Bow hunter is escorted from woods by foul-smelling, acorn-throwing bipeds

The witness was bow-hunting deer from a tree stand at dusk when deer ran through the creek below after a scream and thump. After climbing down to investigate, he smelled strong body odor, heard tapping and vocal sounds coming from two directions, and had acorn-like objects thrown at him. He then briefly saw a large dark figure watching him from cover before fleeing the area and never returning.

Campers experience strange events in Ramsey's Draft Wilderness Area

A group was camped in a forested valley and spent the afternoon and night sitting and talking. They heard knocks from a nearby ridge followed by small rocks thrown toward camp, some hitting a tent. A deer came within about ten feet of the group in the evening and remained nearby all night, at times appearing alert toward the woods. The group did not report seeing a creature.

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.
