1 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,360 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,640 In this episode we're talking about a Florida Bigfoot Roundup. 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,600 That's correct, a Florida Bigfoot Roundup. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,760 Now we're kind of continuing this series that we've been 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,360 doing on the Bigfoot topic, going through the different 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,640 States and using Bigfoot Field Research Organization as our 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,520 source. Absolutely outstanding website. 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,160 I'm telling you, I could just spend a whole day over here 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,720 reading these things. They're so much fun. 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,800 This first one comes to us from December 12th, 2022. 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,520 State Florida County Hillsborough County Location 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,000 details Cheeto Nature Preserve. There are 10s of thousands of 13 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,520 acres out there less than 1/5 of a mile from my location. 14 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,240 That has got to be something else. 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,960 Nearest town La Thea, nearest Rd. 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,360 Browning Rd. And then it says observed. 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,240 There is without a doubt a Bigfoot in Cheeto Nature 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,480 preserve. It's extremely foggy out 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,680 tonight. We are having the first real 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,960 cold front coming into Central Florida. 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,320 My location is in Lithia, FL near Cheeto park. 22 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,920 Without a doubt I heard a whooping noise and a loud 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,840 prolonged Bigfoot yell. It was made in three separate 24 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,120 calls, each getting louder than the last one. 25 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,480 The last call was very loud. The first call almost sounded 26 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,760 like a owl hoot but it got louder. 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,120 I could tell it was coming from Cheeto Park. 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,680 There's no way I could hear an owl call that far away and the 29 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,640 last two were dead on textbook Bigfoot calls. 30 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,800 Actually it happened at 10:30 PM as the local temperature shifted 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,680 then they say. I also noticed I have heard loud 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,440 thuds when I'm putting the chickens up late at night. 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,680 It sounds as if someone is throwing rocks. 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,560 The area is covered in baseball sized rocks so it would be easy 35 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,360 to find one. As far as other witnesses, it 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,960 says it was only me who heard it. 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,760 Everyone else was inside the house. 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,520 Other stories, no. This is the first I know of time 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,280 and conditions. Night heavy fog and it's much 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,919 colder than it has been all year. 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,680 The environment they describe as extreme fog. 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,240 A cold front is moving in and it's our first real cold this 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 season. Cheeto Nature Preserve has 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,600 walking trails throughout and can be hard to venture 45 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,160 everywhere because of the standing water. 46 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,600 It's very swampy with heavy oak trees and areas and large 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,560 patches of pine trees. It's very common to see boar, 48 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,320 deer and bunnies as a perfectly preserved habitat and very 49 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,080 large. This just sounds like ideal 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,520 Bigfoot country to me. Maybe it's getting a little bit 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,640 colder, the food might be a little harder to find or 52 00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,600 something. These things do seem to have a a 53 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,360 penchant for chickens. I mean, lots of lots of stories 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,800 talking about these things. So who knows what it was doing 55 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,120 there, But this does sound like a convincing encounter to me. 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,720 Now it says talks about the investigator Matthew money maker 57 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:05,280 gives his his bona fides here. Guys got a lot of of experience 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,160 with these things, been on a lot of different Bigfoot programs, 59 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,440 that sort of thing. A real a real hardcore 60 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,480 researcher and this is one that he I guess has looked into. 61 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,680 Let's go ahead and take a look at a another encounter here. 62 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,000 This sighting is dated November 24th, 2013, so about 11 years 63 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,200 old. State Florida County 64 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,760 Hillsborough County Location details Cypress Creek Nature 65 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,360 Preserve between Interstates 275 and 75 near the apex where they 66 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720 meet. The sighting was about a mile 67 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200 due West of Freedom High School. Nearest town New Tampa. 