Child on ATV sees creature on all-fours near Ardmore

A grandchild riding a four-wheeler reported encountering a large, long-haired, monkey-like animal on all fours that caused great fright and a call for a parent. The parent rushed over after hearing a scream and saw a tree limb still moving as if just released. The sighting occurred in the evening in a wooded creek area where a noisy group had been riding. The grandchild later said the animal resembled a movie character but with a head bump and was not standing upright.

Man and wife have separate strange encounters in same area

In the early morning the witness was at a rental mobile home property with his wife to check on tenants and let dogs out. The dogs refused to leave the porch while reacting to movement in an adjacent tobacco field. The witness saw a large hunched furred figure with a rounded back in the field and a smaller figure moving away, and heard exchanging chuffing vocalizations and a distressed mewling sound from the field and from across the road near a creek. The figures moved toward tall grass and the tree line, a tree across the road shook as if climbed, a musty odor was noticed, and mashed grass trails were found the next morning.

Man remembers a scary encounter while camping with friends near Hampton

In August 1984 four teenagers were camping overnight on a wooded ridge when they heard unexplained noises and their dogs became agitated. A very loud yell came from just behind their lean-to, which shook visibly, causing the group to flee through the dark woods. One teen briefly froze before following, later reporting grunting and footsteps behind him. The next day the group found the lean-to torn down, the fire pit rocks scattered, and a strong wet-dog-like odor at the site.

Man relates series of events over several years after seeing a report posted from 3-4 miles away

The witness lived on wooded acreage in the early 1980s and reported ongoing strange activity over several years. He described finding a pole teepee structure and twisted saplings, hearing distant whistle-like sounds and whistling on the hill, seeing red and green eyeshine at night, pursuing unseen footsteps in snow without finding tracks, and having rocks and wood thrown. He stated he never had a clear sighting but concluded an intelligent, elusive presence lived nearby.
