Late night encounter in the Rough Creek area
Account
The witness and his teenage son were deer hunting and sleeping on the ground after forgetting tent poles. While asleep, the witness felt fingers gently touching his beard and noticed a strong odor like burnt hair and decomposing meat. He sat up and roared, and the visitor fled on two legs through thick brush, loudly crunching dry leaves. A flashlight search found no tracks.
