found footprints 16 inches long and very wide,to wide to be human./ There were five toes.

NOTE- After emailing back and forth I got a little more details on this sighting-The witness said it never got bipedal. It
was very quick jumping across the ravine and the street and into the woods. She thought it moved so quickly that she
felt it couldn't move that fast on two legs.She said she assumed it was bipedal though. Would never forget the eyes or
the creature. She said she doesn't go out doors at night any more. Her daughter who is now married still won't drive by
the intersection at night.

2005-Seminole County-Witness Clint Richins.who lives in Utah sent a sighting report that had several accounts of
sightings .His sighting happened in 2005 He was working on The Deseret Cattle and Citrus Ranch, located in Deer
Park Florida.The ranch is over 360,000 acres and has its own security force. There are 18 different units. Clint was
working one of the units that was in the middle of the ranch. One night he and another cowboy went out to look for
deer.They drove down a road that turned into a cattle trail. There they came upon a pond, looking around for gators
walking down to the bank they found four barefoot, human tracks, that were in the mud. The track had dermal ridges.
It was a very remote area.The other cowboy said well "I guess those things are real". Meaning the Skunk Ape that
they'd heard about on the ranch. He put his foot next to one of the prints and it was four inches longer then his size
twelve shoe. He tried to put his boot in the mud as deep as the tracks and couldn't come close. He said he weighs
about 200 pounds. He took a photo of one of them and said he still has it .

He and his brother-in-law in 2004 saw a Sasquatch while hunting elk in UTAH (Where he resides) at about 30 feet
away. It let out a low growl at them that sounded like a big cat. Going to Florida to work on the ranch, he talked to
several cowboys who worked and lived on the ranch their whole lives if they'd ever seen a Sasquatch (Skunk Ape)
down there. Some said they had but wouldn't talk about it. Others were very open and told Clint that several Skunk
Ape had been around the ranch for years. Said that tracks were common. They weren't surprised when the witness
and the other cowboy told them about the tracks.The witness said that hunters would ask him when he was out
feeding calves if he'd seen any deer and he'd ask them if they'd seen the creature and a couple said they had. One
hunter said he saw a Skunk Ape run down a doe, break its neck and throw it over its shoulder.

A Bigfoot Research Team tried to get permission to go on the ranch but due to insurance reasons were told they
couldn't.

When Clint first came down to the area a few days before there was a sighting on Nova Road that was just behind his
house.
One cowboy who lived there all his life told him a story about when he was a kid years earlier. He was sleeping one
night and heard something just outside his window. He sat up in bed and saw a Skunk Ape looking in on him. The old
home he lived in was up on stilts and that the creature had to be a least 9 feet tall to look in. He didn't remember what
color but he still doesn't go out on horse back at night.This mans name is Gene and was the manager of the ranch
the last the witness heard.

Another story a woman told him was a couple years earlier then his when her and her husband was driving through a
hurricane and the road was washed out and the storm was getting more severe. She and her husband ran to hide in a
culvert and every time the lightening would strike she could see cattle standing in the pasture after several strikes she
saw them running and thought they were scared of the storm, that's when she saw a big black person running after
them, she said she could see its arms swaying back and forth as well. She said it didn't run like a person did and she
could see the water splashing as it ran. She said the experience made her scared and she wanted to forget it.

The witness said he had several experiences on horse back where he felt watched. This time just about dusk he was
driving about 10 head of cattle out of the pasture to the road which was about a mile away,when the horse he used
every day acted up. This animal was gentle and never gave any problems until this one time when he came upon a
swamp area with Pine and Cyprus trees on both sides. The horse stopped and refused to go any further. He kept
looking off into the woods and kept blowing. Finally Clint had to get off and led him through the area. He said he felt a
strong feeling of evil and that he was being watched. After getting away from the area he didn't return to look around
as time would not permit.

PASCO COUNTY-Holiday,Florida-Summer of 2005-This report was sent Friday and I'm waiting on some more details
hopefully about the creature that was seen. There were two witnesses a woman and her daughter traveling at 2:30 Am
in the early morning hours. They were traveling down Perrine Ranch road and had come upon the intersection of
Perrine and Grand Blvd. They stopped for the red light. There wasn't any other cars or any one at all around. It was a
very hot and humid night. The sky was clear with no rain.Waiting on the light to change she saw off to her right a
creature she describes as being very big, bigger then any dog. It was standing on four legs. It had a broad chest that
thinned down to its back legs. The legs were large and muscled. It was covered in dark grey hair that was about 4 to 6
inches long. It had hair on its face. She said it had glowing eyes like she'd never seen before. It moved very slowly as it
starred at them, never seemed frightened and it just walked across the street and into the woods.The sighting was
about 2 or 3 Minutes she said she didn't get out of her car, they were alone and were very frightened. Going home she
woke her husband to tell him what she saw. She thought the rest of the family thought she was a little crazy. She said
her and her daughter loved to take late night hikes on the beach but sense this happened it's took her two years to
even go outside at night again. Her daughter found this web site and she said that there was another sighting in about
the same area and so she felt the need to tell about her sighting. (The other sighting was 2009 in Pasco County,Holiday
Florida near where she had hers. She also said she lived about two miles from the sighting.She said she really didn't
want to remember this creature but it was something that she couldn't forget. I've sent an email to her hopefully to get
some more details on the creature as it was on all fours not bipedal. )
