Unidentified Primate continues to attract attention in Campbell County

Residents in a Campbell County community reported a large ape-like primate on the loose over several weeks in autumn 2003. One resident reported seeing the animal at close range, noting a strong odor, and said it threw a kitten toward them. Other reports described a home intrusion with scattered belongings, stool deposits on property, and many missing or dead cats and kittens. Animal control and the sheriff's department investigated and warned residents not to approach the animal.

14 June 1986 Oneida, Scott County, Tennessee Class A #62358

Witness describes two different sightings outside Oneida

In 1986 the witness stopped in a car near a church at dusk to adjust the radio when dirt and gravel struck the hood. The witness then noticed a tall hair-covered figure standing on the roadside berm and drove slowly past it at close range before speeding home. The witness showed dirt still on the hood to a relative that evening and found scooped-out chunks missing from the berm the next day.

Wood knock near Linsdale, Tennessee

On the last night out, the pair sat back-to-back on a man-made ridge and made knocks, howls and other calls. Responses approached, then stopped, followed by heavy bipedal steps and rocks thrown from the front on both sides. They threw rocks back for many minutes until a rock came from the direction they had entered, making the guest conclude they were surrounded.

Chatter in Tennessee

The witness entered a drawn bow-hunt area before daylight and heard chattering like a samurai movie from two individuals. Calls and flashlight produced silence, then movement split to both sides of the trail as he climbed down. As he left, unseen individuals followed, mumbled, threw rocks and sticks, and struck his truck before rangers moved him to another area.
