Im new also , so i will tell you guys about myself here . My name is Carolann ,I have lived in Florida ( Tampa area ) all my life . I am a stay at home mom with three boys (13,16,19 ) . I have always had strange things occuring around my family and myself . For instance the town i grew up in (Citrus Park ) was nothing but cattle ranches , orange groves , dairy farms and major amounts of woods . Our property backed up to a pretty big stretch of woods . I had the bedroom in the back of the home and was visited almost nightly by a dark hairy heavy breathing creature that would stare in my window , along with that strange noises and weird stick formations were seen and heard in the woods . One night when i was about seventeen yrs old my grandmother had an encounter with something ( you can read my story in Weird Florida ) those things led me to become a Bigfoot researcher . I have also lived in homes that had major amounts of paranormal activity and it is not uncommon to find me in graveyards or places that have this activity as well . That is just a little about me and i hope to make some friends here ...
