A few years later (2013), I camped in a tent on the same property, but a few miles from the cave, close to the house that sits on the farm. In the middle of the night, I started hearing a pack of coyotes howling in the distance. This was a little unusual to hear as at that time, because there was not a big coyote population in Jackson County. I went to sleep and was awakened by that same low growling I had heard years before. I knew it was the same creature I had come face to face with years earlier. As soon as it started getting light I packed up and got out of there. Since then, my great uncle told me a story about hearing strange yells coming from the valley below his house at night. He has lived here his whole life, and said,"he had heard every animal in the woods, but had never heard anything like this." He said "it made the hair on the back of his neck stand up!" The local sheriff also told a story about him chasing one across his property, and tracking it for awhile, until the trail went cold. That same morning his neighbor close by said she had seen it at daybreak when she went out to feed her cat.
I hope these accounts help you in your research. I just wanted someone
to know what is going on here in Jackson County. Keep up the good work,
I really enjoy your videos.”
I called the witness. He was very articulate, calm and matter-of-fact on the phone. It is my belief that Glenn is a very sincere and credible witness. He never embellished his story when asked specific details. Glenn was 33 years old at the time of the encounter. The
moon was directly behind the creature so unfortunately Glenn could not
make out any details of the face. In addition, Glenn almost immediately
looked down, as if an innate voice in his head said not to make eye
contact. Glenn said he was never really afraid, for he felt like the
creature was not going to harm him. After just a few seconds, Glenn
sort of side-stepped to his right and headed back inside the cave. Remaining
calm in the face of danger can sometimes be beneficial, as in this case.
The mouth of the cave was not directly behind the creature, it was to
the creature’s left. The creature never moved nor made another
sound. When asked if it smelled, Glenn said no. Glenn thinks the creature
walked up a path from the watering hole. He said, “I would have
never have known it was there, until it made that first growl.”
Glenn is 6’1” and had to look up at the creature so he thinks
it was 8 foot tall. Its shoulders were very wide and long arms hung
down by its side. I asked if the hair was long, matted, bushy or seemed
groomed due to it being backlit by the moon. He thinks more groomed,
or rather not obviously long or bushy. Glenn said it was only 8-10 feet
from him and it could have easily grabbed him! Needless to say, he did
not sleep the rest of the night, keeping an eye on the mouth of the
cave. There are actually two openings to the cave, one overlooks the
watering hole. -
