I realized it was not a man but a huge creature

“I was out trail riding in a remote part of the Ocala National Forest when I became stuck in a mud hole.

I was out there for several hours waiting for someone to come pull me out. What got my attention first was the sound of someone hitting something against a tree which striked me as odd considering where I was at and I didn’t hear any other vehicles prior to the knock so I proceeded to approach the sounds after walking about 300 yards away from my vehicle I saw what I thought was a huge man in a ghillie suit striking a pine tree with a large stick as I got closer I realized it was not a man but a huge creature that I will never forget as long as I live.

It had a huge chest probably 60in. across and though it was in a slumped standing position it had to be 8 feet tall with long muscular arms and long chest and mid section like its legs were shorter than chest area. As I was trying slowly to back away to get back to my truck I stepped on a stick and it immediately turned to look at me using its whole body to do so and then it ran off caring stick in a graceful stride through the woods.

There were a lot of broken saplings at about 7 foot level that were snapped off and a large nest like thing on ground with lots of acorns scattered around”

    That kind of experience would wake you up while waiting for a friend!! Best type to have, were you see the BF but no harm comes to either the man or the BF.

    its definitely frightening. what always worries me is that I think these things appear to take off quickly, but as the apex predator, it more than likely just gets some space between it and us, and really just doubles back around behind us.
