Possible nighttime sighting while standing with friends outside a rural home near Wesley Chapel

Account

Late at night the witness and two companions were talking outside a rural home when the witness noticed movement between houses. Under a street light they watched a tall dark hairy biped run across the cul-de-sac without looking toward them. The group reacted with great fear, with one person running inside and the others driving away, later agreeing they had seen a bigfoot.
