OBSERVED: It was almost dark, we were cat fishing and noticed 18" 3-toed tracks going into the water. We followed the tracks which were fresh and came to a rocky cliff and could hear something breathing heavy off to our right. It was too dark to see but all of the forest sounds stopped and it became very scary. We got out in a hurry. Later the next day, we returned and made a plaster cast of a footprint, but during the night it rained hard so our print was very poor quality. We are currently doing some night time howl calling and knocking in the area to try and contact the thing. We had one holler back from it a week ago around 11:00 pm. There is something in the area.

Additional things: No smells as have been described by others. The footprints were human like except they had 3 toes, they were approx. 18" with a stride of over 3 feet. The odd thing was that each foot was curved so that the toes pointed inward. Originally, the prints were sharp as the thing stepped into very soft mud near the creek the further it went inland the ground clutter made good prints hard to find. The main thing was how quiet it got. The area is wild and remote with no houses in any direction for miles. The crickets even stopped chirping. The area is home to bobcat, turkey, deer, raccoons, cranes, and even black bear on occasion. Never have I seen a foot print like this though.

Activities of Witness: We were fishing. We walked up the creek down a little path until the path ran out and we walked further along the creek bank which is where we discovered the tracks.

Description of Creature: There was no creature observed, only foot prints and a low "growl" or heavy breathy sound in the woods.

Other Notes: The area is so remote that one time many years ago, a man wanted for murder fled in the area and it took weeks before anyone found him. One doesn't think of such large vast remote wilderness being left in the eastern US but this is such an area. It would be a good place to conduct searches as I have been doing and hope to find something.

Other (Informational or Encounter History in the General Area) Notes: Recently, I have been going up there at night doing some howl calling and beating sticks against the trees to see if I could get a response. Once, I received a "holler" back. It was very far up the creek from me but started off as a low growl and ended up as a "whooping" holler. I tried again for an hour with no luck. This happened a few days ago. Also, I ran into a fisherman and told him the story. He said that a couple of years ago, a man driving the back roads nearby stopped at trash collection bin to dump trash at about 3:00 am when something leaped out of the bin on two legs and chased him to his car. The man got in the car and fled so scared that he didn't even dump his trash. The county had to close the bin because something kept trashing the place nightly. I've heard of fisherman in the area hearing howl's off in the woods at night also. The area is very remote and has a large amount of wooded land with vast creeks and a river flood plain.
