My cousin was 14 and I was 12.We were walking to our favorite fishing hole about 1/4 mile from his house.we had all or fishing gear with an old rayovak flashlight we only used once we had got to our fishing spot to collect our fire wood.this night, as we walked by the last house,it was on the left and was [The Bootlegger]. His dog,name King, never come out to meet us.he hated everybody,we never seen him.as we approached the trail ,to the right,we started to hear branches being broke sound like coming from our fishing spot,about 150 yrds of the road.we stood at the edge of the road,listening as this noise got closer,louder and fast,coming rite up the trail we had to go down.i ask my cousin,what is that,probably a horse or a cow.my cousin scramble to find the flashlight that was in the bottom of the bucket as we waited for what ever it was to get to the road so we could go down the trail.we wasn’t scared, just wanted it to comeown so we could go fishing.we did not have to wait long at all.it had to be running to get to us so fast and as much noise as it was making.by the time he got the light out it was there,we was standing on the outer side of the road when it stopped at the side of the road in the thick brush,trees about 20 ft tall.we could not see it but we could hear it breathing heavily.my cousin turned the light on and we could not see it.we was talking to it, coaxing it to get,we stepped to the middle if the road and still could not see it.we stepped to the edge of that side of the road and still could see it.the light was so dim,from weak batteries and the moon was so bright it over powered the flashlight so my cousin bent down to pick up a hand full of gravel to throw at it and as he bent down,the thing stepped forward.i could see all the way down to its waste.before i could say anything my cousin raised up and as he saw it,he said ruuun.we ran so hard and was screaming so sold,we was sure scared then.the bootleggers dog still did not come out after us.our fishing stuff scattered down the road and my fishing
pole broke,we made it home and told my uncle.he laughed at us and told us to go own back and
fish,they ant nothing down there to hurt us.we just scared our self.we did not fish there any more at
night.here is what we saw.with the moon behind it.big human like figure about 8ft tall,i have been by there 1000″s of times since and stopped and thought about that night.top of the head look like a big football with hair stickong up,wasn’t real long.we was only about 1o ft away.we were looking up at it and it was looking down at us.its shoulders was 4ft wide with hair sticking up all over,when it stopped where we could see it,it was out of the woods,just across the ditch.we did not have time to shine the light on we ran.no way it was a man
