The Sunshine State has beautiful beaches, thrilling theme parks, and great nightlife; but did you know we are also home to the elusive and mysterious Skunk Ape?
All im gonna say if it is a man,then sign this dude up for the Olympics because it would take a lot of strength and balance to run, or even walk through all that marshy terrain with ease.
Looks like he was walking through sawgrass which isn't exactly impossible especially if he was wearing a fur suit and avoided the quicksand. If it's anything like inlets around the gulf coast he could be walking on ground containing rocks and shells that can support his weight. And no telling what kind of footwear he may have had on or if he set up some sort of makeshift catwalk. And this could've been something he planned just to get a story going.
@@FrankAndrews footwear? What are you talking about? The skunk ape does not wear footwear!!! This footage is very famous and is 22 years old and has never been debunked!!! Days after it was released news crews came to the area to interview Dave and he took him right to the area where the video was taken, there was water in places around the Sawgrass that was 6-12 inches deep!!, it was wet and muddy there and this creature just glided right through the area. Skunk ape has been seen by 2 many people including some cops even
I'm a Florida Cracker. I grew up in the swamps. Having seen similar things like this, well all I can say is " there are things in the swamps that are beyond comprehensive thought ". I've seen many things that cannot be explained. Lights floating above water, creatures hard to explain, sounds of no animal that I know. You take risk going into the swamps, you never really know what could or will happen.
I've heard of 2 stories about my friends seeing a 7-foot tall grey-furred ape. I know that it might not be real, but i kind of like bigfoot stories. I like the portrayment of bigfoot more like a orangutan than this stereotypical. annoying blood-thirsty creature.
The skunk ape in Florida is not as big as the Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia & Alberta. The Skunk Ape is generally a bit bigger then an orangutan, bigger males just over 6 feet. Animal species generally get larger the farther north you go, thats why bears in Alaska are so big. Animals need to be bigger to survive the colder weather up north. Sasquatches in PNW, BC, Alberta can get up to 9 feet tall but are generally in the 7-8 foot range according to witnesses
@@misguidedangel6550 That is a very accurate description of why most large animals are in the northern part of America and Canada. I believe you. Not every story especially with people claiming to be eyewitnesses or hearing of unusual grunts and screams in the night or day is false. And there are recordings of those sounds played at midnight radio talk shows that I have hear at home on the radio.
I think I saw one of these creatures crossing the interstate in Louisiana in 2013. There is no way on this earth what I saw was a man and if it was, the nfl should recruit more vagabonds. Why would a 7+ feet tall man dressed in all black be walking down the interstate in middle of nowhere at 5am.
@@queene813 less than a half mile south of exit 40 on I-49 northbound. Look at that spot on google maps and notice that it is a wooded bottleneck that connects the the woods around chicot state park to the atchafalaya basin to the east. I’m just speculating here, but if I was a large animal that had to harvest thousands of calories a day to survive, I would not stay in the same place all the time. I believe these creatures go through cyclical mini migrations where they move from one wilderness to another. I’d bet money that places like this that bottleneck between a large woods like that would be a great place to try to hear or see one of these creatures.
People just be strolling through the woods and the middle of the night all across America for over 100 years and Canada too? Almost every culture in the world has these types of abimals@@AtticTapes14
This clearly bigfoot. The reason he's walking so fast is coz he arranged to meet the aliens for tea and cake and he's late. He also had to stop off at Walmart to speak to elvis and buy the cakes
The era of the skeptic/ridiculing butthead is now at an end. The Pentagon and military have acknowledged the existence of, and are investing money in research into UFO/UAP, Skinwalker Ranch, etc. They have openly acknowledged the existence of UAP. We've been told for decades those don't exist. If they do, who knows what else does. Enjoy the smell of your swamp gas.
