Welcome to Wildman of the Woods

Deep in the wilderness of southeast Texas, strange encounters challenge what we think we know about history and survival. In this Dark Outdoors documentary produced by Wildman of the Woods, host Chester Moore and researcher Lyle Blackburn investigate chilling reports from the Big Thicket and the Old Lost River region. Eyewitness accounts, barefoot human tracks, unexplained shelters, and disturbing historical records raise a haunting question. Could primitive people or forgotten tribes have survived deep in the wild long after history lost track of them.

In this documentary, Wildman of the Woods investigates the enduring mystery of Bigfoot in Florida, specifically the elusive Skunk Ape. Joined by Tami Grimes of NAWAC and Chester Moore of Dark Outdoors, they explore remote regions like the Everglades and Cypress Swamps. Through eyewitness accounts, thermal footage, and footprint analysis, they explore the possibility of a large, intelligent primate surviving in the state's challenging environment. The film also examines the feral primate theory, questioning if escaped exotic animals could explain sightings. This grounded, field-based investigation dives deep into Florida's Bigfoot and Skunk Ape lore while considering ecological implications.
