Eyeshine near Roanoke, Virginia (1980)
Account
A teenager staying alone at a remote hunting cabin after companions left and did not return spent nights unsettled by a wet-animal odor and a feeling of being watched. While sleeping outside by a fire pit, the fire died low and a large unseen presence approached, producing deep growls, snot-blowing sounds, stomping that vibrated the ground, and a pair of very high, widely spaced, bright red glowing eyes. The witness remained still praying until morning, when the presence was gone, and later told companions who laughed.
