Next morning he found disturbed ground suggesting large bipedal steps.

December 2007 Russellville, Franklin County, Alabama Class B #25619

Deer hunter hears possible vocalizations and watches a tall dark figure near Russellville

While hunting in the late afternoon, the witness heard a loud long whoop followed by chatter apparently responding to distant shooters, then heard it again from farther along the treeline. The witness then saw a bipedal dark figure about 200 yards away walking in pines toward a break, where it stopped and crouched by a brush pile. The witness left without approaching closely and returned the next day, finding no sign but noticing an unusual odor.

5 May 2002 Opelika, Lee County, Alabama Class B #18033

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.

Rescue workers describes possible stalking on the Cahaba River outside Montevallo

The witness and a companion were waiting on a riverbank at night to help pull rescue canoes from the water.

Both individuals fled and the figure did not pursue further.
