- Key West folklore and cryptid readers
- Worth noticing
- The page says early accounts are difficult to find and validate, while tying its lore to named local histories.
Field notes
The narrative moves from an account of Key West’s early settlement into sections on Bone Key, the Civil War, and a later, more benevolent version of the creature. It uses historical names and dates—including Fort Zachary Taylor and the 1863 blockade runner Banshee No. 3—alongside explicitly hard-to-validate creature lore; the supplied excerpt does not show linked sourcing for those claims.
