together a new show. This was the Bigfoot episode interview phase.

At first, it will be on YouTube to see if they get any real interest in it. Where it goes from there is unkown. They have the editing ability and production skill to do what anyone else is doing. They have great gear (thermal imagers and such) and I am very interested in working with them.

George, Tim, and Kevin on the spooky set.

They have promised me nothing, other then a slick DVD when this is done. Cool. I will take it.

I know a lot about lighting and photograpy and was blown away with the tech they used to create that "late night TV talk show" look. I was very confortable workig with them and I look forward to other projects.

We will be doing an overnight operation soon fiming live in the field looking for the Skunk Ape. I can't wait to use that thermal.

Enigmatic Anomalies studio may be haunted

2012-01-05T16:19:00.000-05:00

Is this building haunted?

UFO Digest posted an article today about the old cigar factory in Tampa Florida where Enigmatic Anomalies has their offices and studio, and the strange going on's that have been reported here. Considering the history of the building, and the rumors that it is haunted, and the fact that a paranormal investigation and production company has their studio here, that would be a good thing. Were they reading our minds and posted it on the day they would interview Tim Fasano in studio? Strange things are going on.

Paranormal investigation team in the old cigar factory

A. Santaella & Co. Cigar Factory sits on Armenia ave in the old West Tampa area. This part of Tampa was the neighborhood to generations of immigrant workers in the cigar factories of Tampa. They rolled the cigars by hand. It was a labor intensive business that employed thousands who made the finest cigars in the world. Many visiting celebrities, such as Babe Ruth, would come to the A. Santaella & Co. Cigar Factory to buy their cigars.

George of E.A.R.S

The building was closed for decades after Fidel Castro took power and the tobacco was no longer imported to Tampa. Many people were put out of work and that may have created negative energy.

It is rumored the building is haunted. Ghost hunters have investigated this building, and one even recorded an EVP. That is an Electronic Voice Phenomena that many believe could be the voice of the dead.

Enigmatic Anomalies has their studio and offices in this building. When they were doing a promo for the upcoming possible TV series on paranormal they recorded someones voice that was not in the room at the time. They have put the video up on YouTube.

They have plans on developing and producing many shows on paranormal topics. They take an open mind and try to debunk when possible. They are hard working guys that currently work for a major cable TV channel. This is a project they started with the idea of starting their own business. Why not? Paranormal TV is hot right now. They ratings on cable are off the chart. Just look at the success that Finding Bigfoot is having.

This is some raw video edited by me to show what is being found in the Florida swamps and wilderness. These footprints are very cool. So is the thing crashing through the jungle.

"Enigmatic Anomalies" TV show with Tim Fasano skunk ape episode promo

2012-01-02T21:11:00.000-05:00

George, Kevin and Rob all work for a major cable TV network in the production end and they have formed a new company called "Enigmatic Anomalies.' Their work is professional and slick (as you can see in this promo). They are producing a pilot for a new cable TV paranormal series. The main emphasis will be on Bigfoot.

This company is based on a lifetime of interest in the paranormal by these three guys. Unlike many shows on cable, they use objectivity and reason in how they approach this topic. Everything is not a Bigfoot and there is 'no squatch in these woods.' That is what an amateur will do; this series does not insult your intelligence. They only want you to think about these matters in ways you may not have.

My new friends are masters at lighting, sound and stage. I know you will be very impressed by what they are doing. There is so much more to come. Please watch this short promo video and see for yourself.

The best part is my house is six blocks from the studio and these guys all live in the Tampa Bay area. Home grown talent.

Will a bonfire draw Bigfoot in at night?

2012-01-01T13:54:00.000-05:00

My campfire last month

One of the things I do during night Bigfoot hunting is light a good bonfire. I have been told that it may make Bigfoot curious and he will come to check it out. That may depend on what he associates it too.

It could mean food, but I have never heard of a Bigfoot coming into someones camp raiding it for food. I have heard of them coming into a camp at night after everyone has turned. Maybe researchers should fake going to bed then be on the lookout for something scavenging the camp. Having a camera trained at the fire may be the ticket.

I am only guessing for I have tired the bonfire but am unsure if it has done anything. It has allowed me to cook meat and vegetables over the fire. That is always a good thing. Bigfoot hunting can work up a good appetite.

The New York tree Bigfoot was also shot in Florida by Tim Fasano

2011-12-31T18:23:00.000-05:00

Robert Pridjem at Lembo Lake Campground in New York State may have recorded a small Bigfoot in a tree. There were many people there for camping and fun. One of the groups sitting around a campfire recorded some strange behavior in a tree. It may show a baby Bigfoot swinging around. It seems to also show an adult, as well as, the juvenile.

The Animal Planet show Finding Bigfoot will profile this video in the season premiere on Sunday night. This video is not the only one ever taken of a Bigfoot in a tree. Tim Fasano recorded one in the summer of 2009. He posted it on Youtube and many experts examined it and confirmed that there was something in the tree.

What Matt Moneymaker will point out Sunday night is how long the arms are on the creature. I want you to notice how long the arms are on the creature that I shot in a tree in Florida three years ago. Chuck007 and Joe Black did a great job in analyzing this video

Largest amount of Bigfoot prints ever found in North America

2011-12-31T15:56:00.000-05:00

Tractor pull by Florida wildlife commission

An area in the Green Swamp that we have been working for three years has yielded fantastic results. The Florida Wildlife and Game Commission will often drag line with a tractor to till earth for the purpose of recording animal prints. This way they can get an estimate of local animal populations. This time, they may have gotten more they thought. They may have captured Bigfoot prints.

A research group Enigmatic Anomalies has formed a TV company. They followed my lead and went into a specific area and found the mother load. There were adult and child prints that stretched for about 1,500 feet. I have never heard of such a find.

This discover will be featured in an upcoming pilot for a cable TV series about paranormal activity.

This production company will be featuring me on the segment that deals with the Florida Skunk Ape. I am very excited about the things that are going down right no. We will do our first shoot Tuesday in the field just before sunrise and Thursday in a studio interview shoot. This will take place in a very spooky studio at night in an old Tampa Cigar Factory to the set the right mood. It is said these old buildings are haunted.

Enigmatic Anomalies TV show working with Tim Fasano on the Skunk Ape episode

2011-12-30T20:07:00.000-05:00

I will be working in the field and doing studio work with a Tampa Florida based Paranormal research group that is filming a pilot for a cable TV series. Enigmatic Anomalies is the name and they have an office and studio in Tampa. Things are moving quickly and I am very excited about this project. Unlike "Finding Bigfoot" we actually find Bigfoot evidence.

I will be working with a new TV show Enigmatic Anomalies

2011-12-29T17:20:00.000-05:00

Areas we go into

I will be filming an interview for a new TV show called Enigmatic Anomalies. They will deal with various topics of the Paranormal. I was contacted by them a few weeks ago and have spoken with them on the phone. They have a studio in Tampa about a few blocks from my house.

These guys are Bigfoot field researchers and have gone on many expeditions. Since they have been watching my videos on YouTube, they have narrowed their focus to the areas I go into. These areas are often infested with alligators and warnings are posted at the trail heads.

I hope to form an overnight camping using much of their high-tech gear. They have some good stuff. With the weather in Florida now getting cooler, it would be the perfect time to do this.

They have a Facebook page and a website both called Enigmatic Anomalies.

I am very excited about this because this may become a big deal. If not, I should get some great video to use on my site. They have agreed to let me use videos and photos and such.

Keven is my contact person and here is a photo of him o the trail of Bigfoot in the Green Swamp of central Florida. They have posted many photos of their outings for Skunk Ape on Their Facebook page. They also have found a large concentrated field of Bigfoot Footprints unlike anything I have ever seen. I am wanting to get out there as soon as Friday. Check out these prints.

They look like the prints I found two years ago near this area

A Massive treasure trove of Bigfoot prints found in the Green Swamp of Florida

2011-12-27T16:42:00.001-05:00

Enigmatic Anomalies website

A research group I am associated with in the Tampa Bay area has found large Bigfoot prints in the Green Swamp of Florida. This may be one of the largest troves every found in North America. They found dozens of them following a turned up clip of dirt. This find is the most important find ever in the State of Florida, for it shows that the Sasquatch may indeed be here. On their website Enigmatic Anomalies they credit Tim Fasano for leading them to this location. (Click their link to see photos that will blow your mind) They have validated the prints I have found. I thank you guys.

Keven Thomas Kehl, George McGee and Rob Boggus have formed a production company that will soon be making documentaries about a variety of Paranormal topics. We will be filming the first episode next month about the Skunk Ape when they utilize their creepy, but high tech studio in Tampa (six blocks from my house). They may sell this episodes as a pilot to a Cable TV network. Everything is in the works now and they are very interested in my research and have been inspired by it. How cool is that?

The guys were camping in a SWIFMUD area (just as I do) when they came upon a tractor pull by the Florida Wildlife Commission. There was an extraordinary series of tracks unlike anything I have ever see. The most I have found (look on my banner) have been about two or three. This massive find includes dozens.

They had casting gear with them. You can see in the photo the cast setting.

Their website says "It was the impetus of Tim Fasano's work with Keven's thoughtful vectoring that found this place at this time." They were in a truck and Kevin was able to deduce a theoretical range of an elusive Cryptid.

Photo courtesy of Enigmatic Anomalies

They could determine that there were two individuals involved. They thought it could be a mother and a juvenile. They also found tracks up ahead that did not match the first ones found.

Lesson number one in Skunk Ape hunting:
Always have a tape-measure or yardstick.

They did use a twenty dollar bill and quarter to give scale and took many photos while casting them.

Lesson two:
Bring a pedometer to estimate distance. The tracks they found went on for 1,500 feet.

At the campsite they talked to a couple that had been there a while and they said only a Boy Scout troop had been out there. I doubt if any of the kids have feet this big.

I'd say there's a Bigfoot in these woods

Lesson three: Interview any potential witnesses early in your investigation so you don't jump to conclusions

The video below shows how cool their production ability is and why I am excited about working with these guys in the future.

Return to the Fasano Photo area

2011-12-26T20:12:00.000-05:00

I revisited the area of the sighting in the SWIFMUD area where I caught a Skunk Ape on film. I thought the camera setting was on video, but it was on photo. Anyway, the image was clear and good. A critic told me what I had captured was a tree stump. He insisted that I go back out there and see if at stump was there.

I went back out there (stepping over the viper snakes) and there was no tree stump sticking out of the ground. There was nothing out there that could have caused an optical illusion. My conclusion was that I had photographed an upright bi-pedal animal.

Does the Freeman Bigfoot video show an infant?

2011-12-26T13:48:00.000-05:00

The Freeman Bigfoot video is considered the second most important video in Bigfoot history. It shows a large, upright, hairy creature walking with deliberate, heavy steps. There are many that believe this may indeed be a Bigfoot. The resolution was about the best you will get from 1994 technology.

Paul Freeman was a watershed employee in the Pacific Northwest who had found a series of footprints that he casted. He sort of became famous and once appeared on Good Morning America showing off some of his cast. It was on this show that he admitted he had faked some of them.

Dr. Meldrun has the largest collection of Sasquatch footprints in the world. Some of his castings are from Paul Freeman. Dr. Meldrun believes you should not throw the baby out with the bathwater because some of them may indeed be the real deal.

The strangest thing of all of this is the film may show the Bigfoot picking up an infant at the end of it. Would this be a detail that a hoaxer would add in? I don't think so. Why bother when you don't even know if anyone will see the film anyway.

There is something about the Freeman film that I cannot dismiss out of hand.

