Skunk Ape Sighting in Myakka Swamp: A New Addition to the Sasquatch Legacy The Myakka Swamp region in Florida has long been a hotspot for Skunk Ape or Sasquatch sightings, and the latest addition to the growing list of sightings occurred on June 1, 2018. The witness, a passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband, was traveling along 73rd Avenue East, a private dirt road that was still partly flooded due to the recent storms. As they approached Long Creek, something caught her eye. At first, she thought it was a pile of dark, soggy grass and moss in an odd shape, but then she realized that this was some kind of creature standing still, trying not to be noticed. She quickly alerted her husband, who turned the vehicle around, and they drove back to where she had seen the creature. Unfortunately, the figure was no longer there, but they did find what they believed to be two footprints of the Sasquatch about 50 feet from the original sighting. The witness described the creature as standing about three feet taller than the five-foot-high fence behind which it had been standing. She said it appeared to be a dark ash brown color, with hair that was three to four inches long, wet, and matted, causing her to mistake it for grasses at first. She was unable to see any facial features but did recall the head was pointed and the figure had massive shoulders. The area where the sighting occurred is a creek bottom with heavy foliage, making it an ideal habitat for a Sasquatch. Nearby is a potato field with rotting potatoes and a field of watermelons, as well as other farms that grow citrus. Waterways in the area are filled with fish and other aquatic creatures, and the Lemur breeding reserve, which grows mango, passion fruit, guava, grapes, banana, persimmon, and bamboo, is also located nearby. The video also provides some interesting bits of information about the Sasquatch, including that it is an omnivore, eating both plants and animals. It is also known to be an excellent swimmer and has been seen crossing rivers and lakes.
