What happens when a Florida researcher spends every weekend in the swamps chasing legends — and ends up face-to-face with the Skunk Ape?In this gripping episode, we sit down with Marie Dumont, founder of the Mid Florida Bigfoot Research Group, who shares her most chilling encounters from across the Sunshine State. From the Green Swamp to the Ocala National Forest and even Jennings State Forest near Jacksonville, Marie has documented structures, footprints, and one unforgettable night when something heavy walked around her campsite — and even bumped her car.You’ll hear about the Skunk Ape’s strange behavior: unzipping backpacks to steal grapefruits, raiding coolers for raw hamburger patties, and turning teddy bears face-first against trees in bizarre “games.” Plus, we dive into the mystery of Florida’s four-toed tracks, why the Everglades may produce a more aggressive Skunk Ape, and how infrasound left one researcher doubled over and sick.More than just a Florida cryptid story, this episode uncovers how legends of the Skunk Ape connect to survival, adaptation, and the hidden wilderness of the South.🗣️ Share Your StoryHad a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?Send it to [email protected] – your story might be featured on the show!🎥 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube🔴 Subscribe here → Bigfoot Society YouTube💬 Leave a comment & let us know your thoughts!📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → Speakpipe (Use multiple voicemails if needed)👥 Share this episode → Watch & Share🎧 More episodes → Podcast Playlist🌲 Recommended: New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters💥 Support the Show & Get Perks✅ Join the community on Patreon – Become a Member✅ Listen ad-free & early on YouTube – Join Here📱 Let’s ConnectInstagram: @bigfootsocietyTwitter: @bigfoot_societyTikTok: @bigfoot.society🧰 Tools & Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)These help support the show at no extra cost to you:Beam (Better Sleep): Try BeamWildgrain (Better Bread): Join HereSeed (Probiotics): Get SeedMedi-Share (Healthcare): Learn MoreLMNT (Electrolytes) Free Sample Pack with your first purchase! : Get LMNTOrganic and non-GMO groceries delivered for lesshttp://thrv.me/uarEhS🎙️ Podcasting Tools:Repurpose.io: Try ItDescript: Sign UpStreamyard: Start RecordingRiverside.fm: Try Riverside🎧 My Audio Interface: View on Amazon☕ Buy Me a Coffee – Support Here🛍️ Grab Some Merch – Shop on Etsy📬 Mailing Address:Bigfoot Society125 E 1st St. #233Earlham, IA 50072📧 Business Inquiries:[email protected]
