Tracks in Virginia (2020)

The witness was cleaning and preparing an auction site in the mountains when large barefoot tracks were found that dwarfed the witness's own foot.

That evening and the next night loud echoing vocalizations and loud bird-like whistles were heard while deer disappeared and the woods went silent.

Eyeshine near Roanoke, Virginia (1980)

The witness remained still praying until morning, when the presence was gone, and later told companions who laughed.
