Dogman sighting in Tennessee

While driving home from a night shift along a river road in the early morning, the witness saw a solid black figure emerge and chase the car on all fours with audible breathing and claws. The witness drove faster, saw green eyeshine in the taillights, and followed it for about two miles until it turned off into an old field. The witness could not identify the animal and wondered about a dogman-like creature.

The witness was bow hunting with a friend on private land they had used for years.

Over later visits to the same woods the witness and friends found a hair-covered shape curled like a stump, had a softball-sized rock thrown at their group, found a hung bait bucket punched open and emptied, felt hot breath and heard a grunt behind them with nothing seen, and found logs arranged like benches that gave an overwhelming feeling of dread. The witness also relayed a friend's solo report of something large jumping tree to tree with a shadow passing overhead.
