A Bigfoot/Sasquatch (a/k/a Skunk Ape) sighting in Lettuce Lake Park

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Ed.

The blog, BigfootEvidence.com, published video footage this week from a reader, "Matt M.", who sent in a video he shot while canoeing in a swamp near Tampa, Florida.

He saw something walking and diving in a gator infested water and started filming what he thought was a bear.  Lettuce Lake Park is a 240-acre park with no real bear population. Matt was unsure of what he had filmed. BE wrote "Upon closer inspection, we've concluded that this is no bear. Check out the length of its arms and its gate. Yeah -- we know bears can walk on their hind legs too, but this does not resemble a bear at all."
Matt M wrote in an email to BFE:
"I was canoeing some of the swamps around Lettuce Lake Park and saw what I thought was a bear. I told a park ranger about it and she said that bears don’t generally get into the swamp and that there were never many sightings in general. I showed her the video and she said she didn’t know what it was. I saw the Fox13 story about the bigfoot a few weeks ago that mayor said Bob Buckhorn made a statement about and thought this might be related in some way. I never put much faith in the old skunk ape legends but when I looked closer I noticed that it had long, swinging arms and moved through very thick swamp with ease. Certainly can’t explain it myself. I didn’t get very close but I hope that this footage can be enlarged. -Matt"
