Tampa Taxi Shots

Pasco County Florida Nude Resorts And Bigfoot

Model I shot at a Pasco Nude Resort

One of the major industries in Pasco County Florida is nudism. Pasco County is located north of Tampa and has a great climate, and year round sunshine. It is perfect for the international nude culture that has been established here.

People from all over the world come into Tampa International Airport and take a cab to one of the popular nude resorts in Pasco. Lucky me. Tourism is vital to Florida (The tourist capital of the world) and I am honored to take tourist anywhere they want to go.

I have been wanting to work a particular Bigfoot research area in Pasco which has had many skunk ape sightings. I just have not had the time to get up there. Today, I had the best reason ever. I got paid to go up there because my fare went there. I dropped them off after going onto the resort property to the luxury hotel. People everywhere were walking around naked, swimming,  playing tennis, and volleyball naked. They were just hanging out naked. Temps were in the nineties today, so why not. I would have joined them if I did not have something else to do!

This video below was shot south of SR 52 in rural Pasco county that has little population. I was hoping the only population I would see would be the big hairy guys, the skunk apes.

Taxi Shots Meets Scott Marlowe - Author Of "Cryptic Creatures Of Florida"

Tim Fasano and Scott Marlowe

I had lunch today with Cryptozoologist Scott Marlowe Of Florida. Scott and I have been friends on the Internet for some time, and it was time we met.

Scott has always been supportive of my research, and has defended me against false claims made about me. He has taken the time to talk to me often on the phone, and has got to know me as a friend. He is a very good guy.

Scott is a college teacher, writer, and crypto investigator with some new and novel ideas about finding the Florida Skunk ape. I was looking forward to meeting Scott Marlowe.

We met at a diner in Winter Haven and shook hands. I felt like I had known him for a long time and that this was not the first time we had ever been together. We were very comfortable talking about anything. Scott has been around this game for a long time and knows just about everyone in Bigfoot. He warned me about the politics, and trolls, and how to deal with them. Scott had a club sandwich with slaw and I had a bacon cheeseburger with fries.

Scott is also a film maker, and has appeared in many documentaries about paranormal stuff. He has nine published books and has been doing field research for decades. He is still active and very motivated to find the big hairy guy in Florida. He also believes eco-tourism is the wave of the future and experts are needed as guides.

Scott has a new book out called The Cryptid Creatures Of Florida in which Charlie Carlson does the introduction. The book not only deals with the skunk ape and the Sasquatch being in Central Florida, but also ice age animals that may still be around. As you know, I have put forth a theory that the giant ground sloth may still be in the jungle.

We layed out a map of Florida and Scott showed me the migration patterns of the skunk ape and the stationary locations of permanent colonies. Working smart and not waisting you time in areas that are not colonies is what a researcher needs to do. His input was invaluable to me. My game has now gone to a new height because of the information I received from Scott.

We will be working together in November in a known transitional area to catch them on the move. It does seem people don't want that to happen and are trying to undermine the outing. That will never happen. We will go private if we have to and protect our research and locations. We do not need gate crashers.

Searching For Communication Along Deep Swamp Powerlines

On the Animal Planet hit show Finding Bigfoot, it was mentioned by the BFRO founder Matt Moneymaker that Bigfoots use powerline routes as pathways to move into new areas without detection. When the finding Bigfoot crew was in North Carolina they were investigating two prints found on a cul-de-sac. Moneymaker noticed the high tension wires behind the houses. He said they home had been built on a Bigfoot transition zone. This may be true but I believe the powerlines may be used for something else. I believe they are used for communication.

They have discovered that the high tension lines can sent knocks for miles along these systems. It is sort of like a "Bigfoot Cell Phone." Many researchers have reported hearing these sounds on powerlines. I have no doubt about that because I have heard and recorded these communications on video and posted them on YouTube.

On Saturday I got an opportunity to get into an area near the Hillsborough River that leads into the watershed area going into the Green Swamp. I can hear two knocks and a metallic scrape. Many people are  now figuring these creatures out.

 

Tom Biscardi The Worlds Greatest Bigfoot Hunter Comes To Florida To Work With Tim Fasano

Tom Biscardi of California came to Florida last week to work with Tim Fasano in the Green Swamp of Central Florida looking for Bigfoot. Tom has been active in Bigfoot for several decades and is determined to find the beast. I turned him on to many good swamp locations where we would have a good chance of finding something.

Tim Fasano And Tom Biscardi In The West Track

He brought a team of four experienced Bigfoot hunters with him. We entered the area and began looking for an area that would be great for night operations. The theory is that Bigfoot is a nocturnal creature and the best results are obtained by using night thermal optical equipment which Biscardi has. This area was rich with animal tracks and we knew it would be good to deploy the night optics. Part of the reason I have been away from this blog is that I have been busy with this project.

