Campers report 'Ohio howls' and stalking near Mt. Jackson in George Washington National Forest
Two people camped in a remote, heavily forested area heard prolonged, loud howls from a nearby ridge, along with heavy footsteps and crashing through brush. After briefly walking up the road to listen, they felt the source paced them and then moved closer downhill toward them. They returned to camp, kept the fire built up, and continued hearing sporadic howls and movement until they fell asleep after midnight.
Possible trash snatching (2 witnesses) outside Sherando
The witness and a companion were sleeping in their truck at a forest camp late at night when a large bipedal shape walked past and went to trash bags hung high in a tree. The shape reached up, carried one bag into the woods where tearing and eating sounds were heard, then returned about half an hour later to take a second bag. The pair remained in the truck, then packed up and left to spend the rest of the night elsewhere.
Man recalls watching a possible late night road crossing from his home outside Fieldale
Around 3 a.m. on a cold clear night during Christmas season, the witness got up for a drink and looked out the back-door window toward a lit road. He watched a tall, hairy, upright figure with long arms climb a steep bank, grip a bridge rail, cross the two-lane road in one stride, and disappear down the opposite bank. The observation lasted about five seconds under a street light.
Memory told of a tall hairy figure seen in a corn field near Lawrenceville
The witness was riding on a school bus at night after a game when they noticed a tall, hair-covered figure standing in a corn field near a scarecrow. The figure was watched for several seconds as the bus passed about 75 to 100 yards away. Other passengers did not see it and laughed when the witness called out.
Memory told of a possible sighting of two juveniles tree climbing at sundown near Farmville
The witness waited in a parked car in an open farm field at dusk while a companion hunted nearby. After the companion returned uneasy to the car, both looked toward a large oak tree ahead. The witness saw two small dark hair-covered figures moving and climbing around the tree; one came down, moved behind the trunk, then peered out and stood upright looking toward the car. Frightened, the pair left immediately and drove home instead of staying overnight.
Retired Military Policeman remembers strange incidents while on guard duty at Fort Belvoir
The witness was an MP stationed at Davison Army Airfield from late 1977 to late 1979. While alone on night gate duty he noticed a deer acting alarmed, heard a noise in the dark woods beyond the street light, and saw two red eyes reflecting back at a height well above deer level. He connects the incident to repeated nighttime knocks, loud wood breaks and unfamiliar animal sounds heard around the airfield swamp and south perimeter woods.
