 In case you missed it, here's some scenes from part one of my Thanksgiving cello camp out. Got a coral snake here. I'm not going to get real close because that's venomous. Red touch yellow, killer fella. Cute. Monkey was worried because I just brought enough food for supper. He's like, what if you get hungry in the middle of the night? I said, I'll be fine. So I open this up and here these are. Oh, bless her heart. But we got flung. There we go. It wasn't too bad. I'm an idiot. It's up here blowing the horn like mad. We're almost to the gate. All right. Hear it? Okay, hang on guys. Well, that's Monkey's camera. Just had an airboat just right up to the... I've seen tire tracks. They unload them there, but he ran right up to the bank. Okay. So that guy dropped that guy off and he walked right past here. And then it looked like he started walking up the road there. So I don't know. Maybe he's camping and they took him for a ride. Don't matter as long as they ain't bothering me. It's almost story time. Okay guys. So I'm sitting down. I'm kind of laying down because my back is really killing me. I got plenty of room to sit up in this thing. I don't have it all the way up yet. So this is what I got to drink. I know everybody does these reviews too, but, you know, I've always brought something different to drink, whether I'm filming or not. See, Arizona. Fruit punch. So all-natural fruit juice cocktail. 23 ounces to 680 milliliters. So I'm going to give this a try. Contains 10% juice. Serving size is 8 fluid ounces, so they consider this serving shake well. I do not think this is an alcohol drink. That kind of sucks. But I'm going to try it. Okay, so the story on that thing is that monkey was having a yard sale a couple weeks ago and you guys are kind of crooked here trying to fix you. And this guy, he bought something. He just walked past and he goes down to the store and he bought a couple things off. Every once in a store and he came back and he gave that to her and said, give this to your old man. I thought it was an alcohol drink, but apparently it's not, but that's okay. We'll have one next time. But it is something different. So we're going to put this tab, set it down here and drop the light. All right, Jesus. All right, I'll put it back here behind me. Let's give this a shot. Two thumbs up, five out of five stars. All right guys, I got to do this again. I thought I was recording, but apparently I wasn't. So I got to do all this again for you. Citrus County, Florida. Here's some reports. Here we go. October 10th, Class B, possible footprint found in vocalizations heard in the Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area. Now, that's just, that's not far from here. It's kind of any, it's out a little farther than what we are. If I left here in a car, I could be there probably in about 10 or 15 minutes. But as the crow flies, it's not that far. September 10th, or September 2010, Class A, man described several compelling incidents while hunting in the Witlukuchi State Forest. Now, we've had you guys out there before in that old cemetery, there was a really old cemetery out there to where there was a teacher buried and some say it was her students and I was also reading where it was her kids that's buried there. So I don't know, no one knows for sure. But there's a little town, it's a ghost town, there's not much left of it anymore, hardly anything at all. There's some remnants, you can tell, it was called Manfield. So July, 1983, Class B, father and son were out scouting for deer when they spot large eyes eight feet off the ground, also heard loud scream. If you guys remember that last year, last year on my solo in December on my solo yearly annual solo camp out, I saw them eyes across the river and they were about eight feet off the ground. I seen them in my light. Okay guys, I'm not crazy, but just about a minute ago, right through them trees there on the other side of the river, I just seen two eyes walking, kind of like a human. March 1961, Class B, man recalls a possible up close night time encounter on Gilcrest Island. I'll have to take you there sometime, it's really cool. All right now, let's see here. We'll start with this one, report received from the GCBRO online report submission form. This was July 1974, time was 9 to 10 a.m. location in Inverness, Florida, Citrus County. We're in Inverness right now. Well, we're kind of outside of Inverness. If I drive the car from here to our house, it's about a five minute drive, so we're pretty close. It's an hour and 20 minutes on the tractor, but you get the idea as soon as the crow flies, it wouldn't be that far. It is 5.8 miles exactly from the gate to our house. It's 5.8 miles. The terrain was wooded, observed. A couple friends and myself saw a large hairy man walking through the woods near our play area. It was probably 50 yards from us. I did not hear any noises as it walked, branches snapping, what not. I can't recall