Tim Fasano tells his side of the story about what happened on Easter Sunday with Damian Bravo

Damian Bravo and Tim Fasano in the swamp

We have heard Damian's side of the story about what happened on Easter Sunday while Skunk Ape hunting with Tim Fasano. Now, it is Fasano's turn to tell his side of the story about what he thinks really happened that weekend. Bravo feels that he had been hoaxed by Fasano and Rick Dyer (Georgia 2008 Bigfoot hoaxer). Fasano rejects Bravo's accusations and says that it's a "preposterous assertion".

Here is Fasano's story:

The majority of his followers of Bigfoot Evidence Blog are trolls who have been blocked by me and other Bigfoot researchers from Facebook and YouTube. They are harmless since they merely spout the party line, and urban myths, that have sprung up about me. They do not like my looks, my size, my occupation and other pejoratives that have nothing to do with research. That by itself I could almost live with. Recently, however, something happened that I am not going to just live with. I was wrongly accused of hoaxing by someone who represents himself as a reporter, but is nothing of the kind. His name is Damian Bravo and he is associated with an organization called Team Tazer Bigfoot.

TTBF is a collective of keyboard jockeys that obviously have no field research background, which was amplified by my experience with Mr. Bravo. Damian, Kevin and I went out last Easter Sunday in the swamp to do a maintenance check on a trail cam that had been deployed for 21 days. It was important to inspect the area, change the media card and batteries, and lock it down for the next six months until November. All was going well as we hiked along a dried out creek bed to gain entry into the area. That is when Damian thought he saw something.

He thought he saw an upright, dark figure with head and shoulders moving through the palmetto field. I had my back turned at that instant and Kevin was looking ahead. Damain yelled out there was something in the brush and we went into the area to investigate. We were, however, unable to find anything. After questioning Damian about it size, movements, color (cloths), and so forth, he insisted he had seem “a bi-pedal’ dark animal. I did not see it but I was hopeful he had seen some of the phenomena that has been going on out there in the last three years. We continued and finally reached the trail cam.

I found Damian Bravo to be a nice guy with a good mind. Kevin and Damian hit it off well and I was excited about this possible alliance of different research groups. Damian shot a ton of video from two different cameras. I could tell he was having a good time. We accomplished our mission and made our way back to our cars. All was well and we headed home.

Before we left, I told him I could not wait to get home and begin downloading my videos. If you’ve watched me for the last three years, you know I am a YouTube guy. That is what I do. Damian then made a strange request. He asked that I put everything up on YouTube as “Private” and send him the emails so he could copy them and edit them on his site. He wanted to be the first to post them.

When I got home, I thought about that arrangement. I did not like it. In the field, I was very excited about meeting a new friend and I may have said no problem. I reconsidered that based on a couple things.

I went to his YouTube site and seeing that this guy has never set foot in the woods, I began to wonder about him. Kevin called and asked me if “Damian Bravo” was his real name. He thought it sounded too made up. I was getting second thoughts about giving him full control over my videos. I changed my mind.

I put up the video that shows the possible class A encounter. He clearly states he saw something and would not back away from that stance. I realized now why. He was a novice to the woods, and all newbie’s have sightings on their first trip in. That is normal. He saw that I published it on YouTube and became very angry.

He would later say I HOAXED THE WHOLE THING. He claims I had put a stooge in the woods with a monkey suit on. A stooge who would respond on cue. That cue was I ‘taking a fake piss.’ The stooge, according to Damian, was Rick Dyer(?)This is a preposterous assertion.

Damian did a counter response to the video I did as a guest poster on Bigfoot Evidence Blog. He put my image in a collage of Biscardi and Rick Dyer to give the impression I was in on the 2008 Georgia Hoax. For someone who wants to be respected in the Bigfoot world as a reporter, that was not ethical or moral on his part.

He said he wanted to report about me without any bias! Oh really! That image was biased. He claims he was set up. Can you prove this Mr. Bravo or are you just going to slander me and my friend Kevin? There is no other way to view this. You have no proof of your accusation. The statement that Rick Dyer was in the woods is mind boggling for any rational person to understand. However, let me get to the point.