Christmas Morning

2011-12-25T14:23:00.000-05:00

Christmas candle and cards

This is my little Christmas setup on the mantle. For the first time in years, I have had a really nice Christmas. This time of the year can be stressful and depressing for many people who find themselves alone or loved ones have recently passed.

I seemed to have gotten over many of the things I have had to deal with and I'm moving on. The holidays give us a time for repose and reflection. It is important to stop and consider where your at in live and what has real meaning for you.

I did finally get to open the three large boxes that have taken up space in my living room for the last couple of weeks. The presents were sent by "Sandy Claus." That is Sandy Fasano who is married to my Twin brother (there are two of us!). Sandy is the kindest person I have ever known. My brother really tripped over the brass ring with her.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to all and have wonderful new year.

Nightfall on the watershed..is Skunkape out here?

2011-12-23T23:00:00.000-05:00

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.

Merry Christmas to All

2011-12-23T16:12:00.000-05:00

I would like to extend a Merry Christmas to everyone who sees this blog and those who don't. The seasons, for me, are a time to reflect on my blessings, and imagine what is possible with my life.

All of us have gone through hard knocks. We just need to know there is a cosmic order that will somehow be with us during it all. Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year.

From the "Somebody up there likes me" category: At the United Cab Christmas dinner today I won the door prize. They said it was a gift certificate. it turned out that it was a $250 Visa card. How about that. Maybe somebody up there likes me after all. You could not have known that from the last few years.

Indiana sighting reports keep rolling in near Paoli

2011-12-23T13:44:00.000-05:00

Blobsquatch or Bigfoot?

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).

Kentucky has been active in recent years but now Indiana seems to be the place to be. The area of this recent rash of activity is north west of Louisville and in a remote, rural and farmland area. There are plenty of areas for the big guy to hangout.

"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.

What happpened to tcsjrbigfoot?

2011-12-23T05:40:00.001-05:00

tcsjrbigfoot seems to have taken his youtube videos down Does anyone know why? He says trolls, burnout and bad blood with some Ohio guys was too much. He had a lot of new gear and will soon be on FINDING BIGFOOT. This does not sound like a guy ready to throw in the towel. What gives?

Biscardi Investigates Bigfoot sighting in Indiana

2011-12-22T17:25:00.000-05:00

Trail cam image from Paoli, Indiana

Tom Biscardi and his Searching for Bigfoot team are in Paoli, Indiana were there was a recent sighting. There was also a trail camera image that shows something interesting. Paoli is a small town in Southern Indiana close to the Louisville Kentucky.

Biscardi is there looking into the Bigfoot sighting of December 9th and 10th. A man named Steve Bradley saw a nine foot tall creature standing in his backyard after his dogs alerted him. His wife, the next night, heard strange howls coming from the wooded area that lines their backyard.

These are the type of sightings that occur often in rural America. They many times go unreported because they don't want people to think they are nuts. Often they not report to police, but to Tom Biscardi on his website. Unlike 99% of the Bigfoot researchers going, Tom will drive across the country to investigate and interview the witnesses. When he got the report, he was on his way with he crew.

Biscardi 2008

Tom already has a report and pictures up on his sight at the Searching For Bigfoot webpage. He usually waits until he gets home, but the results are going very well and he wanted to get a head start on it.

I have worked with Biscardi in the field and I know he has the energy, ambition and drive of a man half his age. He is in good health and determined to find Bigfoot. He has single mindedness of purpose.

Most of the hate toward him is irrational or driven by people protecting their vested interest. I don't know of anyone that puts in the time and miles that he does.

A Bigfoot Jaw Bone found in 1935 may contain the answer

2011-12-20T14:53:00.000-05:00

A Bigfoot Jaw Bone?

They say we have no Bigfoot body or DNA. But do we? On display in a museum in San Diego is a very large jaw bone that belongs to an Ice Age primate that was up to ten feet tall and 1,000 lbs, known as Gigantopithecus and he was big man.

The working theory is that this creature may have migrated to North America from Asia. They are still believed to be plentiful int he deep, remote regions of the Pacific and Canada North West. Numerous sightings over the centuries have confirmed that something is living out in the remote areas.

There are now more sightings east of the Mississippi then in the West, showing, perhaps, migratory patterns are continuing with a warming earth. Reports from the swamp areas near the Gulf of Mexico detail a beast that is smaller and with longer hair, believed to evolutionary adaptations to environment.

The jaw bone in the image above should be DNA tested (if there is any) with samples from the Erickson Project for comparison. If not this one, others. That would introduce a more scientific aspect to the project and get the attention of mainstream science.

If it matches, you could say there is a body. At least a jaw bone.

"Some diehard Sasquatchers speculate that Bigfoot may actually be Gigantopithecus, the largest primate to have ever walked the Earth.

Discovered by renowned paleontologist Gustav von Koenigswald, Gigantopithecus was thought to have evolved during the Pleistocene Era, and lived throughout Southeast Asia

Fossils led scientists to believe that the creature stood close to 10 feet tall and weighed a whopping 1,200 pounds. Thought to have gone extinct due to severe climate change, ape-man advocates say Giganopithecus may be alive and well, and hiding in remote regions of the world, like the Himalayas, Siberia, the swamps in the southeastern United States and the Pacific Northwest."
'via Blog this'

There is no evidence science will except unless it can be measured and tested. The spoor of footprints and howls in the night are just not going to get it. They do, however, allow Bigfoot researchers to know they are getting close, and to continue on the quest.

Florida Bigfoot Organization is formed

2011-12-19T17:24:00.000-05:00

www.floridabigfoot.org

This new 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 with 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 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 expedition 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 of Florida

2011-12-18T16:56:00.000-05:00

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.

Florida Was Recently an Island (end of last Ice Age)

2011-12-17T14:54:00.000-05:00

An island once existed that is now Florida. The island had a fifty mile radius between present day Tampa and Orlando. Only recently have scientist discovered this fact. It took phosphate mining to uncover this.

In the 1920's companies began mining for phosphate in Polk County. They began to find very large bones. Strange bones. In fact, they found teeth for every kind of shark known on Earth. Woolly Mammoth, saber tooth tiger, rhinoceros, giant ground sloths and all the post ice age creatures were found here in great concentration. The find was so large, they now call it "bone valley."

Near the end of the last ice age, sea water poured back into central Florida and the higher ground (only 300 feet above sea level) formed an island for the next 10,000 years. The ice age creatures could not migrate north, so they stayed here until the water receded. Most of them died before that happened.

Last year I went to the "cryptozoological" museum in Mulberry Florida. The fossils they had on display will blow your mind.

POWERLINES AND BIGFOOT: A new theory in Bigfoot research

2011-12-17T05:11:00.000-05:00

The video above was taken by me in November of 2010. It records sounds coming from a power line system that could be a possible form of Sasquatch communication. I was working with a member of a local Bigfoot research group. This area was a spot that they had been observing for years and they had heard activity in the area before. They made no claim as to what that might be, but it was interesting anyway.

The video records the genuine reactions from the two researchers...Fasano hearing this for the first time and formulating a theory on the spot..Cryptoseeker bursting with excitement and acting a little leery of the high tension wires up above. She then explains to Tim the working theory her group has developed.

(She would subsequently state that this video was a hoax. She would imply that Fasano staged and misrepresented it somehow. She now claims it was only hunters, miles in the distance, that we were hearing. Her reaction on the scene shows otherwise).

Jack Barnes of FB/FB ripped this from Youtube when it was up (I did not know that). Jack has done a good amount of research on the importance of Powerlines and how Bigfoot can use them to hide out, communicate, and travel undetected even in heavily populated areas such as New Jersey!

Many people first heard this theory when Matt Moneymaker on the show Finding Bigfoot explained it while in North Carolina. You can see other researchers have been onto this as well.

I once had this video up on YouTube but was told they would sue me if I did not take it down. It does not make her look bad...it makes her look genuine. Since I took it down she has had free reign to tell everyone on Facebook that I was hoaxing her that day. I have all seven videos taken at that powerline (32 mins of video) They are unedited and do not show any hoaxing.

The matter WAS over, but now that it has resurfaced on Facebook, I felt a need to comment. I truly hope the past does not keep hanging around. I am over this.

She does state on the last video that there are hunters down the line and they may be moving toward us. But she does not state that is the only reason for what we encountered.

I will stand my ground on this one. Jack of FB/FB published it, I am only using an embed code. If someone has a problem with that, go complain to Jack. I am sure, in a nice way, he will tell you to go piss up a rope.

Proof Of Territorial Behavior ..The Owl and the Bigfoot and lack of comments

2011-12-16T15:32:00.000-05:00

Note the configuration of the branches (compare below)

On May 31, 2011 I photographed this owl from across the river at the same campsite I was at last week on my Bigfoot hunt. The same owl came flying in and landed almost exactly on the same tree branch that gives a "birds eye" view of the watershed area (This owl was first spotted by Tom Biscardi who was working with me at the time). What is cool is this how animals will hang in the same area. We could use this little bit of knowledge in our Bigfoot research.

Taken with a Nikon D50 DSLR

The owl in the bottom image was taken on December 8th, 2011. That was seven months after the top images were taken. I believe it was the same owl. Tom Biscardi took a photo of it and featured it on his website searchingforbigfoot.com under the Florida Bigfoot expedition. Now how cool is that!

I don't get any comments on this blog. Why? I get thousands of page views a week, and many repeat visits, but nobody leaves comments. That has got to stop. I don't mean to 'beg' for comments but the purpose of a blog is to get them. I will post more on this blog only when I get a comment. If the next one gets a comment, I move on. If no more comments, no more blog. Take it somewhere else and stop exposing me to this type of treatment. It is not right. I get more then enough traffic to have a good conversation going on. Perhaps I should just talk about what everyone else is doing, like the successful blogs do, and shut up about field research. Show some respect - leave a comment.

Men In Black?

2011-12-16T04:29:00.001-05:00

A couple of Bigfoot guys (not field researchers) have recently talked about MIB's involved in Bigfoot. Their interest stems from a KGB experiment on ape men during the Cold War. I guess it was JANET flights that brought them to North America. There was also an ambush of sasquatches in 1967 by a paper mill owner eliminating the pest from his property (get off my property!!). This is plot line in bad B movie. Stop it folks with this M.K. Davies J.J. Johnsen flying saucer stuff. Get out in the woods and do research

Hunters vs Researchers in the Bigfoot world

2011-12-15T17:37:00.000-05:00

Last May a group of Bigfoot hunters and researchers came together in the swamps of Florida. It yielded a class A sighting by Mitch Waite of Arizona. Waite has recently put up a YouTube video about the clear differences between hunters and researchers. I would put Mitch in the researcher class, as with me.

The people we worked with in Florida were hunters. They took aggressive action and were ready for anything that may come out of the woods. Their style was not mine.

I go unarmed. I have no weapon. I come in peace and only want to communicate with the primate. I do not want to harm it in any way. Bagging a type A specimum is not my goal.

Others want fame and money for this. That has never been my objective. That may be why I am so protective of the methods used and calling out the hoaxers in the field.

Any method will work. You just have to get out into the woods and figure out your own style.

Bigfoot Christmas Campfire under the Stars and good wishes for all

2011-12-14T16:31:00.001-05:00

To all that read this blog and go to my YouTube channel I wish you a very merry Christmas and happy holidays and New Year. One of the best things about being a Bigfoot researcher is going deep into wooded areas and having a nice campfire under the stars. I was in the Green Swamp last week, and it could not have been more beautiful. The Christmas season is here and I hope all is well with you.

