UNEXPLAINED FLORIDA: Witnesses Describe Cryptids, Humanoids & Monstrous Predators
Apr 4, 2026
Florida has long been known as a land of extremes. Swamps and pine barrens, remote prairie, coastline, farmland, and dense suburban development all exist side by side, creating a landscape where the natural and the unnatural often seem to overlap. Over the years, witnesses from across the state have described things that do not fit any accepted category. Some reports involve winged humanoids, others monstrous canines, bizarre upright predators, or strange entities glimpsed only for a moment, yet remembered for a lifetime. Tonight, we are going to examine nine such accounts, each one different in appearance and circumstance, but all carrying that same unmistakable mark of the unexplained.
What makes these cases so compelling is that they do not point to one simple answer. Instead, they suggest a broader pattern of anomaly that runs through Florida itself. These are not stories from a single town or a brief wave of sightings. They come from the Panhandle, Central Florida, the Gulf Coast, South Florida, the Keys, and beyond. Some witnesses were children at the time. Others were hardened adults who believed only in logic and ordinary explanations. But each of them came away with the same conclusion. They saw, heard, or felt something they could not explain, and in many cases, something they have never forgotten.
Florida has always occupied a peculiar place in the American paranormal map. It is famous for Skunk Ape lore, ghost stories, phantom cats, and unexplained lights, but beneath those more familiar legends lies another layer of testimony that is far harder to classify. These are reports that blur the lines between cryptid, supernatural manifestation, and something perhaps even stranger. A flying gargoyle near Zephyrhills. A giant feline thing that rises upright in broad daylight. A dark entity in the water that seems to move with intent. An owl-headed being stood calmly at the edge of the woods. Each report sounds different, yet together they form a body of evidence that deserves serious attention.
So tonight, we are not looking at folklore in the abstract. We are looking at firsthand testimony from people who insist that, for a few moments, the world stopped behaving the way it should. These are not polished legends. They are fragments of lived experience, strange, personal, and deeply unsettling. As we move through each account, one after another, a bigger question emerges. Are these isolated anomalies, or glimpses of a hidden reality that has been surfacing in Florida for far longer than most people realize?

>> Hey folks, welcome to Phantoms and
2:09
Monsters Radio.
2:11
Um
2:12
Florida has long been known as a land of
2:15
extremes.
2:16
Swamps and pine barrens, remote prairie,
2:21
coastline, farmland, dense suburban
2:24
development all exist side by side
2:27
creating a landscape
2:29
where the natural and the unnatural
2:31
often seem to overlap. Now, over the
2:33
years, witnesses from every part of the
2:35
state have described things that do not
2:37
fit any accepted category.
2:40
Now, some reports involve winged
2:42
humanoids, others monstrous canines,
2:45
bizarre upright predators, or strange
2:47
entities glimpsed only for a moment yet
2:49
remembered for a lifetime.
2:52
Now, tonight we're going to examine nine
2:54
such accounts, each one different in
2:56
appearance and circumstance,
2:59
but all carrying that same unmistakable
3:02
mark of the unexplained.
3:05
Now, what makes these cases so
3:07
compelling is that they don't point to
3:10
one simple answer.
3:12
Instead, they suggest a broader pattern
3:14
of anomalies that run through Florida
3:16
itself.
3:18
Now, these are not stories from one town
3:20
or one brief wave of sightings.
3:23
They come from the panhandle, central
3:25
Florida, the Gulf Coast,
3:27
South Florida, and the Keys and beyond.
3:30
Uh some witnesses were children when it
3:32
happened, others were hardened adults
3:34
who believed only in logic and ordinary
3:37
explanations.
3:40
But each of them came away with the same
3:42
conclusion. They saw, heard, or felt
3:45
something they couldn't explain.
3:47
And in many cases, something they have
3:50
never forgotten.
3:52
Florida also occupied a peculiar place
3:54
in the American paranormal map.
3:56
It's famous for skunk ape lore,
3:59
ghost stories, phantom cats, unexplained
4:02
lights, but beneath those
4:04
more familiar legends lie other layer of
4:07
uh
4:08
you know, testimony that is far harder
4:10
to classify.
4:13
Now, these are reports that blur the
4:15
line between cryptid, supernatural
4:17
manifestation, and something perhaps
4:19
even stranger.
4:21
A flying gargoyle near Zephyrhills, a
4:24
giant feline thing that rises upright in
4:27
broad daylight,
4:29
a dark entity in the water that seems to
4:31
move with intent,
4:33
an owl-headed being standing calmly at
4:36
the edge of a woods.
4:38
Each report sounds different, yet
4:40
together they form a body of evidence
4:41
that deserves serious attention.
4:44
So, tonight we're we're not looking at
4:46
folklore in abstract.
4:48
Uh we're looking at first-hand testimony
4:50
from
4:51
people who insist that for a few
4:52
moments, the world stopped behaving the
4:55
way it should.
4:57
Uh these are not polished legends. Uh
5:00
these are fragments of lived experience,
5:03
strange, personal, and deeply
5:04
unsettling.
5:06
And as we move through each account, one
5:08
after another, the bigger question
5:10
begins to emerge. Are these simply
5:13
isolated anomalies or glimpses of a
5:15
hidden reality
5:17
that has been surfacing in Florida for
5:19
far longer than most people realize?
5:24
Now, Florida has produced no shortage of
5:26
strange reports over the years, but
5:28
certain regions seem to generate
5:30
recurring descriptions that are simply
5:32
too specific to ignore.
5:35
Pasco County, including the Zephyrhills
5:37
and Dade City corridor, is one of those
5:40
places. Repeatedly,
5:42
uh witnesses from that area have
5:44
described gargoyle-like winged beings,
5:47
human-shaped forms in flight, and
5:49
encounters that linger in memory long
5:51
after the event itself.
5:54
Now, the following testimony is
5:55
especially notable because it reaches
5:57
back into childhood, long before the
6:00
witness had any framework for what they
6:02
may have seen.
6:04
What stayed with him was not a vague
6:06
impression or dream-like fragment, but
6:08
vivid images of a flying human-like
6:11
figure with flapping wings.
6:13
Something he would only much later
6:15
realize sadly dis- disturbingly
6:19
uh and sounded disturbingly similar to
6:21
other reports in the same area.
6:27
Now, the following account was submitted
6:29
uh recently submitted by a 30-year-old
6:31
man who was born in Brooksville,
6:33
Florida,
6:34
and says he has lived in the area his
6:36
entire life.
