Video: Skunk Ape Encounter

Thursday May 22, 2008
The author of this video provides only this description: "Myakka Florida- encounter occurred 5/2/08." Unfortunately, like many such videos, it does not provide a clear view of the animal (if it is an animal). We're left with the frustration that this might be another hoax or, if it's real, further frustration that the creature remains elusive to both capture and cameras.

Watch and then leave your comments below.

I’m no primate expert, but the “creature’s” stance and gait look like it’s a human and not a skunk ape.

Why is the person holding the camera always the worst person at using it? Stupid zooms in & out, it almost avoids recording the guy walking around in the chewbacca costume!

I live 20 miles outside of Myakka, Florida….Many people have heard about this guy and his videos, he does alot of this kind of garbage….Definitely a hoax, more of a high school prank; guy needs to get laid, big time.
