The Everglades

too many mosquitoes and not enough DEET.
but continue please

1st one
>Walking a trail near alligator Alley
>Was going through a period of legal uncertainty at that time, so I would spend a large amount of my time in the Glades hiding from any law enforcement.
>Get to a fork in the road and decide to rest for a bit, drink some water and eat some sunflower kernels.
>All of a sudden I hear a child's giggle , sounds like it's 2 feet behind me
>Freak out and look back, it's fucking nothing
> When I turn back around I see a person's back further up the trail, which is weird because no one had passed me, and I hadn't encountered anyone at all that day.
>Yell hello!?
>It turns around and to my horror, it was just a faceless figure
>After it turns around it starts walking towards me
>Freak out but decide not to run, just can't walk away, maybe the weeds getting to me
>As I gather my stuff and walk away I look back and notice it's much closer
>Can see it clearer, it's not faceless, just wearing a white spandex suit, think GreenMan from sunny in Philly
>Start freaking out and running now
>Look back
>It's still walking but it is now even closer
>Turn around and black out
>Woke up to a Florida Wildlife officer checking my vitals
>I was about 5 feet away from the trail dangerously close to a canal where Alligators are known for sun bathing
>Explain to him what happened,
>He looks at me crazy, but I could tell he didn't doubt my story
>He checks up on me in the system and I get arrested because of the warrant I had out at the time.
>On my way to Collier county jail, he tells me he has seen the pale man before also.
>When I asked him if he knew what it was he stayed silent.

2nd one
>A few years later
>different trails near the same location on Alligator alley
>With my girlfriend at the time, were about 8 miles deep near the Seminole reservation
>A Seminole police officer from the tribe tells us to go back, since you need a permit to go hiking any further
>But, we were both extremely polite to each other and start talking for a while since the 3 of us had nothing better to do
>All of a sudden it's get chilly
>Like really fucking cold, more than a breeze, and if you've ever been to the Everglades you know there aren't many breezes that come around
>All of us notice, and decide at that time it's about time to end the conversation and head our separate ways
>Me and the girlly are going back South when it gets unbearably cold once again
>After about 2 miles we hear screaming
>It's coming from ahead of the trail so we decide to stay put
>Hear it once again a few minutes later, it was a woman's scream
>At that time we realize maybe someone needs our help
>Keep walking up trail but the screaming stops
>4 miles later, my girlfriend looks to the side off trail and screams
>I look and freak the fuck out also,
>It's a pitbull, in the middle of the fucking Everglades and it's bloody as shit , with a shoe in its mouth,
>It starts charging toward us
>Decide to stand my ground, I've done time in prison nigga what the fuck is this little dog gunna do to you?
>Right?
>Wrong, this nigga pounced on me but once he did, he disappeared.
>We go off trail to look around where he was chewing on the shoe
>Nothings there at all
>Girlfriend says she had her eyes closed as he pounced and didn't see him disappear
>When we get to the entrance of the trail the same officer is there on an ATV
>he asks us if we heard or saw anything strange
>We both lie and said no.

Bump for interest

Anyone else feel disappointment about never encountering anything paranormal?

Cool story though, OP

so based on this story you are a drug addict, criminal usually on the run, and admitted to lying for no reason
this seems legit

I got one...

> park car and walk 10 ft
> admire the beauty of the everglades
> hear a strange noise of a faint buzzing
> millions of mosquitos come from the water, trees, grass, etc
> run like hell from the black cloud
> spend the next hour driving and killing mosquitos trapped in the car
> never visit the everglades again

Look up the hand of death cult, I remember hearing a podcast about a serial killer that claimed to be apart of it and he said mention the Everglades. The guy was a known liar but still he killed people and maybe there is something to eat he was saying. If I can remember the guys name I'll let you know.

That's the guy, listen to the last podcast on the left, they did a few episodes on him, he claimed the cult got ran like a training program for killers, they learned how to poison, tie people up and stuff like that. I also heard another podcast not sure if it was from them or somewhere else but I guy had a story about a missing kid, people go looking for him, get blinded by light in the sky, wake up later not knowing what happened

stop pimping your podcast on /x/

>>18648420
No one is pimping anything pimp, I was just replying to op's post and giving the source I heard it from. Calm down and contribute

So a guy in a zentai suit plays a prank on you and you panic? You probably got knocked out by heat exhaustion or even a tree branch. Definitely creepy, but I don't think it's paranormal.

Naw man, I didn't have a concussion or any bruising on my head. And having lived in South Florida my entire life, and having just been resting and drinking water before I seen the figure, I don't think it was from the heat or weed or nothing like that.

Not the everglades, but there's certain places in the Green Swamp that when I go, I know I'm being watched by something and once even felt like I was doomed. It was pretty scary desu, even though I couldn't find a reason to feel that way.
