October 2014 Fort Ashby, Mineral County, West Virginia Class B #46665

Possible activity including eye glow outside a home near Fort Ashby

Around 1 a.m. the witness got up for water and looked out the kitchen window. About 20 yards into the woods behind the house, three pairs of red glowing eyes moved single file at an estimated 7 feet off the ground. No bodies could be seen in the darkness except moving branches, and the movement was described as smooth, balanced and agile.

Eyeshine
13 April 2005 Pocahontas County, West Virginia Class B #11432

Possible sighting during BFRO's West Virginia expedition, Spring 2005

The witness was alone at a riverside base camp in the afternoon when she saw two dark, slender bipedal figures walking on the opposite river trail around a bend. When she reached the riverbank moments later they had vanished with no place to hide except a steep vegetated canyon wall. A radio check confirmed the hiking group had not passed anyone, and when group members later stood at the same spot they looked much smaller and bulkier than the figures.

10 August 1990 Holden, Logan County, West Virginia Class B #16228

Possible sighting by a security guard at strip mine outside Holden

The witness was working an overnight security shift at a strip mine when he heard movement in brush behind the trailer. Shining a flashlight, he saw a large bipedal animal squatting behind a thicket that covered its face with huge hands before running away. About half an hour later he heard a chilling scream from inside the locked trailer, and he left the mountain for good that night.
