Hellbent Live Explores Skunk Ape Sighting and Bigfoot Film Project

If you're a fan of independent cryptid research and haven't checked out the Hellbent Holler channel yet, you're missing out on some genuinely entertaining and informative content. Their recent livestream featured Brooke Moreland, the host of the Dark Florida podcast, and the conversation covered everything from Dogman encounters to upcoming field investigations that have the community buzzing. One of the most exciting announcements came from the Hellbent Holler team themselves. They're gearing up for their next film project, and this time they're heading to the Jocassee Gorge area in the upstate of South Carolina. For those unfamiliar with this region, Jocassee is a remote, rugged wilderness area known for its dense forests, steep terrain, and a long history of strange sightings. The area has developed a reputation among researchers as a hotspot for Sasquatch activity, with numerous witness reports coming out of the surrounding counties over the years. The team is actively seeking people who have had experiences in the Jocassee area or who know of interesting locations worth investigating. If you've got a story to share from that part of South Carolina, reaching out to them could mean being part of an upcoming documentary. Brooke Moreland brought her own flavor to the conversation, sharing details about her recent field investigation in Florida. She spoke about Myakka, a place she used to visit when she first moved to the state to clear her head. Little did she know, Myakka happens to be considered the home of the Skunk Ape, Florida's own legendary cryptid. Brooke mentioned one of her favorite pieces of footage ever captured out of Florida, which shows what appears to be a tall, dark, bipedal figure moving quickly across the terrain near Lake Myakka. The footage was recorded along a seven-mile road that winds through the park, and the grass in the area grows so tall that whatever this figure was, it stood a good two to three feet above the six-foot-tall grass. That's a detail that always stands out to researchers because it gives you a real sense of scale. If that figure was standing in grass that tall and still had two to three feet of clearance above it, you're looking at something massive moving through that swamp. The conversation also touched on Dogman, which has become one of the most talked-about cryptids in recent years. The Hellbent Holler crew has been vocal about supporting independent research over the tired, overproduced television content that's been circulating for decades. It's a sentiment that resonates with a lot of folks in the community who feel like the mainstream approach has done more harm than good to serious research efforts. Brooke also shared some of her upcoming plans, including a trip to New Orleans where she'll be diving into the paranormal and vampire lore the city is famous for. The host even reminisced about their own ten years spent in New Orleans, mentioning the famous dueling oaks in City Park and the hauntingly beautiful suicide oak, a spot where many spirit box sessions have been conducted over the years. This stream is worth checking out in full if you want to hear the whole conversation. The chemistry between the hosts is great, and there's a real sense that these are people who are out in the field doing the work rather than just talking about it. Independent researchers like the Hellbent Holler crew and Brooke Moreland are exactly what the community needs right now, people willing to put in the miles, talk to witnesses, and document these experiences properly. Head over to their channel and give it a watch.
