Incident #991581
Brooksville, Hernando Cty, Florida
mid 1960's
Account
Eulah Lewis was outside her mobile home at the outskirts of Brooksville when she heard a noise, looked up and saw a dark, hair-covered creature about 6 feet tall standing there. She ran for the house and so did it. She was closer and got there first. Next day found footprints in woods, not described. Also would hear loud screeches that sounded like as many as three communicating. (A dozen years later Mrs. Lewis lived at the same place but the nearest woods were miles away.)
