HILLSBORPOUGH COUNTY- Green Swamp,Fl./ (1990 or 1991)There was a story going around about a "Wild Man" in
the Green Swamp./ He was seen around farms in the area and no one could catch him./ This lasted over 8 months./
Sheriff D. Page decided enough and he went after him and caught him,and it really was a man not a monster./ The
man was a 39 year old Taiwanese Mariner who had walked out of the Psychiatric Ward of the Tampa General
Hospital. / He lived in the Swamp 8 months ,living on small animals ,bugs and what ever he could steal to eat./ They
cleaned him up and fed him and told him that they were going to send him home./ This story ended badly as the man
hung himself in his cell with his belt.

SOUTH CAROLINA-Laurens County- Near Cross Anchor/ Nearest road HWY 72./ Witness and his girlfriend,now his wife,
were riding the road looking for deer. Don't remember the exact road but it was between Hwy 49 and HWY 72 not far
from Ridge Road back towards Clinton./ It was around 1 or 2 Am when they saw something cross the road just out of
reach of the headlights./ It was walking on two legs. Punching the gas the witness tried to get down there to see what it
was. When getting close to the area where it crossed witness stopped and rolled down the window. and shone his mag
light around area and into the woods. / About 20 yards in he noticed a lump on a tree that seemed to move. Focused
the lite on the tree and the creature stepped out and just looked at them for a second or two then turned and walked
into the woods. Thw witness said he didn't know what to do. His wife was yelling at him to get out of there so he hit the
gas and drove off. Being dark it was hard to see how big it was but guessing he said about 7 feet tall. It looked to be
covered in brownish hair. Not sure about the face. The eyes glowed red in the mag lite. He said he had hunted the area
for years and heard a lot of unusual things but was the only time he saw anything.