Driving out to the camp where it is along a river miles from the main road

Biscardi is a controversial figure for his involvement in the 2008 Georgia Bigfoot Hoax where the two Gerogia boys had a body in a freezer. The truth is Tom lost $50,000 to these guys. On our way into the area, Tom and his guys saw something moving in the Palmettos and went in to take a look. There are many snakes in these areas and it is risky to go into them. They found a bone and we later found a footprint where we had deployed camera traps. 

In the video below you can see what was going on as they ran through the field to find out where the dark, upright object had run off too. 

Hiking In The Green Swamp

Dave and I went hiking in the Green Swamp West Track Saturday looking for signs of animal life. We had our camping gear and were prepared to spend the night. The area we were in was miles off of the State road, and evidence of wildlife from deer, pigs, rabbits and other animals was everywhere. I am interested in deploying camera traps that can work for weeks on their own and capture some high quality images that you could not get on your own hiking. We found a place for a camp on a sand island and spent most of the late afternoon gathering firewood. It was something I had never done before and it was a lot of fun.

Black Racer Snake In Withlacoochee State Park

Declared as one of the "10 Coolest Places You've Never Been In North America" by the World Wildlife Fund, Withlacoochee State Park in Florida.  It is the largest State forest in the State of Florida and is divided into several distinct tracts. I was in the Richloam Track today and video taped this Black Snake on a dirt road. They are seen during the summer because they like the heat. Richloam is known for wildlife. I also recorded coyotes and caught a glimpse of Bigfoot (Skunk Ape). Know how cool is that!

Tampa, Teddy Roosevelt, And Bigfoot

 Teddy Roosevelt was very important in Tampa history. During the Spanish American War he was the officer in charge of command and control. All supplies for the war effort came out of Tampa straight for Cuba. He was also the only President that had a Bigfoot encounter. 

In his book The Wilderness Hunter he related a story told to him by a 'grizzled weather beaten old mountain hunter, named Bauman."  Near the Idaho and Montana border on the Salmon River he claimed a hunter friend of his was killed by an upright beast that raided their camp and sent him fleeing for his life. This hunter was sure that the animal was a Bigfoot. Teddy had no reason not to believe him, he wrote in his book.

Roosevelt also wrote that while camping in that area years later, he heard a loud screaming howl in the distance that terrified him. He knew animals, and this was nothing he had ever heard before. This story is legend among the Bigfoot community. It does seem to be more credible than Jimmy Carter's UFO story.

The BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) list Roosevelt's story as a class "B" sighting. That means the witness did not see the animal, he only heard it. Today, many people are getting great audio of sounds from the forest that cannot be explained. Teddy was not able to identify the animal that made the roar he heard. 

The only thing is that today with all the digital capability out there, the Patterson Film stands as the only good visual of Bigfoot. I believe we are very close to a video that will show a clearer image the Roger Patterson film of 1967 shot in 16mm.

Scott Hamilton Of The Saint Pete Skeptics Society

Observe. Analyze. Verify. Be skeptical. You forgot pejorative and harassing. Scott Hamilton of the St. Pete Skeptics Society seems to have it in for me. He prides himself in being an observer in the mold of James Randi or Loren Coleman (whom he is critical of). Beneath the vernier lies something else.

Last October I had an outing in a SWIFMUD area that yielded some of my best results to date. I posted the findings on YouTube and initially on my successful blog Tampa Taxi Shots. The reason I choose Tampa Taxi Shots as my first avenue to show the world my finding was because that blog is linked in the Tampa Tribune, the St. Petersburg Times, Creative Loafing and many other news and blog sites. That is a fact unknown to Mr. Hamilton who seemed taken back by that.

This punk has been (dover) stalking me on on several of my cyber blogs and posting on other forums and blogs for the purpose of insulting me. This guy is scum, and I cannot wait to meet him in person, to have a real conversation with him and find out what his problem is. I went to the Tampa Police to report him to cyber crimes and they ran his IP address and found some interesting stuff.

The Monster Under The Kennedy Street Bridge Tampa Florida

 People all over the state of Florida have reported seeing monsters.  Every county in the sunshine state has a database of sightings of what is commonly called the ‘’skunk ape.’ 

Is the monster real?  Is it just folk lore of ancient Indians? Possible, but did you know there have been recent sightings in urban areas including one near downtown Tampa. 

A worker getting off late in downtown Tampa saw a bipedal animal swimming under the Kennedy Bridge.  The creatures body was covered with hair and he was eating crabs on the rocks below.  When the man got close, the animal swam off at a very high rate of speed north up the Hillsborough River. The person who reported this said he went back the next day and saw crab shells on the rocks below. Interesting. 

In the last year, I have been searching the swampy lowlands of central Florida and the Green Swamp.  I have found footprints, caught fleeting images on video, and recorded strange howls at night that do not match any classified animal So I thought I would investigate this sighting. 

In The Florida Jungle

Followers of this blog know that I like to hike in the remote areas of Central Florida and bring my video camera with me in case I encounter the Florida Skunkape or Bigfoot. I like the exercise and the fresh air. For over the last year it has been a hobby of mine.

