Hailing from the swamps of North Florida is filmmaker and Skunk Ape researcher Stacy Brown Jr. While watching “Unsolved Mysteries” in the early 90’s Stacy came across a segment on the Florida Skunk Ape and immediately became fascinated with the thought of a hairy monster running around the woods in his neighborhood. Over the next thirty-one years, he would dig through the libraries for information, speak with hundreds of eyewitnesses and even spend countless hours in the swamp in search of the creature.
