Possible rural encounters experienced by a young man growing up outside Okeechobee
Account
The witness and a companion walked into the woods at night toward a slew and noticed a large figure among palmettos and oaks ahead. The figure stood up and moved quickly behind a tree while heavy footsteps were heard nearby in pepper trees. Both fled toward a fence as the witness glimpsed a huge bipedal figure through the trees and heard a low gurgling exhale.
