Account
Michael Bennett told his father that he and Lawrence Groom were driving down a dirt road toward Black Point near the water dkyke when they saw what appeared to be a giant apelike man 8 to 9 feet tall and very heavy set, standing next to a blue Chevy and rocking it back and forth with great force. A man got out of the car yelling for help. When the Bennett car's lights hit it the creature turned and ran into the mangroves.
