OBSERVED: I was out hunting small game in Camp Blanding,on the still hunt side,close to Cemetery Road,I had a
friend of mine about 150 yards to my right and about 30-40 yards in front.I saw something running between us,going
from my right to in front of me,it was between the two of us.It stopped about 50-60 yards in front of me and turned and
looked at me,I stood looking trying to figure out what I was seeing for maybe 30 seconds,I then got down on one knee,
and watched about 45 seconds,it turned to its right,my left,and was gone.It was a dark brown,almost black,running
kinda like an old man that had back problems,bent over a little at the waist.It was on two legs,not four as all other
animals in the woods have.I could see the arms moving as it ran,just as a man's would when he is running.I am 6 foot
tall,I walked to the spot I saw it,looking at the tree it was beside,and was looking to see if I could tell how tall it Was from
what I could tell from what I saw,it stood about 7 foot tall.I looked for any tracks,found none as it was a swamp,nothing
but water,but you could see evidence that something was there from the way the grass in the water was laid over.I
called to my friend,asked if he saw anything,he said no.We both started walking,hunting more,all the while I was thinking
about what I saw.We walked approx. 1/2 mile from where I saw whatever it was,and he saw a VERY large pile of feces
on the ground,we both looked at it for a while,poking at it with sticks,trying to figure out what kind of animal it could have
come from.We both have hunted for over 35 years each,and have never seen anything like this.We saw alot of grassy
Ft Myers,Florida /Sept 20th' 2009/ Lagoon Drive/ 2:00 Am/ Clear,Dark but Clear
I was fishing on my back dock off the Caloosahatchee river and the Lagoon,Next to the Seminole train tracks or trestles.
No other witnesses.
At first site it appeared to look ape like but was hiding behind some small palm trees and grasses it appeared out of a
small ditch running right next to the lagoon. I was sitting in my lounge chair with my back to him so not sure if the ape
had seen me at the time.
ABOUT 7 foot TALL
HEAVY LOOKING 200 -300 LBS
Bright dark red eyes glowing at me.
Not sure of length of arms or legs as I said he was hiding in palm trees and grasses.
His face at first appeared to me to look apish like.long hair, Dark colored.It saw me after I stood up from my lounge Chair.
It's reaction was jumping around back and forth swinging his arms around reminded me of a chimp when it's aggravated
and jumping around. I believe I startled it when I stood up and faced him I don't think he knew I was there.
Several different trees I lived on a bird sanctuary,Palms tall grasses and lots of trees. Swamp or Lagoon very private
area.
I did not notify the authorities but woke up my wife and 13 year old son at 2:00 AM to tell them what I had seen. Told
other family members after that, that thought I was crazy.
No casts made
Sighting lasted maybe 3-4 minutes before either he or I ran off.
I lived there at the area so yes I continued to look for other sightings and a couple days later seen only 2 red eyes
glowing at me staring at me through the trees but did not see a body or any movement just eyes watching me from a
distance.