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,440 Nearest Rd. Interstate 75 Observed First, 69 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,440 I'll start with the fact that I have never put much stock into 70 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,120 the Bigfoot phenomena. I have degrees in wildlife 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040 management and wildlife biology, and I have been working as a 72 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,520 biologist for the last 17 years. I have never believed that 73 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,480 something could exist that has never left any concrete 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,360 evidence. Furthermore, nothing similar has 75 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000 ever been found in the fossil record that I know of. 76 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,320 So that has led me to believe it was all false until this 77 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,080 weekend, November 24th, 2013. I am an avid birdwatcher and 78 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920 wildlife photographer. I take very long hikes in 79 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,519 various wild areas around Tampa this time of year to photograph 80 00:04:19,519 --> 00:04:22,240 whatever I find. I was hiking at Cypress Creek 81 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,840 Preserve which is between Interstate 275 and 75 near the 82 00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:30,320 apex where they meet. I was walking on one of the 83 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,760 rather wide trails when I came to a stop because I heard a 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720 noise. I had seen quite a few wild pigs 85 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,520 that morning and I thought I could photograph one crossing 86 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,680 the trail in front of me. I was looking down at my camera, 87 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,800 adjusting the ISO settings when I saw something large move out 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,760 of the corner of my eye to my left, approximately 200 feet 89 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,840 away. As soon as I saw the movement, I 90 00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:57,120 looked directly at it and it was already halfway across the 91 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320 trail. At this point, my eyes were 92 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,440 directly on the animal as it walked upright across the rest 93 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,840 of the trail into the palmettos. It was very large, at least 6 94 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,200 feet tall or more completely black in color with a very wide 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,160 chest from front to back. It was walking completely 96 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960 upright with a very fast, purposeful pace. 97 00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:21,280 The animal was leaning forward slightly but did not seem 98 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:24,600 awkward with the steps like a bear would be while walking 99 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160 upright. I slowly walked over to the spot 100 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,040 where I saw it cross and I could still hear it moving through the 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,960 woods in the distance. I immediately noticed that all 102 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,040 the birds around me I stopped chirping and the insects had 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,000 stopped making noise as well. I looked for tracks or hair left 104 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,040 on the plants in the area but found nothing. 105 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,040 I was able to get a picture of the Palmetto on the trail where 106 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,480 it crossed and I put my tripod near it for a height comparison. 107 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,600 I am extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in Florida, 108 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 but I cannot explain what type of animal I saw this past 109 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,480 weekend. I also noticed a birds in the 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,120 area stopped chirping at the time of the sighting, says other 111 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,200 witnesses. Just me. 112 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,000 I was adjusting camera settings just prior to the sighting. 113 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,120 Other stories know times and conditions. 9 O 4:00 AM overcast 114 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,520 around 64° environment. Upland pine hammock with wet 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,840 Cypress hammock nearby. Well it just goes to show you 116 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:23,680 how it just takes one incident for a non believer to become a 117 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,400 believer. It's great sighting. 118 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,480 This sighting is dated as a summer of 2000 in Florida. 119 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Aluchua County location details Very swampy area. 120 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:40,360 Nearest town Gainesville, FL nearest road 441. 121 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,120 Now they tell us. I'm submitting this true report 122 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,360 for my cousin who I am very close to and keep in touch with 123 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120 regularly. She lives outside of 124 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,640 Gainesville, FL in Ocala County. She has told me this amazing 125 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,480 story several times before and she is a very trustworthy 126 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,840 person. I strongly felt that this 127 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:01,200 amazing account of hers should be reported and she agreed. 128 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,360 As she told me, it was a very clear morning. 129 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,680 My cousin was driving her and her younger son to town on a 130 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,120 narrow stretch of road near Gainesville, FL early one 131 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,760 morning around 7:00 AM. She may have been taking her son 132 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,400 to school, but I cannot remember. 133 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,360 The narrow Rd. she was on had swamps on both sides of it and 134 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,040 looked messy. As she was driving along, all of 135 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,880 a sudden a hairy upright creature walked right up out of 136 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,960 the swamp on one side of the road and continued walking out 137 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,600 in front of her car and then it just stopped. 138 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,600 She immediately stopped the car just a few feet away from this 139 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,880 thing, not wanting to hit it, and just stared in shock at what 140 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,760 she and her son were seeing. The man, like a creature, had 141 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,880 stopped in the middle of the road and was turned around 142 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:52,120 looking directly at them and they got a very good look at the 143 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,400 whole body of the creature. The creature walked upright like 144 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,720 a human with a gate and looked like a caveman. 