6:38
He explained that his Hispanic family
6:40
often attended dance halls and large
6:42
parties in Dade City and Zephyrhills
6:45
when he was a child,
6:47
which was common in those communities.
6:51
On one occasion, which he believes took
6:52
place when he was about six or seven
6:54
years old, he attended what was likely
6:57
uh a quinceañera
6:59
with his uh parents, aunts, uncles,
7:02
younger brothers and cousins, and other
7:04
relatives.
7:05
As the celebration stretched late into
7:08
the night, he and his little brother, an
7:10
older cousin, and other children went
7:11
behind the party to play.
7:14
He emphasized that even though he was
7:16
young at the time, the memory was
7:19
has stayed vivid with him.
7:22
Now, according to the witness, several
7:23
of the children noticed something moving
7:25
through the air.
7:27
He described it as resembling a human
7:29
body in flight, streamlined in the air,
7:32
similar to how Superman is often
7:34
depicted,
7:36
except
7:37
that the figure's arms were not extended
7:39
in flight.
7:40
He also stated that the wings were
7:43
visibly flapping.
7:47
Now, he's very familiar with sandhill
7:48
cranes and their appearance, and he
7:50
firmly rejects that explanation.
7:53
He said he knows exactly what a sandhill
7:55
crane looks and sounds like, and what he
7:57
observed was nothing like that. Instead,
8:00
he recalled something that appeared
8:01
distinctly human in form, and in his
8:04
present-day words, resembled a gargoyle.
8:08
The witness said the figure did not
8:09
appear small, especially from a child's
8:11
perspective.
8:13
The image remained with him for years,
8:15
though he did not know how to interpret
8:17
it.
8:18
Then, roughly five years ago, after
8:19
becoming deeply interested in cryptids
8:21
in America, he came across the YouTube
8:24
segment discussing the so-called
8:26
gargoyle of Zephyrhills.
8:29
And that discovery stunned him.
8:32
He realized that others had reported
8:34
seeing something very similar in the
8:35
same general area.
8:37
Now, while he is not demanding belief,
8:40
and is careful not to assist insist on
8:43
one explanation, he remains adamant that
8:46
what he saw was not fiction, not
8:48
imagination, and not even a bird.
8:51
He still does not know exactly what it
8:53
was, only that it looked very human,
8:56
and has remained unexplained in his mind
8:58
ever since.
9:01
So, what makes the first Pasco County
9:03
account so compelling is not simply the
9:06
image of something winged in flight,
9:08
but the fact that the memory survived
9:10
intact from childhood into adulthood.
9:13
The witness did not build the story from
9:15
folklore.
9:17
He carried the image for years before
9:19
later discovering that others had
9:21
reported a nearly identical
9:23
gargoyle-like being in the same general
9:25
corridor.
9:28
That's where these cases begin to take
9:30
on real weight,
9:32
not as isolated impressions, but as
9:34
fragments of a larger persistent
9:36
pattern.
9:39
And from a possible flying humanoid seen
9:41
in childhood, we move into something
9:43
even more physically imposing.
9:46
Because the next witness did not
9:47
describe a fleeting shape in the sky,
9:51
she and her mother watched a massive
9:53
black feline-like creature rise upright
9:57
in broad daylight and calmly stare them
10:00
down on a rural road in Florida.
10:04
Now, the witness states, "My mother and
10:05
I were driving eastbound on Highway 22
10:08
between Panama City
10:10
and we
10:12
Hitchcok- we Hitchcok, Florida
10:14
sometime between 7:15 and 7:30 in the
10:17
morning on July in July of 2007.
10:22
We had just gone to the bank and we're
10:23
heading back home.
10:25
It was a sunny morning, the windows were
10:27
down and we were just talking as we
10:28
drove.
10:31
We were the only vehicle on that stretch
10:32
of road.
10:33
On both sides, there were several acres
10:36
of open farmland with long lines of pine
10:38
trees further back.
10:40
And [snorts] as we drove, I noticed
10:42
something black moving through the reed
10:43
grass off the roadside.
10:47
At first, I assumed it was a dog because
10:49
I could only make out the hindquarters.
10:52
It was not running. It was simply moving
10:53
through the grass at a steady pace.
10:56
As I slowed the truck, I realized the
10:58
animal was larger than I had first
11:00
thought.
11:01
It was probably about 150 yards away and
11:03
it suddenly jumped into the middle of
11:05
the road.
11:07
Now, at that point
11:09
it was down on all fours and my
11:11
immediate impression was it looked like
11:13
a huge black panther.
11:15
I stopped the truck and both of us just
11:18
stared at it. Then, without warning, the
11:20
creature rose up onto its hind legs.
11:24
It just stood there facing us.
11:26
We were in a Chevy Colorado, so it was
11:28
squarely facing the front of the truck.
11:31
My best estimate was that it stood
11:33
around 9 to 10 ft tall.
11:37
I was shocked and confused. My mother,
11:39
who was sitting in the passenger seat
11:40
and was in her 70s at the time,
11:42
immediately started screaming. She was
11:44
terrified.
11:46
Now, what I saw was not a normal animal.
11:49
It had a large head, though not
11:51
oversized to the rest of its body,
11:52
pointed cat ears, and distinctly feline
11:55
nose.
11:57
Its eyes were greenish-gray and looked
11:59
like a cat's eyes.
12:01
The chest was broad, the arms were long
12:03
and muscular, but not overly bulky.
12:06
And the hands were elongated with pads
12:09
on the inside and huge, razor-like
12:11
claws.
12:12
Its lower body was also cat-like with
12:15
large legs and enormous feet. In fact,
12:18
the feet looked so oversized that at a
12:20
glance, they almost gave the impression
12:23
of having four feet instead of two.
12:26
Its body was covered in thick, shiny
12:27
black hair.
12:29
It also I also noticed a short tail with
12:31
what I looked like a ball or curl on the
12:35
end.
12:37
At no point did it open its mouth. So, I
12:40
never saw its teeth. Even so, I had the
12:43
distinct impression that it was male and
12:45
I remember thinking that if it wanted to
12:47
move fast, it probably could.
12:50
Now, what struck me the most was that it
12:52
did not behave aggressively.
12:55
It simply looked at us almost as though
12:58
it was wondering why we were there.
13:00
There was no charge, no threat display,
13:03
no rush towards the vehicle.
13:05
And after a short time, it turned and
13:07
walked off across the field.
13:10
Now, the strangest part was the way it
13:12
moved on its hind legs. It seemed to
13:15
flow rather than stomp or lumber.
13:19
It eventually disappeared from sight.
13:21
The whole encounter lasted maybe two or
13:23
three minutes.