In the video that is posted here you will hear me tell Mr. Bravo I did not think he saw Bigfoot. I believed he saw “the interplay of light and shadow.” In short - A BLOBSQUATCH. However, there was the potential that he DID see something. Especially the way he clung to it, and would not let it go. Kevin told me he did not believe Damian and was suspect about it.


Damian said he wanted to give me a second chance. What! Who the hell is he to be giving ME a second chance. I gave him a FIRST change. That was the chance to come from behind his computer and actually get into the woods. Kevin and I have been out in the woods twice since we last saw you. I bet you have not. Nothing slows down our research.

In addition, I confided in you that the recession has been hard on me. That was personal. You went public with that… You are low class sir.

The only thing that happened Sunday was you ran your stupid mouth while I was running tape. You made those claims; I did not. You also shot a bunch of tape. Where are your videos? Where is the video that proves it was hoax? You can't produce it because it does not exist. You are too much of a coward to show your videos because they do not SUPPORT YOU HOAXING CLAIM.

I am getting very tired of people like you calling me a hoaxer with no Goddamn evidence. Prove it Mr. Bravo or take down what you have said about me.

Oh, what the does Rick Dyer have to do with this? You have lost me there amigo.

  2. The fact that Tim and Rick are the only two people freaking out, and making crazy accusing videos and pointing the finger publicly, tells me that Damian is the only stand up character involved in this whole thing. Tim and Rick have a bad history of hoaxes. On one hand they say Damian hoaxed them and then on the other they turn around and say he knows nothing about bigfoot or anything. So which is it? Damian didn't do anything but get set up.

    1. I dont think it is safe to assume that if Tim has a stooge in the woods that it is Rick. Other than that if Damian thought the sighting was staged he did the right thing. What are his choices - blow the whistle or willingly perpetuate the hoax.

    2. What single piece of evidence have we seen for Damian to accuse anybody of hoaxing? ZERO.

  5. First to point the finger publicly?! That was DAMIAN BRAVO! (Which you well know, since that's probably you, liar. Yeah, a real stand-up guy that mocks a guy personally when he's down. Real stand-up guy you are.)

    Damian made the first accusations against Fasano. That is FACT, and he has NO evidence. Why Damian implicated Dyer is a total mystery, but Dyer bit back. Who wouldn't?

    Show us your evidence, Damian! Something other than you "think" you were hoaxed. The truth is you were having a hissy fit that Fasano posted his videos before you. Your lies have taken TTBF's credibility into the toilet.

      Fasano is an asshole but he is out in the woods every week.

  6. Here's the problem as I see it - you hang with people with bad reputations and you get dirtied by it. The only one who could have hoaxed it if it were hoaxed was Fasano because he conveniently knew the location they would be in and that he'd be taking someone who would go public with anything they ran into. It was a dream set up. If people thought Fasano was tracking close to something in FL, he'd get more attention, more views on his YouTube, and more opportunities for cash or giving tours. If I went into the woods with someone like Fasano and he knew the location we'd be in, I would not accept a damn thing I saw in there. It was an ideal situation for Fasano and not for Damian. I trust Damian's judgment and I totally do not believe personally in the Florida Skunk Ape concept.

    1. You are trusting Damian's judgment because he THINKS he was hoaxed, yet hasn't shown one single piece of evidence, except he's figured out that Fasano must have taken a fake piss because he hadn't been drinking water on the trail. There it is. Damian's evidence. One thing we DO know for a FACT -- Damian was bent out of shape over Fasano posting videos ahead of him.

      I don't much like Fasano either, but even moreso I hate false accusers. I also think Damian is a reprehensible jerk for publicly mocking Tim's financial situation.

      As for Ricky, Damian also THINKS that might have been him in the woods. Why? So he publicly accuses the Ricky, who then fights back by buying up the TTBF web domain. Nice move for the team, Damian. Man-up and tell the truth!

      Delete
    2. Tim was very eager to post his Class A sighting video. Damien was in no hurry to rush that info out because he had doubts. <-- That is the story.

      Delete
    3. So again, zero evidence for accusing Fasano of hoaxing. That perfectly fits my Damian Hissy Fit theory. Of course Fasano would blow it out of proportion like everything else he does! That's not reason enough to publicly smear the man. Tell the truth, Damian!

