Vocalization near Pool, Kentucky (1978)

The witness and five companions drove to an abandoned oilfield road at night to hang out and walked into the surrounding woods with flashlights. Two companions in front flushed something that had been lying on the ground and chased it through thick brush and across a creek, describing it as a man-sized black shape. After regrouping at their trucks, the group heard loud banging on the truck beds with no one visible, became frightened, and left the area.

As a young teen hunting alone with a trained dog, the witness sat against a tree in the dark listening to the dog. He heard something circling him, then a large tree top shook violently without wing sounds. He shouted, fired his rifle, the dog returned bristling, and he dragged the dog out of the woods.

Footsteps near Pool, Kentucky

Before the main night outing, two relatives of a companion had reportedly rabbit hunted on the same property and described hearing footsteps that paced them and drove them out of the woods. The witness heard these stories secondhand and regarded those sources as credible compared with other tales about the area.

Object throwing near Webster County

The witness's father and another man were arrowhead hunting near a pond at Number 7 near dark. They heard a roar-like sound and saw cut logs about 2.5-3 feet long being thrown from the woods through the trees to land halfway to three-quarters across the pond. The companion left for the car and later suggested beavers jumping from trees.

Partial sighting near Webster County

At the witness's new house, dogs have been acting agitated and something bipedal has been heard moving in thick brush near the property. He has seen possible structures and rutted areas, and once at dark his lights caught what looked like a figure walking into the woods. A dog kennel door was found with its lock bent and a hole at the top, which he did not directly attribute.

The witness went coon hunting alone at night at the old Number 7 camp. While sitting against a tree with his light off, he heard something bipedal circling him and then shaking tall treetops and hitting the ground. He fired his rifle toward the sounds, retrieved his bristling dog, and left without seeing the source.