13:24
Afterward, my mother told me that she
13:26
felt overwhelming fear and believed the
13:29
animal was going to eat her alive.
13:31
I didn't feel that same fear.
13:34
I was more confused than anything else.
13:36
My main thought was wondering why it had
13:39
allowed us to see it so clearly.
13:42
I drove that road many times after that,
13:44
but I never saw it again.
13:46
And I eventually moved away from the
13:48
area.
13:50
Now, that Bay County encounter forces us
13:53
into an uncomfortable category reports
13:55
that investigators hear more often than
13:57
most people realize.
13:59
Cases where a witness first thinks that
14:02
they're looking at a known animal only
14:04
to watch it do something impossible.
14:07
In this instance, a large, black,
14:09
cat-like form
14:11
became something else entirely bec-
14:15
when it stood on its two legs, revealing
14:17
a body structure that didn't fit any
14:19
conventional explanation of wildlife.
14:23
Now, while that creature seemed
14:25
strangely calm and the next account
14:28
carries a forward, dark, emotional
14:31
atmosphere.
14:32
In Manatee County, near the Myakka
14:34
region
14:36
the witness was not only disturbed by
14:38
what he saw near a tree line, he was
14:40
equally shaken by what it did to his
14:42
dogs.
14:44
Animals that were normally fearless, but
14:46
suddenly reduced to trembling panic.
14:50
Now, the witness states, "Let me say
14:52
first and foremost, I'm a man of logic,
14:54
of explanation.
14:56
I never believed in ghosts or strange
14:58
creatures, at least not seriously, but
15:00
something happened the other night that
15:02
left me with a feeling I still cannot
15:04
shake.
15:06
I live in Manatee County, Florida
15:08
in an area between the town between town
15:11
and open country, not far from Myakka
15:13
River State Park.
15:15
Now, we get plenty of normal wildlife
15:17
out here. Foxes, coyotes, raccoons, all
15:20
that is common enough.
15:22
Because there's a lot of wildlife around
15:24
and because many people keep chickens,
15:26
most of us also keep large dogs.
15:30
I have two pit bulls, a 70-lb male and a
15:32
60-lb female. They're fearless dogs.
15:36
They know that this is their property
15:38
and if they hear something outside, they
15:41
let me know immediately.
15:43
And you I mean, usually if I open the
15:45
door, they charge out to run off
15:47
whatever is out there.
15:50
Now, the other night I woke up for no
15:52
reason at all. The first thing I noticed
15:54
was how unnaturally quiet was outside.
15:58
There were no crickets,
16:00
no night sounds, nothing.
16:02
Then, I realized my dogs were not on the
16:04
bed where they normally sleep.
16:08
A moment later, I heard a howl unlike
16:10
anything I've ever heard in my life.
16:12
It went off like a siren and sent a
16:14
chill straight down through me.
16:17
It was deep, almost like a yell, but it
16:19
was definitely animal in in origin.
16:22
I turned on the lights and found both my
16:24
pit bulls huddled in the back of their
16:26
crate trembling.
16:29
I had never seen them act like that
16:31
before.
16:33
They were not alert or aggressive. They
16:34
were terrified.
16:36
That scared me more than the howl did.
16:40
I turned the lights back off, grabbed
16:41
the flashlight, and looked out the back
16:43
window.
16:44
About 200 yards away near the tree line
16:47
behind my property, I saw something
16:49
standing there.
16:51
I couldn't make out every detail because
16:53
it was so dark, but what I saw looked
16:55
like some kind of dog-shaped thing with
16:57
an unusual build.
17:00
The closest comparison I can make is a
17:02
hyena.
17:04
It had a heavy front end and large neck
17:07
with thick fur or a mane and a thinner
17:10
hind with thinner hind legs. Its head
17:13
looked wolf-like with upright ears and a
17:15
large skull.
17:17
What struck me most was its size. It was
17:19
huge.
17:21
Its body looked so black that it almost
17:23
swallowed the light making it hard to
17:25
pick out clear features, but I could
17:28
still see enough to know
17:31
that it was nothing like a coyote or
17:33
stray dog or even a normal animal that
17:36
I'd ever seen.
17:38
The whole scene just felt wrong. Its
17:40
presence seemed to press down on
17:42
everything around it.
17:43
The silence, the fear of my dogs, and
17:45
the way the woods seemed dead around it,
17:47
all of it felt connected.
17:52
So, the next morning, I went out to the
17:53
spot where I'd seen it. I looked for
17:55
tracks, hair, anything at all, but I
17:57
found nothing. Still, I know what I saw.
18:01
And I have never seen anything like it
18:02
before.
18:04
I have to ask if anyone else in Florida
18:06
has seen anything like this.
18:08
There have been a lot of dead dogs in
18:10
the area lately,
18:11
including large dogs killed by
18:13
something.
18:15
Other people say it's coyotes or maybe
18:17
feral dogs, but for what I saw, I'm not
18:19
convinced.
18:20
The fear of my dogs told me this is no
18:23
ordinary animal and that what still
18:25
bothers me the most.
18:29
Now, that detail matters. Again and
18:31
again
18:32
in incredible incredible cryptid reports
18:36
animals react before people fully
18:38
understand what's happening.
18:42
Dogs refuse to engage, woods fall
18:44
silent, the environment seems to flatten
18:45
under an unnatural presence.
18:48
In this case, the witness was left with
18:50
the impression of something canine
18:52
immense, heavily built
18:55
and deeply wrong.
18:56
Not merely a predator, but a presence.
19:01
Now, from that dark tree line in inland
19:02
Florida, we now shift to the water.
19:05
Because not every unexplained encounter
19:07
comes with a clear silhouette or visible
19:09
anatomy.
19:11
Sometimes, the horror lies in the touch
19:13
alone.
19:15
The next witness in Key West never got a
19:18
clean look at what surrounded and
19:19
grabbed her in the surf, but the
19:21
physical sensation and lingering
19:23
psychology
19:24
pull never psychological pull never left
19:27
her.
19:29
She tells me, "I had an experience in
19:31
Key West at the southernmost point near
19:33
the monument that I have never been able
19:36
to explain.
19:38
It was just before dusk, that uneasy
19:40
time of evening when water darkens, the
19:43
ocean seems to change character.
19:47
I was about 20 yards from shore and
19:49
and
19:50
all at once, I became aware of how empty
19:53
the beach had become.
19:55
A few people were still around, but my
19:57
small group of friends who had been
19:58
drying off and getting ready for the
20:00
ride home were already packing up.
