January roared in like a lion and out with a flurry of Bigfoot reports.
The year began with a Jan. 3 controversial story of how a fisherman claimed to have seen and photographed Bigfoot -- known in Florida as a Skunk Ape -- while it allegedly sat in a few feet of the murky swampy Hillsborough River outside of Tampa, Florida.
Fast forward to Jan. 25 when HuffPost reader Matthew McKamey sent a video of something he says he and a friend saw while canoeing in a swamp that day in Lettuce Lake Park near, of all places, Tampa, Florida.
Both reports are highly dubious. Let's take a look at the second report to see if it's the legendary hairy beast ... or possibly another hoaxer who'll risk getting his butt bitten off in a Florida swamp, just to post some viral video on YouTube.
This is NOT a hoax, IMO. The view the YouTube video, click here.
