Possible sighitng at dusk by father and daughter riding an ATV near Bartow

The witness and his daughter were riding a four-wheeler through orange groves to watch pigs when they stopped to listen. They heard several loud noises likened to yelling or a panther cry, then both saw a large dark upright figure move quickly between tree rows. Frightened, they left quickly, and the witness later concluded it resembled a Sasquatch.

The primary witness was in a bedroom with an infant and stood to close the blinds when she saw a large hairy face peering in the window. She fled the room with the child in shock. Minutes later three household members arriving at the house smelled a bad odor and heard footsteps retreating into the woods east of the house, but the source stayed beyond flashlight range.
