PASCO CRYPTO SIGHTED AGAIN ON JULY 14TH 2010 IN RESIDENTIAL AREA:
A DARK BROWN, EMACIATED CREATURE ABOUT 5 FEET TALL WAS SEEN RUMMAGING ABOUT IN THE OPEN FRONT PORCH OF A RESIDENT'S HOUSE AT ABOUT 1:25 AM, WHEN THE RESIDENT CAME HOME FROM THE CONVENIENCE STORE. THE WITNESS NOTED THAT THE HAIR ON THE CREATURES BACK WAS VERY SPARSE IN SOME AREAS, AND THAT IT LOOKE D SICKLY, AND EMACIATED. THIS CAUSES US TO WONDER IF THE YOUNGER MEMBERS OF THIS BIGFOOT FAMILY ARE ACTUALLY STARVING, AND UNABLE TO FIND FOOD. BIGFOOT IS NOT KNOWN TO BE SLENDER AND USUALLY HAS A SOLID COAT OF FUR WITHOUT MISSING PATCHES AS THIS WITNESS DESCRIBED. THIS WOULD ALSO EXPLAIN WHY, THIS CREATURE WHO NORMALLY KEEPS IT'S DISTANCE FROM HUMANS WOULD COME SO CLOSE TO A RESIDENTIAL HOME. THE CREATURE JUST LEFT IMMEDIATELY UPON BEING DISCOVERED, AND NO INCIDENT ENSUED.
Pasco Crypto sighted again on Sept. 30th 2009
On September 30th right before dusk, a woman heard noises in the brush behind her home. She looked out the window and saw something she could not believe standing in the clearing of the woods behind her home. She went outside to get a better look. She described what she saw as, a very tall, hair covered creature that stood on two legs. She said it looked like a bigfoot. When the creature looked over and became aware of her, he calmly walked away. She then, feeling a bit unsettled, decided to report it. She called me as most of the folks in her area know I have been working this case. We did go out there but were unable to find anything, as far as evidence.
Update on the Pasco crypto /Our case files/August 2009:
Two separate people, living two doors away from eachother, called on the same night to report something large moving through the woodline behind their homes that was also growling loudly. Both of these homes are on the woodline. These two neighbors do not know eachother well, as one just moved there, and had never even spoken to the other yet.
The first one who called this in was the man, who was injured in a brush with this creature a few months back, see article below in past updates. The other call was from a woman, who just moved in and was startled right out of her bed by the ruckus and the growling. Both claimed that they had not heard a growl like this one before and neither could associate the growl, with any animal they had heard before. The man described it as a gutteral growl and the woman as a deep ,loud growl that was very breathy in between. The woman called it in again saying she heard it three nights between last week on Saturday,and last night, which was Thursday.We are monitoring this area and this situation. we hope to get these sounds on tape, and probe the woods with our infrared on the next occasion that this takes place. We are going out there again.
This growling thing is something we have heard before from many people in this area in Pasco from past inquiries. Since we know of the presence of some strange creature there, we do consider these reports, even the growling reports, as they all tie in eventually.
UPDATE ON THE PASCO CRYPTO MARCH 2009:
A MAN DRIVING IN HOLIDAY FLORIDA SAW THIS CREATURE THAT HE DESCRIBED AS A BIGFOOT, WHICH HE SPIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BY THE WOODLINE. hE SAID IT WAS ABOUT 7 OR 8 FEET TALL, STOOD ON TWO LEGS AND WAS COVERED IN DARK HAIR.
UPDATE ON THE PASCO CRYPTO;OUR CASEFILES/ December 18th 2008 Sighting
It seems the Abominable Swamp Slob is back:
A pasco county woman, returned home late one night on December 18th. She rolled into her driveway at 2:00 AM in a rural area. As her headlights shone into her front yard she saw, what she thought was a large dog with shaggy brown hair, down on all fours near her ornamental fish pond. Not wanting to encounter this animal, she flashed her headlights in hope of scaring it off so she could enter her property. The animal seemed to move off at high speed with a loping gate to the right of the property.
The woman exited her car and went cautiously in the front gate. She took two or three steps and then looked to her right, and saw, standing near her garage about sixty feet away, a man sized creature. on two legs rather than four, covered in shaggy brown hair. Alarmed and terrified she ran into the house, locked her doors and contacted us. I went to the scene the next morning and did see what appeared to be a large bare footprint in the sand near the tall bushes that border the garage on the right side.
This is the same area where the man in the article below was attacked, back in September. I took photos of this print but the photos are not clear enough to show it satisfactorily by my standards, so I have not posted them here. I hope to get better shots in the upcoming investigation of the area.
I think the fish may be a source of attraction to this omnivorous creature. There have been chickens disappearing in this same neighborhood at two locations, but of course it could be racoons or other natural predators. But usually a raccoon will just make off with one chicken not three at a time.
