Class A First-hand BFRO #15361

Nighttime sighting by motorist near Land O'Lakes

7 July 2006 around 10:30 at night Land O Lakes, Pasco County, Florida

Account

The witness was driving at night behind another car when both vehicles stopped for a tall, dark, manlike figure crossing the road in the headlights. The figure was described as 8-9 feet tall with very long arms and a strong musk odor that lingered after it left. It reportedly broke the top off a barbed-wire fence post, went over the fence, and disappeared into the woods. The next day the witness found a broken post, bent wire, and broken brush leading into the treeline.
