Sasquatch sighting near Pioneer, Florida

The witness, then a 10-year-old boy, was catching reptiles in a dry creek bed behind his grandparents' rural property when a tall slender ape-like female appeared across the creek with an infant. He crouched and pretended to eat vegetation to avoid provoking her while they observed each other for several minutes. A taller darker male then emerged, bared his teeth and displayed aggressively, and the female positioned herself between the male and the boy. Both creatures then left into the brush, and the boy ran home and told his grandmother, who said she believed him.

Chatter in Florida

While working in Florida, the witness repeatedly heard rapid chattering from woods behind the parking lot as distant coyotes went silent, and smelled a wet-dog and skunk-like odor from the swamp. The sounds lasted minutes and recurred on several occasions. Nothing was ever seen.

UFO sighting in Florida

While driving back to the family property late at night, the witness and three others saw a glowing blue triangle hovering motionless about 300 yards above a retention pond. They left to bring the mother to see it, but it was gone when they returned. The witness noted nearby military bases but could not explain the silent hovering.

Dogman sighting in Florida

The witness and four others were sitting in the backyard at night when pebbles and then a cow femur were thrown toward them. A tall dog-headed figure with a human-like body stepped out of the wood line about 20 feet away. When all witnesses stood, it left into the woods without vocalizing.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

The witness was riding with both parents on a highway in northwest Florida near a river bridge. The mother first thought she saw a person in a ghillie suit, but the father braked and identified it as a skunk ape. The witness saw a tall, reddish-brown, two-legged figure walk away from the river and crouch into tall brush.

Footsteps in Florida

The witness returned with a friend in law enforcement to camp at the same area. Friday night they heard close footsteps and saw hogs, Saturday they measured the sighting location and saw broken vegetation, and Saturday evening the friend silently alerted and later said a creature watched them from about 15 feet. On leaving they found fresh teepee-like grass structures with the same foul smell, and afterward both were questioned by supervisors who called it a bear.

Odor in Florida

The witness paddled a kayak in pre-dawn darkness to scout fish and noticed unnatural quiet. After daylight he smelled a horrific odor, heard a powerful scream-growl that shook vegetation, and saw a face behind a palm frond. The creature charged into the water to within about 15 feet while he held up a paddle, stared with a hostile expression, then turned and walked back to the woods.

Vocalization in Florida

After relocating south, the witness was awakened in the early morning by a dog and heard two loud roars outside. The sounds coincided with a nearby equestrian event that drew many horses. The witness wonders if the sounds could have come from a large unknown animal.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

The witness was out at night with a friend and the friend's father when their dogs ran back terrified and would not leave the dog box. While driving out they saw high wide eyeshine and an outline that leapt from a tree. A crouched hairy shape then rose screaming and tore at trees, and the witness fired his shotgun before all three fled in the truck and never returned.

Unidentified sound in Florida

The witness was scouting for a redfish tournament from a kayak in Florida near NASA property in the early morning. After hearing a large splash, smelling a nauseating odor, jumping wild hogs, and hearing a powerful scream-growl with trees shaking, the witness saw a tall hairy human-like face watching from behind a palm frond. The creature charged to the water's edge about 15 feet away, stopped when the witness raised a paddle and yelled, stared again, then walked back into the woods, leaving the witness physically ill and anxious for weeks.

Property disturbance near Interlochen, Florida

After dogs began digging out, the witness found a section of four-foot chain-link top rail bent down into a V nearly touching the ground. He judged dogs could not bend it by hand and there had been no storm or fallen tree. Police had no explanation and the witness briefly suspected an attempted break-in.

Scream near Interlochen, Florida

While barbecuing late in the evening the family heard an extremely loud prolonged scream rising to a deep bellow felt in the chest. A wildlife official suggested a panther though none had been reported for years. The same sound recurred nightly between 9 and 10 for almost two weeks, leading the parents to restrict the children from going outside alone.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

A little over three weeks before the interview, while it poured rain and deer wailed nearby, the witness crouched covering a new camera on a levee by a canal. Through brush about 60 feet away he saw a large head with a black mask-like eye stripe staring at him, then it turned and left with slight brush movement.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

The rider describes the horse becoming agitated and difficult to control on a trail. The rider notices what had looked like a stump off the trail is now in the middle of the trail. The form stands on two legs, shows ears, cocks its head, and steps forward while the rider struggles with the horse.
