HEARLD Newspaper-West Palm Beach-Jan 23-1975-Security Guard Gary Kanter age 24
claims he shot the Skunk Ape while guarding construction site near West Palm Beach. In interview he said,"I drew
my gun and ordered freeze", Kanter told reporters,"But it kept advancing toward me. Then what I saw made my hair
stand on end. It was huge, about 7 feet tall. It was real hairy and was either hunched over or had no neck at all and
if you could ever get a whiff of this thing-it smelled like it had taken a bath in rotten eggs. It made my eyes water and
my nose fill up".

National Geographic Channel on -(The American
Paranormal"Bigfoot") had a special on the Bigfoot
tape that Roger Patterson and Gimlin made back in
1967.
Mrs. Paterson let them use the original film that she
keeps in a vault ,where the expert set it up in her
home.
Greg Long wrote a book on the making of the
Bigfoot The Inside Story. (I just finished it) After
several years and extensive interviews with the
different characters of the area who were involved
with,or knew Patterson, Mr.Long came to the
conclusion that the Film was a hoax and he claims
fooled scores of scientist and so many people
around the world. The Geographic Documentary
came to the conclusion after expert studies that the
film is indeed real.
This Film has been around for 43 years. It's still the
center of debates between the believers and the
skeptics.

2010-March12/ ALABAMA-Walker County- Kansas,Al./ Friday at around 6 Pm.Witness was going home from the store
and when starting to turn off the highway she noticed something white squatting down on the side of the highway near
the creek about 30-40 yards ahead of her. So instead of turning she went to see what it was.She got within about 1o
yards of it and it stood up straight and turned around slowly and walked into the woods real calm. Couldn't believe at
that time what she was seeing. The thing was a dirty white, very large, taller then the street sign that was near and
fury. Could tell it wasn't human or anything she had ever seen before. It scared her so bad she said she had tears in
her eyes and started shaking and went straight home and told her husband about it. This witness is the sister-in-law to
witness to the 1990 witness.

2003-Osceola County-Holopaw,Fl./ (By Witness) = My self and a bunch of hunters are in a hunt club that has a camp
in Holopaw, Florida. Closes roads are US 441 and State Road 192. I always get to camp a day or two earlier than the
rest. This was in the fall of 2003. Cool temp and clear sky. I was setting up the out door kitchen in front of my pop up
camper, you know the usual stuff. Getting ready to have a nice quite evening all by my self. I must mention that camp is
about 8 miles from any hard road on private property. NO ONE IS ALOUD OUT THERE...several locked gates.... Night
came and the usual sounds came with it. About 10:00 pm I turned in. Nice and quite. About 2 or 3 am I heard a grunt
moan type of sound. It didn't spook me, we have coons in camp at night raiding the kitchen looking for anything they
can find. I went back to sleep when I was awakened by a crash on the roof of my camper. It sound like a pine cone
hitting the top and rolling off onto the ground. In all 8 pine cones hit the roof in a time line of two hours. I just laid in bed
with my browning 9 mm laying on my chest. My thought is as long as it dosn't come in I'm safe. In the morning I got up
and out to see what happened. I saw 8 pine cones on the ground near the camper. I looked up and realised that I didn't
set up under any tree's. The nearest pine tree was 100' away. Later that same year I awoke in the middle of the night
to find the door to the camper wide open. I'm real careful to shut the door to keep out bugs. I started locking the door
from that moment on. I've seen shadows of things in the back woods but never could really identify anything. There are
many tales of swamp apes in that area. Maybe some day........

2010-HIGHLANDS COUNTY=Lake Placid Fl. Nearby Ranch-Nearest Road State Road 70./ Hunting with her father 12
year old girl said she was shining spot light around area in pasture where her father had stopped his truck. Dog set
free chased wild hog through fence and off into woods. Father climbed fence running after dogs and hog left her in the
truck. There were other dogs in back of truck in dog box. These were raising cane . Witness said over the noise the
dogs were making she heard a growl and shinning light saw a Bigfoot(Skunk Ape) She started screaming and said she
ducked down in truck. Father coming back to truck with other dog said he didn't see anything strange. No odd smell or
anything else, all he heard was dogs and his daughter. He said she had to have seen a cow and being afraid thought
she saw something else. She claimed that she really did see a Skunk Ape. It was big and was black and brown in color.
Also said she thought it hit the truck. She claimed she saw it and he said she was mistaken. Thought I'd log this on

The two did not admit to the prank right away, but later in the week they copped to one of them donning a gorilla suit
and running across the road in front of vehicles on the night in question. Jarrard says he even has a photograph of
the two boys with the gorilla suit.
If Animal Planet does decide to not to visit Lumpkin, they will probably still most likely visit the North Georgia area.
“They sent us a letter requesting to film at Track Rock in Union County,” said John Campbell with the National Forest
Ranger Station in Blairesville. “The area is an archeological site, and is purported to have the footprint on Bigfoot.”

Although it's not writ in stone, Animal Planet is making plans to visit Lumpkin and Union counties. They are stalking the
legend of Bigfoot.
The Discovery Channel, which produces Animal Planet, called local resident Mary Scott, requesting an interview with
her. Scott, as well as a Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office deputy with whom she was riding during a Citizens Law
Enforcement Academy ride-along, reportedly saw a Bigfoot about a year-and-a-half ago and captured it on the
dashboard cam.
Scott said they were out in the Frogtown area when the sighting occurred.
“We were going about 55 mph on a curvy road. It was really late-after midnight, I think. We hadn't passed any other
cars, and this thing came out of nowhere,” Scott says. “The officer hit the brakes and we both jumped out. We looked
on both sides of the road but didn't see anything, and we looked at each other kind-of like, ‘You saw that, didn't you? I
saw that.'”
Realizing the event had been recorded by the patrol car's dash cam, Scott and the officer returned to the Sheriff's
Office where they viewed the happening on a larger screen.
“We were both just shocked,” Scott says. “It was really tall, and it really looked like the pictures you've seen of Bigfoot.”
The film found it's way onto the Internet, and that's how the Discovery Channel tracked Scott down, she says.
“I told them it all happened in seconds. It just came and went,” she says.
The TV representative told Scott they are planning to visit the area in February and plan to camp out in the area
where she and the deputy made the sighting.
They may change their minds, however, when they learn that Sheriff Stacy Jarrard claims to have proven the sighting
to be a hoax. Jarrard said he went out the next day to question homeowners in the area. At the first house he stopped
at, he says, there were two young men, students at North Georgia College & State University, who were “acting really
nervous. You could see their hearts were beating really fast,” he says.
