Spoke to the witness and he has agreed to come on the show. He said “To this day I do not know what it was.” He writes “This story comes back from 1978-79i was age 18or19. I grew up in a rural area of western KY mostly farm ground with hills, overgrown thickets and old oil field roads.
There was a wooded place that joined farm ground with a access road that led to a old oil pump jack site in a cul de sac type clearing, it was a place guys would take 4wds to try to get hung up or goof around drink beer or take girls riding at night to try scare them.one night some other guys and I drove back in this spot probably midnight or later messing around had parked trucks 3 I think and decided to walk up into the wooded area to explore which we had never done. We had lights and kind of paired up to form a sort of arrow figure point ,right flank, left flank.
I and my partner took left flank with the point pair maybe 25-30ft ahead right flank maybe 40 ft from us we could see their lights and at first going was pretty easy until we came to a section that seemed like a overgrown wall we worked thru the thick brush stopping at times to listen in the night as we had began to lose sight of the others lights but could hear them from time to time or catch a glimpse of their lights.
During one stop I can’t recall if I or my partner heard first what sounded like children playing on a school yard, we said to each other that can’t be out in this woods nothing around at 1 or 2 am. The noise seemed faint or distant but we heard them as it was a clear cool early oct.night.as we worked thru the brush some more we recognized a voice from the point shouting out CATCH OR GRAB THAT SON OF A BUCK or something close to it after which there was confusion we could others trying to run forward their lights bouncing in the night as my partner made our way forward we were sweeping the area with our light looking for movement and thinking it was one of our company pranking on us we gave chase as best we could for the growth at one point we hear a large splash soon followed by another we discovered there was a creek on this property we didn’t know was there .when my partner and I got to the creek one of the guys in point and one on right flank were climbing out we asked the point voice what he saw he said a black shape was laying down and stood up and ran.
He kept saying it’s a man, it’s a man, he was wearing a pack like a soldier he said it wasn’t particularly tall or no taller than us. We regrouped at the creek talked a bit each pair blaming the other for a prank and all denied any part we made our way back to the trucks and stood around the bed of one each going over what happened or what they saw my partner and I were the only ones to bring up the kids playing when at once we hear whomp whom whom on the side of one of the trucks behind us some including me quickly ran down to that truck but found or saw nothing still blaming each other for pranking we went back to the first truck where the others were and things began to settle back down then we hear the same beating sounding like it’s right at the truck we standing around and many of us could see the truck shake.it was enough to make everyone scramble for a truck and tear out of there as fast as we could.”