Tim Stover Bigfoot Thinks Outside The Box

2011-12-13T18:23:00.000-05:00

tcsjrbigfoot has a video on his youtube channel that he is catching heat from people that don't know what the hell they are talking about. They are accusing him of hoaxing or conveniently having certain cameras on tripods or using a FLIR in the daylight. This shows how ignorant they are.

1) I am a FIELD RESEARCHER. I always have my camera on a tripod. You can fold the legs in and use it as a mono-pod for ground stability. If you see something, you can revert to a tripod for a motionless shot. I don't have all the fancy gear that Finding Bigfoot has, but I do have a Nikon D50 DSLR that hangs around my neck. If I need too, I will shoot that as well. We are not every tipped off about when something may happen; we just go with it with whatever camera happens to be in our hands at that exact moment.

2) DAYLIGHT: Patty was filmed in daylight. Nothing more to say.

3) FLIR in Daylight: The United States Navy developed FLIR to detect heat losses along conduits that transported super heated water. It was vital to avoid a nuclear meltdown that accurate measurements be taken. This was done with lights on. There is nothing about FLIR that says it must be used at night. Just go to FLIR.com and look at the video.

You people are ignorant and wrong for going after Tim Stove from your living rooms. Get out in the field. The problem today is that most people do not do research. They just want to observe like they are watching porn.

Meticulous Detail Of an adult specimen Bigfoot

2011-12-13T16:16:00.001-05:00

Looks real to me!

What is believed to be the only Bigfoot sculpture to scale resides in a man's living room. A meticulously detailed specimum with hair and eyes is found in the Ozark town of Norfolk.

Clifford LaBrecque, 73, used fiberglass and fur when he had the sculpture commissioned in 1976 after having a Bigfoot sighting behind his wood pile. The stature cost more then $9,000.

LaBrecque says it is "accurate to the inch."

The model stands over eight feet tall and is an exact replica of what LaBrecque says he saw on the night of June 18, 1977. He states his Bigfoot fits many of the descriptions he has heard through the years.

The encounter happened around 10 at night in the backyard of his home outside of Des Moines, Iowa. He states there were nightly visitations for over a week, all behind the wood pile. Evidence of chewing and eating were found the next morning.

He finally decided to shoot the animal to get incontrovertable evidence for the existence of Bigfoot. He positioned his car and waited with a rifle. The animal never came back.

"A second witness to the Windsor Heights incident has long stopped talking about it because of the skepticism, ridicule and laughter the story evokes from listeners, he says.

"You have to understand just how hurtful this can be to the people who have seen Bigfoot," LaBrecque said. He says he has been the subject of extraordinary skepticism for his creation of the Bigfoot model before he actually saw Bigfoot. To LaBrecque it is simply good fortune that the sighting confirmed for him all that he had heard about the creature. It enabled him to better endure the scorn people bring to his story, he says.

LaBrecque said he is resurfacing now in the Bigfoot culture only because of a news reporter's call and renewed interest in the creature that he says was sighted four years ago in a rural area near West Plains, Mo.

"They're here in Norfork," LaBrecque said. "I have talked to people who have seen them."

"This is what they say it looks like," LaBrecque says, pointing to his model."

The Forbidden Zone along two rivers at deep camp

2011-12-12T16:30:00.000-05:00

In the forbidden zone

The forbidden zone is the watershed area for both the Withlacoochee River and the Hillsborough River. I actually believe I found the demarcation point for both rivers. That is where this image above was taken. I was in the forbidden zone and it was one hour before sunset and I was alone. I was miles from nowhere and there were no cyber-bullies, posters, commenter's on blogs that use the work "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch" in their handles even though they have never been in the woods but want to rip me for taking risk.

Looking into the Forbidden Zone from the camp

Before sunset, I could hear tree breaks coming from this area when I was back at camp (about 200 feet away). I was able to forge a trail along the river bank and find an area of cypress knees and a fallen tree that if you could, you would find your way directly into the forbidden zone. Do you think that stopped me. No. I put a camera and went back to camp and let it run. There are growls recorded and I will release them soon.

I am alone at this campsite in the Green Swamp

Keep in mind this is the very area a hiker in this Green Swamp tract vanished a few years ago and his body was never found. Subsequently, the area was closed to the public and it has remained that way since.

The Jim Holder Bigfoot Video Colorado

2011-12-12T15:18:00.000-05:00

In 2007 Jim Holder and his son captured on a cell phone camera a video of an upright, large hominid walking in front of a tree line in Estes Park, Colorado. This area was near the Rocky Mountain National Park. The use of a cell phone gives it somewhat of a poor quality.

Many Colorado newspapers picked up the story and promoted it as if it was a real Sasquatch encounter. As usual, the Holder's were accused of faking the video to gain fame. This is too bad because it does keep people from coming forward with real video tapes.

In the months that followed, they claimed they may have been hoaxed, but that the video was real. Analyst suggest the creatures penis is visible and it is circumcised. I don't know how you could gleam that amount of detail from this low-resolution tape.Other researchers believe the movements of the animal are consistent with known Bigfoot gate. It is unlikely Jim Holder could have hoaxed this video.

"I Do think There's a Skunk Ape in these woods"

2011-12-11T14:58:00.001-05:00

Bigfoot campfire at midnight

I was on my third night of this Skunk Ape expedition and had been doing my Bo Bo impersonation of Bigfoot calls. The sand prairie I was on showed much evidence of high animal activity. I did not see any tracks that looked primate in nature but I heard a sustained howl the other night in this area (of course the camera was off).

There was a moon, however, and the sand seemed to be reflecting star light as well, to give some degree of visibility. Yes, star light. I was so far from civilization that the stars could be seen in a way I can not describe. It was beautiful. It was hard to imagine the danger I was really in. Not being armed, anything could have attacked me.

The moon after sunset from the camp

The video below records a response to my howl and other noises from the forest. I was not able to get the same howl I had heard the other night. That is the way this business goes. Luck is very important and in the great expanse of the wilderness, luck may not always be there.

There are hundreds of videos and photos that I am looking at trying to decide in what order to show all of this. I am very busy. Most people don't realize how much time is necessary to be a good Bigfoot Researcher.

I'm Back From The Skunk Ape Expedtion

2011-12-09T18:30:00.001-05:00

I am back from three days and nights in the Green Swamp of central Florida. It has been fun, and an experience I will never forget. The opportunity to camp out 'deep field' miles from civilization. was something I have been dreaming about for months as Florida was in the grip of extreme heat. Now, the weather is better and I took advantage of that.

The camp area I had was on the bank of a river leaving its watershed. I was the only one out there, and when the sun went down, things started to happen. There was activity across the river in the 'skunk ape zone'. This is the area that is now closed to the public because of a death that took place years ago. The death was never explained. It is still a mystery.

The video below will give you an idea of the visuals and the sounds I encountered in this historical expedition in the Green Swamp. I am back and very tired with tons of videos to post up in the coming days.

December Bigfoot Expedition is launched

2011-12-07T18:08:00.001-05:00

A view of the swamp from the forest road leading out to camp

I received a permit from SWIFMUD to go into a very primitive area that overlooks a closed, if not, forbidden zone of the Green Swamp. I was hoping to be alone and I was not disappointed. I was alone at the camp and that meant I could research my way without any interruption.

The 40,000 acre tract is now mostly swamp after plentiful summer rains. This is good. The swamp ape needs swamp to survive. I took many photos and videos on the first day to show people what the environment is like now in the Green Swamp.

I am at the midway point of all this and the weather has been crazy. We had record highs yesterday of over 83 degrees, tonight, it will be in the 40's. This is difficult to deal with, but expected in Florida this time of year.

A large campfire to draw skunk ape into camp

Last night I recorded clear tree breaks in the forbidden zone, and a howl that sounded more like Matt Moneymaker then anything. My video camera seems to have picked all of this up.

I can't tell you have scared I am. I have not been sleeping much at night. There is too much going on.

With the right type of equipment, the source of that howl could be located and found. It could take weeks or months for dedicated researchers to do this. You would have to have the time and the money. Things that right now are in short supply for me.

Dave Shealy links to Tim Fasano

2011-12-03T17:09:00.001-05:00

Dave Shealy of the Skunk Ape Musium and Reseach Center in the Everglades Florida is linking to Tim Fasano on his Blogger site. How cool is that? Dave has been a Skunk Ape hunter for decades. He invented Skunk Ape research. His research center in the Everglades receives reports from the national park rangers when they receive calls about Skunk Ape sightings. There was one when a Skunk Ape crossed I-75 and caused a major traffic jam. Dave has many high rez photos of the creature that he has taken over the years, including a pretty good video taken at close range of the Skunk Ape. The video below was a feature on Unexplained Mysteries a few years back.

The Issue of Poisonous Snakes in Florida

2011-12-02T15:02:00.001-05:00

On the look out for snakes

Poisonous snakes abound in Florida. All five of the major vipers live here. Plus, the invasive species that just don't belong here, and are very bad for the Eco-system. I have had a close encounter with many of them. Hence, my trepidation on going any further into this pine area. The pines were thick and compressed when I stood on them. Rodents are all over this area, so are snakes. You really have to watch your footing down here. Stay on dirt roads and trails. Only go off trail when you have good line of sight. Snake boots would be a good investment.

The video below shows an encounter with a Viper when a Bigfoot research group and I were getting out of our vehicles. Darkness (which I will be facing next week) makes this kind of work very dangerous.

Alone in the "Land of Giants"

2011-11-30T18:34:00.001-05:00

The primitive campsite I will be at next week (I got my permission today from the state of Florida) faces a river that was closed by SWIFMUD after a hiker vanished, and was never found. Bigfoot researchers for years witnessed strange things in there, and thought a find was close. Florida had other ideas and the area has now been closed since 2006.

No problem. The campsite area happens to look right at it. There is a river, so I will sound blast at night, and do call sounds, and aim my video. This area is vast, with miles of game trails, wooded areas, large prairies and swamps.

This is something I have been dreaming about for some time. My new wallpaper shows the swamp prairie were Biscardii put the peanut butter on the side of the tree when we worked in here last May. You can see the real beauty of this area. No matter what, it should be fun.

I have a van now which I will be sleeping in. I would be too vulnerable in a tent. Skunk Apes could rip it apart and kill me. At least in a van, they would have to bust the windows out and I would have time to start the engine and take off. Gee...explain that to insurance - giant apes busted out the windows and caused massive body damage.

Surprise At The Trail Head

2011-11-19T12:20:00.001-05:00

When I reached the trail head for the game trail that I believe is used by the Florida skunk ape, I saw something down the forest road. I immediately ducked into the trail and hid for a while waiting to see if it would walk by the opening....OR COME IN!! No such luck.

I went back out but it seemed to be gone. I did get a machine gun series of stills from my Nikon and when you zoom in, it seems to show something upright and black crossing the dirt road. This is the same spot where I video taped a large deer a year ago. Something is going on down there.

In the video below you can see some of my gear and what my thoughts were at the time.

The video below shows that it is still too hot in Florida and it will still be some time before I will be able to get back down to the river and check out what happend to that structure I found a year ago (there could be more of them).

Anatomy Of A Bigfoot Game Trail

2011-11-17T17:02:00.001-05:00

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.

Large Game Trail Could yield results.

2011-11-16T17:38:00.001-05:00

On the way out to find the animal trial that was made by very large beast, I found this area in the open that looked like something very large has been moving through often and creating much damage. In tracking, you learn that Bigfoot or Skunk Ape will do things in a big way. This area had be trampled like a stampede had moved across.

