Witness Accounts
On a night in May 2011, Stacy Brown Jr. and his father experienced a significant encounter with a creature they believed to be Bigfoot while at their cabin in Northern Florida. The evening started without incident until around midnight when they began hearing distinct knocking sounds coming from outside the cabin. Initially skeptical, Stacy's father dismissed the noises as wind, but the sounds persisted and grew closer, leading to a sense of confusion and fear. Concerned by the mysterious knocking, which sounded deliberate as if someone were striking a tree, they armed themselves and cautiously exited the cabin to investigate the source of the noise. The woods were described as eerily silent except for the continued knocking. As they stepped outside, they noticed movement in the trees, and something large darted between the trunks, just beyond the reach of their flashlights. The figure moved quickly on two limbs, creating a sense of urgency for both Stacy and his father, who began to pursue it into the dark woods. During this chase, Stacy described the figure as a large upright creature, unlike any known animal. It was estimated to be over 7 feet tall, covered in thick hair, and moved much faster than either of them expected. The sighting was alarming enough that Stacy's father, who was a retired Ranger, expressed fear and urgency, prompting the two to retreat when they felt overwhelmed. As they stood in the woods out of breath and confused about what they had just witnessed, Stacy's father managed to capture a photo of the creature before it vanished into the darkness. They also recorded thermal imaging footage that showed a heat signature of the figure, which they later reviewed and found to be unexplainable by any known animal in the region. Despite the skepticism from others regarding their encounter, both Stacy and his father were adamant about what they saw and captured on camera. They understood that their experience was extraordinary and not easily dismissed, leading them to continue their search for evidence of Bigfoot in the years that followed. This encounter was not only significant for them personally but also sparked a deeper investigation into the existence of Bigfoot by collaborating with other researchers in the field.
