Ginseng hunter recalls being terrified by a nighttime visitor on old mining property at the KY/VA border

Two companions were camping in remote steep woods while digging ginseng when they were awakened late at night by loud howls, screams, growls and chattering. Something shook trees and threw large rocks and small sapling trees into their camp for hours, retreating when the fire was built up and returning as it died down. At daylight they found saplings broken off and uprooted around camp and hiked out to the road.

Sasquatch sighting near Spotsville, Kentucky (1975)

A family home in Kentucky was terrorized in 1975 by tall hairy creatures over an extended period. Witnesses described seeing a figure watching from a gully, hearing limbs breaking, finding livestock killed, and seeing a figure under a light and exiting a barn. Fear became so intense the father prepared to burn the house with the family inside rather than risk an attack.

ATV riders near Berea have scary ride out of woods at night

The witness and four companions were riding ATVs at night when they heard a single loud branch snap followed by dead silence. After moving to a clearing, a large log and then a limestone slab were thrown from an uphill wooded area toward a companion's ATV, barely missing the rider. Loud thumps and breaking branches suggesting something heavy running downhill followed, and the group started their vehicles and left quickly.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky

The guest's grandfather was sitting on his vehicle eating sardines when a grayish hairy figure appeared and stared for several minutes with only slight swaying. He set the food down, left, and found it gone the next day, then left food there about every two weeks and saw the figure a few times. On the last visit he saw a large black one with a younger one, the large one shaking trees and throwing things while the young one left, after which he stopped going there.

Structure or nest in Kentucky

The couple and their teenage son followed a game trail and found a canopy-like structure of stems and leaves with a lay area and several trees broken over seven feet high. On the way back they repeatedly heard something walking with them that stopped when they stopped. From a field below they had small rocks land near them several times and left as it got dark.

Property disturbance near Elkhorn City, Kentucky

Before the ridge sighting the family had biscuits taken from an oven pan twice when no children were present, and whole hams disappearing from the smokehouse. One late night chickens made a ruckus and a small dog refused to go out. A flashlight search found wide chisel-like scratches on a sassafras tree starting above eight feet and running down to chest level.
