DATE: June/July? 1997
TIME: 11:00 P.M.
LOCATION: Pontotoc, Mississippi, Pontotoc County
TERRAIN: Wooded
OBSERVED: It was about 11:00 PM and I don't remember if it was in June or July. A friend and myself were going to camp out about a mile or so from his house off of Possum Trott Rd. We had our sleeping bags out and a medium sized fire going. Soup was cooking and we decided to gather wood incase the fire died down. I made a makeshift torch out of a large stick and some gasoline, I know your thinking "redneck" but it works doesn't it. I carried the torch and he continued on by picking up some pine wood that had been left by loggers I guess. When all of a sudden this god forsaken scream came from the bushes about twenty yards in front of us. It sounded like a mix between a cougar, a boar, a bear and a bobcat but it was warbly and raspy also. I was still holding the torch while I ran like hell back to the fire. I grabbed up my .22 rifle and tossed him his. Without thinking he dumped about a gallon of gasoline onto the fire to stoke it up a bit. I was saying "oh shit" over and over because there wasn't anything else I could think of.
I said "Joseph what was that?" He replied "cougar?". And I told him that there is no way in heaven or hell that a cougar could be that big and that loud. I mean I've heard them before and they are scarey too if your just out in the woods and you hear it, but this was no cougar. I yelled at the thing telling it that we would fire if it didn't stop. I was hoping it was just someone playing a prank on us. He yelled the same and nothing happened. Then I fired a shot into the air as a bluff. It moved maybe five foot towards us, or it sounded like that. And so I called to it again and told it to make itself known and we weren't playing. He yelled to it that we would fire if it didn't do as we asked.
We heard a move again so we turned those bushes and trees into swiss cheese. Now looking back on it, that was pretty dumb. I could have been someone joking around and then we'd have killed them. But we didn't this time. So anyway we were firing like we were against hells minion itself. We reloaded and as we did it kind of galloped off to our left and away. A little shower picked up about that time and the fire was dieing down so was carefully walked back to his house and slept with our rifles snuggly in our arms.
I
wanted to add that at the time I thought it was something native to Mississippi
that we had heard. I did'nt know what but I am a man of reality, there
arent any "spooks" or "haints" around here and it had to be something.
So one night about a year later I had really forgotten about it all, and
I was watching the Discovery channel. I guess it was about midnight or
so and there was this program on that sparked my intrest. The people on
there were out in the wilderness in the Northwest looking for an animal.
They said that they thought they had it taped and played back. My blood
curdled, it was the same exact sound. And the animal the were looking for?
The Yeti or Bigfoot as some people call it. Now two things are probable,
either we both heard a yeti or we both heard some animal that is unknown
to science. I mean it could very well be a cat or a mouse even that made
that god awefull sound but science doesn't know about it yet, so I'll stick
to bigfoot and tell people occasionally.
Activities
of Witness: Right before?
My friend was picking up wood for the fire and I was holding a makeshift
torch for light.

Other
Notes: Never before or since and
I don't tell people this alot so I am not sure if there are anyother occurrences
like this one. I think it sounds kooky so I try to keep quiet about it.
But no one has said anything about a sighting or in my case a hearing to
my knowledge.
