Tim Fasano
Tim Fasano (September 13, 1956 – November 14, 2019) was an American Bigfoot hunter, blogger, author, and taxicab driver who was written about in various publications, including the Tampa Bay Times , The Palm Beach Post , and U.S. News & World Report .[1] [2] [3]
Fasano ran a blog called "Tampa Taxi Shots"[4] about his experiences driving a cab in Tampa, Florida. The blog was popular and gained the attention of The Tampa Tribune [5] and the St. Petersburg Times.[6] In 2009, he began exploring the swamps and forests of Florida in search of the elusive Skunk ape or Florida Bigfoot – a decade-long exploration he chronicled in his blog "Sasquatch Evidence"[7] and on his YouTube channel,[8] to which he uploaded over 1,300 videos, some with over a million hits. In 2020, his memoir, The Cabbie's Tale, was published posthumously by Coyote Canyon Press.
