Stokes County, North Carolina
TERRAIN:
Woodland, dirt road between open fields
OBSERVED:
I was riding down a dirt road with my dad looking for cattle that had gotten
out of the fence. When we traveled around a curve in the road, I noticed
a dark brown animal on the side of the field near the road no more than
20 yards away from me. I could see red eyes that shown brightly in the
head lights of the truck. I could see what looked like a human face looking
back at me. The animal was completely covered in brown/redish hair that
was several inches long. I have been an avid sportsman for most of my life
and I can positively say that this animal was no dog or bear. Then the
animal stood up on two legs and stepped across the road in one step. It
began to move towards the woodline and seemed to take gigantic steps and
move at a very fast pace. It crossed a field that is at least 30-40 yards
wide in no more than 5 steps. I could plainly see both arms swinging as
it walked. When the animal stood up it was at least two feet taller than
the ton truck we were in. The animal had a large barrel chest and its head
seemed to come to a slight point on top. It had large nostrils and a wide
mouth.It seemed to happen so fast but the image of what I saw is still
very plain to me today. I have never walked in that section of the woods
again. I told my wife and children about the incident and have taken them
to the same place but I don't want to go into the woods in that area. I
never even asked my Dad if he saw anything, I figured that if he did he
would have said something to me or just thought I made it up. I know I
was young at the time, but I have no doubt as to what I saw.

Thank you for your website. I hesitate to tell anyone of my encounter because
they usually think I am crazy. While writing this I had cold chills and
bad dreams later that night. I hope this information helps.
