Have you ever heard of the Skunk Ape, the alleged Bigfoot of the Florida Everglades? If not, you're in for a treat. I recently came across a video from the YouTube channel "Bigfoot Adventures With Lisa" that delves into the history and sightings of this elusive creature. According to Lisa, Skunk Ape sightings date back hundreds of years, including during the Seminole Wars. She notes that reports of the Skunk Ape were particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s, and have continued to the present day. The video features photos of a Skunk Ape taken in 2000 by a senior citizen in the Miakka State Forest, which eventually runs into the Everglades. The photos show the creature hunched over and then standing more upright before leaving the area. The witness reported that the smell left behind by the Skunk Ape lasted for hours. Lisa also mentions that the creature interacts with local wildlife, with reports of them attacking pigs and stealing hunters' food. She notes that several investigations have concluded that the Skunk Ape does dwell in the Green Swamp area of Florida. One interesting aspect of the video is that Lisa encourages viewers who have had Skunk Ape sightings but are afraid to come forward to email her their stories, which she will share anonymously. She provides an email address for viewers to contact her. The video is definitely worth a watch if you're interested in the Skunk Ape or Bigfoot in general. It's always fascinating to hear about sightings and experiences from people who have encountered these elusive creatures. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have definitive proof of their existence. Until then, we can only rely on witness accounts and evidence such as the photos and stories shared in Lisa's video.
