Coon hunters smell terrible odor, see red eyes, figure cross powerline right of way
Account
Three people were coon hunting with dogs when they heard crunching leaves and breaking branches behind them but saw nothing, and one young dog ran past frightened. They walked back to a small creek and noticed a strong foul odor described as wet dog, sour, rotten and sulfurous. The witness then saw two large red eyes about 50-75 yards away and a roughly 9-foot-tall bipedal figure that crossed a power line into the woods in about two steps.
