LOCATION:
Webster Parish, Louisiana
TERRAIN:
Swampy
OBSERVED:
We got lost in the Bisteneau Swamp while coon hunting. We found a dry knoll
and made camp and built a fire to rest and walk out at daybreak. In the
dead middle of the night the coon dogs went crazy and started wrapping
their leashes around the tree. We all knew without doubt we were being
circled out their as we could hear movement and splash. It made several
knocking noises that were unfamiliar to all of us. Now based on these siting
data bases I would classify it as wood knocking.
Activities
of Witness: Splashing through
swamp coon hunting...then splashing around lost.
Description
of Creature: Seemed to be a large
creature 50 to 100 yards out in the swamp...circling for about 45 minutes.
Other
Notes: Competent coon
dogs were upset and frightened.
Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: My scout master told a story about a supposed 'wild woman of Bistineau' who was seen running through this area with a 'knife' in her teeth.
I had
always assumed a mentally ill feral woman but never considered Patty type
female with stick in mouth.
