Two friends get spooked by a possible encounter near Norris Lake

Two companions rode an ATV to a clearing by a lake and built a large fire at night. Over the evening they heard deliberate footfalls, pacing and stick breaks in the treeline about sixty yards away and noticed the woods go silent. After the witness knocked on a tree and made a whoop call, they heard knocks in reply and then a long deep guttural growl. They rode toward the sound without seeing anything, then put out the fire and left feeling watched and frightened.

Animal behaviour in Tennessee

The witness describes being in the bush on a stormy night when hair rose on his neck and a strong voice that was not his own invited him in his head to stay the night to meet them. He sensed two presences on a nearby hill, a prime adult male and a smaller young one, answered mentally that he was not ready, and felt the presence leave. He later asked a counselor about hearing voices and notes similar experiences three other times.
