Ginseng hunter and stepson have lengthy encounter 20 miles west of Beckley

The witness and a companion were harvesting ginseng when they heard repeated unusual sounds including a low growl and a loud siren-like tone. Over several minutes they heard heavy fast footsteps and watched smaller trees shake violently while catching partial glimpses of a large bipedal creature that kept trees between itself and them. Several trees snapped and fell in the same direction, and rocks were later seen rolling down a nearby point. The pair inspected freshly broken trees before leaving the area the way they came.

Daylight sighting near an abandonned mining chamber near Amigo

The witness was driving back along a remote mine haul road after collecting a coal sample when two deer ran through the woods. The witness then saw a light-tan biped rise from the ground, make a hand-clapping motion, then kneel and crawl into an abandoned mine opening. A second, very dark biped then ran past and crawled into the same opening. Both disappeared inside the chamber.
