TIME: N/A
LOCATION: Gibson County, Tennessee
TERRAIN: Wooded in spots between fields
of corn and beans.
OBSERVED:
I was
visiting my mothers house. She keeps my dog for me because I
was living very close to an interstate and my dog is large
and loves to roam. When I arrived I found that my dog was
missing. Over the past 6 months we have had two other dogs
go missing. We have ten acres that we have let grow up since
1997. Its very dense, but relatively young cedar forest.
Also there are many blackberries and old trails. Much deer
and wildlife. I made a walk around the property calling out
for my dog, and looking for remains. The only good thing
about a missing pet is not having to dig a hole. I called my
brother up to get him over to help me look for the dog. He
said he had her with him, much to my relief. The next day I
went out to walk around again. At the very back of the
property I noticed two trees had been bent over at the edge
of a trail that went deeper into the trees. They had been
done this way over night. I walked around to the other side
and there was a teepee style structure that had been erected
on the night before. I was the only human that had been down
there for these couple of days. My brother dropped my dog
back off and I let his dog off the chain and let them run.
The dogs always run strait into the woods and bark and chase
whatever is in there. They would not go anywhere close to
where the trees began. A few days later I returned, this
time going deeper into the woods down an old trail. I found
a large barefoot print. I wear a size 13 and it was about
three inches longer and much wider than my foot with my
boots on. I took my mother down to see the print. She told
me to lock all the doors that night and she makes sure
they're locked every night since. This morning is the last
day of June. I went down there this morning with my dogs. I
walked all the way into the woods. Whatever made the
structure is gone now. The dogs are still weary but not like
they were the last two weeks.
Additional Things: There are times when something calls out kind of like an owl, but its not quite right. Game cams have captured raccoons, deer, coyotes, bobcat, and even a large wild boar. I didn't think there were boar in this part of West Tennessee but there are.

Other Notes: Back in the early 80's my step father heard something scream. It disturbed him. At the time he had many rabbit dogs in a pen. They wouldn't come out for nearly a week.