If you think someone can run in water 6-12 inches deep, through thick saw grass in the Florida heat and humidity & would risk getting shot by someone I'd like to see you do it. The footage has never been debunked.
all these people have the skunk ape mixed up, the real story of the skunk ape is from the lacoochee area when and imigrant from south america came to florida on a ship with no papers, he moved to the lacoochee area with no papers and lived in the woods near an old ladys house. he stunk so bad from living in the woods , she called him skunk ape, yet she left food on a plate for him every night on top of a fence post. that is how the original skunk ape started back in the 70's. what you see on this video is a bigfoot my friends!!
@@donellmason9976 there are many horror movies with sasquatch, Bigfoot and skunk ape too. There's actually several Sasquatch horror movies for free right here on UA-cam
@@SanguiniCore many believe the stereotype to be true, at least with some of these creatures. Too many reports of people going missing in the woods never seen again, reports of big, bipedal hairy creatures chasing a hikers and the hikers never seen again. There is even a young boy who went missing back in the 1960s in the USA in the forest he was never seen again but witnesses saw a tall, human hominid looking creature with long hair all over its body that the witnesses described as a "Wildman" running up a mountain with a young boy over his shoulder. Some Bigfoots can indeed be very vicious.
The government won't take this vid down because there's reasonable doubt. It's all that's needed. I don't doubt there has been real vids out there of clear shots of these things. But we won't ever see them
@@sonicgangs4946 the guy who shot the film also took a lie detector test and passed. Pretty unreliable testing, and there were like 5or6 people that said it was them. Look up patterson film hd 60fps its 18 sec long. Pay close attention to the muscle vibration in the legs as she takes steps. You cant fake that! Not now not then
Yeah but every single person who claimed to be the man in the suit couldn’t even tell the investigators how to get to the film sight.. the Paterson film was about as real as it gets
@@jameshornback4343 you tube patterson film 60fps its 18 sec long. Pay attention to the muscle movement in the thighs that move down to the calf muscle. Cant fake that! Thats what happens when something really heavy takes a step
It could be real, but good Lord; there's what, 22 million people in Florida, hundreds of hunters trying to rid the Everglades of pythons; why hasn't it been video-d more or been found dead?
I have seen and encountered him or it i also have the best 4k video of it. No bs this is true i hunted big foot and the rebobs. No success on the last two but did get banging on trees back and massive rocks thrown no man is lifting.
You know, that video is really bad recording, all you need is a 2000’s cheap camera, 1 freind dressed in black and walking inhuman like and then get far away like 50 feet away and shake the camera vividly and boom, you got a “scary” story edit: plus i think skunk apes are smaller and more violent, if the possible “skunk ape” was real he would probably attack or run but that’s just me you know
Fake AF ! A guy in a suit ! And he’s even trying to replicate the arm swing as seen in the Patterson / Gimlin film ( which was undeniably the real deal )
@@MalcolmTjones lol 😂 people who have no life , nothing better to do than just that . You should study up a bit , and you’ll see the details that differentiate this fake ass BS video and the Patterson Gimlin real McCoy .
@@misguidedangel6550 stop it..youve obviously never walked through water and muck..the beginning of the video hes not even really walking hes just dragging his feet through it. Then the run, its not like he's moving at super speed..just about every large animal species can haul ass but for some reason Bigfoot and the skunkape move in slow motion. If you believe this you're going to fall for alot of fake crap. And the footage isnt 22yrs old.
Judging by the way that the suit fits it could almost be a wingsuit. there is some serious clothing flap between the upper arm and torso. and I do believe that it probably exists. this vid is a poor example from a dude who spent a career researching and needed validation much like T(Fr)aud Standing.
@@misguidedangel6550 so the footage is 23yrs old and they just sent it to the news 3yrs ago...hell of alot of time to keep such an amazing discovery secret.
@@misguidedangel6550 all we need is 1 actually photo that isn't blury or physical evidence that isn't tree knocks, thrown rocks or broken branches. You know actually scientific evidence. DNA, hair that isn't goat hair or deer hair, a dead body etc. This isn't rocket science.
