BFRO #15329: Man describes his father's sighting near Lakeland

📍 Location

📝 Description

It was 2:35 in the morning on July 26, 2006. I recieved a call from my dad which alone is very unusual to say the least. He started by saying "you are not going to believe what i just saw". He said he steped out onto his porch(which wraps around his house) to sit in his chair and have a smoke. He got about half way through with it when he said he heard the most terrifying sound ever. He stepped in the door and grabbed a MAG light to take a look and when he did he saw a sillouette of a bipedal creature approx 8 foot tall and 75 yards away stand up near the pond and quickly run towards the neibors house which is to the right and behind him. At this point my dad is completely freaked out. He hears the loud moan again 3 more times each time getting softer in the distance. He then wakes my mother (who thinks he just lost his marbles) and she comes outside with him. She also hears the moan and a gun shot approx the same distance away but at this point it is an estimatted 1 mile away. This is when he calls me and describes what happened. I get in my truck and go overe to their house to take a look around with him. Whatever it was is long gone by the time i get there and we just look around to put both my mom and dad somewhat at ease. The reason i am writing this instead of my dad is 1) he dont t know how to use a computer and 2) i felt a report needed to be made and i doubt he would ever do it. I can tell you that i have never seen or heard my dad so scared in my life.

🔍 Circumstances

My mother heard the last of the howls and a gunshot which sounded like it was from the same general direction.