how many of us saw it because we never talked about it. Being kids around seven or eight at the time, we just shrugged it off and started playing. I remember not feeling scared. I know the thing had to have heard us coming. We were walking through the woods on the way to our play area because we were probably talking and carrying on like kids do. I don't remember it looking our way. I just remember seeing a side view as it walked in the opposite direction. I remember it was black or dark colored. I spent a fair amount of time in the woods and never saw anything like it ever again in the woods. That was description of creature, black or dark colored, large hairy man. Activities of witness, woke up, friends came over. We went out to go to the woods to play. Normal routine. Must have been summertime or on a Saturday or Sunday morning. So that's pretty cool. Now this next one is kind of a long one, but I'll go through as quick as I can because I've already done this once. Okay, I got a mosquito on me. He's not biting me, but he's on me. Possible... Okay, this was submitted by a witness on Monday, November 1st, 2010. A possible footprint found in vocalizations heard in the Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area. That's, like I said, that's not real far from here. You hear that? Anyway, if I was to drive a car from here to there, it'd be a 10-15 minute drive. Excuse me. The season was fall. Again, the year 2010, season was fall. The month was October. The date was 31st, October 31st, 2010. In Florida, Citrus County, like I said, not far from here. Location details. Located in the Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area, about five miles east of downtown Inverness. Nearest town is Inverness. Highway 44 is the nearest road. Okay, so let's shut these lights off. Okay, damn, this battery's going low, too. I only got 55 minutes left on it. All right, I got to hurry up, so... All right, it's locking on me for some reason. I don't know why these batteries are running down. It usually lasts a lot longer than this. Okay, so observed yesterday on October 31st, 2010. So this was reported November 1st, 2010. I was hunting in Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area with a friend when I discovered something that I thought was very unusual. It was around 10.20 in the morning when we decided to meet back up and do some scouting for our last afternoon hunt on my quota. I had set my friend up a few hundred yards or so from Highway 44 in the morning before daylight, and I continued on for about three-quarters to a mile on the edge of the swamp we were hunting. I know about where this supposedly happened at. Um, uh, where was I... Oh, um, as I continued on, I jumped something that ran off and sounded unlike a deer or a hog, but didn't think anything of it. We were walking back towards the truck and saw a couple of wet areas, puddles. When I said to my friend, let me check and see if there are any prints leading to the water to get a drink. So what they're doing is looking for, like, whatever they're hunting for, probably deer or hog, so they're looking for them prints. Okay, so, uh, as I continued on... Oh, wait a minute. Oh, as I continued on, there was something that ran off. Oh, okay, I already read that. Uh, as I walked over... over there to see, I looked down and noticed something out of the ordinary. I called my friend over to show him it was a footprint similar to a human's, not real large, but kind of wide, uh, for the length of it. It was so fresh that you could still see thermal lines in the mud from the bottom of the foot. It was the only one that we could really make out. The heel and ball made deep impressions while the toes were not really deep in the mud in comparison. I had my cell phone with me, so I took two photos of the print and one of the area we were in, then we marked a tree next to it so we could... so we could find it again. Like I said, these are screenshots that I took. Okay. It just seemed very odd to find a print like that in the middle of a swamp. Yeah, no kidding, right? We returned after lunch for an afternoon hunt. I did notice one other thing with the squirrels after we returned. I didn't go as far this time, but I noticed the squirrels barking more than usual off in the distance is how they warn others of pending dangers. They sound kind of like a bird, but if you see one, his tail will be flapping too. And they're really loud. As time went on, they got closer and closer to where I was sitting, and then all of a sudden went silent. Just an observation. I spent most of my life in the woods in Florida either hiking, biking, or hunting. This was the first time I noticed something like this. It's probably human. Yeah, he says, it's probably human, but who would be out there barefoot? Well, you got to sell that snake earlier. We got rattlesnakes, coral snakes. We've got a cacti. You just ain't walking around the swamp in your bare