12 October 2023 11:45 pm Raiford, Union County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The driver was traveling home late at night with a companion when a very large dark bipedal figure ran across the road ahead of the vehicle. The figure crossed in only a few strides at high speed and disappeared into the treeline where bushes shook but no trail was visible. The companion did not see it, and the driver slowed but did not turn back to investigate.
