Guy exploring creeks finds tracks then growled at by large dark figure 10mi northeast of Russellville

The witness returned on a Sunday afternoon to a wooded creek confluence where large tracks had been found days earlier. While approaching, something large moved alongside through the woods breaking branches, and the witness found large footprints including a tiny print in one heel. The witness then heard a large splash in the creek followed by paired guttural growls that stopped after the witness whooped, and later described seeing a large hairy figure peeking from behind a tree across the creek.

Father and son have possible encounter in a deer blind near Woodbine

The witness and his son were deer hunting from a blind in darkness before dawn. After the son woke the sleeping witness, they heard something large moving fast through brush behind the blind. It screamed, stomped hard enough to shake the ground, snapped limbs, and grunted and growled before leaving quickly. The pair then left the area immediately.

Strange noises followed by strong odor and glimpse of large bipedal animal

The witness and a companion arrived home at night and heard a loud roaring scream twice from a nearby hillside.
