Class A First-hand BFRO #40618

Motorist brakes to avoid a large hairy biped near Bristol

28 March 2013 just after dark Bristol, Liberty County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving at night toward a relative's house when headlights revealed a very large black hairy biped near the roadside. The figure stepped into the road directly in front of the truck, took four steps across, and disappeared into the woods within seconds. The driver braked hard to avoid a collision, leaving skid marks that investigators later photographed.
