Account
Two unnamed women driving in a dirt lane near Brooksville, encountered a huge black-haired creature sitting in the middle of the lane "so wide it filled the road". They turned around and left. There was a strong rotten odour. Sheriff's personnel later found large barefoot tracks. There had been strange whistles, groans and growls in the area, and chickens, rabbits and a dog were found drained of blood
