I've been researching and night hiking in the Green Swamp, as it's minutes away from where I live and I can tell you it is definitely creepy and full of skunkape activity. The environment gives off pure Jurassic Park vibes! And a big thing that people need to understand is that around the coastline of Florida there are lots of people, but when you get into the center of the state there is Miles and Miles of nothing. It’s very sparsely populated.

I just bought a house next to this place I can't wait to explore it, I went to Fouke Arkansas last year

my first husband and I camped for 3 months on the Withlacoochee River back in the mid 60;s. It was a clearing right on the river near the railroad bridge. We had our two pit bull dogs with us, no tent, slept under the stars or in the car when it rained. My first experience camping and I loved it.

The Bigfoot Beyond the Trail movies are always great, this one included. Beautiful cinematography. Keep up the good work.

I grew up in Brandon, Florida and now live in the Norton/Barberton Ohio area. Within 5 miles of Wadsworth. In December 1974, I was camping with a good sized group under the Bell Shoals Rd bridge crossing the Alafia River. About 5 miles south of Brandon. Now this area is mostly shopping centers and bedroom communities. Back then it was cow pastures and palmetto jungle. A lot the area in this video. As we were sitting around a good sized fire. A strange sound came from across the river and a distance in the area of the pasture. It sounded like a howl of agony. It was like nothing any of us heard before. About an hour and a half later, there was a little rustle in the trees across the river. In the clear light of a full moon. We saw a large dark shape with red eyes, squatting down, watching us. We all went silent and froze. Then it suddenly stood up and disappeared into trees and scrub it came out of. I've been ridiculed by a lot people when telling this and I lost contact with anyone else that was there within a few years of it happening. But I can never deny what I saw.

I was laughing when pick them sour oranges, I knew you were gonna try them. Bulls love em.

Right on boys!! Thanks

As a Floridian, I know we have skunk apes/sabe here. Can't wait to see this!

I know exactly where you were, it is my favorite place to research..

Nothing too recent. (That i know of or have been able to find) I'm of the mindset, If pple are seeing or encountering unexplainable phenomenon in this State, specifically in the South-West corner of Massachusetts, they aren't comfortable coming forward & reporting about it. Sasquatch, Dogmen & the like aren't as readily excepted facts in this part of the Country, at this time. Soon. Hopefully soon. ... The more people speak up, the more shows like this are made and viewed, the safer it becomes for pple to step up - speak out. #speakyourtruth #proudmasshole #northeast #berkshirehills #berkshirecounty #somuchwedontyetknow #absenceofproofisnotproofofabsence (stole that one, obviously🙃)

Love these video's, can't wait for when you see a big foot on video , I really would love to see a Bigfoot face to face. I would be terrified at first, and hope it was friendly.

Ooooh... Need to save to watch this. We went there not long back at Colt Creek SP which is on the edge of Green Swamp. Early in the morning a few months back and it was a cold morning. Few people around. We started on the children's trail into the forest and there were no kids at all there but there was something else all right. Something was knocking as soon as we entered the woods. And kept at it. We didn't knock back...usually we do. GF said it was hunters somewhere but I don't think there was any area with hunting nearby at Colt Creek State Park. Well, we didn't see a squatch, much to my displeasure. I'd bet anything they are in there, though. Saw a few weird looking curled over palmetto trees though. Not sure how they get that way. Could be natural. Maybe they find something like that on this video! Can 't wait to see it. LOVE LOVE LOVE Small Town Monsters!

No, it has everything to do with experience, and knowledge. People watch too many movies! We take pirogues through gator farms at night here in LA to catch crappie and catfish, or frogs. After 50 years we’ve never had an incident. Nor has my grandfathers or their grandfathers... Gators are no different from ANYTHING else in the swamp/woods, they don’t want to have anything to do with humans unless you have been feeding them! And you can’t compare alligators to crocodiles, that would be like comparing black bear to polar bears. Each have entirely different temperaments and levels of aggression... I would much rather be paddling a pirogue or kayak down the bayou at night than to walk along the bank without a flashlight. The only way an alligator is going to attack you is if you step on it. I found it to be pretty comical when the dude, who is apparently from FL, was all geared up to go kayaking until he saw an alligator... What makes you think that just because you don’t see an alligator where you intend on launching your boat that you’re not going to see any on your boat ride? Lol! I think he was intending on going kayaking that night depending on his level of confidence in the moment... Again, knowledge and experience, humans fear what they don’t know or understand.

At 8:08 there is a quick flash of light down the trail. Not sure if you had someone back there, but if it was a firefly, there would have been more of them. I wouldn’t have touched that handmade hanging stick structure, either lol; good call! I really enjoy the Beyond The Trail series. That area really is like legit jungle. Nice job!

I can't believe they are wading through that water. Their may not be gators in something that shallow but one would think python or worse water moccasin. Probably black widow and brown recluse in their as well. Not the most ideal squatching area unless you don't mind potentially getting bit.

I am from Clermont just east of where they are the need to be careful thiers a lot of stories about that swamp

I enjoyed watching this, hopefully at some point in time you'll do a return the location

Tampa area,,, been to several areas myself around here, cannot hike like I use to because of Parkinsons and Cancer, sure do miss it remember this on the original Unsolved mysteries.

I live on the edge of green swamp and have had regular encounters. I also believe I have a photo of the big one while I took a panorama photo of my surroundings while being messed with by a few of these creatures. I am in green swamp every couple days hiking and exploring off trail with my gps.

Anytime two species are competing for the same resources, friction occurs. The scary thing is ...only one species knows the other is real. Evidence/Awareness is needed

Any admistrator from small town monsters contact me. I seen a skunkape they look like a people, and I know where they are. They have 4 toes how do I know I've seen the tracks, and I have a picture of a 4 toed foot foot in a tee pee structure. I will not release it cause the internet is brutal. But I will show you my picture.

They are not creatures. They are animals with great intelligence They know when they're hunted and looked for.

Im a huge hunter and I use blinds just like that and the very first day hunting out of it I literally had a doe stick her head through the window and her nose got probably half a foot from me before she smelled me or something she knew wasn't right because she didn't panic and jerk her head out of the blind but she very slowly backed her way out and got about 10 feet away and started her foot stomping trying to get me or that blind to move then after maybe 20 seconds or less she snorted and ran for her life. Luckily for her the only weapon I was using that day was my camera, unluckily for me she had snuck up on me and my camera was hanging off a pole I had rigged inside the blind to hold items like my camera, binoculars, a bow anything just to have at easy access. Even though it was right there at hands reach she had snuck up to the blind and by the time I seen her I couldn't even reach for my camera so I missed the perfect opportunity for such a great picture of her sticking her head through that window.
