Stacy Brown Thermal Footage – BREAKDOWN

Cliff Barackman writes “I had the opportunity to visit the location of this video with Stacy Brown Jr. and Sr. for the filming of Finding Bigfoot. While there, I took measurements of my own of the tree, the distance between the two trees that the subject hides and walks behind, and the distance to the photographer. Since much of what I said in my first, previously posted analysis still is accurate and true, I will augment this article with updates below the pertinent paragraphs. The updated information will be printed in brackets and italics.

This interesting clip of video was obtained by a father and son team from Florida on May 8, 2012, sometime between midnight and 1 am. Stacy Brown Sr. and Jr. are the minds behind the website, The Sasquatch Hunters. The two men were bigfooting somewhere on the panhandle of Florida around the town of Quincy on the night they got their footage. The exact location is between the property where the Bridges have their ongoing encounters, and where I recorded a “whoop” vocalization last year.

The night the two men were camping, they tried a passive approach by simply having a campfire and playing loud music on a stereo. Every once in a while the duo would go for walks without using any lights. No other campers or people of any sort were ever observed on that night, and both witnesses are sure they were the only people present.

Stacy Brown Sr. was armed with a FLIR Scout thermal imager with which he was continually scanning the nearby woods. He had the polarity switched on the FLIR, so that the warm things in the viewfinder appeared black as opposed to the more commonly used white.

At some point in the evening, they heard some knocks, so they walked in that direction. Every time they heard noises, it seemed like it was just a little bit ahead of them, no matter how far they went. Stacy Sr. then saw a heat signature from behind some trees a little ways off into the palmettos. Whatever it was stepped briefly out into the open. What Stacy Sr. saw was a large, man-shaped figure take one long step and disappear into the brush. He turned to his son who had not seen the figure at all and said, “We gotta go.”

    Thanks Wes for bringing this here, I have forgot what a good job Cliff did on analysis after their Finding Bigfoot excursions. He did a good job on the Vermont Bigfoot episode also and several others. I remember watching their Florida episode with Stacy Brown and Bobo recreating this event. What stood out for me is how much larger the subject was than Bobo and when Bobo made the stride between the trees. Bobo exaggerated his normal step and yet it took two steps for Bobo to get to the other tree and it was a clumsy effort compared to the fast and smooth effort it took the subject in only one step. The subjects initial step is often described by witnesses on how they could not believe how fast, smooth and effortless they travel.

    I know many are hugely disappointed in Finding Bigfoot, however there is no way a group is going to go into the forest and with a production crew of up to 12 people and get a Bigfoot to come close. Having talked to Cliff, he is convinced that on a number of shows they did have activity from howls and other vocalizations, knocks, and stick and rock throwing. Sometimes these were caught on film and audio, most times they were not. I really like that Cliff has taken it upon himself to learn much from Dr. Meldrum on their foot anatomy and locomotion, and interpreting tracks that are casted. Cliff was the true star of Finding Bigfoot in my opinion.

    I met Cliff at the International Bigfoot Conference last year in Kennewick, WA. He is really nice and obviously loves what he does. I found him to be a very earnest and dedicated researcher. And he autographed a photo for me ?
