Long bigfoot trackway found in state forest near Jacksonville

On a February night during a team camping investigation, the witness walked a sandy road near powerlines and found large footprint impressions in the sand. The team marked the clearest prints and returned in the morning to document a faint quarter-mile trackway ending at a creek, measuring 16-inch prints with a 54-inch stride. They attempted plaster casts and a phone-based 3D scan, though thick plaster obscured toe detail.

Possible roadside sighting in the daytime in Myakka City

The witness was driving east with a companion on a private dirt road in daylight when she noticed a dark, shaggy shape behind a fence near Long Creek. She described it as crouched or standing motionless, with a pointed head and broad shoulders, about three feet taller than the fence, and believed it was trying to remain unseen. The companion did not see it, and when they turned around and returned the shape was gone, but they found what they thought were two footprints nearby.

Possible sighting and footprints found by father and son while setting turtle lines outside Deltona

A witness and his two sons were leaving an area where they had been setting turtle lines when the witness saw a tall reddish biped near a dirt road about a quarter-mile away that stepped into the woods. He stopped without describing it aloud, and a son asked if he had also seen it, indicating the son had seen the same thing. They found two barefoot-like prints beside deer tracks at the spot, but rain covered them before photos could be taken.

Possible evidence of activity found at Bulow Creek State Park

The witness was hiking off trail in the morning when he found an intertwined tree formation topped with a woven dead Y-shaped branch that he felt could not have occurred naturally. He marked the location with GPS and photographed it. He later wondered if it could be a navigation or territory marker after reading a local encounter report from the same area.
