Sasquatch sighting near Davie, Florida (1974)
Account
During a summer of frequent activity, the witness heard a horrific scream followed by a shotgun blast from a cattle ranch. He rode with relatives behind a deputy sheriff who struck a large creature with his car. The creature got up and hammer-punched the patrol car with both hands, lifting the rear off the ground. Later the group found a prize bull bleeding out with no head, its head 100 yards away across the pasture.