20:04
Then a wave of intense awareness came
20:07
over me. I suddenly felt the vastness of
20:10
the ocean around me and realized almost
20:13
all at once just how far from shore I
20:15
had drifted.
20:17
The tide had risen near to my chin. I
20:20
felt cold.
20:22
Uh currents moving across my body and it
20:24
gave me a strange eerie sensation that I
20:26
quickly scanned the water around me.
20:30
That is when I saw an enormous dark
20:32
patch moving towards me.
20:34
Terrified,
20:36
I started back towards the beach
20:37
immediately.
20:39
I kept watching that dark mass trying to
20:41
understand what I was seeing.
20:44
At first I thought it was seaweed, but
20:45
the longer I looked the more it seemed
20:47
like to be following me.
20:51
By then the water was at my chest and
20:52
the tide was pushing me towards shore.
20:56
What I had seen was drifting cloud of
20:58
seaweed was now surrounding me.
21:00
I did not want to scream or panic. Then
21:03
I felt it.
21:04
A cold hand
21:06
closing around my calf.
21:10
I called out to my two friends on the
21:11
beach who were still some distance away
21:13
and tried to tell them what something
21:15
was grabbing my leg.
21:17
They laughed and taunted me telling me I
21:19
had better swim faster.
21:21
My heart was pounding so violently that
21:23
I did not dare yell any louder.
21:26
I honestly believe that if I panicked,
21:28
whatever had a hold of me would drag me
21:30
under.
21:32
As I kept my eyes on the beach, I
21:33
glanced down every few seconds trying to
21:35
make out the shape some type of shape or
21:38
whatever was beneath me.
21:40
I could not see its color or texture. I
21:43
could only feel the size of its hands
21:44
and its deliberate way it held me.
21:46
Strangely, the grip seemed to loosen
21:49
whenever I tensed up.
21:52
At last I made it into shallow water
21:54
about a waist deep and it began jumping
21:56
hard until it finally let go.
22:00
When I stumbled out of the water, I
22:01
turned and saw that a large cloud of
22:04
seaweed was moving quickly back into
22:07
deeper water.
22:08
Now what struck me most was that I was
22:11
moving against the tide even while
22:13
driftwood and other debris were washing
22:15
on towards shore.
22:18
Now years later I told my twin brother
22:20
about what had happened and to my
22:22
surprise he told me he had an experience
22:25
similar something very similar on a
22:27
remote beach in Miami.
22:29
And in his case he thought the thing had
22:32
grabbed his thigh that grabbed his thigh
22:35
felt like a dead man with extremely
22:36
large hands.
22:38
He also described it happening in the
22:40
evening with seaweed appearing out of
22:42
nowhere.
22:43
I was stunned at how closely his details
22:45
match my my own experience.
22:48
His girlfriend was there and later
22:49
confirmed what he had reported.
22:52
Since then I have taken three cruises
22:55
and every time I stare into the ocean, I
22:57
feel something I can't fully explain.
23:01
I get a strange sensation and I hear
23:03
what sounds like distant blue whales
23:06
calling just loud enough to catch my
23:08
attention.
23:10
Then a peaceful feeling comes over me
23:12
almost like an invitation
23:14
making me want to jump overboard and go
23:16
into the depths.
23:19
I have never acted on it, but the pull
23:21
is there whenever I look down into the
23:24
open water.
23:28
Now the ocean has always been one of the
23:30
most difficult theaters anomaly
23:32
investigation.
23:33
Light distortions, current movements,
23:35
and the depth all work against
23:37
certainty.
23:39
Yet some of the most chilling testimony
23:41
comes from witnesses who insist they
23:43
felt intelligent deliberate contact from
23:45
something beneath the surface.
23:47
And in this case,
23:49
what makes the experience more
23:50
disturbing is not the grip on her leg,
23:53
but the later confirmation that her twin
23:55
brother described a remarkably similar
23:57
encounter elsewhere in Florida.
24:01
We now return from the shoreline to the
24:03
panhandle where the next witness
24:05
described an encounter that sounds less
24:07
like an unexplained animal sighting and
24:09
more like an outright supernatural
24:11
assault.
24:12
A gigantic black canine pursuit vehicle
24:16
leapt onto the car and then vanished
24:18
into a cemetery leaving behind questions
24:21
what remain unresolved to this day.
24:25
The witness states, "Hi Line, I have
24:27
been interested in your post about
24:29
hellhounds and crawlers.
24:31
I decided to send you an event that
24:33
happened to me.
24:34
This is around 2015, not sure which
24:37
month, but it was around 11:00 p.m.
24:40
I was driving from my dad's place to my
24:42
mom's. My dad owns a 75 acres of spooky
24:45
property.
24:46
We live in the Florida panhandle.
24:48
Anyway, I was driving. I just started
24:51
down a long driveway when I felt like I
24:53
was being watched.
24:55
Not cool, but it happens more often than
24:57
you would believe.
24:59
I'm nearing the highway when I see a
25:01
dark shape at the edge of the woods.
25:04
Oh well, probably a deer. I shake it
25:07
off.
25:08
We have tons of wildlife in the area
25:09
from deer to panthers to occasional
25:11
bears.
25:13
But then it starts chasing me.
25:16
Now please keep in mind that this is
25:18
somewhat normal to me. I have tons of
25:20
weird stuff that happens and it's not
25:22
like it was just barreling at me. It was
25:24
moving after my car staying at the edge
25:27
of the woods.
25:29
So I kept my pace. I learn I turned onto
25:32
the highway and speed up to about 50
25:34
mph.
25:36
I keep noticing something in my
25:38
peripheral though and so I slowed down
25:40
and started looking for what it could
25:42
be.
25:43
A few yards behind me I see this huge
25:46
dog.
25:48
Now I grew up with large dogs. My aunt
25:50
had a St. Bernard mix and I've had
25:52
various large dogs.
25:54
This thing was literally size my car.
25:57
Bears don't chase cars.
25:59
And we only have black bears which are
26:01
like most docile the docile kind.
26:04
Okay, now I'm freaking out. I gun it.
26:06
I'm releasing a long stream of curses
26:08
and telling my car to get over it.
26:11
It was a poorly kept '95 Honda Accord.
26:15
I couldn't seem to shake it for long. So
26:18
in an act of bravery or stupidity, I
26:20
pull over to a church parking lot
26:22
thinking maybe
26:24
some sort of hell beast and it won't
26:25
come into the light of or onto church
26:28
land. Well,
26:30
was I ever wrong.
26:32
I stopped and take out my phone to call
26:34
my boyfriend.