An area with much activity

I took a picture of fresh break on a tree limb. That has to be new by only a few days. The grass was pushed down and the earth kicked up. It could be pigs, but when I combine this with the nearby trail that is very wide that elephants could go down, I have to consider everything.

Fresh tree break

Keep in mind that this area has not been worked in months because of the heat and the bugs. Animals have had their way back here. Trial cams would be the best way to find out what is leaving this destruction back here. You would not have to leave them up long. I believe this is nightly activity.

The trail I was looking for was only a few hundred feet away. This area is very active with something and I will do what I can in the next few months to find out just what that is.

What is strange is I ran into a forest ranger when he cam by on his ATV and we had a talk. I asked him about the trail up ahead and he said they were not sure what caused that trail. He said hikers have not been out here in months but something was maintaining it.

I felt good about that knowledge and know I am on the right track.

Fall Colors and a Bigfoot game trail

2011-11-12T20:28:00.001-04:00

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.

The Bigfoot Season In Florida is now

2011-11-11T17:21:00.001-04:00

Me at home on the patio

We had the first cold snap of the season last night and that is when I like to sit out on the patio and play my chess and work on my blogs after work. In fact, this is something you can do in January when the people up north are digging snow out of the driveway. We don't get snow down here.

Today was just a wonderful day and I had the energy to sit on the porch and get some stuff done. The holiday's are coming and I am looking forward to the food and fellowship. One of the local radio stations has already gone to a 24 hour Christmas music format. I don't know about you, but that is a bit early. Everything has a time and place. I wait until at least the day after turkey day to play the x-mas music.

This weekend will be PERFECT for Bigfoot research. I will be out in field for much of it and should have some new videos to put up on my YouTube channel. Gee, the guys up north are now getting cold and I am finally ablt to get going with this.

Camping for Bigfoot In Florida

2011-11-08T19:28:00.000-04:00

Now that the temperatures in Florida are down, I can't wait to get back into Bigfoot research from now until April. I know much more now about migratory patterns of these creatures and expect to obtain good results in the upcoming months. Things are looking good for a dry winter in Florida and that will be perfect for skunk ape expeditions.

I am very much aware of my responsibility to advance Bigfoot research when the rest of the country is snowed under. That is something that is important to me, and I take it seriously. I hope to not disappoint this skunk ape season.

Bigfoot and Playboy Babes

2011-11-05T15:37:00.000-04:00

Loren Coleman has a chapter on his book on Bigfoot about "Bigfoot and Playboy". It seems there was a production crew from a Playboy shoot that was on its way back after dark from a shoot. The crew was riding in a charter bus.

The bus passed an upright object on the side of the road. Several people saw it from out their windows, A short video was taken of this possible Bigfoot. People have looked at it over the years and believe it looks much like "Patty." Others think it is just a man in a suit.

The "Playboy" video was shot in the high Sierra mountain range in Nevada. This is the type of area that some would call 'squatchy.' It could have been a hoax. But who would have been on the side of the road for thirty people to see when their buss went by? I am surprised this video does not get more play. Most people have still not heard of it.

I was once in the business of producing Playboy style images for Internet sites. The video below has some of my Bigfoot images and videos. It also has some images of the ladies I photographed (with bikinis on - Youtube won't allow the other stuff). This is a depart from me just walking thru the woods.

A Bigfoot Hunt Last Summer (Class A sighting)

2011-11-01T16:10:00.000-04:00

Mitch (red shirt) and Tom (black shirt) just seconds after a class A sighting in Florida

The weather is turning cooler and the new Bigfoot season is upon us. But before we go full bore into the 'Bigfoot Season' in Florida, I wanted to post some videos from last summer (which is the slow time for us).

I did get to work in the field with 'the worlds greatest Bigfoot hunter' Tom Biscardi. He brought along some of his crew and we even had a class "A" sighting in the field. This video was taken just seconds after Mitch saw the Bigfoot from the back of Tom's SUV.

I was in the vehicle behind them and I could see all four of his team pile out and run into the bush. They were moving fast for a bunch of old guys. I caught up with them and documented it on video which you can see here. Mitch is a devout Mormon and there is no way he would lie about what he saw. The creature was moving into the exact area where we had put up the trail cams and bait. We were confident it had played into our hands.

The two videos below show what happened just seconds after the Bigfoot sighting in the Green Swamp of Florida. We were on the Polk county border.

The Bugs Are Still Bad In Florida

2011-10-27T18:55:00.001-04:00

Florida creeks filling up

With the good amount of rain we have had this season (the forecast is a dry winter), the creeks have been filling up. This area was dry eight months ago. The downside of this is the mosquettos are still very bad. We did have a cold front move through last weekend, but not cold enough to kill the bugs. There is a cold front again going to move into central Florida this weekend. Good, things may just be right.

This is Where the Florida Skunk Ape Lives

2011-10-25T00:24:00.000-04:00

Follow this creek and you will find skunk ape

Deep in this area just south of the Ocala National Forest is the primary migratory pathway for the Florida Skunk Ape. This area I have been in for the last few days. I have some great video and a better understanding of just what is going on in the Sunshine State. They are beginning to make their move after the first cold front moved into Florida.

My research is hitting hard and I, and Scott Marlowe are the only ones that know about these patterns. Everyone else is without a clue. You must spend years doing field work before you can really hone in on location patterns. This must be developed by your work, and not by someone else's input. That would mean nothing to you.

There are so many things that have been going on that will shed light onto why I have taken certain paths. I will never give up Bigfoot research; I will give up the researchers. Just because the community is populated with interlopers from the Jerry Springer Show, does not mean I should stop what I am doing.

I have fantastic video and I have so much more ahead. I will post a video this week letting everyone know what is up and why it is now real. The Bigfoot has been located; you people are not worthy of contempt.

The Butterfly and the Bigfoot

2011-10-22T19:28:00.000-04:00

A butterfly garden on a nature trail

I took advantage of the first cold front of the season that made its way into central Florida by going out on a nature trail that I have not been able to access for months because of the bugs and the heat index. I do nature photography and I saw a Monarch butterfly. These insects are not easy to photograph because they will not just stop and pose for you. I had my camera on a tight macro setting and waited for the butterfly to make its way onto a flower and took many stills to make sure I got the one I wanted. Most of the butterfly shooting fails to get a good image.

The prospect of Bigfoot was not far away. The conditions were still very bad with the bugs and the still high humidity. In a couple of weeks it should be just perfect for Bigfoot season in Florida.

The Bugs Are still bad in Florida

2011-10-21T17:53:00.000-04:00

I tried to get into this swamp trail, but to know avail. The bugs are still bad at this time. The temps should be down around the mid 40's by sunrise which (I hope) will kill off the mosquitoes. If so, then the season is on.

the swamp water

It has been months without being able to load YouTube videos because of the heat. The flip side of this is that winter will set in up north and they will not be able to go out. It is now my turn..LOL I still think we should have waited until November because there is still a tropical storm forming in the Gulf Of Mexico. It will not be a factor for a week.

A Bigfoot Olive Branch

2011-10-19T20:48:00.000-04:00

Alex and I have been communicating all day after we both extended an olive branch to each other. That is one of the problems with social media, things can flame up must faster then the old days. Instant communication is not always good. We have 'kissed and made up.' We both agreed that research is the most important thing any of us can do. Staying away from the crap pile does a body good.

I took down the post I had about him and he said he will take down some stuff he said about me. Cool. As far as I am concerned, the matter between us is closed. We are both from Italian descent, and we tend to be a little hot headed. No problem We are now still friends. That is the way it should be.

People who have had a fallen out should just reach out and say they are sorry. If you have a family member you have not spoken to in years, pick up the phone now, and tell them you are sorry. Even if you don't think you did anything wrong, just do it. The other person will probably be willing to bury the hatchet. Give it a chance.

The Monsters Are Among Us

2011-10-18T18:38:00.000-04:00

The screenwriter Rod Serling once said, “The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs, explosions, and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill; suspicion can destroy. Moreover, a frightened, thoughtless search for a scapegoat can have a fallout all its own.”

The pity of this behavior is that it is universal, and not confined to the Twilight Zone. It has run rampant in the paranormal world, especially in the Bigfoot community. Mindless theories, prejudices toward others based on physical appearance, suspicion and fear have strangled the life force out of a thriving pursuit.

Facilitated by social media, it has fueled polemics to a level previously unseen. Who is “finding Bigfoot’ has been replaced with distrust of others motives. What someone looks like, or said about someone else, is now more important then recorded audios and possible video captures. Those things will now be dismissed out of hand. Pointing out the employment of the person, or what he tips the scales at, dismisses the validity of evidence obtained.

Rod Serling referred to the human mind metaphorically as “Maple Street.” In an episode called The Monsters on Maple Street he showed how the real monsters in our world are not Bigfoot or aliens, but the monsters that are in our minds.

An innocent victim of fear and ignorance on Maple Street

In this episode, a UFO landed on a hilltop, and beneath it was Maple Street. The aliens caused the power to go off and on, and then go out. Intermittently they would turn the power on to only one house and the people would look with suspicion on the resident of that home. In a matter of hours, fear reached a fever pitch and neighbors started killing the other residents of Maple Street.

The aliens had now found a new tool of conquest…they would let man destroy himself.

They concluded, correctly, that Earth must be full of these Maple Streets. They would simply go from town to town, play with the infrastructure a bit, and humans would destroy themselves without the need of an invasion or any other tool of conquest.

MY YOUTUBE BIGFOOT VIDEOS

I began doing Bigfoot videos in 2009. I was dedicated and worked hard at it. I began to study topical maps of Florida to find good, remote areas. A consideration of wildlife and water sources was crucial to where I would go. This new hobby was exciting and I enjoyed reading the comments on my videos. That, sadly, took an ominous turn shortly after I began.

Many comments were hurtful and insulting. I had to block them. I am not thin skinned; I simply had no interest in reading them - many of these commenters where trolls, but not all of them. Some were experienced researchers who I thought would welcome a newcomer. I was wrong.

The insulting comments were relentless. In almost all of them, I was called fat and a taxi driver. I have no problem with how I look, or what I have been doing for twenty years to earn a living. It seems many Bigfoot people did.

All of the major blogs refused to mention me in their post. They had to have known about my work. The omission was not by accident. It soon became obvious what they really wanted. They wanted community support.

Most of what is going on in the Bigfoot world was about going to conferences, doing radio shows, and blogging. I even started a Bigfoot Blog to join the club. I thought that was what you were supposed to do. Again, I was wrong.

OTHER RESEARCH GROUPS

I got an invitation to work with an independent Bigfoot research group out of Central Florida. I was excited. I am social by nature and wanted to go out with people who had been doing this much longer then me.

I met them on a Saturday morning and one of the first things they told me was they had been informed that I was a hoaxer. (Strange? I post EVERY SECOND OF VIDEO I TAKE IN THE FIELD - even the ‘out takes.’ The fact that I do not edit anything, and show all that I got, means there is no hoax. You see and hear what the camera recorded. You draw your own conclusion).

Two trolls on Facebook were trying to sabotage the outing. It worked. My contact person with the group basically ignored me the whole time and walked far ahead of me. We were perhaps together about five minutes the whole time. The poison of hate, fear and prejudice had begun.

Subsequently, I was able to work for one day in the field with Tom Biscardi and his team. They were in Florida to see me, and I was honored to work with anyone that would make that kind of effort to come see me.

