SO EP:673 The Florida Skunk Ape

SO EP:673 The Florida Skunk Ape

In this episode, we’re heading deep into the muggy heart of Florida — into the swamps, forests, and backroads most people only see from the safety of an airboat. Out here, under the cover of night and cypress moss, something moves through the shadows. Something big. Something that hundreds of people claim to have seen over the last two centuries — but science still refuses to acknowledge.

We’re talking about the Florida Skunk Ape — the Sunshine State’s answer to Bigfoot, and one of the most unsettling mysteries still hiding in America’s wilderness.You might think Florida’s too developed for anything unknown to stay hidden. But across generations, the reports haven’t stopped. Law enforcement officers, hunters, families, and veterans have all described seeing the same thing: a massive, hair-covered figure with glowing red eyes and a smell so strong it made their stomachs turn.

These aren’t campfire tales — they’re official reports, eyewitness accounts, and in some cases, physical evidence collected by people who had everything to lose and nothing to gain by speaking up.

We’ll explore nearly 200 years of sightings and encounters, from frontier settlers in the early 1800s who described “man-sized monkeys” raiding fishing camps, to the terrifying 1929 incident at the Perky Bat Tower, where something powerful enough to shake a thirty-foot structure drove out every bat inside. We’ll look at the case of two Palm Beach County deputies in the 1970s — both seasoned outdoorsmen — who came face to face with a seven-foot creature while investigating livestock attacks.

They even recovered hair samples caught on a barbed wire fence. You’ll also hear about the Vietnam veteran who, in 1977, watched an eight-foot creature emerge from the mangroves behind his home and was so shaken that he cleared thirty feet of brush from around his property just to sleep at night. And then there are the photographs. In 2000, an elderly woman in Sarasota County sent two chilling images to the sheriff’s office, showing what appeared to be a reddish-brown, ape-like creature crouched behind her backyard.

The so-called Myakka Photos are still being analyzed and debated over two decades later.We’ll talk about Dave Shealy, the man who’s dedicated his life to proving the Skunk Ape exists — running his Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in the heart of the Everglades. His 2000 video footage of a creature running through the swamp is still one of the most-watched cryptid videos online. But this episode goes deeper than the sightings.

We’re asking why so many people — trained law enforcement officers, hunters, and locals — believe they’ve seen something that modern science says shouldn’t exist. We’ll dive into the psychology, the skepticism, the cultural roots of the legend, and even the Seminole people’s stories of Esti Capcaki, the “tall hairy man” that predates European settlement by centuries.

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel the humid air, hear the buzz of the swamp at night, and maybe understand why so many Floridians won’t step foot into certain parts of the wilderness after dark. This isn’t just another campfire tale. This is a journey through real encounters, credible witnesses, and the enduring mystery of something hiding out there in the heart of Florida’s wild places.

Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode might just make you slow down a little the next time you’re driving through the backroads of the Everglades after sunset — especially if you see a pair of glowing eyes staring back at you from the tree line.This is the episode the swamp doesn’t want you to hear.

My guest on the bonus show this week is David from the United Kingdom. He wrote in to the show a few weeks back to share his experiences with a Tic Tac shaped craft and some close encounters with what he believes to be Alien entities. These stories are definitely out there, and David understands that they are truly unbelievable. So that said, you can be the judge. David sent over around 15 illustrations that help paint the picture of his experiences, so head over and follow us on Instagram and take a look at those.

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

SO EP:147 Is There Something To This Sasquatch Thing?

My guest tonight comes to us from my home state of North Carolina. Chris was a staunch skeptic when it came to Bigfoot, but he has had some encounters near the Uwharrie National Forest that may have changed his mind! Check out his email below. Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Chris Writes....Hey Brian! First of all, Love the show! You do a bang up job! So, I’ve had 3 encounters with what I believe have been Sasquatch in central NC. It wasn’t until the 3rd one happened that I started putting pieces together. Just a little history about myself. I have lived around the Uwharrie National Forest 95% of my life. I’ve always heard stories of people seeing Bigfoot type creatures or hearing screams, whoops and so forth. But, being I have always enjoyed the outdoors hunting, fishing and gold panning - I never believed in any of this. Finding Bigfoot came and did a show in the Uwharries and had their “town hall meeting” at the fire station that I volunteered at. I was sick at the time and couldn’t go to the meeting but I wanted to go hear these “crazy peoples” stories and see what it was all about. At the next fire meeting all the firemen where laughing and joking about “these people” and their outlandish stories. So to say I was a skeptic was an understatement. Fast forward a few years. I talked with a guy at church who knew I was into gold panning and wanted me to come down and check his creek to see if it had any gold. I agreed and said I wasn’t sure when I could come but I would first free second I had. I ended up getting off work around lunch time one day and decided to go down and check it out. They weren’t home so I parked at the gate and walked in to the property about 200 yards or so. To give you an idea of the landscape as you walk down an old logging road there is a mountain immediately to my right that would be tough to walk up and had a power line running up and over the mountain top. To my left is about 20ft of rough brush lining the creek. The creek banks are about 4ft tall with the creek running in the bottom. So as I’m walking I’m trying to find a clear spot to get down to the creek. Knowing this area is swarming with Timber Rattlers I’m taking my time and watching my steps carefully. So at about the 200yrd area I find a nice, clear, pretty level spot to climb into the creek. In the creek in a huge flat rock and I decide to use it as a work station to put my backpack and stuff on to keep them dry. So I’m here about 2 hrs and decide to stop and take a break. I’m standing there drinking some water and watching leeches swim around my rubber boots. All of a sudden something came flying through the tree tops. My first thought is “I’ve never heard a bird flying through the tree tops hitting limbs and leaves like that!” My second thought was maybe it was acorns falling? But I’m surrounded by pines! And it was moving from left to right and not straight down! So as I’m standing there scratching my head I hear something else! This time I track it with my eyes and see a rock about the size of a Jr sized football fly over my head, over the creek and land in the brush on the other side with a thud! I’m standing there with my mouth agape! I put my hand on my 9mm and say out loud “You stay over there and I’ll stay over here!” I pack my stuff up and head for my truck! As I’m walking out I feel like I’m being watched! So I have my head on a swivel! At the end of the logging road where I parked is what was used as the logging deck, so it’s kind of open. The tree line felt like a tidal wave that was going to engulf me if I didn’t get away! I threw my stuff in the bed of my truck and hauled ass! When I got to the next stop sign I had to take a minute and get myself together! I was shook! I’ve got more detail about the aftermath and 2 more encounters while hunting and fishing if you are interested.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