145 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,320 And she put it to me. The creature had hair all over 146 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,640 its body except for around the eyes, nose, mouth, and face. 147 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,920 The most astonishing feature she noticed, though, was that the 148 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,840 creature was wearing some kind of animal skin for protection or 149 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,480 something. She was in shock. 150 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,920 This creature had to be intelligent to create and wear 151 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,280 its own handmade animal skin. The creature showed no 152 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,960 aggressive behavior. After a couple of minutes or so, 153 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,720 it just casually walked back into the swamp on the other side 154 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440 of the road. The thing looked half human and 155 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,880 half ape. The creature was about 7 to 8 156 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,880 feet tall as well. When she got home she told her 157 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,400 husband what had happened and at first he didn't believe her. 158 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520 For further reference I can give you my telephone number so you 159 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,039 can contact her in Florida. I am a true mystery writer and I 160 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:45,920 just had to share this amazing story with you. 161 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,120 I do know that these amazing creatures really do exist. 162 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,680 And then it says under also noticed nothing. 163 00:08:51,680 --> 00:08:54,000 She was just amazed and shocked at the detail of the creature 164 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640 she was seeing, especially wearing the animal skin. 165 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,360 She said he looked just like a caveman. 166 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Other witnesses to her son has Down syndrome. 167 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,600 Other stories? Yes, read my stories about the 168 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,120 famous Florida Skunk Ape, the state's version of the 169 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,720 Sasquatch. My late grandmother had a close 170 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,320 sighting in Kentucky back around 1996. 171 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,480 I reported it as well to BFRO. Times and conditions early 172 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,760 morning around 7:00 AM while on her way to town. 173 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,200 Clear day and then environment. Early morning and a clear day, 174 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,200 my cousin was driving her car on small Rd. with swampland on both 175 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,040 sides of the road. The creature came up out of the 176 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,880 swamp in full view of my cousin when she stopped her car to let 177 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,520 the creature cross the road in front of her. 178 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,760 The creature turned and looked directly at her and the car went 179 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,480 on. That's amazing, I've never heard 180 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,200 of these things. Weren't animal skins before. 181 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,280 That is strange. The follow up investigation says 182 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,840 Follow up investigation report by BFR investigator Kathy Betts. 183 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,080 I spoke to the submitter of this report DS and he put me in 184 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600 contact with his cousin. The witness RCRC was very matter 185 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920 of fact and explain the details of her encounter. 186 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,120 Her story to me did not deviate from the story she related to 187 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,040 her cousin. 10 years ago while traveling by car through Paynes 188 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Prairie on Hwy. 441, RC saw a hair covered bipedal figure 189 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,680 across the road in front of a car. 190 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,960 The time of day it was around 6:00 AM in the in the summer and 191 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,840 the sun high enough to provide good lighting. 192 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,560 Her grandson was in the car with her, but he would have been too 193 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:29,920 young to have remembered anything. 194 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,480 This is a summary of the phone conversation and details added 195 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,200 by RC and it goes on here. It says Highway 441 is a four 196 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,280 lane highway that is bisected by a grassy medium. 197 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,960 RC first saw the creature as it crossed over the opposite lanes, 198 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,160 heading towards her lane of travel. 199 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:51,640 It stopped on the medium and this is when she started to slow 200 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,880 her car down. When it got to the medium, I 201 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480 really didn't know what to make of the thing. 202 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,000 Recall RC, this is when I got close enough to see it, probably 203 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,400 about two car links ahead of me. At this point she became 204 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,360 frightened. I didn't know what I was going 205 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,280 to do. I was afraid that it was going 206 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,400 to come after me or attack my car. 207 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,480 I was really scared, but it didn't do anything like that. 208 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,600 It kept his face looking away from me, and then it sort of 209 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,680 stopped and glanced at me quickly before it got up to it. 210 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,720 Then it walked into the road in front of me, crossed the road 211 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,320 and went down into a ditch or ravine. 