Tom is a really good guy

What is ironic is that Tom is supposed to be a hoaxer. I am supposed to be a hoaxer. We were in the field with his truck full of goodies. Hell, we could have pulled the biggest hoax ever. The truth is we did not find squat. Tom left the Green Swamp area of Polk county because he did not think it offered much promise. I disagree; he left anyway.

The person that set up the meeting with Tom and I lives out west. In fact, he was going to be on the trip but canceled at the last minute. He now holds the fact that I worked with Tom - for about five hours - over my head. He thinks I am part of his team. I am Tom’s ass buddy or something. I have not seen Tom since he left last May.

WHAT THEY WERE SAYING ABOUT ME

I did a Google search of Bigfoot and myself and I was shocked. I had no clue about so much that was being said. So many people were badmouthing me using anonymous names that I could not keep tract with all of them. Then, there was Sharon Lee.

She went on the Steve Kull’s radio show and called me every name in the book. She called me fat, a douchbag, a fool, and on and on. Her language was so vile, Steve took the archive of that show off his website. It was so bad, that a blogger, researcher in Texas, Melissa Hovan, believed she owed me an apology because Lee lit into her in the same breath she mentioned me.

Sharon Lee contacted Tom Biscardi about getting him to ask me to remove a Facebook comment someone had left on my wall about her ‘sleeping her way to the top’ of the Bigfoot world. I took it down immediately. What that person said about her was insulting. Sharon contacted me after I did that, not to thank me, but to call me an asshole and Tom Bacardi’s ‘toadie.’ The urban dictionary defines toadie as an ass kisser. How nice.

The trolls have still been coming after me on Face book. I have blocked them, but I still see their comments thru mutual friends’ walls. There is no escape. Steve Kulls (who co-stars in all of Tom Biscardi’s movies) list me on his wall of shame…the same one he has Tom on. That is because I disagreed with him. Even though I have no contact ever with these people, they will not let up. I decided to try to even the score.

BIGFOOT BUSTERS BLOG

I created a blog from a design of a defunct blog called Bigfoot busters. I chose that name because of name recognition from the ultimate troll who had it before to insult only me, tcsjrbigfoot, and other YouTube posters. I learned that he sits on the board of directors of the American Sasquatch Association. And he wanted to lecture me about standards. His blog was mean, unfounded, full of lies, and was soon taken down by a lawsuit working with law enforcement.

In the short month, I have had the Bigfoot buster blog; I can support everything I have said. In fact, I thought I was fair and honest about everything. I even called myself fat! The guy out west I stuck it to him hard by showing an email from a production company that rejected his casting call. He was angry as hell.

A DEATH THREAT

He left a message on my phone and said he would come to Florida and hunt me down. He said he would find me and I could take that as a threat. He was nobody to mess with and he would take action. I considered that a DEATH THREAT.

Is this what all this Bigfoot stuff has come down too? We are now living on Maple Street dealing with the monsters in our minds. Jealousy, rage and fear are casting a pall over the whole community. I have completely lost my interest.

I have many other things I need to be doing with my life, busting my ass for hours every day to create YouTube videos is no longer what I need to do. I am removing all of my videos. I will put back up just a few of the ones I like. From now on, the videos will be about my taxi driving experiences and the Florida lifestyle. I have been missing much and now know what I should be doing.

I do take death threats seriously. In Florida, we are the only State that has a “stand your ground’ rule dealing with self defense. If someone shows up on your doorstep or threatens you in any way, you can defend yourself with extreme force. Simple as that. You are under no obligation to retreat from any situation. I love that about Florida.

This man is a terrorist. He has been stalking and cyber tracking me for months. I will not tolerate any of his shit anymore. I will not deal with a terrorist except in one way...strength. This man asked for it; He is going to get it. He needs to go away and stop calling me on the phone with this chowder dribble. He needs to stop slandering me on Facebook. I am not slandering him. He was rejected by the production company because he just did not have the look. Sorry man, I am sure your wife and kids still love you.

THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT

This Bigfoot stuff is simply not worth it anymore. I had a great life before Bigfoot; I will have a great life after Bigfoot. I do want to thank my subs and real friends like tcsjrbigfoot. Thanks guys, this has been real but a little too real.

Ocala National Forest Expedition Is ON

2011-10-15T17:32:00.002-04:00

Tim Fasano In Ocala National Forest

My team is on its way to Ocala into a deep section of the National forest. This is a broad area, and good luck in trying to find us. We will be there until Sunday. Ocala was the home of a confirmed 'Sasquatch' sighting, along with prints casted by forest rangers in 1948. The clear prints were 18' long and made at the time of several sighting reports.

We will be on the edge of a wilderness preserve. I am afraid to say more. Just keep coming back to this blog and you will be informed about everything.

Our day operations will be late week, with everything leading too the night explorations on Friday and Saturday. If we don't find Bigfoot, we will still have much fun. We have lots of food and the weather will be much cooler to sit around the campfire and tell scary stories. You can't beat that.

I am very committed in the next few months to exploring much of the state of Florida that I have not been able to get too. I am very excited about this.

Night Optics During Florida Bigfoot Search

2011-10-12T19:36:00.000-04:00

After the sun has set it is important to get a reading on light sources. This is the most critical time out in field when natural and artificial light blend for a possible discovery. Technology, I believe, is what will assist in the final Bigfoot find. The insects are still very bad in Florida near the rivers and swamps, and any body of water.

Is Bigfoot Inside The Treeline?

2011-10-11T18:09:00.000-04:00

These are situations were Bigfoot researchers always think they see something moving. That is when you are in a clearing and think you see something moving within the treeline. Is it the wind? is it an animal? Or, is it something that may have been following you all along. The other day in field, I got that thought when I saw something moving. We must take many hours of this type of video and analyze it carefully to make sure something has not been overlooked.

Bigfoot FLIR 30 Minutes After Dark

2011-10-08T22:28:00.000-04:00

I was coming back from a swamp area where I had been all day. I had heard activity all day but did not see anything. After the sunset I used this camera to scan the tree line because I thought something was dogging me behind the trees. The FLIR says no. Heat can be seen from the sky and the surface of grass and trees but nothing in the tree line. I really need to get my own FLIR. I don't have the 40 grand that you would need to get the model they use on Finding Bigfoot. There are less expensive models but you get what you pay for. I still think there is something there.

Baby Bigfoot Video Shot Inside Of A Shelter in Arizona

2011-10-05T20:04:00.000-04:00

Mitch Waite is a friend of mine; I have worked with Mitch Waite in the field; Mitch Waite is as straight as they come. He made a fantastic discovery a year ago in Arizona of a Bigfoot shelter. It is not everyday you find a baby Bigfoot in his nest.

Mitch and his crew find the nest

He was working with his crew and they came upon a large nest or structure. They stood around the nest to give it a sense of scale. They compared it to the nest that was found in Ohio on the Monsterquest episode of the Grassman. Mitch took his night optics camera and shot inside the nest. There was a dark, black object that seemed to be moving inside. It may have been a baby Bigfoot waiting for his mother to come back.

Deep inside the nest

Mitch came to Florida last June to work with me, Tom Biscardi and others in the Green Swamp. I used the very camera he uses in this video to see night images. Mitch is a family man and a devout Morman. He is as honest as the day is long. If he said he saw it moving in the nest, he did.

Bigfoot Season Is On In Floirda

2011-10-04T17:40:00.000-04:00

The first cold front of the season was about three weeks early as it moved into central Florida this weekend. I wasted no time in getting out to a swamp area that used to be a logging camp decades ago. This area is in the Hillsborough/Dead River complex with most of it impenetrable and unexplored. That is why I go there when the weather is cool because the mosquitoes are down and the area can be forged on foot. Nobody goes into the areas I do.

This day the bugs were still bad. No problem, I will be back soon when the conditions are better. The bugs were so bad that I was covered with insect repellent but it did no good.

Skunk Ape Season Has Begun In Florida

2011-10-01T15:25:00.001-04:00

The first cold front of the season has made its way to Florida three weeks early. That means Bigfoot sreason. Sunday will have a low of 57 at sunrise. That should put the bugs at bay. I have a grat swamp atea picked out and should be out there all day. We also will have an outing in three weeks in the Ocala National Forest were the sasquatch foot print was cast. We know they are there; we will find them; it just takes time. I hope to have new video every day untill March. Skunk Ape season is on.

Tim Stover filming with Finding Bigfoot Today

2011-09-30T15:48:00.001-04:00

tcsjrbigfoot is shooting right now with the Finding Bigfoot crew. They are doing a re-creation of Tim's 1992 sighting in Salt Fork Ohio. Tim could not say enough good about the production assistant Natalie. She has been in constant contact with Tim, and even went out and got a tree stand. They are in the exact location of the sighting. We are all very happy for Tim. This guy has really put in the hard work.

Harley Hoffman Bigfoot Film Shows Detail Of A Possible Sasquatch

2011-09-28T21:09:00.000-04:00

Note spine and deltoid detail

The Harley Hoffman Bigfoot film shows detail uncommon in most fake Bigfoot hoax films. It was shot in British Columbia in 2001 under unknown circumstances. That seems to be the biggest problem with this film.

Hoffman has not spoken publicly since he shot the film and we know little about him. He and his brother seem to be more eccentric then Todd Standing. For example, Haley's brother once had a website trying to prove the existence of Santa Claus! This is all strange, except this film.

The quality and resolution is outstanding, and not your garden variety blobsquatch. Features of hair length and color are visible on this video. Why would cheap hoaxers be concerned with such detail similar to the Patterson film

This film has detail and it is very similar to the Patterson Gimlim Film. The major detail of the film that has always convinced me of it possibly being real is the width of the back with deltoids and triceps definition and a clear spine seen on the back. I will let the images and video demonstrate this.

This is not a cheap monkey suit. If all they wanted was a few seconds of video to hoax, there is way too much going on here for their basic needs.

The only drawback here is the strange behaviour of the people involved. Film seems to be edited and I would like to know where it was shot and see the entire video unedited.

Note detail compared with Harley Hoffman Film

The Harley Hoffman film is on YouTube. You can watch it here and decide for yourself. Other then this, I really don't know much about Harley Hoffman or anything else. More research will be needed.

Loren Coleman tried to get details out of Hoffman, but was unable to. The video was first posted in 2006 on YouTube as "BIGFOOT Video WTF Insane!!!”

Finding Bigfoot town hall meeting in Ohio open to the public

2011-09-27T11:17:00.001-04:00

A town hall meeting will be held at Deerassic Park and White Tail Hall of Fame next to Salt Fork state park in Ohio Wednesday at 7:00 PM. The event is open to the public. Location is 14250 Cadiz Pl US 22. Be an hour early to get a seat. There will also be a grid search on Saturday at 2 PM which ia open to the public according to the Daily Jefferson newspaper. When you enter the park, follow the Bigfoot signs. My friend Tim Stover will be at both events.

Tim Stover (tcsjrbigfoot) will be on "Finding Bigfoot" in the Ohio episode

2011-09-26T21:06:00.001-04:00

My friend Tim Stover will be on an upcoming episode of Finding Bigfoot that will take place at Saltfork State Park in Ohio. This park is in what they call the Sasquatch Triangle known for many Bigfoot sightings. They also call him the "Ohio Grassman." This version of the Bigfoot seems to be more aggressive then the North West version. He was contacted by a production staff member who told them they will be in Ohio for three weeks and want to recreate Tim's 1992 Bigfoot sighting. More details tomorrow.

