January 1984 Jackson, Breathitt County, Kentucky Class B #9407

Two children discover small footprints frozen on the surface of a creek near Jackson.

As children, the witness and a sibling companion went to play on a creek that had partly thawed and then refrozen hard overnight. They found a line of barefoot-like prints with distinct toes crossing the ice for about twenty feet and continuing up a steep bank. No other prints were present, and the witness judged a human origin unlikely because of the remote location and freezing weather.

Possible stalking of hunters on the AL state line near Cedartown GA

Two companions were deer hunting in forest land in the fall and regrouped at their vehicle after one found a freshly torn-apart deer carcass. While examining the carcass they reported a feeling of being watched and a strong odor described as wet dog mixed with rotting garbage. As they walked back to the vehicle near dark they heard something moving parallel in the undergrowth, then heard a loud scream from very close range, prompting them to fumble with their unloaded guns and leave quickly.

While watching TV, witness sees large, dark, upright object pass by the window

In summer 1984 the witness was watching television at home late in the evening with a window open when grunting sounds approached the house. The witness looked and saw a large dark upright figure pass by while neighborhood dogs became agitated and a foul skunk-like odor was present. The witness judged the figure too large to be a man and moving unlike a bear.

getting to be wintertime 1984 Decatur, Illinois EP 376

Dogman sighting near Decatur, Illinois (1984)

Late on a bright-moon winter night after the house had been quiet, a thunderous bang shook the wall. The guest looked up and saw a dog-like face with a white toothy grin and yellow eyes looking down through the upper pane, nose pressed to glass. After staring, it slid toward the open window above his head making a squeak on glass, banged the wall again, and the guest fled to the living room couch. He avoided the room, kept curtains closed, and the family moved that spring.

1984 Decatur, Illinois EP 376

Unidentified sound near Decatur, Illinois (1984)

The guest, age 14, moved with his parents into a rented house outside Decatur in 1984. Over months in his large bedroom he experienced a picture and nail falling, drawer opening, clock resetting, lamp failing, scratching on the headboard, blanket pulled off and yanked across the room, feeling of someone sitting on the bed, warm spots, phone chirping even unplugged, breath blown in his ear, and being bounced on his bed off its frame. After moving his bed to the other window and clearing the original wall, activity subsided.

Fisherman observes large, bipedal figure along Kalama River

The witness was drift-fishing alone at a river bend while a relative fished out of sight. After hearing a repeated striking sound, the witness looked across the river and saw a large dark bipedal figure repeatedly lifting a fish overhead and striking it on a rock. After watching briefly the figure carried the fish away toward the woods, and the witness reeled in and ran to tell the relative, who suggested it was another fisher and did not investigate.

The pair rushed indoors to tell adults, who told them it was likely a bear.

15 November 1983 New Market, Madison County, Alabama Class A #416

A resident's early evening sighting next to his home near New Market

The witness was home alone in the evening watching television when a tall dark figure blocked a small window and then walked around to the back door area. He remained still on the couch and watched it look toward the woods, at the ground, and down at him through plastic-covered windows before it left. He then got a firearm and checked outside but found nothing. The next morning a large three-toed footprint was found in a dusty spot beside the trailer.
