Young Witnesses Encounter MASSIVE BIGFOOT in Ocala National Forest, Florida

Three young friends were biking along a sandy road in Ocala National Forest, Florida when they suddenly observe a massive Bigfoot cross the road about 40 yards ahead of them.

"I wanted to report something that happened to my daughter and two of her friends back in 1989. My daughter Roxanne had taken a trip with her school friend Kimberly and Kim's brother Keith down to Ocala, Florida to stay at Kim's grandmother's house for the weekend. Kim's grandparents had a home deep in the woods down a long dirt road. We're still trying to figure out approximately where they lived since my daughter was only 11 years old when this happened and kids pay little attention to details at that age.

The three of them had taken their bicycles and were riding them down the road in the forest. The road was typical Florida sugar sand which makes riding not as easy as a hard road. Suddenly a huge animal walked out of the woods about 40 yards in front of them. They all stopped as the massive creature walked across the road from the animal. According to my daughter, they recognized it immediately as a Bigfoot it was looking directly at them as it crossed. She said it never expressed any kind of emotion on his face and showed zero concern about them seeing it.

On the other hand, the kids were terrified. She described the creature as being massive, and at least seven feet tall, but maybe more. She also said it definitely was not an ape, but the face was human-like and covered with hair. Furthermore, she said it had huge hands. It could have probably covered their whole heads with one hand. She said she did not see any claws, just long fingers. The head appeared slightly domed and the color she described as being like a sun-bleached brown, basically brown with reddish highlights but not orangish like an Orangutan. They did not see anything that indicated gender. The face was more flat as opposed to having a snout or a muzzle like a bear.

As soon as the Bigfoot entered the woods on the other side of the road they turned their bikes around and bolted for the house. They described their escape as terrifying in the soft sand that impeded their speed. She said that as tall and built as the creature was there would have been no way to outrun it if it had pursued them.

As soon as they got to the grandparents' house they all ran inside exclaiming that they had just seen a Bigfoot. The grandmother was in the kitchen baking a cake and blew it off saying they probably saw a monkey since there were occasional monkey sightings in the area. Some places, like Silver Springs, Florida, not far from Ocala, have large populations of monkeys from the days back when Tarzan movies were filmed there.

I recently spoke with my daughter about the experience she insisted that it was not a monkey or a bear and that the animal just appeared too human-like to be an ape of some kind. She said it walked on two legs just like a human does. She says it bothers her this very day, and that she could not rationally explain what the three of them saw that day. But they saw it clearly in the middle of a bright hot sunny day."