Mckenzie River Bigfoot Is A Guy In A Wetsuit

2011-09-25T17:39:00.000-04:00

Left arm, right arm, head exposed
and holding a towel in the right hand

Last July Animal Planet aired an episode of Finding Bigfoot shot in Oregon. The crew was on the Mckenzie River were a group of fly fisherman shot a video on a rafting expedition that seems to show a Bigfoot standing on the rocks overlooking a class 3 river rapids known as "the fish field." The video eventually showed up on YouTube (18 months later).

The Finding Bigfoot crew, led by Matt Moneymaker, wanted to get to the bottom of this sighting and they went out on a raft boat and video taped Bobo standing on the same rocks. Ranae Holland compared their video with the original claiming it could have been a human standing on the rocks. The image was no bigger then Bobo, who is 6' 5" tall and Sasquatch is believed to be mush larger. Matt Moneymaker believed that because the figure was all black, it had to be a big hairy beast.

I saw something on the TV that nobody mentioned on this team. It looked to me that the object was removing a shirt or towel. If so, then this was a human. I magnified this low-res image off the YouTube video, and enhanced the best I could. It does seem to show a man with a wet suit on with a towel in his right hand.

Finding Bigfoot Crew Searches For Bigfoot Today In Rhode Island

2011-09-22T20:30:00.001-04:00

The "fab four"

After all the beer is drank, after all the witnesses tell their tales, after the Finding Bigfoot crew goes out at night and howls their lungs out in the dark woods of western Rhode Island, will they find anything? I, for one, would like to see something other then elk bugles represented as Bigfoot howls and tree knocking dubbed into the final cut. Don't get me wrong, I believe in Bigfoot. I look for Bigfoot. However, I can't help but think they are under pressure to produce results. This is based on my experience in the field and need to produce daily videos for YouTube.

Finding Bigfoot is under the time constraints of a television production schedule, and fudging things would be natural. That is fine for the general public. It is not fine for dedicated researchers. We expect more. Our demographic is one that Matt Moneymaker must be aware of.

The show seems to stick to a type of formula they use in all of their episodes. It is starting to get old. They need to come up with new ways to present evidence. In my YouTube videos I am constantly brainstorming for new ways to present my evidence. Perhaps this is something Keith Hoffman should consider.

I have an idea. They worked with Todd Standing. Why not Tom Biscardi and me? We have something going down in Florida in the next couple of months. They would be well severed in coming down here. Keith, You Ratings would be off the chart!

"-- Bigfoot could be on the loose somewhere in the woods of western Rhode Island. And an investigative team and camera crew are tracking him down.
"Finding Bigfoot," a TV series on Animal Planet, is in West Greenwich on Thursday, looking for the so-called Sasquatch, hoping to capture the creature on film, or at least capture the comments of people who've reported sightings. And there are many, said Keith Hoffman, executive producer of the show.
The program organized a meeting Wednesday night, inviting West Greenwich residents who have had Bigfoot sightings to attend. "There was quite a big turnout," Hoffman said.
The TV series, which debuted this year with six episodes, is filming its second season, 10 episodes for 2012, Hoffman said. Each episode features a different state.
Already the show has visited Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington and Alaska.
You wonder what's going on. If there's only one Bigfoot, why so many states?
"That is a misconception," Hoffman said. "There are many Bigfoots. The one in Rhode Island they call Big Rhody."

via newsblog.projo.com
I really hope this, and other episodes don't follow the cheesy formula of eye-witness accounts, and re-creations that don't prove anything. I wish they would stop adding audio and be honest about it. Did Cliff really hear the three tree knocks or did they just pay him to say that? Is this show a hoax? Is is real? I think I know the answer.

A sand pine forest in search of a research area

2011-09-22T18:44:00.002-04:00

Not much shade out here

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 to the horizon. I was in a sand pine forest over the weekend but I may have picked the wrong time of year. There is no shade 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 believe in using a base camp to branch out from at night when looking for Bigfoot or the skunk ape. Some people want to hang out at camp and let the creature come to you. That works as well. I have gotten results doing just that. However, when you are with a group, it is better to get to work in all directions.

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.

Does Bigfoot Tear Trees Out Of The Ground And Howl?

2011-09-20T18:59:00.001-04:00

The Watershed areas of Florida have been where I have recorded some of my best howls at night. It is always when you can hear mechanical sounds in the background that something is out and aobut. The reason may be because these pumps are in the swamp areas where they live. The ecosystem is right for a large primate.

This video has an audio taken a couple years ago where you can hear the pumps, the tree tearing from the ground, the howls of multiple animals. Just be aware of how easy our senses (especially hearing) can be fooled.

Along An Old Horse Trail - Its Hot Man

2011-09-18T16:13:00.000-04:00

Horse Trail In Rural Central Florida

Horse trails are great. These animals can cover a lot of distance fast and hat is why horse trails are long, and go deep into wilderness territory. Bigfoot researchers will do well by following these trails. If you like walking, and can cover considerable distance, and have all day, this is the place for you. Just bring plenty of water and poweraide. There is often a real lack of shade on these trails. So be prepared.

I was on a horse trail south of an rural state road in Pasco county this weekend. It was very hot. It is late September in Florida but it may not cool of until next month. I don't want to wait for cooler weather. I am tired of putting my research on hold, so I was out there Saturday. I got a little sunburned, but found some interesting things. The habitat looks right for a large mammal to survive. The autumn weather will be better for visibility and overall activity.

You can see that this road stretches too the horizon. You can get a good workout indeed. That is one of the reasons I got into this anyway. I can really use the exercise. Bring your cell phone and leave a note on your cars dash so people will know you are out there in case something happens.

Skunk Ape Prints Going Into Alligator Infested River

2011-09-16T17:37:00.000-04:00

They said on the show Finding Bigfoot that the Florida Skunk Ape lived in alligator dens. This may be video evidence of that claim. These prints are smaller then mine, and seem to have claw like toes, and go into a river full of gators. You can hear a gator grunt at the :34 mark. This is no joke.

You do not want to go into this river. You will not come out! Something seemed to be very comfortable with this environment. It is nasty and hot down there. Bugs will eat you alive. This is typical for this time of year on these jungle rivers.

This area was behind my primitive campsite along this river. Yes, it was hot. I was not digging it; I was just doing it. I was doing what was needed for this type of research.

Animal Planet Bigfoot Show Says 'Sylvanic' Reports Credible

2011-09-15T17:30:00.000-04:00

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."

2011-09-13T21:13:00.000-04:00

I am now in the top 2% of all Youtube channels. Most people who have sites on youtube get very little activity. That is what I think is at the heart of all the hate mail I have received over the last two years. Too bad guys. It seems they really like the quality stuff I put out and the quest for skunk ape is really interesting. The success of the project is motivating me to continue on until a discovery is made. I have been marshaling resources and forming a team of experts to help me in my quest for the Florida Sasquatch.

Skunk Ape Migratory Area Explored

2011-09-12T19:59:00.000-04:00

After meeting with Scott Marlowe I was very excited about my future Bigfoot research in Florida. He knows, as I do, that the Pacific Northwest Sasquatch has shown up in Florida. He and I know the location. Sorry, I can't share that. There is a reason for that. We don't want people showing up. Think about it, It is all about climate, migration, and animal population movements. I was blown away by what I learned today. The video below is me in an area that will be exploding with activity at a certain point in the year. I will let you know when I go back in for real to film the sighting. Today, it was nothing but bugs!

Florida Swamps Are Now Full Of Water And Wildlife

2011-09-10T21:19:00.000-04:00

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.

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.

Tim Powell Is the Troll "Cryptoflorida" Of Facebook

2011-09-09T23:47:00.001-04:00

T. G. Powell is "Cryptoflorida Cryptoflorida of Facebook fame. He 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, 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 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. Did he think I would not use my considerable resources to find him out?

His biggest mistake was a comment he left on the Orlando Sentinel website a couple years ago. An IP address emerged that matched the one on my Typepad blog that he left as "Ben Dover." Sorry Ben, the jig is up.

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.

BFRO Now Says They Did Not Work With Todd Standing...What?

2011-09-07T18:31:00.001-04:00

The blog Ghost Theory is reporting that the BFRO is stating on their website that they did not work with Todd Standing in the field and they only interviewed him on camera, and did not buy what he was selling. I find this stance to be a bit odd. Are they going to set us up for another 'editing by the producers' type of thing.

Reputable newspapers in Canada reported that Standing and Matt Moneymaker were in field for days. I did not make this up, I got it off of the newspaper websites. That would have been the only reason BFRO would have gone into that part of Canada. It is ALL ABOUT SYLVANIC~

There is no way they would have cut him lose on the fly and then had no guide to go into a Sasquatch rich Sylvanic area. They would not even known were it was at. There is no way I am wrong on this.

I do not believe that Finding Bigfoot got ethical all of a sudden. Not a chance. They had Todd in hand and they needed him to get into Sylvanic.

Other then the fisherman in Georgia, who thought Bigfoots nose was brown, and Moneymaker said they are black, this group has never challenged anyone. Even with the fake Mike Green thermal, they never challenged it. Rene Holland did by saying there was nothing there that a human could not have done.

Understand this - without going into Sylvanic they have nothing to challenge him on. Even under intense questions, he only has to say "Come with me into Sylvanic and all your Bigfoot dreams will come true." Are you saying Moneymaker would balk at this? Not a Chance in Hell.

This is a comment I left on the Ghost Theory blog:

I was responding to a Calgary Newspaper website that stated the FB crew was working with him in the field for several days. I did not know they only interviewed him on camera for a few minutes. That is not what the article said. I have NO INSIDE information. It all sounded consistent with the 'over the top' we saw on the FB show in season one. The stupid photo was on your site were I found it. We both agreed it was suspect at best. What we have at this point is not known. I really don't think MM will miss a chance to go into 'sylvanic." No chance. I think they need that for their show. Now is not the time for them to get ethical. The ratings would suffer. It is show business and they need each other to survive. Where am I wrong on this?

Standing Your Ground In The Bigfoot World

2011-09-04T20:38:00.001-04:00

Tim Fasano and Tom Biscardi Ready To Go Deep Into Enemy Territory

Tom and I were planning on working in Florida and got a permit for SWIFMUD to work that area the week after Memorial Day. I told tom a local group works that area and they beleive the skunk ape lives in ther. Tom was on his way.

Tom arrived on Tuesday May 31, 2011. He brought his crew and we met at the Waffle House on SR.51 just as you go into the Richloam tract of the Green Swamp off of I-75. We had breakfast, got to know each other, and Tom showed me some photos of them inn the field in Arkansas. We were soon off to the work area.

Biscardi and Fasano searching the area we will work at night

One of the things that tom likes to do is search the night work area in the morning to see if there is evidence of wildlife. there is a large open area about halfway to the camp that gives you line-of-site to the horizon. It is the rare treeline that is now your target. We began looking for animal signs. We found some, including may tracks of deer and coyote. We set up camera traps and we would return at night to bait them and set up more at the actual campsite.

We went the three miles deep into this area to where the campsite is along the river. Biscardi spotted an owl on a tree limb on the other side of the river. I took a good video of this. You should have seen Tom smile. It was as if this 'sighting' was worth the trip. There was, however, a different kind of sighting that I was hoping for later that night. I was excited and had been waiting for this for a long time.

The Owl At The Campsite along the river

A research group with decades of experience was down here in Florida and wanting too work with me. I could learn alot from them. They also had state of the art thermal and night optics that I would be able to use for the first time. I had come along way since I started and I was glad to finally be able to work with people who would put their egos aside, and be real men.

Tom and I saw wild boar, wild turkey, we found buck tracks and spotted an owl at the campsite - It was a very large one. There seemed to be a good abundance of animals in the area. We would latter at night spot several coyotes in the large prairie that is in there. That was by using the FLIR and aiming it along the tree line.

