Class B First-hand BFRO #35574

Possible sighting and footprints found by father and son while setting turtle lines outside Deltona

May 2012 11 am DeBary, Volusia County, Florida 3 witnesses

Account

A witness and his two sons were leaving an area where they had been setting turtle lines when the witness saw a tall reddish biped near a dirt road about a quarter-mile away that stepped into the woods. He stopped without describing it aloud, and a son asked if he had also seen it, indicating the son had seen the same thing. They found two barefoot-like prints beside deer tracks at the spot, but rain covered them before photos could be taken.
