Man walking dog reports growls and thrown rocks 9 miles east of Harrisonburg

The witness returned to the parked truck after walking dogs uphill on a road. He found a truck door open, then two rocks came from an uphill ridge, one landing in front of the truck and a larger one passing close to him. He heard two low grunts from that direction and later heard brush moving away as he left to get assistance.

Strange encounter experienced by LEO's camped near Goldbond

A group of coworkers camped in a densely wooded valley in Jefferson National Forest. Around 12:30 a.m. they heard distant vocalizations from two different directions, then small stones were thrown toward their picnic table over an extended period while they felt watched. Shortly before sunrise the next morning, several members of the group heard a brief speech-like sound from dense woods that shocked them. No visual sighting occurred and the witness left later that day.

Recollection of a college outing interrupted by possible vocalizations and rocks thrown near Rawley Springs

A large college group camped late at night in a remote, densely wooded rocky area. After midnight they heard large rocks being thrown into and around a nearby stream and loud wailing, howling and grunting sounds that grew closer when the camp was loud and receded when quiet. After confirming all members were present, most of the group left early while about 10-15 stayed quietly until dawn as the sounds grew more distant.

Youth catches standing figure in flashlight glow during camp-out

Around May 1970 the witness was camping with family at a lakeside campground and lay awake in a tent near midnight. After hearing trash being disturbed, the witness stepped out barefoot with a flashlight and saw a small upright furry creature looking into a hanging trash bag. The creature turned, made a squeal-grunt cry, and dashed away while the witness ran shouting to wake relatives. No tracks were found afterward because the area was trampled.

Door or window contact in Virginia

After moving to full-time residence, the guest was repeatedly awakened by forceful strikes to her elevated bedroom balcony and garage side that shook rooms but revealed no one on inspection. The strikes occurred repeatedly in the early-morning hours and were accompanied at times by creepy laughing, whistling and knocking from the surrounding woods. She initially suspected human harassment but never saw anyone despite immediate searches with a flashlight.

Rock throwing in Virginia

About an hour later rocks the size of a hand began landing in the campsite, forcing them to take shelter in their cars. In the morning rangers said no other campers were registered and possible footprints were inconclusive.

Growl in Virginia

The family dog was terrified the first night by a deep growl and later refused to go behind the house. With his cousin near the pond the witness felt dread and found scattered deer ribs, legs, skull and later skin with other bones gone. On another morning he heard a deer screaming, found drag marks, blood on a fallen tree and a dead deer with head bent back, while his white shepherd had no blood on it.
