Scream Heard in a Cypress Swamp outside Ft. Myers
Account
Around mid-summer 1982 or 1983, the witness and a companion were camping in a wet cypress swamp in Lee County after dark. After building a campfire, they heard a single deep, drawn-out scream from the swamp less than a mile away, after which insects went silent. They saw and smelled nothing, broke camp immediately and left on foot.
