Motorist observes bipedal animal shaking a pecan tree near Camp LeJeune

July 1999 about 6:50 a.m. Camp Lejeune, Onslow County, North Carolina 1 witness

Account

While commuting to work in the morning, the witness pulled over to watch what they first thought was a bear sitting under a large pecan tree. After noticing a strong foul odor, they watched the animal stand, walk to the tree on two feet, and shake pecans from it. After the witness honked, the animal froze, turned to look, made a loud screeching noise, and ran quickly into the woods.
