12:40AM sighting by motorist one mile NE of Black River Falls

The witness was driving home from work late at night when she briefly saw a tall, dark figure on the opposite side of the highway near a guardrail. She described it as facing away and moving toward the ditch and forest, seeing it only for a moment at close range. A coworker who drove the same stretch about 15 minutes earlier reported a deer sprinting across the road in the same area.

Possible encounter while fishing Lake Guntersville at night

The witness was night fishing from a dock when an otter nearby suddenly fled. The witness then saw a large grey shape move quickly and silently between cover, followed by a large splash near the dock. Frightened, the witness left immediately and found large four-toed footprints on a return visit the next day.

1 March 2013 Makanda Or Cobden, Jackson County, Illinois Class B #40120

Possible vocalizations and rock throwing east of Makanda

On a night trip in early March 2013, the witness and three companions stopped in the woods around 2:30 a.m. after hearing a loud moaning sound. The witness shone a light downhill and saw a head with two closely spaced eyes about 40 feet away and 5 to 6 feet off the ground. The eyes stared for about 45 seconds before sidestepping behind a tree, and a quick search found nothing and no tracks.

1 December 2012 Hytop, Jackson County, Alabama Class B #38022

Large black figure seen on a ridgeline near Hytop

The witness and a companion walked down an old logging road in the early afternoon the day after hearing a knock in the same area. The witness noticed a large dark figure standing partly behind a tree a couple hundred yards away, apparently watching them. When they looked again moments later it was gone, and feeling uneasy they returned to the truck and left.
