Collier County-1987/ 5 miles to Lake Trafford./ Nearest town Immokalee./ Witness said she lived in an orange grove./
They had been fishing during day and returning home she and husband and brother ,11 years old, were still up, her
children asleep./ Heard dog barking, sounded very scared./ Husband went to check saw big shadow on shed./ He ran
back inside to get his gun as he thought it was a bear./ The dog sounded as if it was being muffled./ Going back out
side,including witness and her brother saw something running down driveway./ Husband shot into woods./ Heard a
terrible growl then deathly quiet./ She said it made the hair stand up on her neck,said she would never forget the
feeling./ Next day they found weird looking footprints,knew it wasn't a bear, looked human/ What ever it was jumped
from street across the canal and landed on its feet./ There were other reports of something strange in area./ People
who lived in house before them had their back door tore slap off./ They thought at the time it was a break in by robbers.
