Please describe your encounter: I was at my friends house who
lived in Erlanger and I was having transportation problems so I left and started
walking to my home in Latonia which is south Covington. It's a very long walk.
I passed the hospital by Thomas Moore College and turned onto Horsebranch Road
which leads to 3L Hghway. This road is very dark at night and no light what
so ever except near the end where there are a couple of houses. There is also
a subdivision of apartments about 1,000 feet from where you turn onto the road
on the left side of it but the apartments are up away from the road and you
can not see them. It is a little over a mile long stretch of road with nothing
but heavily wooded area on both sides of the road. Once on the Horsebranch the
temperature dropped at least 6 degrees as it is a downhill walk. As I passed
the road to the subdivision on my left only one car came up the road. I walked
maybe 1,000 feet passed the subdivision when I heard something on my right in
the woods. It wasn't making any animal sounds or anything but it sounded like
it was moving tree limbs out of its way to follow my movements down the road.
I know it sounds crazy and could've been nothing but I truely felt something
was whatching me and following me down the road. As I kept walking so did it.
I was more down the road and started to see rocks hit the road ahead of me.
I was really uncomfortable now but I had my knife in my hand and wasn't taking
my eye off that side of the road what so ever. A couple more rocks were flung
in into the road and I just kept walking faster until I got near the houses
and the end of the road. There was no one out and I didn't see anything in the
woods. I then turned onto Orphanage Road and then to 3L Highway and made my
way home. I don't know what the hell it was in the woods that night. But I wasn't
drunk or nothing so I'm sure that no matter what it was. Something or someone
was following me that night.
Describe the creature with detail: I didn't see it. I just
heard it's movements and seen that it had to be a human like creature if it
could throw rocks. But with the way it was moving threw the woods and the tree
limbs moving it had to be at least 200 pounds maybe way more. It was not a deer
I know that for sure and I'm pretty comfortable in saying that it was not a
person. People around here are not like that and there was really no where for
someone to come from to be out in the woods out there. It wouldn't make any
sense.
Area, Sounds, Etc.: Here is a google map of the road.

Your first name: Chris
Which county? Kenton
Estimated date? 11/14/06
Estimated time? 11:30 PM
What city, or nearest city? Ft. Thomas
Length of time the encounter lasted: less than a minute
How many witnesses? one eyewitness, two heard sounds
Please describe your encounter: My companion, Liz, and I were sitting on her porch smoking cigarettes and talking. There are dense woods behind her house and about 20 years of lawn between the porch and the woods and the porch light was on and cast a fair amount of light onto the lawn. We could easily see the treeline but not past the first line of trees. Shortly after we sat down we were startled by the loud crack of a limb or branch. We thought it odd but wrote it off to the natural falling of a limb. After that, because we were then aware of the sounds from the trees, noticed some rustling and the sound of someone moving around. I yelled "hey, watcha doing back there" thinking that it was kids trying to spy on us. it continued and then we heard another limb break further back in the woods (not as loud as the first). I grabbed a flashlight and walked back to the woods with the intention of looking like a tough guy and yelling at whoever was back there. When I reached the woods I stood at the treeline and shined the flashlight in and yelled "hey." it was then that I saw walking away about 40 ft in front of me what I thought was a small bear (4-5 ft tall) walking on two legs. I got really excited and shouted "HEY" to try to get it to turn around but it didn't. I freaked out and ran back to Liz and we went inside because I wasn't enough of a tough guy to keep smoking cigs outside.
Describe
the creature with detail: Looked like a small bear. About 4-5 ft tall
and walked on two legs. It was covered with hair and had a thick body. I couldnt
see much else bc it was dark.
Follow-Up:
Witness stated, 'Hair was either black or brown and looked shaggy but I couldn't
determine length. It looked like it covered the entire body. No sounds. The
only sounds we heard were the breaking of the branches and some rustling that
sounded like footsteps. As far as the head and body go: it just looked like
a bear or a short stocky person standing up and walking. The stride made it
look like it was hobbling a bit. As it was walking away all I could see was
the shaggy hair, not really any visible shape to the head. No smell. No footprints
that I could find but I didn't look real hard. There are a bunch of leaves back
there which is why we could hear it walking/rustling around. It was definitely
weird tho. Good luck with the research. I'll be keeping my eyes peels towards
those woods.'

a 7 foot tall, shaggy looking creature walked out of the woods infront of my
truck adn another truck heading the opposite direction, put it's hand on the
hood of my truck and kept walking into the wood on the other side of the road.
Describe the creature with detail: approx 7 foot, shaggy, hairy,
walking upright
Additional Info: My dog was in the truck and started acting strange
before the creature even walked out.
Follow-Up Report: Witness sounds very credible and sincere. He added
"I was going about 20 MPH, accelerating off a turn going up hill. I had
to slam on my brakes. I didn't find any prints on my hood, but it did stick
it's hand out and appeared to look at me but I couldn't make out any features.
The truck in the oncomming lane hit it's brights and I couldn't see much then.
Just a big hairy upright thing crossing the road.
