Claim 1: “Alligator knocks on NC woman’s front door at 1 am”
DISPUTED
The claim specifies a North Carolina woman. However, the evidence shows similar incidents occurred in South Carolina, Florida (Lake Mary), and Florida (doorbell camera), but no evidence supports this happening in North Carolina. One source explicitly mentions 'I think I'll stay in NC' while discussing a Florida video, implying the event did not happen in NC.
