Man describes several compelling incidents while hunting in the Withlacoochee State Forest

September 2010 early morning Floral City, Citrus County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving past a hunting area in the dark with bright headlights on. A large black hairy biped ran across the road from one woodline to the other in three leaps with a bent-kneed stride. It turned its head toward the vehicle but facial details could not be made out except deep-set eyes.