feet, you know? We got snapping turtles. And then he goes on to say, we ended up laughing quite hard about it after we named him Eddie the Yeti. Eddie the Yeti. And I will add, this is not the first time I have heard or smelt something out of the ordinary while in the woods. They say if there's a Sasquatch close, you'll get a bad smell. I also noticed, heard a couple of steps jumping into the brush before daylight that didn't resemble a deer, more like a bipedal, you know, two feet like a person type. Their print should still be there and rain is in the forecast in the next couple of days. And remember, this is 2010. I also have photos of the print. I wanted to take a cast before the rain, but have to work. Other witnesses, there were two, hunting, scouting, other stories, just what was posted in this. Timing conditions, approximately 10.30 a.m. sunny, around 70 to 75 degrees, like breeze environment, range from Cyprus wetland swamp to oak hammock with palmettos. That's what we got around here. This is, and it's, ironically, this is called oak hammock. I don't know why that's centered on me. But, um, so, it's, you know, the limbs kind of cover you and they're all oaks and we've got palmettos all around here. So, okay, follow-up investigation report by BFRO investigator Kathy Betts, B-E-T-Z. I spoke to S. That's all he'll give his name is S. I spoke to S over the phone about what occurred in the flying Eagle Management Wildlife Management Area. S. Anybody want to do some, okay, let me go to the next one here. Okay. S. Anybody want to do some scouting for a late afternoon hunt? His buddy stayed a few hundred yards from their vehicle while S hiked into the woods another mile or so. During this hike S stated that he heard something large run off into the woods which according to him did not sound like a typical hog or deer but being that S didn't see the source of the noise he thought a little of it. S did state that during this time he heard the squirrels going nuts in the distance and that their noise seemed to be getting closer to him. He said that when they got about a hundred yards away from him they went completely silent. After meeting back up with his buddy several muddy areas and puddles that would support any animal prints that they were interested in hunting. On the side of these puddles S and his buddy found one very distinct print that looked like a barefoot human track. Still being a good distance in the woods S and his buddy found found it very strange to see a barefoot human track. That's very Now he says I laid the butt of my muzzle loader next to the print for comparison. My butt stock is five inches long so I figured that the print was about ten about ten and a half inches long by two and a half inches at the heel three and a half inches at the ball of the foot and they looked deeper than what a human could make. I took a couple of pictures of the prints on my cell phone. Now he also took a photo of the area. S admitted that this was a rough estimation and cannot be sure of the exact mentions of the print. See photos below. I'll show them to you here real quick but if I can I'll download these for you so you can see them better. Here's the print and then there's where the area he was hunting in. If I can I'll download them and put them on the screen right now. Then it says S also shared an encounter that took place in the confines of the Seminole Ranch a few years earlier. I know where that is too. While scouting the confines of the ranch S found himself turned around and made his way to the place where he thought his vehicle was parked but he couldn't find it. Fearing that he was lost and with evening approaching S managed to send a few text messages to his friend to come and locate him. While S waited for his friend to arrive and direct him out of the woods S heard two or three very loud wood knocks very close to his location. About 30 seconds later S heard a few whistles from the directions of the woods of the wood knocks and then a bizarre vocalization that S had never experienced before. He says, I just can't describe what I heard. I was raised in Florida and have hunted here all my life and I know that whatever was making these noises wasn't anything I've ever heard before. Interesting. About a minute after hearing the vocalizations S heard another two or three softer wood knocks on the opposite side of where the original wood knocks and vocalization occurred. He said, this really scared me. I knew that whatever was making those noises was on either side of me. Fortunately, his friend showed up soon after S experienced this encounter. He was able to direct him out of the woods. After this encounter S looked online for big-foot audio recordings that matched the unexplained vocalizations he had heard that evening while looking through the BFRO database of big-foot recordings S stated that he found an exact match to what he had heard. He says, other than the whistle sounds