Man describes his father's sighting near Lakeland

Shining a light, the witness saw the silhouette of a tall bipedal figure near the pond that stood up and ran off, with vocalizations continuing fainter into the distance. A relative living in the house came outside and heard the final vocalization and a distant gunshot, and another relative later arrived to find the area empty.

Two fisherman run from a large screaming creature in the woods near Highway 7

The account was relayed to the reporter by a relative of one participant, who said the participant remained frightened of that woods afterward.
