OBSERVED: I was 14 years old, it was deer season, and I was headed to the wooded land southeast of the C & G railroad. When I walked from the roadway onto the railway, I immediately saw what looked like a huge man with hair all over his body standing right in the middle of the rails looking at me. This thing has always registered in my mind to be close to 8 feet tall, the hair was black in color, and the scariest thing is that his chest and shoulders were massive, but looked to be consistent to his height. I had a scope on my rifle, but had always been taught to use extreme caution when pointing any firearm by my father and grandfather. I walked backwards onto the gravel road, which is now paved, lay down and crawled up so I could look through the scope at him, but he was gone. I went the opposite way on the railway and sat down beside a tree off the rails, but didn't see any animals that afternoon. That night I was in my bedroom with the light on when i looked at the window and there was an enormous face, with yellowish gold eyes, hair hanging down everywhere, wide mouth, slightly flattened nose. I feel as if this thing was curious, and I felt slightly threatened. I know 75 is a long time ago, but i can remember it vividly.
Additional
things: Loud bellowing screams near
these bottom lands, always wondered about them, but chalked them off to
maybe a bull on a farm
Activities
of Witness: Was on my way
to go hunting on south side of railway. The date I put down is approximate,
just remember it was deer season, which starts around the 20th of November
here, and goes through January
Description
of Creature: 8 feet or close, black
hair, extremely muscular, couldn't see face very well on railway, but that
night out the window face was wide, leathery texture, eyes yellow gold
and huge, eyebrows long, mouth wide but lip or mouth area straight across,
hair hanging down both sides of face, could see no ears.

(Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes:
My grandfather always told me before he died in 72 to stay away from and
don't bother the red devil in those bottom lands. No known events since
this one.
