Couple hears loud wood knocks and responses in large nature reserve 20 miles north of Orlando
A couple parked off a dirt road in a Florida state reserve and walked around, turning back from a lower swampy area. After returning to a dirt path, they heard loud banging like hitting trees that alternated back and forth between two directions. They listened briefly, could not explain the purpose, then walked back to the car and left.
Possible nighttime road crossing on HWY 528 outside Orlando
Late at night the witness was driving alone on a toll road toward the airport after slowing for a delayed flight and rain. About 10 feet from the roadside the witness saw a very large silver-grey coarse-haired figure with a very broad back and very wide shoulders moving very fast away from the road toward a fence, hunched or bent over. The witness stated it was unlike deer, turkey, hog, cow, bear or human commonly seen in the area.
Car passenger spots a large brown figure at the St. John's River near Christmas
The witness was riding in a car crossing the St. Johns River on Highway 50 in the early evening when she glanced toward the river. She saw a large brown upright figure walking away from the water's edge, taking several large steps with noticeable arm swing.

Small school group observe man-like figure on two separate nights east of Orlando

Possible daytime sighting by motorist on FL Turnpike outside Orlando (near Ocoee exit)
The witness was riding as a passenger south on the turnpike near the Ocoee exit around noon when he watched a large brown-covered biped walking the same direction in a swampy meadow about 100 yards away for 5 to 10 seconds. The figure had an odd gait, uniform dark brown color including the hands, no identifiable clothing, and a pointed head with little visible neck. His wife was driving and did not see it, and he remained uncertain whether the figure was human.
Rural residents disturbed by nighttime activity near Buffalo Creek
Throughout spring 2004 the witness and several neighbors repeatedly heard what sounded like a bipedal creature walking through woods at night, often while area dogs barked intensely. Plants outside the witness's window were found repeatedly flattened and scratching was heard on a neighbor's house. In May the witness heard a loud distant scream described as a classic Bigfoot scream. The disturbances stopped abruptly in July.
Kayaker smells a terrible odor and then sees a hair-covered figure on the Econlockhatchee River
The witness was kayaking ahead of a companion on a narrow river on a cool clear morning when a thick musty odor hit. The witness then saw a wide mass of long shiny fur rise near the bank and run away through dense woods, snapping small trees. The odor lingered so strongly the witness held breath and paddled away for fresh air.
Memory told of hearing a loud breathing-growl while camping at Disney's Fort Wilderness
The witness was awake alone inside a pop-up camper at night while relatives were away and two children slept. She heard very loud heavy breathing and growling immediately outside an open window about seven feet off the ground. She shouted for it to leave, the sound stopped at once, and the children woke. She later inferred the source must have been 7 to 8 feet tall and believes it may have been a Bigfoot looking into the camper.
Scream exchanges heard by camper on Appalachian Trail near Greenwood Lake
The witness hiked to a bedrock outcropping to camp overnight. Around midnight the witness awoke and heard a loud high-pitched scream from about 100 yards away. The witness shouted back and exchanged screams for about an hour, including screams later heard from a different direction, while throwing gathered stones toward the sounds. In the morning the witness found dry leaves in the sound area and was puzzled at hearing no movement noise.
