Editorial: The Myakka Skunk Ape Photos: Real or Hoax?
This mysterious photo, and others like it, along with a letter, were turned in to the Sarasota, Florida Sheriff's Department sometime in 1999 and made quite an impact on the Sasquatch community. They were apparently taken by an elderly woman who has yet to be identified near Myakka Park in Sarasota County and appear to be one of three things-a Skunk Ape, an escaped orangutan or a hoax. Some who subscribe to the hoax theory say it is a model from the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum, while others hypothesize it is an escaped orangutan, and it does resemble an orang as well, although the face reminds me of the Hollywood-created creature in Harry And The Hendersons. If indeed it is an orang, then it somehow escaped either from a zoo or a Wildlife Preserve, although no zoo or Wildlife Preserve reported any missing orangs. Certainly, there are all kinds of primates loose in the forests of the Sunshine State, and it is entirely possible a stray orang wandered into Sarasota County. The elderly woman's story goes as follows: she was in her home one night, when she heard what she described as a "whoomp" noise from her backyard. She started leaving out apples to see about luring whatever it was into the yard. She heard the noises again and took a few photos, capturing this strange individual. She wanted to remain anonymous because she didn't want publicity and wanted nothing to do with the Skunk Ape, which is understandable. To this day, no one knows the identity of the elderly lady who took the photos, nor if the photos are genuine. We know this, however-it is an enduring mystery which does not have any answers.

Review: The Sasquatch Experience Lite 3-7-07
This was a great and informal show, with James Baker and Bill Green joining us for a lively discussion on alternate theories of Sasquatch, including talk of a certain individual who espouses those theories. We also discussed why a body had not been found and got a phone call from Steve "Indy" Pickett giving us some support. This was a lot of fun, and we hope to continue to do our shows like this on Wednesday nights. Our next show will be Sunday the 11th, with guests Billy Willard and Tom Lancaster from Virginia. That show begins at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central and can be found at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/sasquatchexperience As always, please tune in and support great research.
Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
Creature
Name: The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp
AKA: The Lizard Man Of Lee County
Classification
Grouping: Cryptid
Data
First Reported: June 29, 1988
Last Sighted: August, 1988 (Primary incident),
2005 (last sighting)
Country: United States
Region: Lee County, South Carolina
Status: Unconfirmed
The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, or 'The Lizard Man Of Lee County', is a humanoid creature rumored to inhabit the swampy areas of Lee County, South Carolina.
It was first reported by 17 year old Christopher Davis on June 29, 1988, around the hours of 2 AM. He was driving home from work, taking a road that borders Scape Ore Swamp, when his tire blew out, forcing him to stop. Davis claimed later that while changing the tire, he heard a loud thump from a field across the road.
“I looked back and saw something running across the field towards me. It was about 25 yards away and I saw red eyes glowing. I ran into the car and as I locked it, the thing grabbed the door handle. I could see him from the neck down – the three big fingers, long black nails and green rough skin. It was strong and angry. I looked in my mirror and saw a blur of green running. I could see his toes and then he jumped on the roof of my car. I thought I heard a grunt and then I could see his fingers through the front windshield, where they curled around on the roof. I sped up and swerved to shake the creature off.”
Davis would later give a clearer physical description of the creature as being around seven feet tall with the same details as above.
Davis arrived home in a panicked state, waking up his parents. Trying to figure out what had happened, his father went out to look at the car. There were scratches around the door handle and the side-view mirror had been twisted badly. On the top of the car was a series of deep scratches and grooves.
This report sparked off a rush of Lizard Man reports that lasted all summer and encompassed not just Scape Ore Swamp and Bishopville, South Carolina where the original report was made, but the whole of Lee County. At the height of the Lizard Man scare, police were receiving so many calls about the Lizard Man that people with more immediate problems could not get through, and a separate Lizard Man Hotline had to be established.
By August of the same year the Lizard Man scare had died down, and few reports concerning it have been made since.
As of July 2005, the Lizard Man has "reappeared" in television promotions for South Carolina's state lottery.
In October 2005, a woman in Newberry, South Carolina reported to the police that she had seen two creatures resembling the Lizard Man outside her home. The responding officer, Officer Michael Kennedy, apparently amused, told the woman that the creatures "just like to check on humans from time to time."

Review: Squatch Detective Radio 3-5-07
This was a great show discussing vocalizations with guest "John," who discussed how he and his wife were chased out of an area by vocalizations. Several possible vocalizations were played and analyzed as well, as well as a couple of phone calls, including one from Billy Willard. This was a great show which I enjoyed listening to. Steve does a great job every week and has great guests on. The next program is next Monday, with special guest Stan Courtney. The show airs at 9:00 EST/8:00 Central and can be found at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thesquatchdetective As always, please tune in and support great research.

Review: The Sasquatch Experience 3-4-07
This was a special two-hour show, with the first hour being a roundtable discussion with myself, Sean Forker, Mike Killen, James Baker and Billy Willard. We discussed Sasquatch pheromones, infrasound, the recent "Best Evidence" special and skeptics. Our second-hour guest was Dr. John Bindernagel, who answered some questions regarding Sasquatch physiology, diet, how its lifestyle compares with other large mammals of North America, his follow-up book and other topics of interest. A certain disruptive individual called the show and confronted our guest and tried to disrupt the show, but otherwise,it was a great and informative show, and I really enjoyed it. Our next show is Wednesday night with the "Sasquatch Experience Lite." Then, next Sunday, Billy will be back with us along with his research partner Tom Lancaster. The Wednesday Night show airs at 9:30 EST/8:30 Central, and the Sunday Night show airs back at our regular time of 9:00 EST/8:00 Central.
