Stranded motorist has a daytime close encounter with an adult and juvenile near Lake Mack

15 January 2012 Around 1 pm Lake Mack, Lake County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness became stranded alone when a car sank in soft sand on a remote forest road. While digging out the tires, the witness was struck by a thrown rock, then heard movement, footsteps and loud hissing vocalizations from the surrounding brush. A large wet adult creature and a smaller juvenile were then seen at close range crossing the road, throwing material at the car, before disappearing into the forest.
