Incident #991604
Brooksville, Fernando Cty, Florida
1972
Account
Five year old boy (not clear if this is Allen Carter or not) playing with trike, a large sasquatch and a baby came out of the woods and stood watching. The small one climbed the fence and the boy ran. His older brothers and sisters came and saw the baby playing with the trike on its side, spinning a wheel. It went back over the fence and the mother hid it under a bush. Later they left. Tracks reported followed to a swamp, no details. Said to have been eating tree roots, no specifics. No description of smaller creature.
