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.

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.

Man recounts his possible daytime sighting while bowhunting near Crestview

The witness was bowhunting alone from a tree stand overlooking a field in autumn. About 2000 feet away across the field, a very large bipedal figure emerged from the woods, passed in front of a large oak tree, and reentered the woods over about a minute. Its dark appearance and arm-swinging walk reminded the witness of well-known Bigfoot footage. No sound was heard at that distance, and the site could not be checked until after dark.
