Florida Skunk Ape Secrets Revealed!! Marie Dumont on Bigfoot

Is Florida really home to a legendary ape-like creature lurking deep in the swamps and pine forests? This week on The Palm and Pine Podcast, we sit down with lifelong Floridian Marie Dumont, founder of the Mid Florida Bigfoot Research Group, to explore decades of firsthand cryptid investigations and her relentless search for Florida's mysterious Skunk Ape.

Mary spent years investigating the paranormal before one unforgettable night in the Ocala National Forest changed everything. After experiencing an eerie vocalization that she says couldn't be explained, she shifted her focus to Bigfoot research and has since dedicated herself to documenting evidence throughout Florida's wild places.

We discuss:

• The encounter that made Mary a true believer.
• Why Florida's Skunk Ape may be different from the Pacific Northwest's Bigfoot.
• Her team's remarkable discovery of a quarter-mile trackway featuring 16-inch footprints and 54-inch strides.
• The latest field techniques, including thermal imaging, drones, and audio recording.
• Reports from everyday Floridians who claim to have seen something they can't explain.
• Whether rapid development across the Sunshine State threatens the habitat of an undiscovered species.

Whether you're a lifelong skeptic, a seasoned outdoorsman, or someone fascinated by Florida folklore and unexplained mysteries, this episode is packed with stories that will have you looking over your shoulder the next time you're deep in the palmettos.
