Various occurences between Lake Kissimmee and Tiger Lake that may be BF-related

November 1985 Fedhaven, Osceola County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

Two people riding in a jeep to stock pig feeders and gather firewood noticed a very tall, dark-furred figure with no visible neck standing between two isolated pines about a hundred yards away. Its upper torso rose well above the tall grass and it filled much of the gap between the trees. When the witness glanced down and looked back a moment later the figure was gone, leaving both people badly frightened.
