Class A First-hand BFRO #14427

Man recalls having a dead rabbit thrown at him while riding his ATV near Live Oak

7 July 1994 about 3 thirty in the afternoon Live Oak, Suwannee County, Florida 1 witness

Account

The witness was walking a logging-road loop with two dogs in the afternoon when the woods went quiet and the dogs froze. About 50-60 yards uphill the witness saw a very large shape standing among oaks and brush. The shape grabbed and shook two oak trees and made a loud wailing scream, after which the dogs disappeared and the witness left quickly for the house.
