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

The witness and three companions were sitting by a dying campfire late at night when a dog ran back into camp frightened. They then noticed a tall shadowy figure just beyond the firelight that turned to face them, showing eye reflection and a strong foul wet-animal odor. 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.

Scream in Tennessee

While walking between woven tree structures, the witness heard a woman-like scream behind him and saw a large hairy form moving parallel then darting into woods breaking trees. He tried to intercept it and a frightened deer stopped close in front of him. He then heard screaming from two positions at once with nothing visible, which he interpreted as interrupting a hunt.