at the end of this recording this is exactly what I heard. Now like I said, I don't have service here so the clip is called Growls and Whistlings it says to scroll down to this clip. This is from a collection of recordings from the Barrie and Morehead Experience Expeditions 1970s in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. So if I can I'll put those on right now. Now remember, those weren't if you heard them, they're not what he recorded. Those are exactly what the sounds that he did here. So now, all right the Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area or Water Management area is located in Southeast Citrus County made up of 10,000 acres of lakes, marshes, oak, highlands, and swamps. This area includes five miles of the Whittle Coochie River that's where we're good fishing a lot and we've camped down there. That's where I camped last year on my solo as a matter of fact with the Coochie River. That's also the year before when I went in November when we slept on the boat. So about BFRO Investigator Kathy Bats again BETZ Kathy has been a nurse for over 27 years and currently works in a busy ICU an amateur naturalist Kathy has been intrigued by the Bigfoot Phenomenon from an early age attended the following expeditions in 2006 this is all the expeditions she's attended 2006 Florida Expedition 2007 North Carolina Expedition 2008 South Florida Expedition 2008 North Florida Expedition 2009 Central Florida Expedition 2009 Utah Expedition 2010 Tennessee Survey Expedition 2011 East Texas Expedition 2012 North Florida Expedition again 2013 Michigan Upper Peninsula Expedition So anyway that's yeah very very interesting oh this is another one here ok here I read this one to you too this is another one remember this is all around me guys the first the first time Dave Shealy I think that's how you pronounce it S-H-E-A-L-Y saw a skunk ape he says he was 10 years old it was 1974 a few years after his father had come upon a set of footprints left by the creature an Everglades version of Bigfoot named for it's supposedly pungent odor that's why they call it skunk ape like I said they can smell usually smell a bad odor Dave was out deer hunting with his brother Jack in the swamp behind his house and what's now Big Cypress National Preserve when he encountered the ape the ape incarnate he says I was young across the swamp and my brother spotted it first but I couldn't see it over the grass I wasn't tall enough Shealy says my brother picked me up and I saw it about 100 yards away we were just kids but we'd heard about it and knew for sure what we were looking at it looked like a man but completely covered with hair oh there's I didn't get all of it it started again he and his brother stared at the and that's all I got I must have thought that was the end of it but anyway there's some stories that last one of course is in the Everglades it's about four hours south of me four four hours four or five hours south south of me so anyway I'm going to kick on the laptop and I'm going to watch a Christmas story and I'll be back with you I hit the hay like I said I've already done this once now I'm doing it again are you guys, is it me? you guys look awful blurry sorry if it is see I got 33 minutes left on this battery 24 minutes left on the card so I want to go ahead and I'm going to watch my movie and I'll be back with you guys before I go to sleep okay guys so I think I'm going to try to go to sleep I went out, stuck the fire I got the fire going, stood by the fire for a minute I can't watch my movie because the media player won't play it for some reason my computer plays it just the DVD I don't understand why the media player won't play it but so I can't watch my movie but right behind me I was taking myself out I could have sworn I heard footsteps two like somebody walking through like right behind me so I shined a lot around I didn't see anything, they stopped in a hollered hay I didn't yell real loud because you know the neighbors they're in bed now, they're asleep kids are asleep so I was like hay and then I heard it walking away and then just I didn't hear it anymore it was definitely like somebody walking like two feet I don't know guys but anyway so I think I'm going to try to go to sleep, it's early for me like real early it is it's 11 43 so I want to try to go to sleep so I started taking nap earlier right after I ate the turkey those potatoes and noodles I laid down here just to check my bed out next thing I know it's starting to nod off and then once I heard that horn blowing I was like oh crap, I bet you it's monkey well she must have got out her hay because she didn't come back so so everything should be here tomorrow so I think she's going to come around noonish probably a little afternoon but by then I'll be up and I'll get this tore down and then she can pull the truck like I said we're just going to sleep in the back of the Chevy tomorrow so because it's supposed to rain