212 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,160 It must have hunkered down there because I tried looking for it 213 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,960 but couldn't see it. RC stated that the foliage on 214 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,960 the side of the road was not that thick or tall, so that's 215 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,440 why she assumed that it was trying to hide our seat. 216 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,480 Stated that the whole encounter only lasted for about 10 to 15 217 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,400 seconds and that there were no other cars. 218 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,320 Insight. She explained that the creature 219 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,800 was covered with brown, scraggly, coarse hair. 220 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,760 The hair on its head and forehead looked longer than the 221 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,120 hair on its body, which she described as being scraggly, 222 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,560 matted, dirty and coarse. I'm not sure, but the hair might 223 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:02,280 have been wet. When it ran it moved quickly and 224 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,560 held out its arms like a muscle man. 225 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480 It ran on two legs the whole time, but with a hunched over 226 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,600 posture. It looked like how a monkey 227 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,160 would run if it was on two legs. According to RC, the figure was 228 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,920 about 6 foot tall or maybe taller. 229 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,560 I had the impression that it wasn't old, but it was stocky, 230 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,360 muscular and very stout. When I asked her to compare the 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,800 body bill to a human, she replied I have never seen a 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800 person that was this muscular. It was tall and very, very 233 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640 stout. RC could not recount its facial 234 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,320 features. It only glanced to me quickly 235 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120 before it took off. But she did take note of its 236 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,280 feet, which were barefooted. Its feet looked big and thick. 237 00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,360 All I can think of at the time was that his feet look like Fred 238 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,120 Flintstone's feet. What was so strange, admitted 239 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,880 RC, was that it was wearing a crude looking covering. 240 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,880 It looked brownish tan, a lot like a burlap material that was 241 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,880 very worn and frayed at the edges. 242 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,840 It was sort of draped over the shoulders or one shoulder over 243 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,320 its back, and it hung down to about its waist. 244 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040 RC could not be certain, but she thought that the creatures arm 245 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,120 and head went through a hole in the material. 246 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,320 The part that hung down looked unraveled and the whole thing 247 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,080 looked dingy and worn out. RC admitted to me that she was 248 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,000 just not sure what she'd seen. I thought I'd seen a caveman. 249 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,480 She started. She stated with a laugh. 250 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,320 But I know that it wasn't a caveman or bear or human. 251 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,240 I just didn't know what it was until I told my cousin DS after 252 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,960 I talked to him about it. I said I think that might have 253 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,560 been a skunk ape. I have always thought of the 254 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:37,080 creature I saw as a monkey man or a human monkey. 255 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,680 RC also admitted that the encounter, although over 10 256 00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:45,000 years ago and lasting only 10 to 15 seconds, has been firmly 257 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880 imprinted in her memory for a long time afterwards. 258 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,680 Related RC. I stopped driving down Hwy. 441. 259 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,280 Seeing that thing really scared me and it says. 260 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,400 Paines Prairie Reserve State Park was the first preserve 261 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,320 established in Florida in 1971 and made-up 21,000 pristine 262 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,600 acres of flatlands. It mainly consists of freshwater 263 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,080 marshes and wet prairies. The only major roads that bisect 264 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,600 the prairies, I-75 and Hwy. 441, provide a fleeting Vista into 265 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,600 the vast array of this mainly inaccessible yet richly 266 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:21,480 diversified habitat. Wow, that's really something. 267 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:26,360 Then it has the all the different expeditions and stuff 268 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,800 that this Kathy Betts, the investigators been on. 269 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,520 I think they've got some great investigators over here that 270 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,360 really are dedicated to find the truth and and their reports are 271 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,240 always well written. Just love this site. 272 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,880 Let's take a look at another case here. 273 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,120 We'll do this one and then in two more. 274 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,000 This says it happened 1985 in the summer, August actually on a 275 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,920 weekend down there in Broward County, Florida. 276 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,520 Nearest town corals, Coral Springs nearest Rd. 277 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,680 Wiles Rd. If we go to the actual count, 278 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,640 the observer says back in 1985 or 86 my family relocated to 279 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,600 Coral Springs from Miami before the Sawgrass Expressway was 280 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880 built. We live so close to the glaze 281 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,080 that my friends and I used to ride our skateboards to the 282 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,920 levee and watch the Everglades burn. 283 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480 At the time some fire bucket set quite a blaze. 