Incident #992688
McCombe, Amite Cty, Mississippi
1977 to 1978
Account
Patrick Theriot, then a teenager, in woods near family farm, had crossed a barbed wire fence by a road. Returing a half hour lateer found the fence partially knocked down and several humanlike footprints two to three inches longer and two inches wider than his 12D boots. The tracks came from the woods to the road then back to the woods. About four years earlier family had heard a scream at night, and two years after that Patrick and a cousin smelled a strong odour and heard a scream. Later pigs were killed and their heart and liver removed, and pear trees were stripped of all fruit. A year after the footprint find Patrick had a sighting, 2689. Time of year for both prints and sighting was "fall/winter", so these have been split betwen the two reports.
