Creatures, Myths & Legends

'Bigfoot' filmed traipsing through swamp

A mysterious figure was caught on camera by a canoist in marshlands outside of Tampa, Florida.
The video was recorded in Lettuce Lake Park, a 240-acre region of Hillsborough County consisting of extensive swampland and hardwood forests that remain popular visitor attractions.

The footage shows an unidentified creature slowly making its way through the water in the background while partially obscured by the foliage in the foreground. The figure is difficult to make out in detail but does appear to be humanoid in shape.
The person who filmed it had initially believed the creature to be a bear but was later told by a park ranger that bears are only rarely sighted in the area and generally keep away from the swamp.

"I never put much faith in the old skunk ape legends but when I looked closer I noticed that it had long, swinging arms and moved through very thick swamp with ease," he wrote.

Bigfoot Ale is a pretty good barleywine. If you want an interesting experience, try several consecutive vintages to see how the malt and hop characters change.

The movements of the subject are way too heedless for me to consider this video to be authentic.

If you are referring to me, I do understand. I'm a pr*** about bigfoot shtuff in general, KevinP. I'm wasn't taking aim at you. You amaze me, QC, you really do. You know more about BF sightings and reports than I ever will yet, you do not believe. Maybe it's just me, but if I don't believe in - say, "slender man", it would be a cold day in hell that you would ever catch me posting in a slender man thread, let alone vigorously studying the subject matter. ¡Ay, caramba! LOL!

LOL! I'm hardly a lone non-believer in these threads, Earl. And quite a few non-believer posters in bigfoot threads on UM know far more than I do. One hardly has to believe in something to take an interest in it. UM is full of proof of that. So are movie... [More]

Just like with Aliens, discussing Bigfoot and speculating on what would be required for them to exist is an interesting mental exercise and not at all a waste of time, IMHO. The government pays probably hundreds of people to sit around and think of "What If..?" situations. People say BF is impossible, but that is just ignorant. What BF is, is not evidenced. There isn't any earthly variable why BF could not be real. Food, habitat, anatomy, all can be discussed. Everything always comes back to, "Show me the body". Every other point can be discussed to death. And in many cases, the discussions ar... [More]

Yeah, but when one is done this badly, it's in their own best interest to appear that they are paying attention and not just shouting "AMEN" to every obvious faked job that comes along.