284 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,680 On some mornings we wait to cars and yards covered in ash. 285 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,960 Needless to say, a lot of wildlife began to migrate closer 286 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,600 to our neighborhood, including deer, alligators and whatever 287 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,720 else. One night we pitched a tent in 288 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,520 my friend's backyard approximately 50 yards from a 289 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,160 canal that separated us from the apartment complex. 290 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,160 Across from that was the beginning of the Everglades. 291 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,320 The fires have been raging for weeks and people in the area 292 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440 were reporting missing pets, some which were inside 6 foot 293 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,480 privacy fences. That's pretty amazing. 294 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,360 I just think about that. These guys live right next to 295 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680 the Everglades. Goes right up to the right up to 296 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,680 where the swamp starts, this massive, massive, you know, 297 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,520 watery Prairie almost area full of all kinds of wildlife. 298 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,920 We used to run between houses to cut through to go home. 299 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,920 And this particular night before we called it quits, we played a 300 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,880 bit of hide and seek. I remember hiding under a window 301 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,880 box behind a Bush and getting spotted by an unmarked police 302 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,920 car. We really thought we were in 303 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,280 trouble but the police were looking for a person that had 304 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,120 been peeping in windows. We assured the police we weren't 305 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,160 the perps and went about our business and went to the tent. 306 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,560 Three kids in a tent don't sleep well so we were having fun 307 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,320 cracking jokes and noticed a sound coming from across the 308 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960 canal approximately 100 yards away. 309 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,280 Something was slamming the dumpster lids and the complex 310 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,840 across the way and making low deep sounds and grunts. 311 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,120 These were tall dumpsters. You'd have to get a boost to 312 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,720 lift the lid. We got real quiet trying to 313 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,080 listen to and figure out what it could be. 314 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,920 At first we figured a cow got loose and possibly was bumping 315 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,000 the dumpster, but it became evidence that wasn't so. 316 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,160 One of the kids I was with turned on a flashlight and 317 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,240 started making shadow puppets with his ET stuffed animal. 318 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000 Then the thing from across the canal took notice of us for the 319 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,440 first time. The grunts were still audible, 320 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,480 but with what I would say was a hint of curiosity. 321 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,960 We got quiet and real concerned, putting two and two together. 322 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,400 Could this be what the police were looking for? 323 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,599 The steps grew closer and closer. 324 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,480 I remember we tried to figure out what it was, if it was 325 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,119 quadrupled or biped. When the steps finally stopped, 326 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,319 the breathing grew louder than splash. 327 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,000 Whatever it was, it was 50 yards from us and coming in our 328 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,520 direction. We sprinted to the house, waking 329 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,080 up my friend's family. They were woken by three 330 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,800 screaming kids at 2:00 AM exclaiming something was out 331 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240 there. His dad grabbed a shotgun and 332 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,320 turned on the flood and turned on the floodlights. 333 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,280 He went out to look around and found the tent was demolished 334 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,600 and covered in water. I swear I could feel this thing 335 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760 right around the corner in the shadows looking at us. 336 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,720 We did not let his father investigate further until 337 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,240 morning and couldn't believe the tent had been moved from its 338 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,800 position. I have no doubt that had we 339 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,880 stayed in the tent that night, this story would be much 340 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,880 different, if at all. I am 35 now and have never 341 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,000 forgotten that night. Also noticed cows don't swim and 342 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,280 alligators don't jump. Chain link fences. 343 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,920 Yes, two others not including parents were witnesses. 344 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,960 Other stories there were people talking about the missing pets. 345 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,160 I just found this site and read the Wiles Rd. incident and 346 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,320 thought you should know it wasn't the only time. 347 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,680 It was very late 2:00 AM and then says environment close to 348 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,840 swamp, very dry conditions. So here they are in this drought 349 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560 situation, possibly driving these things into populated 350 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,000 areas where they can feed at now, it says. 351 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,600 Follow up investigation by BFR reporter Dave Wright. 