Snowbirds report stalking by a bigfoot at RV park 4 miles north of Green Swamp

The witness stayed up late watching TV in an RV while her husband slept. She heard a series of loud, deep nasal grunt sounds from outside, estimated at about 100 feet away, which drew cats to the window. After going to bed she heard two distinct knocks on the side of the RV. She did not look outside and could not match the sounds to known animals.

Early morning encounter during a rest stop near Florida City

Two friends drove into the Everglades park in the early morning and parked at a pine habitat to nap in their car. They were awakened by an ape-like animal looking into the tinted windows, touching the car, and then rummaging through a nearby dumpster for an extended period while emitting a strong rotten odor. The animal eventually walked away howling, and the witnesses drove to Flamingo where they reported the encounter to rangers.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

An acquaintance who drove a bus said that years earlier while trucking across Alligator Alley at night he stopped at a lone stop sign where a damaged car sat empty with doors open and lights on. As he prepared to leave to find a phone, a massive wide-bodied hairy thing rushed from the woods to his cab, stared him in the eyes, yelled and dented his hood. At the next phone he met the car's occupants, who said they had hit one creature and then been attacked by another before fleeing with passing motorists.
