Memory told of a possible encounter while camping with friends near LaFollette

After staring for under a minute, the figure ran upslope through brush breaking branches, while the group shouted and then kept the fire up all night.

1 August 1984 Hampton, Carter County, Tennessee Class B #25377

Man remembers a scary encounter while camping with friends near Hampton

In August 1984 four teenagers were camping overnight on a wooded ridge when they heard unexplained noises and their dogs became agitated. A very loud yell came from just behind their lean-to, which shook visibly, causing the group to flee through the dark woods. One teen briefly froze before following, later reporting grunting and footsteps behind him. The next day the group found the lean-to torn down, the fire pit rocks scattered, and a strong wet-dog-like odor at the site.