26:36
In [snorts] that period it catches up
26:37
and jumps onto my car.
26:40
I can see feel and hear and hear the
26:43
metal popping and creaking
26:45
and I see drool splatter onto my
26:46
windshield.
26:48
I scream dropping my phone.
26:51
It jumps off my car onto the hood where
26:53
I get a glimpse of it before it goes
26:55
into the cemetery and disappears.
26:58
It was a gated cemetery so it jumps the
27:00
fence.
27:02
It was definitely a dog built like a
27:04
Rottweiler pitbull mix but darker and
27:07
larger. It was solid black with paws the
27:10
size of dinner plates.
27:12
Had a huge head almost the size of my
27:14
car windows.
27:17
I don't know why it decided to to leave
27:19
me alone, but it did and I'm so
27:21
thankful.
27:22
Now I call my boyfriend crying. He
27:25
calmed me down, listened, and told me to
27:27
take pictures when I get home.
27:29
And I did. Or I tried at least.
27:32
By the time I got to my mom's, the only
27:34
thing left was a single dent in the roof
27:36
of my car
27:37
and some faint claw marks that were more
27:39
like an indentations in the metal.
27:43
Why did the damage disappear? Well,
27:45
that's a good question. I have no idea.
27:50
That is where the Florida canine mystery
27:52
begins to move beyond simple
27:54
cryptozoology and into something far
27:57
stranger.
28:00
The witness was not describing a glimpse
28:02
at a distance. She heard the metal
28:04
strain,
28:06
saw the drool left in the
28:08
felt the weight of the vehicle and then
28:09
later found that most of the apparent
28:11
damage had somehow faded or disappeared.
28:15
Reports are
28:17
reports like that are why old hellhound
28:20
tradition refuses to go away. Now
28:23
you know, some witnesses are convinced
28:24
that these are not merely unknown
28:26
animals,
28:27
but something
28:28
supernatural crossing briefly into view.
28:33
And yet Florida also gives us encounters
28:36
that refuse to stay in a single
28:37
category.
28:39
Now the next report out of Polk County
28:41
does not describe a canine, a cat, or
28:43
even a standard wing being or humanoid.
28:47
Instead,
28:48
the witness described stood I mean the
28:51
witness stood face to face with
28:52
something that seemed combine to combine
28:55
the head of a great owl
28:57
with the upright form and presence of a
28:59
cloaked being.
29:04
Now the witness tells me,
29:06
>> [snorts]
29:07
>> "It was afternoon in late May in the
29:08
year 2021.
29:10
I remember it was later in the afternoon
29:12
early evening, but it was slightly
29:14
overcast gray day so I can't tell you
29:16
from memory
29:18
whether it was dusk or earlier.
29:20
I live near a nature cons- conservation
29:23
area in Central Florida.
29:25
My husband and I are very fortunate to
29:27
find our property. Ample acreage heavily
29:29
wooded to the point where we could not
29:32
see our neighbors or any lights from
29:33
their homes.
29:35
We lovingly call our home the swamp.
29:39
Now I was outside in our driveway which
29:41
is only cleared space on our land um
29:44
save for a a circular clearing in our
29:47
woods.
29:48
I was walking back to our porch when for
29:52
some reason I was compelled to look turn
29:54
and look back at the tree line, which is
29:56
around 80 to 100 ft from the house.
30:02
Now, I do want to note that there was
30:03
not a single ounce of fear in me. In
30:05
fact, I was quite calm when I made eye
30:08
contact with it.
30:10
At first, it didn't register what I was
30:12
looking at.
30:13
I knew it was an owl, which for my woods
30:16
is not an uncommon sight, but when I it
30:19
first
30:20
but then it kind of shifted
30:23
and I saw more of it.
30:25
It was not just an owl. It was a head of
30:28
an owl on what I can only describe as
30:30
the shoulders of a human.
30:33
And it looked like it was wearing a dark
30:34
cloak,
30:36
either made of dark foliage or feathers.
30:39
It was tall and from the trees around
30:41
it, I guess around 7 ft or so.
30:44
It just looked at me and looked and I
30:46
looked at it.
30:48
I looked around and blinked, sincerely
30:50
thinking it was a trick of lighting
30:53
or my mind created a thing
30:56
where there was nothing. But no, when I
30:57
looked back, it was still there, calm
30:59
and unmoving.
31:03
I was still unafraid, which is not
31:05
normal for me as I can freak myself out
31:07
easily.
31:08
And for some reason, I felt another
31:10
urge, this time to nod.
31:13
I nodded towards it, acknowledging it.
31:16
It felt natural and right to do so,
31:19
then turned and went into my home.
31:22
I did not go back outside that day, but
31:24
the next morning I went back outside and
31:27
stood at the same place on my porch to
31:29
look at what it may have been.
31:32
And there was nothing. I I couldn't even
31:34
remotely try to place it as it, you
31:36
know, the the space where it stood was
31:40
between two trees at the opening of the
31:41
forest line leading back into a small
31:43
clearing.
31:46
There was no laying
31:47
uh low-hanging branches, no large
31:49
leaves, no anything that I could trick
31:51
myself into believing in what it
31:53
actually had seen.
31:55
And I haven't seen it since.
31:58
Now, I did some light searching online
32:00
but found nothing even remotely close,
32:02
so I let it go
32:05
until today when I heard that story
32:07
about an hour ago.
32:08
Does someone know what this might be?
32:12
Has anyone else in Central Florida or
32:14
anywhere else seen anything like this?
32:18
Now, the witness later added that there
32:20
has been a couple of times when in my
32:22
car there have been remnants of what I
32:24
could describe as
32:26
guts
32:27
when I've been parked under a tree in
32:29
instead of the carport.
32:31
I've always chalked it up to a large
32:33
bird, hawk, or owl,
32:35
which is still the most probable, still
32:37
gives me shivers.
32:39
I you know, I contacted the witness to
32:41
gather more information. This encounter
32:43
occurred in the Green Swamp Preserve in
32:45
Polk County.
32:47
Uh there have been a lot of unexplained
32:49
accounts of winged humanoid beings in
32:51
that region, notably Gargoyle Lake
32:54
flying beings.
32:56
The uh the natural owl species known to
32:59
inhabit the area do not match the
33:01
account's description.
33:03
The largest is a great horned owl.
33:10
Now, this is one of those reports that
33:11
resist reduction because the witness was
33:13
neither panicked nor confused in the
33:15
moment.
33:17
She remained calm, made eye contact, and
33:19
even felt compelled to acknowledge the
33:20
being with a nod.
