A fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot encounter in Florida has recently come to light, and I couldn't help but delve deeper into the story. The tale comes from the YouTube channel Lisa’s Escapades, in a video titled "He Locked Eyes With Bigfoot In Johnathon Dickinson State Forest!" The video recounts a chilling encounter that took place in 1978 at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, located north of Jupiter, Florida. A young boy decided to explore the campground and stumbled upon an old fire tower. As he climbed down the tower, he realized he couldn't get back over the fence the way he came in due to barbed wire. When he jumped to the back of the fence towards the woods, he made a loud thump, catching the attention of a massive figure. The boy described the creature as having a human-like face and a strong, wet dog-like odor. The being stood up and screamed, running across the road on two legs before disappearing into the woods. The boy was convinced that he had encountered a Bigfoot, a belief that was reinforced by the creature's distinctive smell. Fast forward to August 2021, another individual reported a sighting in the same area along US1. They described seeing a large, shaggy creature with long arms and grayish hair, walking down the road. The witness couldn't believe what they were seeing, and as they drove by, another vehicle slowed down, seemingly in shock as well. Both sightings occurred near Jonathan Dickinson State Park, making it an area of interest for those who believe in the existence of Bigfoot. These stories are a reminder that encounters with such creatures can happen anywhere, at any time. If you're intrigued by this tale, I encourage you to watch the video and hear the story directly from Lisa’s Escapades.
