Polk City, Polk Cty, Florida
about 1974
Account
Mrs. Peterson said she saw a sasquatch in her back pasture that ran crouched over, faster than a horse, with long flowing hair on its head and shoulders. In that area, near Green Swamp, 15-inch tracks were found in orange groves, not clear if they relate to this sighting, and a boy claims to have hit a sasquatch on a dirt road (1638)
