Object throwing near Purvis, Mississippi (2012)

In late August 2012, the witness was exploring the edge of a swamp with a relative when a very heavy pine root fell from high in the air and landed nearby. The witness watched its trajectory and judged it too heavy to have been thrown by a person, noting no one should reasonably be in the swamp at that season. No creature was seen during this incident.

July 2012 Washington EP 630

Rock throwing in Washington (2012)

After a thunderstorm night the guest slept alone in a six-man tent with his truck parked close by. Around 2:15 AM gravel fell onto his canopy, a rock was dragged down a metal pole, then huge fingers pushed through the tent door and swept back and forth as if feeling for something. Terrified, he stayed still until it withdrew, walked past his head, tapped his truck bumper, and walked down the road away, an exit also heard by another camper nearby.