This is when you have to be very patient and just wait for something to happen. The first time I used it, I thought Bigfoot would walk out of the woods in the first five minutes. It was not to be and I learned from the experience. Mitch stood ground and worked the night optics till the wee hours of the morning with no real results. That is just the way it goes in this kind of research.

Tim and David baiting at night in the Green Swamp

When we went in at night we used peanut butter and canned fish to rub on the trees all through this Green Swamp tract. David Hoes came along. David is a good guy with an open mind. He was sceptical at first but he can testify that their was no hoaxing going on. Tom and I found what we thought was a footprint. David did not agree. Cool. That is why I wanted him on the expedition. He was a calm voice of reason. I took many videos which you can find on my YouTube channel..fasanotampa.

The camera traps yielded results, I am sure. The agreement I had with Tom Biscardi was that I could take all the videos I wanted but he would keep and own all that he took. We had a handshake and that was all I needed to know how honorable the man was. I know he has images taken in the dark from the Green Swamp that he is keeping for himself. Good for Tom.

The sad fact is we did not find the skunk ape. I believe this area has been worked over by local researchers. I was told decades ago there were herds of migrating deer in the area. They have now left because of Bigfoot researchers call blasting. It scares them and they leave, so does the big hairy guy as well. There are better areas we will work next time.

Julianne Lea 1968 - 2007: I Will Always Love You

2011-09-02T21:24:00.000-04:00

There are Bigfoot researchers in Florida that are searching my background, and found out about a criminal charge I had of domestic violence in 2003(Charge dropped). They think I am a convict or something. Now, they are trying to keep me out of National and State Parks. These people are scum and I know who they are (Central Florida Research Team). They are also saying I am a child molester. This is as low as any BF people have gone. They do not know anything about Julianne and I. This post is from my Tampa Taxi Shots blog almost five years ago. This picture of Julianne was taken in studio by me ten days before she died. It was the last time I would see her alive. This image is my most important possession. How relevant was our relationship to Bigfoot research? Julianne is dead. She was the love of my life.

"I miss you Julianne. My life is empty without you. I have not stopped crying since you died. When does that stop?
I am devastated that you were taken from me. I am angry that life was so hard to you. I did not know you were so unhappy. Life is very unkind. Not everyone is happy. It was hard to see you while your condition was degrading. You would not know it, however, from the pretty picture of you on this post. It was taken only two weeks before you died.
That is how I will remember you.

I will remember you full of life and warmth and kindness. I will remember the laughter and the love. I will remember the precious time we shared. I will remember your vitality and your grace, your noble spirit and kind heart and talent and your humorous essence that attracted me to you.

Your death left a gaping hole in my life. But hard as it is to be without you, I take comfort in the knowledge that you are at last in peace and free of that terrible disease.

I will not let you be forgotten. Many of your friends may be looking for you and I have started a website in your memory. I am a photographer, so this blog is a photo essay of your life as much as I can with the images I have on hand.

Rest in peace Julianne. I will always love you. God bless you. Amen....from my blog March, 2007

THERE ARE BIGFOOT RESEARCHERS IN FLORIDA THAT FOUND OUT I WAS ARRESTED IN 2003 AFTER POLICE FOUND JULI WITH CONTUSIONS ON HER ARM AND LYING FACE DOWN ON A SIDEWALK. SHE WAS BLACKED OUT AND COULD ONLY MUTER MY NAME. THE CHARGE WAS LATER DROPPED WHEN SHE CAME TOO AND TOLD THEM I HAD NOTHIING DO WITH HER DRUGGING AND BOOZING

--------------------------------------------------------

I sent the message below to a good guy who is a researcher who told me who the people are that are trying to slander me and keep me out of National and State parks. I NOW KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE AND HAVE MUCH VIDEO OF THEM IN FIELD. I have never been convicted of a crime in my life. I have the right to vote and I do have a gun:

"Julianne died five years ago in the same manor as Amy Winehouse. Juli had an addiction to drugs and booze. I called 911 for help one night, and because of contusions on her arms, they arrested me. She later told the police that I had nothing to do with that..the charge was dropped. She later died from an overdose. I was the only person keeping her alive. My love and help was not enough. We were together for eight years. Cryptoflorida looked up my record (2003) and put it on his blog. My question is, what does this have to do with my videos and skunk ape research? Thanks for being a friend. you and Tom both know about this and also know..'shit happens' in life. This is crazy and slanderous. I should take legal action. I have never been convicted of anything in my life. They omit that part, I am sure. I have the right to own a gun and vote. I have a hack license and have held the same job for 17 years. They are scum."

Julianne was wealthy and did not have to work. She was a model and that is how we met. I found her in her condo in Pasco county in 2007 after she died of an overdoese. She was the love on my life, and a day does not go by without me thinking of her.

I LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE TODAY
March 5, 2007

I lost the love of my life today. I found Julianne's lifeless body today in her condo in Hudson. I had not heard from her since last Thursday. She did not call over the weekend. I am very busy on the weekends and she knows this but always calls. Monday morning I had a bad feeling. This was unlike any other feeling I had ever had. At first, I thought she had found a man in a bar and was with him. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

When I got there today after work, the condo was the same as I left it. The curtain and blinds had not been moved and the light in the hallway was still on. I was very alarmed. I found the maintenance man of the association and he had a master key for the door. It would only work for the door handle and not the dead lock bolt. I knew she was in trouble and kicked the patio door in and from the sliding glass door you could see her body lying on the living room floor thru a crack in the curtain. Why did I not do this Monday. If she was already dead, would that of made a difference? I called 911. It looked like she had fallen and hit her head on the end table near the sofa. The detectives later concluded as much.

I was hoping to write that I had found her today and she was OK. I did not think I was going to have to write her obituary.

Her life was not always happy. She grew up in Tampa and went to King High School. She was extremely bright with a high IQ. She went on to Colombia in New York where her mother was amusic professor. She dropped out of school as the conditions of her mental illness took over her life. This was the insidious disease that often kept us apart and ultimately took her life. The problem with Bi Polar disease is their victims don't always live very long. The chemical Maelstrom that is occurring in their brains put such a strain on their internal organs that the often implode from within. In the last two months, she told me she was dying. I just believed it was the alcohol that was talking. Alcoholism is common with this affliction.

She dabbled in modeling for she was very pretty. She never married. Most men were intimidated by her. I was able to maintain an eight year relationship with her that had its bumps. She had left for a couple of years and recently moved into her mothers condo in Hudson. I visited her often but knew something was not right. She would often leave messages on my cell phone with this song in the background "What would you do if you knew you were dying." The feeling I had Monday was real and my worst fears were realized today.
I think of all the things we will miss out on: Marriage, children, vacations, a home, baseball games, Sunday afternoon movies, the beach that she loved so much. All of this has been taken from me by a disease who's ass I would kick if it had material form. I once wrote about Julianne a year ago on this blog. I think it is apropo tonight for it seems almost prophetic of the recent events:

"Today was Gasparilla day. I know how much you liked that day. You were always very creative with costumes. Days like this were the ones you always looked forward to. Today was just another day for me. The memory of you is a reframe constant in my heart. Ever present and never ending with only brief periods of repose from the torment I feel. It is only now that I have only begun to reconcile the events leading to that insidious disease that took you from me.

I went to the pier last week. A place we both enjoyed very much. I left before sunset. That would have been unbearable. For, I could remember that weekend at the beach with you standing at the waters edge as I watched the sun set in your beautiful eyes. With the wind blowing thru your hair you seemed more like a vision. An image of someone I have only seen throughout eternity but only finding you in this existence. You are so beautiful.

I’ve started a blog now. It mostly deals with photography. You where the one that encouraged me to get back into photos. I am taking pictures of birds, ships, buildings and so forth but you are the only image I desire. I hope you don’t think posting this violates your privacy. Even though my blog is new, I think my readers are sophisticated enough to understand.
Mental Illness is a terrible disease. There. I said it. It attacks its victims in the only thing they can control-their minds. Then gradually leaves their victim immobilized form logical and reasonable thought. The doctors could never help. The medicine left you begging for relief. The worst part of this is I COULD NOT HELP YOU. There was nothing I could do. Since you left I am only one more victim in its path.

It’s the not knowing that is the worst. I remember the last time you called me from some unknown place. You didn’t even know where. The confusion was obvious in your voice. You asked me to marry you. I only wish how that could have happened. It was at that moment that I knew that everything was wrong. Everything I had believed in and held up as truth was now cast aside. How could it have been this way?

I often wake up in the middle of the night thinking you are in danger. I remember a TV program that we both liked called 7 days. It was about time travel. And if the traveler ever got into trouble he was to use the code word “Conundrum.” Remember when I told you that if you ever lost your way and walked into anything-a truck stop, a convenience store a restaurant or roadside motel and you saw that word, or even heard it in a passing conversation, know that I was I trying to call you back home.

I have to grieve Julianne. I have to move on. Almost eighteen months is long enough.
I am listening to one of my favorite songs as I write this Many to Many by Genesis. There is a lyric in the song I think is important: “Oh pretty mama please help me find the key…Oh pretty Mama help me to go free.” I have to go now.

I LOVE YOU Julianne….I always will.

I can only hope you are in a better place now and your suffering is now over. Juli, I will see you in the next life. I often have a dream at night where my mother and father and you are standing on the porch of our two story home back in Newport News and everyone is young and has no disease and I pull up and you are smiling at me and the sense of happiness is indescribably wonderful for I now know we will be together forever.

Take care where you are at now for I know you are with God, and may God hold you in his loving arms until I get there.

The Finding Bigfoot Crew Are Filming In Sylvanic With Todd Standing

2011-09-01T18:07:00.001-04:00

Todd Standing Is working with Matt and the gang

The Finding Bigfoot Crew has been in the mythical Sylvanic area near Calgary Canada where a colony of Bigfoots live that don't mind posing for cameras. Todd Standing has several controversial images and videos that just may show the Bigfoot. Finding Bigfoot is doing a complete investigation of possible sighting locations,and they were up in Canada to check out the Sylvanic area.

The crew spent many days out there, and guess what? They did not find anything except some possible wood knocks, a late night howl, a possible footprint. Damn, no Bigfoot. I thought the show was about finding Bigfoot. Does not that guy from England, who looks like the next Star Trek villain, catch monster, crypto fish every time he goes out?

I know the Fab Four will cry all the way to the bank about not finding Bigfoot (I would cry for cash). The Sylvanic episode should be on next Spring. Can't wait. What can me expect from this episode? Let me give it a try.

The opening sequence will be an aerial view of the spectacular mountain ranges that surround Calgary. It will be breathtaking.
Matt Moneymaker will give a narration about how they are in the Banif and Kootenay national parks where a Bigfoot colony is supposed to be living
They will introduce Todd Standing and he will give a talk about how he used to be a skeptic and then his crew found Sylvanic where the Bigfoot lives.
The crew will go out into the Sylvanic area, and when they get there, they will use Bobo to do a reenactment.
Later that night, they be out with thermals, and one of the crew members will think they saw something, and the gang will close in...they find nothing.
They will examine the video the next day and Ms. Holland will say she sees nothing there that could not have been done by a human (she claims this in every reenactment).
They will then meet with some local Bigfoot guys and gals and go out to where they had sightings.
A reenactment will be shown, then Bobo does the stand in thing again.
They will then rap it up at some lodge and show the crew leaving in an SUV onto their next attempt to find Bigfoot
Apply above formula to any of their episodes.

