Possible howls 20 miles SE of Tampa, coming from Chito Nature Preserve
The witness was near Chito Nature Preserve in Lithia on a foggy, cold night when they heard three calls coming from the direction of the park. The calls grew louder in succession, described as whooping and a prolonged yell, with the last call very loud. The witness interpreted the sounds as Bigfoot vocalizations occurring at 10:30 p.m.
Possible early moming sighting from second story apartment in Atlantic Beach
Early in the morning the witness stepped onto a second-story apartment balcony and turned on the light. She immediately heard a loud primate-like scream followed by woo-woo calls, which set a neighbor's dog barking. After several minutes she noticed a tree rustling, heard low grunts and footsteps along a privacy fence, and watched a very wide, hunched, ape-like shadow lumber along the fence line before two figures reportedly moved off together into the dark.
Possible nighttime encounter experienced by campers in the West Tract of the Green Swamp Preserve
The witness and his son were camping in a tent near a swamp when they were awakened by a loud unusual vocalization, followed by prolonged loud whistling that seemed to circle the camp. About an hour later the witness woke again and saw an upright silhouette pass by the tent. A third companion slept through the sounds, and the group did not stay a second night.
Homeowner hears possible howls east of Winter Springs
Early on June 30, 2008, the witness was carrying trash to the curb in the dark when a loud, long ascending whoop ending in a booming oop was heard from a treeline across the street near a lake. The sound seemed aimed at the witness, carried very far, and did not match any known animal, causing fear and retreat to the garage. An owl called shortly afterward from the same area but sounded distinctly different.
Man camping with daughter hears unusual howls near the Oklawaha River
The witness and his daughter were sleeping in a tent at a small campground when they were awakened around 3 a.m. by loud, powerful howl-like calls coming from a nearby swampy area. The witness stated the calls were unfamiliar and unlike known local animals, and left him awake for the rest of the night. He later noted the calls sounded similar to vocalizations heard on a television program about Bigfoot.
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 witness could not match the sound to known local wildlife and briefly considered Bigfoot before dismissing it. He later checked whooping crane recordings online and concluded that was not the sound heard.
