Incident #992701
White Plains, Hopkins Cty, Kentucky
Nov 1995
Account
J.T. Oglesby and three friends camping the night before deer season in large hardwood forest, swamp/bottom land, known as Lonesome Woods, heard strange yelling, in three bursts, then one of them, away from the campfire, saw a creature apparently drinking from a creek at the bottom of a hill. It stood up, 8-feet tall, and he fled back to camp. Then they all heard something running through the trees and saw the silhouette of a large creature, human shaped with long arms and kind of hunched over. Sound of breaking branches and twigs amazingly loud.