Sunday take the tent and have to hang it up in the garage the best I can let it dry out for a couple of days and then I got to take it back outside roll it all back up I don't like to do that just for one night to me it's not worth it just to do one night this wasn't bad at all probably I'd have to look at the video but I think it was like 10 minutes took me to set everything up so yeah so anyway if I think of anything else oh I don't think I got it because it was when I thought I was recording the big foot stories that I was reading you and I wasn't apparently Chris Warner said record and I just wanted to hit that red button down there to stop it so I don't know what happened there but the day after the microwave incident when it kicked on by itself the day after that a monkey's mom said that she had a hanger thrown at her a clothes hanger I can't verify that she was in a room by herself so this is third party so I don't know but that's what she said and then later that night which was the day after the microwave incident or was it the same day no it was the day after I believe about monkey a music box you know several years ago I had a a flea market for like 6 bucks it's a jewelry box music box and it has a little battery power clock in it if I can find a clip of that I'll throw it in for you now we'll do another episode of flea market finds okay so today excuse me this is the first find I got I got this from monkey she had to work and I didn't so I had her drop me and Bruno off at the flea market because it was kind of in the area where she was at but it's a wind up music box so you wind it up and it'll play until it stops and she hasn't she said several years she has not played that music box it hasn't been moved it sent right where it was the other night we were watching youtube on tv we were just sitting there watching tv talking on the ones for about 8 or 10 seconds I heard this noise I said what the hell was that was that your phone she said no that was my music box and I said what she said it was my music box so how can after that many years can it start playing for you know 8 to 10 more seconds and of course we don't have cameras in the bedrooms you know for privacy reasons so I didn't catch that but man that was something all them years and then it just starts playing a few seconds like I said 10 seconds might be a stretch but I know I'll say 6 to 8 seconds anyway because I was trying to figure out what it was kind of really weird you know and then she did pick it up and give it a little wine and that's what I heard well she heard it too that's what we heard so that's pretty weird man so I think I'm going to try to get a little bit of rest catch you guys in the morning if I think anything else I'll kick you back on I don't want my battery and my batteries are draining bad out here man my head lamp it's draining and I just charged them not on this one but the one that goes across here my headband light they're going down these batteries are running out really quick I only got 42 minutes left on this camera I can understand why old blue ran out earlier because I recorded almost all the way here and just as I was pulling back and seeing who it died these lights they're working fine now since I changed them but I had all them batteries charged and I got my I got my trail cam set up over there and when I went out to stoke the fire and stuff it was kicking on I could see the IR lights kick on and stuff when I'd walk past it but then right before I came in here they wouldn't kick on them so I think well when I first turned it on it was in the yellow almost red I don't know what's going on with batteries out here man it's crazy so anyway guys chat out you in a little bit you guys check this out it's 1245 quarter to one that's fog that is fog you guys are seeing coming off the lake well that swamp look at that wanted to share that with you guys I listen guys I just straight up right before I turned the camera on heard a tree knock I straight up heard a tree knock right after I heard that about 7500 yards right after I heard that tree knock I heard the code he's going nuts see there's there's the front of the tractor so right over there and it's weird how my damn light just my trail cam just started working for no reason I hope you guys heard that I'm not kidding you it wasn't a tree branch falling dude I'm telling you I am crapping you negative here it was a straight up tree knock so I was getting the camera off the tripod and I just got it off the tripod when they started going nuts gonna be a long night see I'm looking you know that's what I'm seeing right there I got this this big light here I hope you guys are hearing this the spookiest thing that happened to me in a long time that is definitely 7500 yards that direction and it's right exactly where I heard that freaking tree knock I heard and then all at once well as soon as I heard the bang I grabbed my camera off the tripod and
