Class B First-hand BFRO #13961

Possible stalking of boar hunters at night outside Okeechobee

15 August 2003 about 3am Okeechobee, Okeechobee County, Florida 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were resting while hunting hogs with dogs when they heard distinct bipedal-sounding steps that appeared to mimic their own movements and approach them. Fearing it was a person, they fled across a swampy opening. After stopping, they heard loud thrashing and breaking of brush moving away from them through the treeline.
