Possible vocalizations and an approach to a residence outside Gainesville
Late at night the witness and a relative were indoors when they heard monkey-like hooting at the window and noticed vegetation moving outside. The relative went outside with a firearm and saw further movement near the end of the house while the witness heard grunting sounds near another window. The household dog ran to the relative but then whimpered, backed away, and refused to approach the side of the house. After a quiet interval, the two heard only distant noises when they went out again at midnight.
Man recalls multiple experiences (including a daylight sighting) as a youth near Gainesville
The witness and a companion were leaving a lake after fishing when they heard dogs barking and deep grunting near a swampy area. A very tall hairy biped emerged from reeds and ran upright across an open field while dogs chased it. After getting tangled and shouting, the witness saw the animal look toward them while running to the tree line, then both youths left for home.