33:24
That is a very different emotional
33:25
profile from most fear-based encounters
33:28
and it raises the question that surfaces
33:29
in many humanoid cases.
33:31
Are some of these manifestations hostile
33:34
while others are merely observant,
33:35
territorial, even interactive in a way
33:38
we just don't understand yet?
33:41
Now, from a tall owl-headed figure in
33:43
the Green Swamp region, we now move to a
33:45
smaller but equally baffling sighting
33:48
near Jacksonville.
33:50
Because not every witness described
33:52
something monstrous in size. Sometimes
33:54
the anomaly lies in the proportion
33:57
itself.
33:58
The next observer believed she saw what
34:01
looked like a tiny monkey-like creature
34:03
on the road only for huge wings to
34:06
suddenly disappear.
34:08
>> [snorts]
34:09
>> The witness tells me, "This is going to
34:11
sound totally unbelievable, but I swear
34:13
I saw something like a flying monkey
34:15
last night.
34:16
>> [sighs]
34:17
>> I was driving on a neighborhood street
34:20
which when it the strange animal was on
34:22
the road.
34:24
I could see its head and it looked like
34:26
a monkey to me, but it was small like
34:28
the size of a prairie dog or gopher.
34:32
I kept saying, 'What is that?'
34:34
I drove around it
34:36
as it would not move, possibly dazed by
34:38
the headlights.
34:40
Our friend thought it was a possum until
34:42
he [snorts] we passed it and we both
34:45
said,
34:46
'That wasn't a possum.'
34:48
I quickly turned around and all I saw
34:49
were huge wings, way too big for that
34:52
animal flying away.
34:54
Now, obviously,
34:55
I said it it had to [clears throat] be
34:57
an owl or whatever it was.
35:01
Uh it just got snatched up by a giant
35:03
owl.
35:04
The problem is that this thing had a
35:05
head and a neck, was standing on two
35:07
feet, leaned forward and stared right at
35:10
the car and didn't move.
35:13
I'm so confused as to what I saw even
35:15
though I was so close to it.
35:18
I mean, I see owls all the time, big
35:19
ones.
35:21
I know what they look like. That thing
35:23
on the road, if it was an owl, it was a
35:25
mutant owl.
35:27
Even if I admit it was probably an owl,
35:29
its wings were still far too big for its
35:31
size.
35:32
I have no idea what I saw, but I swear
35:35
it looked like a small monkey.
35:38
Now, I live in Florida, although I live
35:40
near Jacksonville, Northeast Florida.
35:42
There was a Walmart in South Florida
35:44
where monkeys lived in a parking lot
35:46
because the owners let them escape.
35:49
It's possible it was a tiny monkey that
35:51
escaped, although ex- extremely
35:54
unlikely, but wings?
35:56
The whole thing was confusing.
36:00
Now, I'll be honest with you, I never
36:01
did like those damn flying monkeys in in
36:04
The Wizard of Oz. Um
36:06
they used to freak me out as a kid, so
36:09
folks, what did that reader witness?
36:14
Now, that account may sound almost
36:16
absurd at first hearing, but that's
36:19
often the nature of genuine witness
36:21
testimony.
36:22
People just describe exactly what they
36:25
think they saw even though it sounds
36:26
impossible.
36:28
A small primate-like form, bipedal
36:31
posture, oversized wing, and total lack
36:33
of fit with any normal owl, possum, or
36:36
escaped pet.
36:38
These are the kind of reports that often
36:40
get distorted too quickly, and not
36:42
because they lack sincerity, but because
36:44
they just don't fit neatly into a
36:46
category.
36:48
Now, this next case takes us into the
36:50
populated area of Boca
36:52
Boca Raton,
36:54
where the witness repeatedly observed a
36:56
tall gray figure emerging from the tree
36:58
line at the same time over three
37:00
consecutive evenings.
37:03
Its movement was not human, not animal,
37:05
and not easily compared to anything
37:06
familiar, which is precisely what makes
37:09
it so unsettling.
37:13
So, the witness tells me, "During August
37:15
14th, 15th, and 16th of 2017 in Boca
37:18
Raton, Florida,
37:19
I saw something reminiscent of a Slender
37:22
Man.
37:23
Obviously, the Slender Man is a creepy
37:25
pasta, but it isn't Slender Man.
37:28
There's a farm behind my house separated
37:30
by a canal.
37:32
The farm stretches maybe about 1,000 ft
37:34
back before it hits the tree line.
37:37
Now, a couple weeks ago I was eating
37:39
dinner and staring out at the farm.
37:41
I was maybe 20 minutes until nightfall.
37:45
I saw what looked like a really tall
37:48
gray version of Gumby
37:51
walk out of the tree line,
37:54
take two really large lunges, and
37:57
disappear back into the tree line.
38:00
It was much too tall to be a person.
38:05
It was flat,
38:07
but its legs bent in a way that looked
38:08
like a plank bending,
38:12
like how a piece of wood bows when the
38:14
weight is applied, but springs back when
38:16
the weight's removed.
38:18
Its body, as far as I could see, was
38:20
rigid.
38:21
It didn't look flexible aside from the
38:23
legs, and the limbs were fairly wide.
38:27
The next night at the same time, the
38:28
same exact thing happened except my
38:30
parents were with me.
38:32
It walked on two legs, but it was more
38:35
it more like lunges or sharping sharp
38:38
arching steps than a human walking.
38:41
I asked them what they saw if they saw
38:43
that, and they said, "Saw what?"
38:46
Then it happened again the third night.
38:49
So, either my body's giving me random
38:51
hallucinations in sync with my body's
38:53
time clock, or there's something weird
38:55
or some type of weird slender Gumby man
38:58
thing living on the farm behind our
39:00
house.
39:03
I haven't been home much recently, so I
39:04
haven't been able to look for it again,
39:07
but if I am,
39:09
I I you know, I
39:10
I haven't seen whatever it was since
39:12
those three times, and
39:15
couldn't get a photo of it because it
39:16
was so far away.
39:19
Its movements and stride were
39:21
consistently the same all three days,
39:23
and it happened at the same time each
39:25
night.
39:27
I've yet to venture to the farm to look
39:28
at the area that I saw,
39:31
but when I do, I'll take photos of
39:33
anything that looks interesting or out
39:35
of the ordinary.
39:36
This was in the middle of a very
39:38
populated city, so seeing something that
39:40
outlandish in a human heavy area, was
39:44
quite strange.
39:46
Now, look, I I heard back from the
39:47
witness about a year ago.
