Man describes figure looking into window outside Homestead

November 1977 just before sunrise Naranja Near Homestead Fla., Dade County, Florida 3 witnesses

Account

In fall 1977 a teen woke just before sunrise and looked out his screened window, exchanging grunts with something outside that made the screen vibrate. He and his father then went outside and watched a very large hair-covered creature near the woods that faced them before running into the woods, breaking two small pines as it left. The next day a neighbor reported seeing the creature as well.
