Sasquatch sighting near Barden, Florida (1800)

The guest described a longstanding local legend of an 8 to 10 foot tall skunk ape that lounges around and is often seen carrying a lantern. Stories go back to the 1800s and include chasing people off horses, with a revival around the late 1960s. A store owner later admitted dressing a boy in a monkey costume to fake some sightings, which leaves earlier reports unresolved.
