Possible vocalization east of Ft.Myers

The witness and a teenage helper were hauling cut branches on a relative's wooded property in the late afternoon when they heard three loud, deep whoop-like sounds from a swampy area.

The group later noticed smeared foot impressions at the site, but rain had obscured detail and no identifiable evidence was preserved.

Couple hears strange night time howls across stream from their home

On a winter evening at home, the witness went outside with the dog and heard prolonged loud howling he did not recognize. He brought his wife to listen, and they later heard what sounded like two separate sources calling from across a gulch while neighborhood dogs barked. After comparing internet animal sounds they felt the howls most closely resembled an alleged Ohio howl recording, but a later check of the area found no tracks.
