Class A First-hand BFRO #49084

Memory told of a 'Hairy Man' crossing Hwy. 27 north of Homestead

20 June 1975 between 10:00 PM and midnight Redland, Dade County, Florida 1 witness

Account

Late at night in June, the witness was driving south on a dark two-lane highway through swampland with three children asleep in the back. She saw a large hair-covered figure come up from a roadside canal, stand on two legs and cross in front of her car. She slowed to almost a stop and watched it at very close range as it turned toward her before walking into the canal, then woke the children to tell them.
