Daylight observation of a hair-covered bipedal figure in the Grassy Waters Preserve

The witness and a companion were walking a preserve boardwalk in the early morning after being denied a guided canoe trip. From the boardwalk they watched a tall dark figure at the base of a distant cypress tree repeatedly squat, dig in the mud, stand, and bring a hand to its mouth for several minutes. Two park rangers were also present, but requested binoculars fogged and were unusable. The witness described the figure as human-like in posture and movement and did not consider it a bear.

Family has a strange and terrifying encounter while fishing in the Everglades National Park

While night-fishing beside a canal in the Everglades with his parents as a young child, the witness heard something pacing back and forth in dense vegetation behind them.

Frightened by the persistent, methodical pacing, the family fled in their car without breaking down their fishing rods.

Scary encounters outside a rural home near Jackson

While sleeping on his stomach, the witness felt hands wrap around his ankles and yank him from bed. He was dragged face-down through a long hallway without feeling expected pain, then sensed a sudden shift from wood to an ice-cold metallic floor where he could slap his hands for friction. He remembers nothing after that and woke in his original sleeping spot but on his back, a position in which he cannot normally sleep.