352 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,920 This witness was interviewed on the afternoon of April 19th, 353 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,600 2007. In my opinion he is entirely 354 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,880 credible. According to the witness, the 355 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,200 police had received reports for several days about a strange 356 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,800 prowler seen running between houses and through properties in 357 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,000 the darkness and possibly looking into windows. 358 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,520 He said there were also numerous reports of pets disappearing 359 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,280 overnight from fenced yards. He described the deep, agitated 360 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,720 grunting sounds occurring as something was going through the 361 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,880 tall, heavy lidded dumpsters across a canal from where they 362 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,280 were camped. As the apparent source of these 363 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,080 sounds begin to approach their spot, the witness recalls a 364 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760 specific discussion about the footfalls, whether they were 365 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,000 from A4 legged animal or A2 legged animal. 366 00:19:20,360 --> 00:19:23,120 They eventually surmised that it must be two legged and he 367 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,240 described the steps as distinct and heavy. 368 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,880 They were just beginning to speculate that it might be a 369 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,880 prowler. The police were looking for it 370 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,320 when they headed when they heard the loud splash, which seemed to 371 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,240 be something large begin to cross the canal 50 yards away. 372 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,160 Their tent was a short distance from the friend's yard. 373 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,480 Less than a minute pass between them fleeing to the house from 374 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,800 the tent and his friend's dad's coming out hurriedly through the 375 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,320 sledding glass door to turn on the backyard light. 376 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,120 Soon thereafter, the father came out with his shotgun and found 377 00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:56,480 the tent leveled and covered with mud and water. 378 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,840 The boys felt the animal was still nearby. 379 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,680 They did not want him to investigate further that night. 380 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,120 The next morning, they saw that the tent had been completely 381 00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,880 lifted off the ground with the stakes pulled out of the ground. 382 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,560 Some of the contents were strewn about as if the tent was turned 383 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,840 over and shaken out. They might have been looking for 384 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,440 lunch. It's got a picture here where 385 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,760 this happened at, at from Google. 386 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,240 Very, very cool sighting. OK, we'll look at two more here 387 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,760 now. This sighting is dated November 388 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:31,960 21st and 25th. 2009 it says state Florida County Escambia 389 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,360 County location details take US 29 N from Cantonment, FL 390 00:20:37,360 --> 00:20:40,240 approximately 15 miles. Take first right upon see the 391 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,960 town of Boja sign that's pronounced Boji, but there's 392 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,760 really is no town there any longer. 393 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,560 Go to end of Rd. where campsite and boat ramps are. 394 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,280 Hike N along the river falling to track. 395 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,760 That becomes a game trail. Pretty detailed directions 396 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,840 there. Nearest town century Florida, 397 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,120 nearest Rd. US Hwy. 29. 398 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,000 The observer says. On Saturday, November 21st, 399 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,120 2009, I went squirrel hunting in the Escambian River Management 400 00:21:08,360 --> 00:21:10,960 area in Escambia County, Florida. 401 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,320 I began to walk into the woods at approximately 6:00 AM. 402 00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,160 The area I chose to hunt is a section of woods bordering the 403 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,760 river. As I was walking, I heard a low 404 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,840 guttural vocalization that sounded almost like a Native 405 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,360 American dialect, only in a much lower range than most people 406 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:29,160 would speak in. It reminded me of the samurai 407 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440 chatter that I've heard on your website and others. 408 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,280 I heard the sounds for about 10 to 15 seconds and then it once 409 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,880 again a minute later. On Wednesday, November 25th, 410 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,720 2009, my oldest daughter and I returned to the area to hunt 411 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,160 squirrel. We hiked back into the woods for 412 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,920 about a mile and found a log to sit on amidst several promising 413 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,640 looking trees with squirrel nest. 414 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,000 On the way into the area, we walked a green. 