Encounter::<\/div>\n

\n

Hunting on Cobble Mountain, 12\/94, area is under Military control made\u00a0references to Army Helicopters picking up ice fishermen and the like.\u00a0Witness came upon what he thought was a Deer, and it seems like the 2\u00a0creatures he encountered were setting up an ambush for a deer. The
\nfirst one he saw was estimated at 9 feet and dark furred, got a good\u00a0look at the creature covered with hair except for face, backs of hand\u00a0and feet.\u00a0The 9 footer made a few gestures at him before calling out to the\u00a0smaller one, 6-7 footer, lighter hair, ran notably faster than the\u00a0larger one, “faster than a deer’, but ran like a human, had a face like\u00a0a human, not an ape. Witness claims the two creatures exclaimed\u00a0vocalizations of multiple types, including “whoops”. Finally the larger one pointed at the witness and the two creatures ran off in opposite\u00a0directions away from the witness.\u00a0 He claimed he felt they didn’t want to be followed and he left. He also\u00a0claimed he wants to return to the area, but will not alone. He was\u00a0afraid they would “Flank him” (hunting lingo?), and then cited some\u00a0pieces of local folklore wherein people in the woods in the area were\u00a0found dead by means of having their necks broken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Witness claimed that he had experienced this at the end of shotgun season in 1994, thought in
\nDecember, and that he was only able to talk about it in the last few years. The witness was able to give\u00a0detailed descriptions of the two creatures that he saw and wasn’t sure but felt there might even have\u00a0been three, but didn’t see any other than the two. He seemed to have educated himself on the local\u00a0folklore of the Cobble Mountain area regarding potential activity and cited several examples. I will post\u00a0an addendum to this report with some of that material and will hopefully get a chance to research some\u00a0of the stories to see if I can find references to them in newspapers and like sources. I have mixed\u00a0feelings about the report to be honest, but will keep an open mind until such a time as I have a chance\u00a0to reconnoiter the area myself and see the nature of the area. Follow up: This one just doesnt add up,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Field Investigation Findings:<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Initially was skeptical, after scouting the area, it is viable habitat and is largely closed off by the Water Department, and there seems a history of sporadic activity here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
