This Florida Skunk Ape Photo Is Going Viral!

By -

The bigfoot world is buzzing with the release of the first major photo of 2015. John Rodriguez, a 66-year-old fisherman from Florida, claims to have taken the crystal clear photo of a bathing skunk ape seen above. The photo and story were released by HuffingtonPost.com.

It isn't very often such a clear bigfoot image is seen, and this one is certainly being passed around and discussed. The image is being heavily debated, with everyone having their own opinion. Some believe the image is real, others believe a costume.


Ben Hansen of the SyFy channel's 'Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files' thinks the image is photoshopped:


"To be more precise, the face of a gorilla that has been digitally added to the photo with editing software. Although I originally suspected the creature suit was actually in the water when the photo was taken, I started to notice shadows in front of the Bigfoot that appeared to be an inconsistent length and shape with the rest of the photo."

"Additionally, there appears to be some heavy digital editing touch-up to the fur around the face and where the body meets the water. I'm now leaning more toward believing the whole creature was pasted into the image and then branches and twigs were added in the foreground. The branches also could have really been in the scene, but they were later edited as separate layers so Bigfoot looks like he's now behind them, sitting in deep contemplation."

The skunk-like stripe on the creature is also something we find interesting, seeing how the Florida bigfoot is known as the "Skunk Ape". We found some artwork by artist Justin Arnold that bears a striking resemblance to the creature in the photo.



So what do you think? Is the Rodriguez photo the real deal, or just an elaborate hoax?

    If your intention is that the subject ever be taken seriously, you are criminally negligent.

      Sure, he's probably laughing so hard he's crying over you being presented with your "2013 Golden Idiot." Did you receive one, or are you responsible for both comments which entitle you to two Golden Idiots?

    We live in a world where people believe in angels, omnipotent beings, and incredible events (parting of the Red Sea, etc). So yeah, you're still going to have idiots that believe the photo is that of a real skunk ape.

      Oh please tell us more O-wise-one. What else should people not believe in because you obviously have learned everything there is to know both past and present. Do you know everything about the future as well?

      Where can I purchase your book on the secrets too knowing everything?

    the photo is a fake 100%
    That video on the other hand looks legit. By the way it moves it doesn't look like a costume and it appears that the creature is looking for insects in the wood as a lot of primates are known to do. I'd like to know more about the background of the video. I don't usually believe most videos or photos but this one looks very interesting

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
