Wildman of the Woods writes “Is Bigfoot real in Florida? Does the Skunk Ape of the Everglades truly exist? Are Sasquatch sightings in the southeastern United States evidence of an undiscovered primate species, or could some encounters be explained by feral apes living deep in Florida’s swamps and wetlands?

In this free bigfoot documentary investigation, Wildman of the Woods travels into some of the most remote and difficult-to-access regions of Florida alongside Tami Grimes of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC) and Chester Moore of Dark Outdoors to examine one of the most persistent and controversial Bigfoot mysteries in North America. Florida has a long history of Skunk Ape reports, Sasquatch encounters, and Bigfoot sightings that date back decades, particularly in and around the Everglades, Cypress Swamps, Green Swamp, and Ocala National Forest.

This film features firsthand eyewitness testimony describing close-range Bigfoot encounters, thermal camera observations of large bipedal figures, footprint discoveries, and track casts recovered near reported sightings. Witnesses describe animals with immense speed, intelligence, and physical presence, capable of moving through flooded swamps, dense palmetto, and standing water without leaving clear evidence behind. These consistent descriptions raise serious questions about how a large primate could remain largely undocumented in such a harsh and challenging environment.

A central focus of this investigation is the Florida Skunk Ape phenomenon and how it differs from classic Sasquatch sightings reported in mountainous regions of the Pacific Northwest, Appalachia, and Rocky Mountains. Florida’s hot, humid climate, heavy insect pressure, dense vegetation, and abundance of water sources create a unique ecosystem that could support a highly adaptable primate species. The documentary explores how Bigfoot or Skunk Ape behavior may shift based on environment, including nocturnal activity patterns, water-based travel routes, and extreme avoidance of human detection.”
