Fish stolen from a boat, possible knocks and vocalizations near Punta Gorda

The witness reports repeatedly hearing loud wood-on-wood smacking sounds from different directions after midnight while soaking in a hot tub outside a trailer and later while on the second-floor deck of a new house. The property borders heavily wooded swamp adjoining a wildlife preserve. The witness initially wondered why anyone would be working in the woods at night, later associating the sounds with stick-banging described on a television show. No visual encounter is claimed.

Sasquatch sighting in Florida

An acquaintance who drove a bus said that years earlier while trucking across Alligator Alley at night he stopped at a lone stop sign where a damaged car sat empty with doors open and lights on. As he prepared to leave to find a phone, a massive wide-bodied hairy thing rushed from the woods to his cab, stared him in the eyes, yelled and dented his hood. At the next phone he met the car's occupants, who said they had hit one creature and then been attacked by another before fleeing with passing motorists.

Vocalization near Pinecrest, Florida

At about fourteen the guest was night-fishing with his father on phosphate-mine land when his father boated out to full traps and left him alone on the bank. He heard sticks breaking and louder thrashing, then saw movement in myrtle bushes and a tall tree shaking violently while a loud whoa-whoa vocalization sounded. He fled to the locked truck, and his father dismissed the sound as a cow.

Movement only in Florida

The witness and friends were invited to a house for what was described as a prayer ceremony for family turmoil. In a window-sealed dark room a bound medicine man lay on a blanket with offerings while drumming, singing, shakers, flapping like a bird, a small green light, eating sounds, and a scream or children playing were heard. When lights returned the blanket was strewn, food was missing, and the man was unbound, and hours had passed unnoticed.

They pursued on foot hearing twig snaps and rustling of something large and seeing shifting eyeshine eight to ten feet up. Members then reported feeling ill, disoriented, and trance-like, with the last person feeling lured away from the group.

The sounds are described as unlike anything heard before, with talking-like gibberish underneath barking-like sounds. The narrator suggests the sounds were condensed from the whole first night.