  10. Damian is pissed because Tim said he would send him the videos to edit and put on his site, but Tim backed out of this agreement. Shocking! He lied! Tim does nothing but lie and deceive.
    Only thing I give Tim credit for is going out into the woods and trying to do something. Beyond that who cares about this guy.
    I liked the site better when it was drama free and people would discuss Bigfoot and have a good laugh doing so. This TMZ Bullshit needs to stop.

  11. I can't believe I am going to say this, but seriously, I think this has been blown out of proportion and I don't think there has been any wrongdoing, just accusations. Here is my case:

    Read Damian's posts, this guy wants to see Bigfoot so bad that he puts fanciful closings about them at the end of every article. Now, put this guy into a "squatchy" area and every shadow becomes a Bigfoot. I'm terrified of pumas and every walk in the woods, I swear there is pumas around every rock ready to pounce. It doesn't mean it is there, just that my imagination was a little overactive. I'm sure that what he saw was shadows.

    Tim Fasano has a hoaxer tag to his name, so of course he would be suspicious of being set up by a reporter wanting to do an expose piece. Damian probably wanted to be the breaking news on the video because it was a big deal for him.

    Fast forward a little bit and Damian's mind starts replaying the event and he realizes that he didn't really see a Bigfoot and thinks he's been hoaxed and Tim and Rick are pissed off at being falsely accused, rightly so.

    We live in America people and the burden of proof is with the accuser, which is Damian Bravo. He had a camera with him, so HE needs to produce video that has Fasano in it from the day it happened that clearly shows the fake Bigfoot or retract his accusation.

    Remember people, just because a woman is a prostitute does not mean she can never be raped and just because someone lied once doesn’t mean that they lie everytime.

    1. I usually stay out of this kind of nonsense, but from what I have seen, I think you have nailed this Sunny. This has turned into a damn Jerry Springer edisode. If Tim made a verbal agreement with Damian then Tim should have honored it. He could put his video out later and it might have help shore up his reputation. his out after. However I find Damians actions after this as reprehensible and should not have been played out in public.

      There is only one way to settle a fiasco such as this. Get them on the Jerry Springer Show and duke it out.

    2. On one hand, TTBF is the toughest critic and mocker of all sightings they determine to be blobsquatchy. Now on the other, Damian, who at the time clearly stated he didn't see detail in whatever he saw (at 100 yards), is to be believed to the extent they publicly accuse others of hoaxing? Why is no proof required this time?

      Delete
    3. Jerry!! Jerry!! Jerry!!

      Yeah, at this point I'm wondering if Damian is too deeply committed to their statements that he can't clearly see the error in his judgement.

      I also wonder if he has surrounded himself with "YesMen" friends who are too afraid to hurt his feelings and tell him that maybe he was a little too quick to flap his gums on this.

  12. whats with all the anonymous comments? the fat guy from florida is a known hoaxer, end of story. the freezerboy is a known hoaxer, end of story. as for damian brovo, he should know better than to socialize with hoaxers, what did he expect? lets close the book on these guys once and for all, no more articles on anything these guys do, no more interviews, no more posting thier lame videos of guys walking around in the woods, nothing.

    1. The anonymous comments- I'm willing to bet that 90% are by Rick Dyer and Tim Fasano. There is a history where one of them will even talk bad about himself to make it look like he is not posting the anonymous comment.

    2. Blondie, go read all of Damian's nasty posts, and note the timing. Damian drew first blood and has yet to provide one iota of evidence. That's the new TTBF double-standard -- hours later, it's proof enough to THINK they saw something and start flinging wild accusations. Yes, their credibility is toast.

  14. I've stated many times here, PEOPLE GET SPUN-OUT WHEN THEY HAVE A SIGHTING.

    Is it possible he saw a bigfoot/skunkape , Yes it is possible.
    It trips people out, they often start questoning what they saw. They try and rationalize "what was seen into somthing normal."
    As Tim stateed; I couldn't pry him off of it!
    I think Damien was reasonably defending what he saw, but still left a crack to say???.

    Later, Damien starts trying to understand what happened? In the end, it just happened to quick!

    Well, this is where a bad rap (tim's)got him blamed for something he didn't do!
    I don't think i've ever seen proof of Tim hoaxing.

    Of being an ASSHOLE yes, but not hoaxing.

