Motorist sighting ~ midnight at bridge of 229 over New River, 22mi N of Gainesville
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.
Bow hunter describes possible tracks, sounds and scat north of Lake Butler
The witness was archery hunting from a ground blind near a hog wallow when he heard close grunting and breathing that he could not see. After the sounds stopped he inspected the area and found very large scat and large deep tracks leading to and away from the scat. He first assumed hogs and then a very large bear made the sign, but later judged the scat too large for a Florida black bear.
