Hunter gets investigated while in his blind outside Bagdad

The witness settled into a 6-foot ground blind before daylight to deer hunt. Something stepped over a nearby fence and approached with heavy footsteps, then breathed, sniffed and pressed down on the top of the blind. After the witness shouted a warning, the sniffing paused then resumed more aggressively before the visitor circled the blind and left toward the woods without being seen.

Man describes encounter at a strip mine near Whitesburg

The witness was working overnight security at a remote strip mine and was resting in the guard shack during heavy rain. He heard crunching beside the shack, saw a shadow move toward the door, and something pulled on the door. After he shouted, he heard a terrifying screaming howl and the pulling intensified, so he heated a poker as a threat until it went quiet, then ran to his car where he remained the rest of the night.

A log was then thrown with enough force to move their car, prompting them to drive away.
