Possible 1AM sighting by commuter on forest road 17 miles west of Daytona Beach

The witness was driving south on Highway 11 late at night with a bright light bar on when a tall hairy biped crossed the road ahead and stepped over a guardrail into the trees. The witness slowed, noted large wet footprints on the pavement where it crossed, then turned around and drove back but saw only a disturbed spot at the treeline. The witness estimated the creature was 7-8 feet tall with reddish-brown shaggy hair and a large chest, seen for only a couple seconds.

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.

Motorist spots a tall unknown figure crossing Walter Boardman Loop

The witness was driving with a companion toward a bait shop in the morning when he saw a tall dark bipedal figure cross the road ahead near distant vehicles. The figure moved quickly in a few long strides and entered the woods before the companion could see it. The couple searched the treeline but found no trace, and a park employee later suggested a bear, which the witness rejected.

Large humanoid figure seen at night near beach

The witness and a companion were standing on a boardwalk at night when they saw a dark upright figure walking at the edge of the surf. The figure moved south with a smooth, long stride and swinging arms before disappearing down the beach. No footprints were left because it was walking slightly in the water.
