Stories about the " Skunk Monkey," sometimes referred to as the "Florida Bigfoot," have been around for years.

Sarasota native Mike Faulconer recalls seeing a "Skunk Monkey" in a field near the road in 2013.

"You could see it was big," he tells Fox Nation's Casey McDonnell. "And when I say' big, ' I mean eight feet (2.4 m) tall. You could just say it was massive [in size] and thick - just big."

Not only was this observation unexpected, Faulconer was also surprised by what happened after he uploaded his photos to the internet.

"My office started getting phone calls, people were asking me," he recalls. "Within a week, I had five Bigfoot hunters from all over the country at my home."

Falconer adds that since he saw the creature, he has returned "every single day" to the same place in search of clues, such as footprints.

Original news

Stories of the "Skunk Ape" – sometimes called "Florida’s Bigfoot" – have been around for years. Two Sarasota residents describe their sightings of the creature and their efforts to find out more about it on a new episode of Fox Nation's "Monsters Across America."

In the episode, Sarasota native Mike Falconer recounts seeing the "Skunk Ape" in a field by the side of a road in 2013.

"You could see that it was big," he tells Fox Nation’s Kacie McDonnell. "And when I say big, I don't mean eight foot tall. You could just tell it was massive [in size] and thickness – just large."

Not only was the sighting unexpected, but Falconer was also surprised by what happened after he uploaded his photos to the Internet.

"My office started getting phone calls, people asking for me," he recalls. "Within a week, I had five Bigfoot hunters from all over the country staying at my house."

Falconer adds that since he saw the creature, he has returned "every single day" to the same spot looking for evidence like footprints.
