Driver spots a tall biped crossing the road just west of Miami

Late at night the witness was driving south on Krome Highway in western Miami after leaving a casino. In the outer reach of the headlights a tall dark bipedal figure crossed the road left to right in about three strides while hunched forward in a jogging motion. The witness estimated it at 8 to 9 feet tall with a build proportional to its height and said it never looked toward the car.

Man describes figure looking into window outside Homestead

In fall 1977 a teen woke just before sunrise and looked out his screened window, exchanging grunts with something outside that made the screen vibrate. He and his father then went outside and watched a very large hair-covered creature near the woods that faced them before running into the woods, breaking two small pines as it left. The next day a neighbor reported seeing the creature as well.

Memory told of a 'Hairy Man' crossing Hwy. 27 north of Homestead

Late at night in June, the witness was driving south on a dark two-lane highway through swampland with three children asleep in the back. She saw a large hair-covered figure come up from a roadside canal, stand on two legs and cross in front of her car. She slowed to almost a stop and watched it at very close range as it turned toward her before walking into the canal, then woke the children to tell them.

Possible collision with vehicle outside Homestead

Early one Saturday morning in 1971 or 1972 the witness was driving south on US 27 when he stopped at a fresh single-car wreck with law enforcement present. He saw a car with a crushed front fender and overheard officers remark that no one could have walked away from such an impact and about a bear moving unusually. He did not see any animal himself but later heard a radio news report saying the driver claimed to have hit a Florida Skunk Ape that officers chased into a thicket.
