Footsteps near Boone, North Carolina (2008)
Account
The witness spent a weekend fishing at a river below a rented cabin while repeatedly feeling watched and hearing heavy footsteps and breathing on the cabin porch at night. On the final morning while fishing alone, the witness spoke aloud toward the woods and a very tall dark-haired biped stepped out, came down the bank, and stood across the river watching for many minutes. It scratched, swatted flies, made a deep non-aggressive yawn-like sound, drank water with its hand, then remained while the witness left fish on the bank and walked back to the cabin.
