Eyeshine

Growl in Virginia

The day after hearing the scream, the guest asked neighbors whose woods bordered the sound. The neighbor said she and another person had been sitting on their wood-surrounded deck when something gave a deep guttural growl, and on approaching the edge she saw eyes in the woods, prompting them to go inside. The neighbor also said she often felt watched when walking by those woods.

Sasquatch sighting near John Day, Oregon

The following spring the guest returned to the same camp with a hunting partner and girlfriend for a weekend camp. After dinner visitors left, the partner fired a revolver at a large bipedal animal that jumped from the creek bed, then all three watched it run parallel across a sparsely timbered hillside in spotlight, noting reflective eyes and remarkable speed while keeping its gaze on them. The girlfriend reported it whistled at her, and next morning they found a single partial footprint in hard clay.

Dogman sighting in Utah

The witness was night fishing with his brother and a friend when movement in dense cattails prompted him to throw concrete that struck something with a loud thud and exhale. They saw high amber-red eyeshine, then fled to their lifted pickup as a large snout-faced biped chased them. It reached toward the tailgate and kept pace on two and four legs for several hundred yards until they detoured around the lake to escape.

Whoop in Georgia

As teenagers the witness and friends camped and hiked up a reputedly haunted mountain at night to look for a cabin. They were paralleled on both sides, heard whoops and powerful wood knocks and branches being ripped, then a large tree was pushed over close to them and they fled. The running camcorder captured the sounds and briefly illuminated two large almond-shaped red eyes that narrowed and turned away before the tree fell.

Eyeshine in Indiana

In darkness the witness walked a logging path to his tree stand while two sets of eyeshine paralleled him side-by-side for a long distance. When he switched on white light at about 15 feet the eyes rose to about seven feet with a bark-like grunt, then vanished. From the stand he watched one taller and one smaller eyeshine peek from behind a tree until a neighbor's vehicle lights approached, when they crashed away loudly through the woods.
