Possible daylight sighting by a bicyclist on the General James A. Van Fleet State Trail

The witness was bicycling on a trail through swamp in the early afternoon when two dark brown figures crossed the trail about 200 yards ahead. The figures paused briefly to look toward the witness, then ran off into an area with no visible trail and a steep bank and quickly disappeared from sight. The witness thought they looked like Bigfoots but considered a hoax or soldiers as possible explanations, and noted a large military helicopter flew overhead just after.

Hunter watches creature picking persimmons in the Green Swamp

The witness was scouting for deer near a persimmon tree in the evening when he noticed an animal feeding. Initially thinking it was a bear, he watched for about 20 minutes as it alternated between standing to pick fruit and dropping to the ground. When it left, it walked away upright on two legs for about 40 yards, convincing him it was not a bear.