415 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,720 We walked a game trail and smelled that wet deer smell that 416 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 you often encounter around white tailed deer. 417 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,800 Almost immediately upon arriving, my daughter asked if I 418 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,840 heard what she did. I asked her what it sounded like 419 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,840 and she said it sounded like someone walking through the 420 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,000 woods. I told her I did hear it. 421 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,720 I asked her if she thought it was a deer, wild hog, or some 422 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,280 other animal. She said no daddy, it sounds 423 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,280 like a man walking. I had noticed myself that the 424 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,840 steps sounded bipedal. Upon leaving the area, I decided 425 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,800 to take the opportunity to show her various signs of wildlife in 426 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,880 the area. The game trail goes through the 427 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,200 middle of a small Meadow. The Meadow contain tracks from 428 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,840 deer, wild hog, Turkey, armadillo, raccoon, etcetera. 429 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,400 There are many fallen logs in the area from Hurricane Ivan a 430 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,520 few years ago and they had become prime location for Grubbs 431 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,760 didn't have it. This is probably why so many 432 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,160 different types of animals are making use of the Meadow. 433 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,040 One track in particular caught our attention. 434 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,680 It was the bare footprint of what appeared to be a large man, 435 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,160 2 prints included. My size 13 boot is 16 inches in 436 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960 length and this print was approximately an inch longer 437 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,520 than my boot. The print was made in a soft 438 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,040 mound around an Ant bed. I placed my boot print in the 439 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,400 mound as closely as I could. The surrounding ground was too 440 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,480 hard for tracks to show. My daughter immediately assumed 441 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,200 that it was a Bigfoot track. There are stories of swamp 442 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,880 burgers in this area so it really did not surprise me. 443 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,120 I took a photo with my cell phone, which as soon as I can 444 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,680 figure out how to download to the computer, I will be glad to 445 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,360 provide. I put a three inch shotgun shell 446 00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:30,680 in the print crossways to show the size. 447 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,320 It was about 5 inches wide in the heel and closer to 7 to 8 448 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,480 inches broad just before the toes. 449 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,440 Also notice. No, but I will continue to hunt 450 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,000 this area and keep BFR updated on any evidence I see or hear 451 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,040 other witnesses. My 11 year old daughter on the 452 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,280 second incident we were hunting for squirrel. 453 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,080 Other stories? Yes. 454 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,840 Several years ago just to the South, a hunter reported being 455 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,280 knocked out of his tree stand by a large hairy biped. 456 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Several years ago to the north, a fisherman reported a large 457 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,120 Harry biped wading toward his boat in the river swamps while 458 00:24:03,120 --> 00:24:05,840 he was fishing. Various accounts growing up in 459 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800 the area of Swamp burgers, some of which were from my 460 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,280 grandfather. Times and conditions Early 461 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,880 morning on the 1st encounter with noise from across the river 462 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,480 and the 2nd morning walking sounds mid morning on the track 463 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,600 Finder. Clear cool fall morning with 464 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,640 excellent visibility. Environment River swamp very 465 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,080 dense with undergrowth in areas off game trails. 466 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,640 You would be hard pressed to walk through the area without 467 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,960 staying on the game trails. Well, sounds like a really 468 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000 swampy area now, the investigator says. 469 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:37,640 The witness added that he judged the creature to be about 60 470 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,120 yards away when it vocalized both times. 471 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,600 The area has a history of sightings, has many water 472 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,120 sources, lost vegetation and Plymouth wildlife. 473 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,880 His report is very complete and there was little else that he 474 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,000 could add. He is going to continue to hunt 475 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,240 in this area and agreed to keep us informed of any future 476 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,800 incidents. Very very cool report. 477 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,600 We'll do one more here and finish this up. 478 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,480 This last sighting is dated August 2017. 479 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,080 State Florida County Marion County Location Details Location 480 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,800 was Hopkins Prairie and Ocala National Forest Nearest town 481 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:15,360 Fort McCoy Nearest Rd. Fr 86 The experiencer tells us 482 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,800 we were driving 2 jeeps through the forest. 483 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,760 Driving along the inner perimeter Rd. of Hopkins 484 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,960 Prairie. We saw a structure in the 485 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,080 distance and wanted to know what it was. 486 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,800 We found what appeared to be a concrete boat ramp in the middle 487 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,320 of the Prairie. We didn't know the name of where 488 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,000 we were until we started to leave. 489 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,840 Looking across the Prairie toward the campground, which we 490 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,920 also didn't know was there. We saw this large creature about 491 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,080 100 to 150 yards away. We just stood there not saying a 492 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,400 word at first. I remember saying to myself, 493 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 look at those shoulders. It was moving around the edge of 494 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,440 the campground right where the grass for the Prairie starts. 