While approaching, something large moved alongside through the woods breaking branches, and the witness found large footprints including a tiny print in one heel.

Ginseng hunter recalls being terrified by a nighttime visitor on old mining property at the KY/VA border

Two companions were camping in remote steep woods while digging ginseng when they were awakened late at night by loud howls, screams, growls and chattering. Something shook trees and threw large rocks and small sapling trees into their camp for hours, retreating when the fire was built up and returning as it died down. At daylight they found saplings broken off and uprooted around camp and hiked out to the road.
