Skunk Ape: Swamp Beast STALKS Florida Family, Caught on Camera

Cryptids Across the Atlas

When hundreds of Florida residents reported a large, hairy beast breaking into their homes, stealing their belongings, and torturing their beloved pets in 1973, badged officials were brought in to oversee the crime scenes. But having always showed up just a little too late, the unknown cryptid seemed to always be a few steps ahead. From seeing the beast from afar on dark nights to seeing something strange waddle through the Florida Everglades, almost 30 years had gone by without any trace. That is, until one anonymous woman in 2000 caught the bigfoot figure red-handed in her backyard, and she just so happened to get it on camera.
