Sighting
Details
Posted By: : Charles
Sighting Timeframe: 12/8/2000
County: Rockingham County
Location: Rawley Springs, by Harrisonburg
Activities: hunting in tree-stand
Witnesses: Self
Setting: While in the tree stand I heard the sounds of dogs barking on side of the mountain. It sounded like they we chasing something down towards me. I could hear the sounds of something breathing hard but could not see what it was. Whatever it was stopped in heavy brush and came into my view. It stepped into a clearing 70 yards away from my location. I said to myself “what the hell is it”! That’s when I saw a massive brown creature that stood on two legs. The color was like a cardboard box in color, just a little darker. I would say the thing was about 6 to 7 feet tall. I wanted to get a better look at the creature so I raised my rifle to draw a bead through the scope. As soon as I looked at the creature it turned and looked back at me. It surprised me as much as it did him. The creature then took off running. I went down to where it was a few minutes later to see if there were any prints. None were found. Soon after the dogs and two city boys came down from the mountain. They were not normal hunters, they were wearing street shoes, not boots. They asked if I saw anything come by here and I said no. They continued on and I left the area. I have heard of other such sighting in the area but never thought much of them until now.
Physical Description: 6 to 7 feet tall, brown in color