    Tim, I have been defending you in this case, cause IT really doesn't makes any since for you to (1) hoax him, and get caught (2) act the way you did if you had hoaxed him. So I'm with you on that.

    BUT, Can't you ever take the hi road. why always so inflamatory, makes you look like a JACKASS.

    You could have done a 60 sec vid saying, sorry Damien, your wrong. Whatever you saw, you saw. We had a good time and i wouldn't have disrespected you that way------

    Try that some time if you want us to start respecting you!

    1. Hi Leon, good try but....

      that requires empathy, I'm not sure either Rick or Tim is capable of that. Look up Narcissistic Personality Disorder , it seems they share a lot of characteristics of NPD, especially getting kicks out of humiliating others. Here's a couple of links,

      http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001930/
      or my favorite
      http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/narcissistic-personality-disorder/DS00652/DSECTION=symptoms

      Trust me once one works with people like this (as I have) or have been in their path it's pretty easy to spot the characteristics.

      Human nature is basically good, giving second chances, etc, this is what they use to manipulate people and use to their advantage and justify it to themselves by blaming others.

      Much like Rick did blaming people about the freezer hoax by saying it was an obvious hoax just look at the picture, people were fools to believe it, thereby relinquishing (to himself ) any responsibility he had in the hoax.

      It’s just like they are trying to blame Damian now, basically saying Damian was a fool to trust them. See what I mean?

  15. Tim, to clarify, i know you got blamed first. but MAN-UP, just be cool if your guilt free.

    Damien may be riding in the blinder, thinking wrong. I actually liked the vid you guys did together.

    Damien, i don't think it was right of you to ask tim not to post?????????? Come on

    Tim has a video camera implanted in his forehead, we've been telling him to chill and not post so often. You can't ask him to hold back at the end of the day's work. If you were thinking that, you should have given him fare notice of that request! Just saying dude.

    Tim, If you look defensive about something you didn't do, well-----


    In short,

  16. No evidence of Fasano being a hoaxer?

    Then what do you call the Bigfootbuster Blog?

    Did you forget that?

    The man is a known trickster and liar.

    Bravo just put two and two together.

    Others in this "field" have been called hoaxers for much less.

    Let's say Bravo is wrong and this ONE time, Fasano ain't bullshittin' us. Then, can you blame Bravo's suspicions, when we know who he is dealing with.

    Oh, and for FASANO, if his attention span has allowed him to read this far... not ALL of us who criticize you are "keyboard jockeys that obviously have no field research background,".

    Some of us spend a good deal of time in the woods looking for one of these things. We're just not ATTENTION WHORES that feel the need to record and post every last minute of it.

      To Some@$$hole I'd like to say this-

      To the researches out in the field who work so hard without attention (that I'm sure Rick and Tim and associates would call fakes) I just want to say thanks.

      I appreciate all that ALL of you do,with your own money, in the rain, snow, heat and bad weather,with the ticks and bugs, the hours and hours of surveillance and tracking in the muck and mud- I appreciate it and I'm sure I don't just speak for myself.

      I follow many that do not record and post every minute of it. I truly suspect you guys will have the evidence some day. I know that some of you have the evidence now but keep it to yourselves.

      You guys are the backbone of Bigfooting and Squatching and have been for years, not the two

      THE LAST COIN FLIP DOES NOT DETERMINE THE NEXT COIN FLIP

      Don't forget i bagged on Tim hard enough to have him call me out buy name on a vid, so I'm not giving him a pass. But what people on here are saying about this , started by Damien, is far from a verifieble or even likely scenerio.

    3. I'm with you, Leon. It amazes me I'm defending two guys I don't even like, but people need to read ALL of Damian's posts before judging. Whatever those clowns have done in the past should have no bearing on Damian's complete lack of evidence now.

      An accusation of hoaxing is serious stuff that needs to be backed up with proof better than "I think"... especially when we KNOW (by his own words) how pissed Damian was about Fasano posting videos before him.

  20. For those wondering, Fasano's current research area is the Hillsborough River State Park. I know, I've done plenty of field research camps there. While I do believe that Bigfoot once inhabited the park lands, I believe that Bigfoot has migrated further inland and left the park boundary. I don't think Tim will find anything significant on his expedition, though I wish him luck.