Platt: Bigfoot boom in Banff? | Columnists | Opinion | Calgary Sun: "This week, crews from “Finding Bigfoot,” a hit show on Discovery’s Animal Planet channel, are filming in the Calgary area, and Standing says the upcoming episode will be centred upon Sylvanic’s discoveries.

“We’ve had exceptional results and we’re working with people doing DNA analysis,” said Standing.

He says preliminary results from hair samples sent in for testing suggest an unknown species of primate, while video and photographs suggest a creature larger than a gorilla, with human-like features."

Hurricane Irene Disrupts Bigfoot Operations

2011-08-28T19:12:00.000-04:00

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,

NASA Secret Moon Missions Ended With Apollo 18

2011-08-22T17:25:00.000-04:00

The release date has been changed

Director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego in the upcoming thriller explores just what happened to Apollo 18, and why future moon landings were canceled. History records the last moon landing as Apollo 17. Did we go to the moon without the worlds knowledge? This movie will show documents that prove NASA has always had a secret lunar program and it explains why we have never returned to the moon.

I have done a post on this topic where many researchers believe NASA found evidence of alien life on the moon, and that was the reason we never returned. It was not just the alien discovery that scared us off - it was a confrontation with extraterrestrials that forced NASA to close the Apollo Project. This movie will attempt to prove this point.

Lopez-Gallego claims that old NASA footage was discovered shot by the Apollo 18 crew. The discovered films show that the crew ran into an abandoned Russian Lunar lander, and that the crew had vanished. The American astronauts had direct contact with extraterrestrial life and never returned to Earth. That is all the director is saying at this point.

He claims none of this was made up - they are presenting REAL footage as it was filmed by the Lunar landing crew. I find this premise compelling, the say the least. This guy is being original and it brings up questions about a surrogate space program that NASA may have been operating for decades.

I live in Florida and I have filmed space launches from the street I live on WHEN THERE WERE NO SCHEDULED LAUNCHES! The day I filmed this, the NASA website said they had launched a small rocked from a mobile launcher on the back of a truck in Virginia. Ya, right.

Below are some of the documents that the movie will use to try and prove this mission really happened in 1974. People would have seen the space craft take off. Perhaps they did

Listen And You Will Hear The Florida Skunk Ape Howl - The Fasano Project

2011-08-20T19:42:00.001-04:00

This video was shot in March Of 2010 in a central Florida swamp around midnight. The howl you will hear has never been identified. I believe it may have been the Florida skunk ape because of the area I was in, and the other things that were going on, such as strange animal movement, and activity before I recorded this sound after a low flying airplane went over. You will hear the clinging of metal which makes me think they are carrying metal chains around their necks. I have no idea why. You will also see the camp I was at and my thought for that day. Forget about the Erickson Project. The Fasano Project is doing just fine.

Florida Bigfoot Researchers Conclude Bigfoot Is Not Real

2011-08-17T20:57:00.004-04:00

"AFTER A 5 YEAR QUEST TO EXPLORE THE BIGFOOT PHENOMENON, FLORIDA BIGFOOT RESEARCHES HAVE DETERMINED ADEQUATE EVIDENCE IS LACKING TO JUSTIFY CONTINUED RESEARCH WITH THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE EXISTENCE OF A LARGE BIPEDAL HOMININ OR APE-LIKE CREATURE IN FLORIDA. Eye-witness testimony has been found to be unreliable and inadequate for independent verification. Further, human hoaxing by the use of fur suits has been documented as well as hoaxing of large humanlike prints identical to those presumed to be made by bigfoot/sasquatch/skunk ape as found in the literature."

"Widespread hoaxing,mis-identification of known fauna, mis-interpretation of purported bigfoot sign by mostly unskilled and/or amateur field investigators are causative factors for widespread belief in the existence of bigfoot. One example — recent multiple sightings of a large hairy, non-human bipedal creature in the panhandle area were investigated within a few days of the events with no physical evidence observed or collected. All of the reports were either on or adjacent to improved roads (making easy access by a potential hoaxer). Several reports of hair samples near sightings were reported second hand but samples never surfaced even after multiple attempts were made to the supposed possessors. Many examples may be posted on this site documenting the extent of hoaxing and mis-identification by unskilled field investigators. Further, no compelling evidence has yet been documented correlating supposed bigfoot behavior such as certain vocalizations, rock or stick throwing, or wood knocking. All are based entirely on speculative premise with no scientific documentation. In fact, all can be explained by more probable natural, known causes."

Back In Field Friday

2011-08-04T18:14:00.001-04:00

There is a cypress dome area that I be checking out Friday. Cypress means swamp, and in this heat and humidity, it means bugs. I am a field researcher..there so few of them in the Bigfoot field. My Youtube site has almost 800 subs and they are starting to complain about my slow down in work. I will be home late, so Saturday you should see many new vids. Wish me luck.

Robert Lindsay: Seprating The Truth From The Myth - A Conversation With Tom Biscardi and Java Bob

2011-08-03T17:04:00.008-04:00

I had a conference call today with Tom Biscardi and Java Bob about certain revelations that came out in Robert Lindsay's blog. Linday published some very interesting tid bits about the machinations going on between the Erickson Project, Melba Ketchum and Tom Biscardi. I did not contact Tom, he called me.

Tom calls me every week to keep me caught up on events and to see how I'm doing. He is a friend; I am not an associate. I am a YouTube poster and I work alone. I will go out in field when invited by others but I prefer to work alone. They say as you get older you know what works best for you and have no need to seek out superficial friendships. I welcome input, but after requiring decades to find out how my feet make contact with the ground, I like to keep it that way.

I conversation I asked Tom if he had ever heard of Robert Lindsay. He said he had not. That, of course meant he had no idea what Lindsay was bloging about him at his site. I told him, and he laughed. He called Java Bob on the phone and we had a three way (not the kind Linday is thinking of). Tom asked Java if he knew a Robert Linday and he said, "He's a blogger." Java Bob also added that he never goes to the sight because he does not want to give him any hits.

These are some of the things Lindsay claims:

Ketchum has an unfulfilled NDA With Biscardi:

"It is interesting that the Ketchum Project people attempted to trash us as being associated with Tom Biscardi. Biscardi, whatever you think of him, has been an essential element of the Ketchum Project. Many times we needed folks to run samples from wherever to Ketchum’s lab in Texas. All of these illustrious Biscardi-hating investigators could not be bothered to do so. Only Tom Biscardi would step up to the plate, and so he was used.

Ketchum has an agreement with Biscardi to do the work on his own samples and to send him the results. She has never fulfilled her end of the bargain, hence she can be sued by Biscardi. However, Biscardi probably lacks money for a lawsuit."

Most of this is true and Lidsay does a good job of pointing out how Tom has been sending work to the Ketchum people and not to Erickson. The problem here is that Erickson has been sending his samples to the her as well. She has assumed ownership of them and gotten a Hollywood agent during this process. We all know the kind of 'check mate' she is contemplating. Lindsay is also right that Tom, and his people have been running samples to the her lab in Texas. She never has fulfilled her end of the bargain, and can be sued by Biscardi. You are wrong about Biscardi lacking money.

Biscardi was the producer of two of the most successful shows in Las Vegas last year and has even been the promoter of an Ozzie Osbourne tour. Guys that can do that, don't lack money. Look it up. Google is your best friend. Vegas headline shows and rock concerts make millions for the promoter. Biscardi does not need money.

Tom Biscardi - Hoaxer or not?

"After quite a bit of investigation, including an interview with Java Bob Schmaltzbach, I have concluded that Tom Biscardi is not a hoaxer. Java Bob went through a long history with me about the Georgia Boys’ fake Bigfoot body saga. It appears that both Biscardi and Java Bob were hoaxed by the Georgia Boys. Biscardi had no idea it was a fake. He was on the phone having Java Bob run tests on the thing when Bob discovered that it had a rubber foot.
It was then that that Java and Biscardi realized that they had been had. Recall that Biscardi forked over ~$50,000 for the fake dead Bigfoot. Why would he lose all that money if he was in on a hoax?
The truth is that Biscardi is not a hoaxer. Instead, he is a gullible, not particularly bright, narcissistic, showboating sort of guy who works as a Las Vegas showman. He believes anyone, so he gets hoaxed himself all the time. Biscardi also believes very much in Bigfoot, and he has 4 excellent daytime sightings and many more nighttime sightings. He has made some positive contributions to the Bigfoot field. In short, the popular image of Tom Biscardi as a hoaxer seems to be mistaken.
Biscardi does not have a good personality. He is a crass, vulgar, condescending, arrogant, egotistical and highly narcissistic man. Most people who associate with him for a while leave him because he is so hurtful. He hurts his own friends and even his own family with his callous remarks. Like many such types, he hasn’t the slightest clue about his culpability in these interpersonal scenarios. He has contempt for nearly everyone else in the Bigfoot world, who he typically refers to as bottom feeders.
Biscardi is not a Rhodes scholar, but he’s not stupid either. At best he has about average intelligence or so. He has an engaging, extroverted but brash personality."

You are right that Tom gets hoaxed and that he is not a hoaxer. However Robert Lidsay, you have never meet the man and are in no position to know his personality. You are a professional and know that personality can only be judged by first hand encounters, not hearsay. You wrote that he hurts his own family. how could you possible know anything about his six children and how good of a father he is. Tom is a great father and his children love him. When he was with me on a Bigfoot outing, his kids were always calling him on the phone. That seems like a good sign to me.

Lets see Mr. Lindsay, he, like your buddy Adrian Erickson, Biscardi is smart enough to become a multi-millionaire on his own. I don't know how you measure intelligence? Its not always which California University you have an advanced degree from.

Tom Biscardi Is A Womanizer:

This is weak and way out of bounds. You say he is "one of the wildest, most out of control and notorious womanizers in the Bigfoot world." He is single and may date a women. Is that not allowed? His personal life is his business. We don't ask you about yours.

He financially ruined Java Bob Schmaltzbach.

Why are Tom and Bob on the phone talking like old buddies? Java Bob laughed at what you wrote, and so did Tom. None of what you wrote is true. In fact, Tom has helped Java Bob get a book deal with a large advance. Java Bob is currently writing his book and it should be a best seller - so much for ruining a mans life.

Mr. Linday, you talk about things you can't possibly have any knowledge of. I am sure that is what they taught you in journalism school. Here's something you won't be able to ignore.

You stupid Erickson Project will flame out like an old drag. The science is pseudo-science and will never be excepted. Your videos are fake. Tom Biscardi has already worked that property you have in Kentucky and has a link to their outing on his webstie. You got nothing Robert..nothiing but a fake video that Moneymaker sold you for twenty grand.

Skunk Ape Footprints Found On A River Bank

2011-07-29T22:41:00.002-04:00

Still from video of prints leading into the river

I found a series of footprints that seemed to be coming out of the water onto the rivers edge - all in view of alligators. What was strange was the prints turned around, and went back into the water. I'm telling you this river is infested with Gators and no human would be swimming in it. If they did, that would be it.

I could tell by the prints that the creature was barefoot and had claw like toes or had never clipped its long nails. I don't think it could have been a bear because I have never seen bears swimming in the river and they are not supposed to be this far south.

I believe what I discovered were fresh tracks that were laid down that morning when I was out there. I camped out the night before and heard sounds in the distance. I know this area and I will be back. It is very hot now and I really can't take much more of the heat and the bugs.

People are wondering why I have not put up videos in the last few weeks. That is because of the heat. I have about 30 videos to put up and my internet connection right now is not that good and with working 70 hours a week, I just don't have the time. The Fall of the year things should start getting better.
