Possible sighitng at dusk by father and daughter riding an ATV near Bartow

The witness and his daughter were riding a four-wheeler through orange groves to watch pigs when they stopped to listen.

Frightened, they left quickly, and the witness later concluded it resembled a Sasquatch.

Two deputy sheriffs report hearing possible vocalizations while hog hunting near Poinciana

Two men were hog hunting at night in woods near a lake when they heard a loud deep chuffing sound given four times from several hundred yards away, followed by complete silence of other animals. About an hour later they heard the same sound much louder from about 50 yards away and heard something moving slowly westward along the treeline. They remained frightened and sat back-to-back for the rest of the night and later could not identify the sound.

Eerie vocals in the forests of Karlin

The witness reports hearing strange laughter-like sounds from woods near a companion's house over several months, later followed by almost nightly yard disturbances. Other household members and a neighbor also heard the sounds, and trash was disturbed, items knocked over, and apples went missing while dogs barked. The witness never saw the source and states no physical evidence was recovered, with activity stopping when weather turned cold.
