Class A First-hand BFRO #41892

Woman is startled to see a large hairy biped climbing her fence outside Clearwater

8 August 2013 about 1:55 a.m. Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

Around 1:55 a.m. the witness stepped outside to smoke and heard the chain-link fence rattle and brush breaking. Under a nearby security light she saw a large hairy creature straddling the fence; it turned, made eye contact, then swung its leg back over and dropped into the woods. She woke her daughter and both heard movement and smelled a foul odor, later finding the fence top bent and branches broken.
