Hikers find footprints near Pell City

Two people walking along a creekbank found two human-like footprints, one partial ball-only print stepping up from the creek and one full print. The full print was roughly human foot length but narrow and pressed deeply into dirt, which the witness could only replicate by stomping with a boot heel. The witnesses describe themselves as avid hunters and state the prints did not match bear or other known wildlife they have seen.

Piercing scream heard by hunters.

Three people were camping on a ridge during deer season when they heard heavy footsteps circling and piercing screams. After a tree was heard falling, something very large rushed past the camp breaking saplings, and a snapped tree was later found. A large shadowy outline then watched the camp from beyond the firelight for the rest of the night.

Family camping encounter large, fur covered creature. Footprints are discovered at the campsite

A family camping at Sunrise Beach heard branch-breaking sounds overnight and the next morning found a very large footprint in a dried creek bed. Shortly after, they saw a large brownish hair-covered creature watching them from behind a tree on a hillside, which then walked away toward the campground road. The father also reported seeing it cross the road ahead while lifting a wire out of its way, and the family quickly left the area.