It has been a good hobby. My YouTube Channel called fasanotampa has over 347 subscribers and a Blogger blog I started is getting steady traffic. However, it is getting difficult to try and make daily post for eight different blogs when Tampa Taxi Shots has been my longest running and most successful blog ever. I just need to consolidate and make this the Official Tim Fasano Blog or website. 

I don't know if you have a YouTube channel or not but you have to admit the flaming that goes on is beyond the pale. I have really lost my interest especially that someone has started a blog just to bash the videos I, and a few others, put up. Crazy if you ask me. 

Everyone has their own interest, and I have mine. This is a commercial site. Like I get paid to do this blog. I get a monthly check from advertisers and that pays for my blog. Simple, I got my reasons for this. 

We are going into the Memorial Day Weekend which is significant in Bigfoot History. Memorial day 1996 was the day of the famous bigfoot sighting in Washington State which was featured in the Hisotry Channel special Bigfoot Where Legend Meets Science with Dr. Jeff Meldrum.  Here this interview of him on Coast To Coast AM Radio.

The Olympic Project

A friend of mine in Washington State is involved in a project of deployment of remote digital trail cams. They have been placed in areas of elk predatory activity. The reason is to get a photo of a Sasquatch or Bigfoot. The project is part of the BFRO (BIGFOOT FIELD RESEARCH ORGANIZATION). The link is www.olympicproject.com

THE GABLE FILM V THE FASANO FILM

A recently discovered 1959 8mm film shows a primate caught on film by my Grandfather, Orlando Fasano, near a swamp area that would soon become Disney World.  It is very simular to the Michagin Dogman Gable Film in that it shows a family outside with their dog and then they are attacked by a bear/dog creature.  Nobody has been able to debunk the Michagin Dogman film taken in the 1970's.  It has been on the internet for the last five years.

SKUNK APE FOOTPRINT FOUND OFF OF SR 60 HOPEWELL

Searching in an area that BFRO had a confirmed class A sighting ten years ago near SR 60 and Turkey Creek, I found this large footprint in the mud. It is a primate of some sort. Check out my new website floridaswampmonster.com

ANIMALS NEED WATER

The St. Pete Times had an article today of how Animals invade Tampa in search of water during droughtThey are getting close to man.  A coyote ate a Pomeranian in East Lake. A fox bit a woman in Citrus Park. A wild hog invaded a back yard in St. Petersburg.

That has been my underlying theory in my search for the elusive Florida Skunk Ape or Bigfoot.  I have trekked into unexplored areas north of the Hillsborough River off of hwy 301 and found areas with water untraveled by humans which would be a prime source of water for secretive beast.  One of my comments on You-Tube said it looked like I had found a prehistoric land near Tampa.  You can view Green River Swamp Bigfoot of how I found and documented this area.

This area is a tributary called Trout Creek in North Hillsborough County and the algae bloom shows not many canoes or kayaks come this way.  This would be a perfect "watering hole" for something that did not want anyone to find his ass. You can hear my theory and how I am closing in on my search at this You-Tube video.  Sorry St. Pete Times, I recorded this video on You-Tube over a month ago about the drought in Tampa and its effects on large mammals.  I was ahead of the curve. Good as time as any to announce my new blog Tim Fasano.com "What most people are afraid to say"

THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT

Hear the recordings that I have made at sunset in Florida and watch my attempt to communicate with Bigfoot--something responded. See Baynews 9 Report

HOW OPEN MINDED ARE YOU?

Serious.  Are you open minded to the prospect of an advance life form previously unknown that my be living in North America and has found its way into Florida?  There is a body of evidence that is now supporting this theory.  

Michael Crichton.in his novel Congo speculated on what would be the circumstances of man encountering a previously unknown intelligent primate that may have branched off of our evolutionary tree. I am not talking about the movie which was loosely based on the novel, but his book which was more interesting.

The research I have done is leading me to this conclusion that there is more out there then what we know.  In the North East part of Hillsborough County I have found "Forest Anomalies" that the team Bigfoot Research Field Investigators have found throughout the country.  It is beleived that these structures are territorial markers used by Sasquatch to mark or show a pathway thru the forest.

The image above is of a dead 50 foot tree that has been placed up against a live tree and lodged into the fork of the tree. This video I posted on You-Tube shows many such structures and even what I believe is a burial mound.  When I tried to dig it up, I found out it was entombed in a solid formation of a wood floor.  I could not get into it!

I have encountered tree knocking and other strange things that I will soon be posting about.  Keep an open mind.  Check out my new blog at:  http://timfasano.typepad.com/bigfoot/

SKUNK APE TRACKS FOUND NEAR TAMPA

Deep along the Withlacoochee River In Pasco County I found these interesting tracks.  One of them with five toes and was about twice the size of Shaquille O'Neal footprints.  You can see this at about the 5 minute mark.  Is it Sasquatch or Bigfoot?  It does seem to have a very big foot.
