Boggy Man's Dramatic Sink Videos! Updated Jan 2'nd, 2024!!!

[Boggy Man]

On Friday, July 26'th, I had my second day of sinking of the season. This time, it was at my Crescent Road pond. Even with all the dry weather during that month, the water level was still high. But, fortunately, my sinking spot was exposed! However, while it was flooded earlier in the season, clods of sod that I had pushed under the surface last fall had floated back up through the loose mud, and redistributed themselves over the surface. While it cluttered up my patch of mud, it did look rather interesting. After I did my video, I tore some up, and pushed the rest under the floating mat of vegetation on the edge of the bog. However, water then ran over the surface of the mud, covering it up. When I got back in, the mud around me would get exposed again as I churned it. But, after exiting, the exposed mud would submerge again. It was exposed again the next time I returned, but that is another posting.

For this video, I decided to put on a junk sweater I had kept in the woods, and a pair of junk jeans which I had hid at home outside in a garbage can that is no longer in use. The jeans were very fragile and tore like paper, and I decided to work that into my story:


A man lost in the woods, wearing slightly tattered clothing, finally spots a road! But, there is a swampy area between him and salvation! He tries to cross the boggy area by jumping from sod clod to sod clod, or at least that was what he had hoped to do!





The innocent-looking patch of mud in the picture below quakes, and then bubbles erupt out of it. If you thought it was swamp gas, you would be wrong! It is the escaping breath from a 6' 2" man beneath the surface of that bottomless quagmire! Before he suffocates, he makes it back up to the surface, gasps for air , and slowly extracts himself from the slimy clutches of the batterlike ooze!

Incredible footage yet again, Boggy! Nicely played!

I'm glad to see you're back in the thick of it, Boggy Man. Your videos are always the best in quicksand melodrama and a genuine highlight on this site. Thanks for sharing with us.

I have to agree clayboy, boggymans videos are the only reason I bother to check this forum, and he never fails to disappoint

Thanks for the encouraging responses!

On Friday, August 9'th, I had my third outing of the season, where I returned to my Crescent Road pond for the second time this season. Just as I had hoped, the two week wait resulted in a definite drop in the water levels, with my sinking spot, which got submerged after disturbing it back on July 26'th, being exposed again! There was still some water on the east side, and a lot of the mud was still quite soggy on top, but it was way better than I had last seen it! I had a nice dramatic sink and escape there in front of the camera, and then afterwards, off-camera, spent a while submerged with swim goggles and a breathing hose, then just brief submergences without the hose, then lingering with my mouth exposed, then my face exposed, and then crawling over the entire area. This time, unlike last time, all surface water disappeared with the activity, leaving the entire bog with hardly any water on top, quite a difference from how I had left the bog last time!

Enjoy the videos!


A hiker is walking through a meadow, enjoying the great outdoors. Suddenly, he encounters a bear (offscreen) and quickly runs away from it, only to fall victim to another danger!





Here is a patch of disturbed mud, which doesn't look too threatening. But, it moves and bubbles, revealing that perhaps it is not so innocent after all! It has swallowed a 6' 2" man, who finally resurfaces to gasp for air, and then relaxes in the nice, cushiony quagmire, before getting sucked under again, with more bubbles erupting out of the batterlike ooze. The best place IN earth!





A patch of muddy ground heaves and pulsates like it is alive, and then bubbles briefly before becoming still! Ordinary mud doesn't do that! But then, this is not ordinary mud, and the movements and bubbles are coming from its suffocating meal struggling underneath the surface! But, the would-be meal manages to fight his way back up to the surface, and slowly escape the quagmire's deadly smothering embrace!

Wow boggy that was great, just my style. U were pretty deep at the end there, it's a shame you never got the hose submergence on video, I think I would have don't exactly the same as u if I had access to a bog, along with a couple of head first dives he he

Thanks for making the forum worth visiting

Three more home runs, Boggy Man. The quality of the video and sound is excellent, to say nothing of the convincing acting of a quicksand professional. Thanks!!
