LOCATION:
Harrison County Mississippi
TERRAIN:
Thick wooded creek bottom
OBSERVED:
I stopped on the side of the road just before the bridge crossing XXXXXX
creek. There is a nice flat area of dirt where I thought I might find some
tracks. While walking down to the creek bottom I noticed a Crabapple tree
that was full of fruit. I grabbed the tree and began to shake it with some
force , ( I wanted to try some of the Crabapples). Just as I rose with
one of them , I heard a very distinctive WHACK of wood against what sounded
like a
hardwood
tree. This noise might have passed unnoticed except that it sounded very
deliberate. This worried me a little. i started back to the safety of my
truck when I heard it again , but more distinctly. I knew now that it was
deliberate for sure. Having already read many of the entries on your site
I KNEW what this was! At this point I began to try and mimic the various
calls that I had heard on your site. I tried everything from hoots to "Samurai
gibberish" . I was answered every 3 or 4 minutes with this moderately aggressive
knock on a tree. This went on for about 30 minutes. He responded to my
calling , and some rock throwing with a good healthy whack on a tree. there
were about 14 whacks over the 30 min period. After a while , he stopped
responding , and I thought perhaps he had left. To see if I could get a
response, I hurled an old broken electric razor into the woods about half
way between him and me. THAT'S IT!!! He must have thought , because at
this point he went crazy. Over the next 25 seconds or so he broke in half
no less than 4 large trees. I could not believe what I was seeing was being
done by an animal! It was just as though a piece of heavy equipment was
coming through the woods. He was SPLITTING THESE TREES IN HALF!!! At this
point a local man of about 80 years drove up. By this time the show was
over. i tried to explain to him what I saw , but I don't think he believed
me. I hope to go back with one of the researchers from this site.

Additional
Notes and or Follow up Comments:
GCBRO FIeld Researcher Follow Up -
I accompanied the witness from this encounter back to the site. No definitive
evidence, but everything I saw and everything he said jibed with his story,
and it's clear he is sincere and level-headed. The witness has just retired
and has lots of free time and seems to be willing to do extensive travelling
to investigate sightings, He has also invested in night-vision and thermal
imaging equipment. He's done his homework and he's very enthusiastic.