39:50
And
39:51
they have not seen this thing since the
39:53
original sighting, so I don't know what
39:54
it was.
39:57
Now, repetition is one of the strongest
39:59
features in anomalous testimony. One odd
40:02
glance can be dismissed.
40:04
Three appearances at the same time with
40:06
the same movement pattern begins to
40:08
suggest something structured rather than
40:10
random.
40:12
Now, in this book of Raton case, the
40:14
witness described a tall, rigid form
40:16
moving in a long, bending strides,
40:18
almost like a living board or
40:19
articulated figure.
40:23
It was not just strange in appearance.
40:24
It moved according to a body logic that
40:27
didn't just seem natural.
40:31
Now, this brings us to the final
40:32
account.
40:33
One of the most disturbing in the
40:35
collection.
40:36
Kissimmee Prairie Preserve and later
40:39
near West Palm Beach, the witness not
40:41
only encountered
40:43
a dark-winged humanoid multiple times,
40:45
but also bore physical markings
40:47
afterwards,
40:48
including a tar-like substance on their
40:51
face and in her hair.
40:56
So, the witness says,
40:57
"In 2017, I had an encounter here in
41:00
Florida, the darkest point of our state
41:02
for stargazing and seeing the Milky Way.
41:06
I heard a scary, loud, war-like screech,
41:09
unlike anything I've ever heard. It felt
41:11
something brush up against me.
41:15
I ran into my car
41:17
and locked the door. It was pitch black.
41:19
My boyfriend and I drove away in a
41:21
panic, and when we went to recover
41:24
at a nearby gas station, he said,
41:27
'What's on your face and hair?'
41:31
Now, it was a tar-like black substance
41:34
that seemed to have been scratched
41:36
across my face and into my hair.
41:39
It was so hard to get off. I had to
41:41
scrape it off my face with my
41:43
fingernails.
41:44
The area in my hair that had had just
41:46
had to be cut off.
41:48
Within the same month, I saw it again a
41:50
few times. It always occurred when I was
41:53
around this boyfriend.
41:55
It would always come from behind me. I
41:57
truly think it was warning me about my
41:59
boyfriend.
42:01
Now, once I broke up with this guy, I
42:03
never it never came back around me
42:05
again, and it hasn't since.
42:07
Now, I have heard of the Mothman. And
42:10
when I explained the series of
42:11
encounters to my brother, he asked me to
42:13
draw it.
42:14
And when I showed him the drawing, he
42:16
freaked out and started Googling Mothman
42:18
to show it to me.
42:20
I was blown away. It matched my drawing
42:22
almost to a T.
42:24
Has anyone else ever been marked?
42:28
Well, I asked the witness to call me for
42:30
a more for more details about this
42:32
encounter.
42:33
The initial incident occurred at Kiss
42:36
uh Kissimmee
42:38
uh Prairie Reserve State Park in
42:40
Okeechobee County, Florida,
42:43
on October 18th, 2017.
42:45
Now, at that time,
42:48
the witness only noticed a large, dark
42:50
mass with reddish-orange lights or eyes.
42:55
Now, she could not make out much detail,
42:57
but was stunned when it brushed against
42:59
her.
43:00
She stated that the substance was a
43:02
tar-like and sticky, but with no odor.
43:05
She literally had to scrape it off her
43:07
face with her fingernails.
43:10
She tried to wash it out of her hair,
43:11
but eventually had to cut it out.
43:14
Too bad, because she didn't keep the
43:15
sample of the substance.
43:18
Now, the other three encounters occurred
43:20
within a month's time. Each incident
43:22
happened in the vicinity of her home in
43:25
West Palm Beach, Florida, approximately
43:26
100 mi southeast of the original
43:29
encounter location.
43:32
She got a better look at this winged
43:33
humanoid, which she described as 6 to 6
43:35
and 1/2 ft tall and black.
43:38
The body was somewhat thin, with arms
43:40
and legs that were not attached to the
43:42
wings.
43:43
The hands had long, thin fingers with
43:46
claw-like nails.
43:48
The legs and feet seemed to be fused
43:49
together, though it was enough foot with
43:51
in order to stand.
43:53
The head was small, with what looked
43:55
like hair-like stubble and large, oval,
43:57
reddish-orange eyes.
44:01
There were no other discernible features
44:02
on the face that she could make out. The
44:04
wings were long and draped over and away
44:07
from the body.
44:08
It reminded her of a cape-like membrane
44:11
that extended to the ground.
44:14
Now, she never actually saw it use its
44:16
wings, and it seemed to descend
44:18
smoothly.
44:19
It would always appear behind her,
44:22
scaring her and her boyfriend each time.
44:25
And when it descended, it did so
44:27
quickly, making a roaring screech.
44:30
And she believes that this winged
44:32
humanoid was somehow warning her of
44:33
potential danger involving her
44:35
boyfriend.
44:36
After they broke up, the winged being
44:38
never returned.
44:41
Now, this last case pulls together
44:42
several of the recurring
44:44
elements that we've heard throughout
44:45
Florida.
44:46
Sudden appearance,
44:48
red or reddish-orange eyes, a sense of
44:50
targeted proximity,
44:53
uh repeated encounters over time, and in
44:55
this instance, possible physical trace
44:58
evidence, however fleeting.
45:01
Whether one interprets the entity as a
45:04
warning presence, a predatory
45:06
intelligence, or something altogether
45:08
outside conventional categories,
45:10
the witness was left convinced that this
45:12
being's appearance
45:14
uh appearances were connected to a
45:16
dangerous chapter in her life.
45:19
Now, taken together, these Florida
45:20
reports do not point to a single
45:22
creature type or one tidy explanation.
45:26
It suggests a region rich in recurring
45:28
anomalies, where winged humanoids,
45:30
phantom canines, upright felines, and
45:33
strange aquatic entities, and impossible
45:35
forms continue to surface in witness
45:37
testimony.
45:40
That is what makes Florida such an
45:41
important landscape in this larger
45:43
unexplained phenomena.
45:45
It does not offer one mystery. It offers
45:47
many, and some of them may be connected.
45:51
Now, after hearing these nine
45:53
encounters, it becomes difficult to
45:54
dismiss Florida as something or simply
45:57
another regional hotspot for odd
45:58
stories.
46:00
What emerges instead is a portrait of a
46:01
state alive with recurring anomalies.
46:05
Winged humanoids appeared
46:07
in more than one form
46:09
and in more than one location.
46:12
Massive canines and impossible predators
46:14
are reported in water corridors and
46:15
roadside encounters.
46:17
Unseen aquatic presences leave witnesses
46:20
shaken long after they leave the water.
