Possible stalking of couple parked at power line cut outside Opelika

The witness and his wife sat on his truck tailgate at a power-line clearing late at night when they heard snorting, brush breaking, and a loud growl/grunt moving up a steep hill toward them. The witness saw a large shadow moving on the slope in moonlight, heard breathing and stomping, and smelled a musky sour odor. After revving the truck engine the sounds crashed rapidly downhill, and the pair left, seeing deer run across the road as they drove out.

Possible daylight encounter on Fort Rucker Army Base

The witness was walking alone during a work break to look for arrowheads when he heard movement and grunts near a creek. He briefly saw a large dark man-shaped figure about 6 to 7 feet tall standing in dense woods before it turned and crashed away. He left quickly and initially tried to explain it as a stray horse.

Night hunters hear strange screams in the woods

Two people stood on a hilltop field at night imitating owls to elicit responses. Instead they heard a loud scream or moan from toward the river, heard it again closer after calling again, then heard something large moving quickly uphill through the woods toward them. They retreated to their truck, drove toward the gate, and heard additional screams from the woods and hayfield.
