Class A First-hand BFRO #35270

City planner sees large upright animal while touring property near Punta Gorda

15 March 2006 around 4:30 PM Punta Gorda Fl, Charlotte County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

In spring 2006 the witness was touring a large ranch in a converted school bus with county review staff. While the bus slowed for hogs, the witness looked across a flooded pasture and saw a tall, dark-haired bipedal figure standing on a small rise about 125 to 150 yards away. The figure was visible for a few seconds before vegetation blocked the view, turning its upper body toward the bus as it passed while apparently holding something in its arms.
