Class A Bigfoot Sightings with Marie Dumont and Mike Aguilar | EP: 369

Join us for a captivating episode as we sit down with Marie Dumont and Mike Aguilar, core members of the Mid Florida Bigfoot Research Group and its dedicated field research team.Marie Dumont, a Florida native and seasoned cryptid investigator with over three decades of experience in paranormal and unexplained phenomena, founded the group. With a thriving community of thousands of members, the organization serves as a trusted hub for witnesses to confidentially report encounters while conducting serious, boots-on-the-ground research across the Sunshine State.Mike Aguilar, a fourth-generation Floridian raised exploring the swamps and woods of west-central Florida, began his journey as a staunch skeptic. He initially dismissed reports of mysterious creatures as nothing more than alligators or elusive Florida panthers. That all changed one fateful day when a close encounter shattered his assumptions and launched him into an extraordinary quest for answers.In this episode, Mike and Marie share compelling Class A Bigfoot sightings — clear, close-range visual observations of large, bipedal, hairy creatures that stand apart from tracks, sounds, or fleeting glimpses. They discuss the mysterious Skunk Ape, Florida’s pungent, ape-like relative of Sasquatch, and recount how their investigations have taken the team deep into some of the state’s most remote and active hotspots.From the dense swamps of the Green Swamp and Ocala National Forest to areas like the Withlacoochee State Forest, Myakka State Park, and beyond, Marie, Mike, and the Mid Florida team spend countless hours in the field — often right on the doorstep of these creatures’ suspected territories. Their work includes gathering evidence, analyzing habitats, and documenting encounters that continue to challenge conventional explanations.Whether you're a longtime Bigfoot enthusiast or a curious skeptic, this episode delivers thrilling firsthand stories, insights into ongoing research, and a fascinating look at why Florida’s wild places may harbor something extraordinary.Tune in to hear how one man’s skepticism turned into dedicated fieldwork — and discover what’s really lurking in the forests and swamps of the Sunshine State.www.midfloridabigfoot.comGot a mind-blowing paranormal encounter, cryptid sighting, UFO experience, or any high-strangeness story that still gives you chills?
