Possible encounters on a farm near Dry Ridge

Lone camper hears vocalization
The witness was sitting alone by a campfire late at night when a very loud, high-pitched wailing howl began in the woods at a distance.

The figure, estimated at 6 to 6.5 feet tall, stood motionless with arms raised to shoulder height and stared at the car for a few seconds as the witness passed within about 15-20 feet. The witness described an angry humanlike face without a bear-like muzzle and felt frightened.

Hunter briefly observes a stationary upright animal before it runs away
About 30 years ago the witness was hunting elk alone along a high ridge in daylight. He watched a dark upright shape behind a lone pine for a couple minutes, looked away to check for elk, then glimpsed brown legs to the waist running bipedally and silently across a clearing. He ran to get a wider view but saw and heard nothing further and could not explain the sighting as a known animal.
