Class A First-hand BFRO #746

Sighting by two newspaper deliverymen around 3:30 a.m

Spring 1989 approximately 3:30am Oak Hill, Volusia County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

Two witnesses delivering newspapers stopped their pickup on a rural dirt road around 3:30am after seeing a large hairy ape-like figure standing in the headlights. The figure began to approach the truck and witnesses felt its midsection was clearly not a bear or other known animal. Both noted an overwhelming cabbage-like odor that caused one witness to gag.
