Seasoned hunter hears unknown screams from his stand near Holopaw

The witness was driving with windows down toward a hunting stand in a swampy management area before dawn when he encountered a strong unfamiliar musky odor. After parking and sitting in the stand for about 10-15 minutes, he heard three loud consecutive unfamiliar screams from the direction where he had smelled the odor. The sounds were very loud despite the estimated distance, and the woods stayed quiet afterward with no birds heard at sunrise.

The witness and a neighbor went into the wooded area of the witness's Florida property after dark to investigate heavy footsteps in leaves and brush. The neighbor ran toward the sounds expecting a person while the witness stayed about 30 yards away. A tall figure then ran past the witness in moonlight at extraordinary speed.

Hunter recalls incidents near Pecks Lake

In early November 1989 the witness and a relative returned after dark with a lantern to track a deer shot earlier with a bow. When the blood trail stopped they heard heavy bipedal footsteps pacing, saw a very large dark outline, and heard a guttural warning sound. Feeling threatened, they backed out while the witness held a handgun, and a next-morning search found neither deer nor tracks.
