Sasquatch sighting near Davie, Florida (1974)
Account
A few weeks after first smelling a foul odor, the witness and his cousin were in bed when sensor lights came on. He crawled to a large window and saw a huge hairy figure in the driveway that screamed and flexed after apparently seeing its reflection. They watched it walk past the house, bite a wild watermelon, drink from a man-made lake by cupping its hands, and enter the swamp while screaming. It left eighteen-inch tracks that were later destroyed before casting.
