Recollection of setting up camp and observing a tall bi-pedal animal running near Palm Beach Gardens
While setting up camp in the late afternoon near a wooded area with a man-made canal and large dirt pile, the witness saw a very tall, brown-haired bipedal figure run across an open field about 100 yards away. The figure paused to look toward the group, then ran quickly up the steep dirt pile, paused to look again, and disappeared over the other side. The group decided not to remain to camp that night.
Year long sightings by family
The witness describes repeated nighttime visits to a rural property over about a year by a family of large hairy creatures that ate fruit, looked in trailer windows, and once bit a penned hog. The witness reports seeing three individuals of varying heights, hearing frequent chattering, noticing odor, tracks and hair, and attempting to hunt them without driving them away. After about a year the visits stopped, believed to have ended when habitat regrew.

Daylight observation of a hair-covered bipedal figure in the Grassy Waters Preserve
The witness and a companion were walking a preserve boardwalk in the early morning after being denied a guided canoe trip. From the boardwalk they watched a tall dark figure at the base of a distant cypress tree repeatedly squat, dig in the mud, stand, and bring a hand to its mouth for several minutes. Two park rangers were also present, but requested binoculars fogged and were unusable. The witness described the figure as human-like in posture and movement and did not consider it a bear.
