Memory told of a large hairy biped approaching a family as they dumped their garbage near Waukeenah

1974–1976 middle of the day Waukeena East Of Tallahassee, Jefferson County, Florida 4 witnesses

Account

Relatives stopping at a communal trash dump in daylight saw a very large, naked, reddish-brown hair-covered male figure emerge from the tree line about 70 feet away. The figure growled and grunted as it approached quickly to within about 30 feet, emitting a strong rotten odor. The family retreated to their car and drove away. The reporter states he was reportedly present but has no memory of the incident.
