SIGHTINGS 2004
PASCO COUNTY-St.Antonia Florida-July 15,2004/ Hot pre-dawn hours./ Off Ruby Lane; owners 10,000 acre wilderness
with swamp land. Witness and buddies were scouting for the up coming deer season and were in the woods about 4
days. On the third day walking through a thick marsh following a rub line on the Cypress Trees they came upon one of
the many dikes on his property. They jumped up on it to take a rest when they got a wretched smell of something in the
distance,they all just dismissed it as some wild hogs. Knowing there were hogs in the area a buddy loaded his
Mossberg 12 gauge with some slugs. They headed in the direction of the smell. Upon arriving at the area of the smell
they found a decapitated hog, they heard crashing through the brush, then an awful scream in the distance. Starting
towards the noise they, figuring safety in numbers, after running about 100 yards into the scrub brush they saw a tall
dark figure run over the dike where they had just come from. It waded across the water which is about 8 feet deep with
its head and shoulders protruding from the water, by the time they got back to the dike there was no sign of it until 30
seconds later a hog head came hurtling out of the swamp and hit his buddy in the side. At this point his buddy
unloaded 5 rounds into that general direction. Later that afternoon they packed up and left.

SOUTH CAROLINA-Sumter County- Jan.24-25,2004./ Witness said he went to let his dogs into house when he heard
something down the hill making a lot of noise./ Not knowing what it was he got his father and they both went to check./
They brought along their guns for protection./ Walking down the hill taking one of their dogs,a Jack russell named
Edison./ The path they used was made when power lines had been strung through the area./ Hurricane Hugo caused
damage by knocking down trees and the path wasn't used anymore. / Getting down to the end of the path they could
hear what ever it was right down in the woods about 25 yards away./ Knowing that most wild life would run away when
approached witness told his dad that he wasn't going any further./ Father agreed./ Their dog Edison decided he wasn't
leaving and headed into the woods./He stood with his eyes fixed on something and calling him he wouldn't
move./Witness fired his gun thinking the dog would come to them as he 's afraid of gun shots./ He did move some but
still was looking at something that now was moving towards them./ Scared the witness fired into the woods,this caused
what ever it was to stop for a second then it started towards them again./ This time his father shot in the direction of
their visiter./Again it stopped this is when they grabbed the dog and went back to their house./ They put the dog away
and decided to get more ammo and head for back yard to an old van that was over looking the hill./ Father thought
what ever this was it was probably what had been bothering their dog Smokey when he was in the back yard./waiting for
an hour they never heard it again. The next morning it was raining and there was a little sleet.They went to see what
they could find but there was lots of leaves on the ground and it was wet./ He did find what he thought were footprints
about a size 13./ Witness said this because he wears a 13 shoe and it was about the same size./ His Dad figured what
ever or whoever it was was probably 6 ft. tall at least./ There were trees bent over but there hadn't been any strong
wind,would have took a Hurricane to bend them over. Found small red berries also but no vines or bushes for them to
come from.This happened behind the Shaw AFB.There is a creek and a small run off from creek , it travels to a huge
ditch where the water runs into it.
