Daylight sighting by hunters near Windsor

November 1989 early morning, just after sunrise Windsor, Bertie County, North Carolina 2 witnesses

Account

Two people hunting deer near a creek crossing watched a shape first mistaken for a stump move, crouch, stand upright and stretch. The witness observed through a rifle scope an apelike face and hair-covered body moving along the creek for about ten minutes. As they backed away, a growl and a single loud scream were heard from its direction before it ran and leapt across the creek, after which the pair left.
