Quotes from Dave |

I feel strongly that it's just my purpose, that it's what I have to do. It's not an obsession. But it seems like it's the way my life's come together. |

 Dave Shealy has spent nearly his whole life looking for a
creature, believed by many, to be only a figment of his imagination...
You know him from his appearances on national television (Unsolved Mysteries, The Daily Show, The Pulse, Inside Edition, Travel Channel & Learning Channel), and you have read about his adventures in the Enquirer, The Sun, Miami NewTimes, and Readers Digest.
Dave spends most of his time in the Big Cypress Swamp searching for the Skunk Ape when he's not maintaining the Trail Lakes Campground. |