The chickens that were consumed at the scene and not carried off, had their heads ripped off and just the breast meat consumed. This is another oddity to me, as coons and other predators usually eat all parts of the chicken. Some of the residents in this neighborhood have hard strange sounds at night and heard heavy footsteps outside ,crunching in the dry leaves on their properties at night.
The wooded area behind these residences is sectioned off by a four foot chain link fence that runs the entire length of the block where the houses begin. Upon investigating the area immediately behind the homes, we found that at the end of the fence where it meets up with an even higher fence, a portion of the four foot fence has been mashed down to about a foot and a half tall, as if something just stepped on it with a lot of weight and crushed it down. I believe this is how this creature has gained access to the residential neighborhood where all this is going on. It can then move through the safety of the tree and vegetation cover and gain access over the back fences of the homes that even have fences at all, as some do not.
DECEMBER 23rd 2008 Sighting? Our casefiles...
We also had a report of a large black creature the size of a bear that was seen lying in the road on a highway four blocks from these homes. This came in only five days after the woman encountered something in her yard. We got to the scene within a half and hour and the creature must have lumbered off. We are assuming it had been hit by a car and later awoke and left the roadway.
There were two separate motorists who saw the thing along with the passengers of the vehicles. They both went home to call someone about the creature which they thought was injured or dead. One of the motorists happens to know us from the case and called us immediately.
We spoke with all the witnesses, who claimed it was curled up and was the size of a bear, but they could not get a look at it's face and did not want to exit their vehicles out of fear, that the wounded animal might be aggressive, if it was still alive. There have been no bears in this area of Pasco for over fifty years or more. So what did they see on the roadside? Both motorists claim to have driven around it, as it partially blocked the road. Even more curious is where did it go in such a short time, if it was actually that badly wounded?
We will continue to post updates on this as they become available.
THIS REPORT CAME IN ON 9/13/2008;OUR CASEFILES/
STRANGE ANIMAL ATTACK IN PASCO COUNTY;
A man in Pasco County sustained injuries on his arm in an attack by an unknown animal or entity on 9/13/2008 at 4:30 am. This was reported to us and we are including the story here with photos of his injuries.
The man got up at 4:30 am and went to the kitchen to get something to drink. He heard a persistent tapping or knocking on the kitchen window. He lives in a mobile home in a rural area. His windows are at a height of almost six feet from ground level. Upon looking out the window he saw nothing in the darkness, The tapping resumed when he walked away from the window, so he went outside to see what could be the cause of this sound. He heard some rustling from behind the fence in his yard. The fence is covered in wild grapevine just like most of the fences in this area ,which border the woods. As in this picture below.

When the man went to look over the fence the vines were blocking his view so he reached out with his arm to move some of the vines aside. When he did so, he claims that something grabbed his arm and started pulling him into and almost over the fence. He said it felt like two hands grabbed his arm, one at the forearm and one at the bicep. He is a large man weighing in at about 250 lbs. and is over six feet tall. A former war veteran and former biker, he is not easily scared or given to panic, but he did become alarmed and tried to pull his arm away from his assailant who seemed to be pulling with a tremendous strength and force on his arm. He finally did wrench his arm free by literally pulling it from the grasp of whatever had a hold of it. During this struggle he received some severe scratches and wounds from what felt like the nails of this thing. See below:



Whatever did this to this man, was extremely strong and the scratches and gouges left behind were flat, and about almost one eigth of an inch wide. Some were deeper than others and they were spaced wide apart. There was some minor bruising around some of them.
The man is seen here, laying his arm over the fence as he did that night. This particular fence is about four feet high. There are no thorns on grapevines or any of the vines on the fence, as we checked, this out. No known creatures in Florida have hands of the size he described and these scratches are too far apart to have been caused by a cat or raccoon.
A human being would have left wider scratches of a much different fashion with surrounding skin abrasions from the scraping of human type nails. There were also some finger like bruises present on his arm as well, big finger bruises at that. So what grabbed this man? Was it a crypto? Was it a paranormal entity? What has that kind of strength? We don't know but, we plan to continue the investigation into this occurence. In the meantime, anyone who has a strange encounter such as this, please let us know about it.
We are not disclosing this man's name or the location where he lives for his privacy and the purpose of keeping curious folks out of what might be the territory of some dangerous creature at this time. But we would like to hear from anyone in Pasco county who has had an encounter with a creature that resembles the Florida Bigfoot.
This particular man is someone we know very well and he is not given to making up stories or hallucinations. He is a good ole boy who pretty much keeps to himself and lives on the woodline with his adult son and his girlfriend, and two pit bull dogs. Which reminds me of an interesting detail. The dogs never barked that night as they do when a human intruder comes around, in fact they did not even accompany him out of the house as they normally would under such circumstances. That also makes me wonder what they sensed that they wanted no part of. We are going to be investigating this case, and will post our findings here,when they become available, if we find anything.
Year 2007: Elfers Florida near Moog road...
Some people came face to face with the Florida Bigfoot in the woods at the end of Moog road near Madison. The encounter was just basicly a staring contest but the creature did get very close. It showed no sign whatsoever of aggression.
