1977, juillet, 11:00, USA, Highway I-75 (Alligator Alley) (Everglades Parkway)

Mr. Hector Abascal, 26 years old, and Mr. Jorge Porte, of 25 years of age, were traveling on highway I-75, also known as the Everglades Parkway. They were going to visit some friends in the city of Tampa. Afterwards, they were planning to continue traveling to Orlando, where they would later visit Disney World.

« We noticed that the car had a flat tire when we were near Naples, it was well over 11 at night. I opened the trunk, grabbed the lug wrench, and began loosening the nuts on the rim », said Hector. « The first thing we noticed was a bad smell shortly followed by some fairly audible footsteps. I looked to the other side of the highway and I saw an enormous creature, illuminated by the rear lights of our car, crossing the highway and heading right towards us. I turned around to see if I could find Jorge, but he was already at a good distance from me; he was so scared that he had already started running away from the site. I stood up holding the lug wrench in my hands like a weapon. Within an instant, the animal was already standing in front of me. I felt paralyzed. The animal looked at me, then it just turned around and walked away. It continued heading north, until it finally disappeared in the bushes. Jorge came back and we got in the car without saying a word. We left the place immediately, without even changing the tire », said Abascal.

According to their description, the Bigfoot creature was about 7 or 8 feet tall. It also emitted a strong scent similar to rotten eggs. It breathed heavily. It had the body shape of a human, but with the face of an ape. Furthermore, its body was covered with black hair. The interview was recorded on audiocassette.
