Repeat night visits scare away roommates near Alva

10 October 2012 nighttime ALVA, Lee County, Florida

Account

The witness reports ongoing nighttime visits at a rental property since March 2012. He hears sounds, smells odor, and sees a shadowy figure run toward the woods. He believes it is a female with a child that steals fruit, garbage and fish, and says the figures watch people in the yard and peer through windows.