46:23
And perhaps most unsettling of all,
46:24
several of these reports carry an
46:26
emotional or physical weight that goes
46:29
beyond mere sighting testimony.
46:32
Fear in animals, lingering marks,
46:34
repeated appearances, and the sense of
46:36
being deliberately observed all suggest
46:38
that some of these encounters
46:40
may involve more than an unknown animal
46:42
identified in bad light.
46:45
That's where a careful investigation
46:46
becomes so important.
46:49
The goal is not to force every encounter
46:51
into a single theory, nor to
46:52
sensationalize what we do not yet
46:55
understand.
46:57
The goal is to listen, compare,
46:58
document, and identify recurring details
47:01
that surface across time and geography.
47:04
Florida offers an extraordinary range of
47:07
territory or terrain and witness
47:09
backgrounds. Yet, certain patterns
47:11
continue to repeat.
47:13
Human humanoid forms, predatory
47:15
intelligence, silence in the
47:17
environment, deep unease, physical
47:19
proximity. These are markers that
47:23
deserve attention,
47:25
especially when they arise in testimony
47:27
from people who had nothing to gain from
47:28
coming forward.
47:30
And perhaps that's the real takeaway
47:32
from tonight's program.
47:34
The unexplained in Florida does not seem
47:35
limited to one creature type, belief
47:38
system, or region.
47:40
It appears as a spectrum, one in which
47:42
creature reports, paranormal
47:43
manifestation, and possibly
47:45
ultraterrestrial phenomena may overlap
47:48
in ways that we simply don't fully
47:50
grasp.
47:53
Some of these witnesses may have
47:54
encountered flesh-and-blood anomalies.
47:56
Others may have crossed paths with
47:58
something more elusive, more
47:59
intelligent, and less easily defined.
48:03
Whatever the truth may be, these
48:05
experiences remain part of a larger
48:06
mystery that continues to unfold in the
48:09
shadows of one of Ameri- America's
48:11
strangest states.
48:13
For those of us who spent time studying
48:15
these reports, the lesson's clear.
48:18
We have to keep watching the patterns,
48:20
keep speaking with witnesses, and keep
48:22
comparing cases that at first seem
48:24
unrelated.
48:26
Because sometimes the strongest evidence
48:28
does not come from one dramatic event.
48:32
It comes from the slow accumulation of
48:34
testimony, detail by detail, until
48:37
pattern becomes impossible to ignore.
48:40
Florida may be offering exactly that
48:43
type of pattern. And if so,
48:46
then we have covered tonight is not
48:48
the end of the story.
48:50
It may only be the beginning.
48:53
Now, if you have experienced anything
48:55
like this or had an unexplained
48:56
encounter or sighting, you can send your
48:58
report to me at Phantoms and Monsters.
49:00
And as always, thanks for listening.
49:04
So, let's start the questions and
49:06
answers, and and type your questions in
49:08
all caps, too, please.
49:27
Okay, I see
49:29
uh race fan. Um I don't know if it has a
49:32
name. I'm not that far from Mount St.
49:35
Helens. What
49:36
I don't know what that was.
49:44
Blue Cruise, do you get a large amount
49:45
of various crypto reports from the Ocala
49:47
National Forest? Yeah, I have in the
49:49
past. Um,
49:50
mostly Bigfoot-like creatures, but we
49:52
had a lot of winged anomalies, too.
49:55
Um, I used to um, there was a woman who
49:57
used to live right on the edges of the
50:00
the park. She had a home there and um,
50:03
she used to tell me about a lot of weird
50:05
anomalies.
50:06
She had a lot of um,
50:10
that's Marion County, I think.
50:12
Sh- uh, she had a lot of strange
50:14
sightings of
50:16
unknown beings as well as some type of
50:19
possibly could have been
50:21
uh,
50:22
Glimmer Man sightings.
50:24
>> [sighs and gasps]
50:25
>> But Ocala is one of the one of the
50:27
strangest places in the state and a
50:28
place in a state that's got a lot of
50:30
strange places.
50:33
>> [snorts]
50:39
>> Uh, Dag Nammit, near the Falkland
50:41
Islands is some mysterious black goo was
50:43
found floating in the ocean. Taken to
50:45
get researched, as scientists analyze
50:47
the substance were dying from suicide.
50:50
Yeah, I never heard that account before.
50:52
If you have a link, send it to me.
50:57
Can't Squatch, do you get many giant owl
51:00
reports?
51:01
>> [sighs]
51:02
[gasps]
51:02
>> Yeah, I do. Um,
51:04
but it's a nationwide thing. It's just
51:06
not concentrated in Florida, but I do
51:08
get a lot of them. I got a lot of them
51:09
here in Pennsylvania, as well.
51:11
But um,
51:12
you know what I think I'm going to do
51:13
and I that's if
51:16
I get some good feedback on it, just
51:18
concentrate on a few states every once
51:19
in a while
51:21
where I get a lot of weird, you know,
51:22
sightings. So, uh, if that's what you
51:24
want me to do, I can do that, but uh,
51:26
that's up to you all.
51:30
Jose Sanchez, when was the most recent
51:32
Skunk Ape sighting in Florida? Uh, I
51:34
don't know. I mean, the
51:35
most recent one I got was about a year
51:37
ago.
51:38
Uh, it was near Myakka,
51:41
which is, you know, outside of
51:43
Clearwater or Tampa area, just east of
51:45
it. Um,
51:47
but there's a lot there's a lot going on
51:48
there.
51:53
Can't Squatch, do you get many reports
51:54
from Myakka State Park? Yeah. There's a
51:56
lot of people that that see a lot of
51:58
different types of beings. Of course,
52:02
there have been times and I've seen
52:04
footage of these
52:06
these Skunk Apes that literally in
52:08
groups run through the fields and stuff
52:10
during the day the daylight.
52:13
Um,
52:14
and and they're not they're not AI,
52:16
they're not CG. I mean, they're they're
52:19
real images and they're like sometimes
52:21
there's multiple sight I mean, multiple
52:23
witnesses at the same time seeing and
52:25
commenting
52:27
on the on the sightings.
52:38
Anything else?
52:47
Okay, folks. Well, I'm going to thank
52:48
you for
52:49
for coming in here tonight and um, as
52:52
always,
52:53
stay aware, stay safe and as always,
52:55
just keep looking into the unexplained.
52:58
Uh, have a nice evening, have a great
52:59
weekend, enjoy your Easter holiday and
53:02
I'll see you next week. Good night.

#Occult & Paranormal
