Bigfoot crosses SR-72 directly in front a vehicle west of Arcadia and just outside Myakka River State Park

The witness was driving east on Hwy 72 toward Arcadia at night when she first noticed what she thought was a deer to the right of the road. A large bipedal figure then ran across the road in front of her car, forcing her to brake hard, and disappeared into scrub on the far side. She stopped past the crossing point, got out of the car, heard nothing but smelled a musky odor, and called her children.

Youths have daylight sighting in wooded area of Sarasota

Three children were playing in a densely wooded area when they heard a loud crack like a stepped-on stick. They saw a tall hairy man-like figure watching them from near old vehicles and a ditch. The figure moved into full view, grabbed a tree branch and leaned forward to look at them, after which all three fled and did not return.