495 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,520 I wear glasses and I had them on so I could see, but not as well 496 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,400 as the others. I remember it was just kind of 497 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,520 walking in a small area, like it was trying to decide what it was 498 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280 going to do. And I remember its arms were 499 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,960 long, just down by its side swaying. 500 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,640 I don't think it's solace. It turned and walked up into the 501 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,840 campground and disappeared. We drove over to the campground, 502 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,480 still not knowing it was a campground, to look around. 503 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,720 The campground was closed, so we went around the fence. 504 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,200 We went to where we saw it and noticed a footprint in the wet 505 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,040 ground. We also noticed spots where it 506 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,760 walked through the tall grass. My nephew tried to step out the 507 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,240 paces. It appeared to step, but the 508 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,840 stride was too wide for him. We didn't see anyone at the 509 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,800 campground and it appeared that no one had been to the 510 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,240 campground. On the way into the Prairie and 511 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,360 before the siding, we saw an abundance of wildlife, which I 512 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:47,160 thought was odd. We saw Turkey, deer, Panther 513 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,680 tracks, which we have picture of. 514 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,360 And on the way out of after the sighting, we saw a black bear 515 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:54,920 that we took a photo that we took a video of. 516 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,280 All of these animals except for the bear we saw within a matter 517 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,960 of minutes of each other. When we saw the creature, we 518 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,640 just stood there, didn't reach for cameras. 519 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,480 I never even thought to take a picture, but we did take 520 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,880 pictures of other animals. My sister-in-law said it was 521 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,360 reddish brown in color. Well, that's interesting. 522 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:15,320 It's almost like they were just done by this thing. 523 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,120 Now it's got a picture of these folks with the two jeeps there. 524 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,920 You can find that over at. I'll put the link to Kofi to the 525 00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,840 BFR website. Also notice found what appears 526 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,840 to be a large footprint at location where we saw large 527 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,560 creature have picture of footprint. 528 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,400 Yeah. I'm not sure if that's what's 529 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,960 here in front of this Jeep or what, but if it is, that's an 530 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,000 unbelievably massive track. I mean, I don't know how big 531 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,080 this thing was. Other witnesses. 532 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,880 There were four witnesses, myself, my son, nephew, 533 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,680 sister-in-law, stories, other non time and conditions. 534 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,360 It was afternoon environment. It was sunny day with white 535 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:52,520 clouds in the sky. Visibility was excellent. 536 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,960 He knows a lot of trick over there. 537 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,200 Follow up investigation report, investigator Matthew money 538 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,280 Maker. I spoke with the witness Matt in 539 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,920 the center. He's a credible witness. 540 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,680 He and his family are willing to appear on camera for local media 541 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,200 or documentary projects. The campground he mentions is 542 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,640 the one noted on Google Maps when you search for Hopkins 543 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,360 Prairie. It is in the southwest corner of 544 00:28:14,360 --> 00:28:17,240 the Prairie. The campground is only open in 545 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,560 winter months after big rain events and the Prairie becomes a 546 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,760 lake. There were four witnesses. 547 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,080 The Bigfoot was 100 yards away. They observed it for roughly 30 548 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,960 seconds. The Florida Trail runs alongside 549 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,960 the campground. There is a core correlation 550 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,840 between many sightings and major hiking trails like the Florida 551 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,440 Trail, the Buckeye Trail, the Appalachian Trail, the 552 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,880 Continental Divide Trail and the Pacific Coast Trail, especially 553 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920 where these trails are close to isolated lakes. 554 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,040 Yeah, you can see it. Really something. 555 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,000 Plenty of water, plenty of timber around there. 556 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,440 This spring fed pond near the campground is the only clean 557 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,200 water for miles around. This is where you should look 558 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760 for tracks if you decide to check out the area. 559 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Some great sightings out of Florida there. 560 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,920 I'll put this link over there. Kofi. 561 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,640 As always, thanks to the folks that support the program over 562 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,320 there.
