I am not sure of what it was but here it goes. I was outside working on my central air unit. Our property is surrounded by woods. As I was trying to clean the coils of the AC unit, I started to hear what I thought was a tree falling, as there was branches snapping from up and behind me. I did not think much of it at first because I have noticed it from time to time when one does fall but, this time it was different, it just kept getting louder and louder. Well as I turned around I noticed several branches swaying about 25 foot up in the trees and noticed something about 2-1/2 ft to 3 ft tall and black falling to the ground and I heard whatever it was land. This was approximately 50 yards from me. As soon as it hit the ground this thing got the hell out of Dodge and made a lot of racket doing so. There were braches snapping and breaking, brush and leaves crunching and it just kept on going. Another thing that was weird is that when it ran, it sounded like it was upright on 2 feet, not at all like a 4 legged animal. I was stunned and shocked at what the heck I just experienced. I only saw it for a split second when it jumped or fell out of the trees because the brushy thicket at the edge of the woods was so tall it blocked the view. I did go into the woods to look for evidence and you can see where something broke up dried limbs on the ground and other debris scattered around as it made the escape. My dog was barking like crazy but could not go after it due to being behind a chain linked fence, in our back yard. I called my friend who lives about 1/4 mile down the road, and told him about what the heck just happened to me. He told me about 10 years ago that he took his daughters boyfriend deer hunting one morning. They went to opposite sides of the field to hunt. The teenager noticed something about 30 yards or so from him up in a tree with black hair, about 30 foot up the tree looking back at him. He said it leaped straight out of the tree to the ground and ran off very fast. It scared the kid so much, he quit hunting and went back to the house. He could not describe anything except that it was black and about 3 foot tall. I found it interesting that someone else has experienced something similar in the exact same area. I do not know what to think or even call it. I have tried to do a search on google but no results. I know it was not any animal that would resemble the regular wildlife. I live in middle Tennessee and there is deer, turkey, squirel,possum, coyotes, foxes and coons but this thing did not resemble any of them or even ran like they would have because it sounded as if it was bipedal and not a four legged creature. Deer are very graceful when they run and you can tell by the sounds deer makes when runnning in the woods, that it is deer. I know what four legged animals sound like in the woods when running and this thing ran on 2 legs. There have been times also late at night when I have gone out on the back deck, that I have heard what I thought was someone walking back behind our house. I have hollered out to it and the dogs have noticed it but whatever it was just wandered off. The woods are so thick back there it would take someone desperate to try and navigate it without a light source of anykind at night. Maybe it was the same thing that fell out of the tree, heck I do not know. Has anyone else experienced something like this or know of something like this happening to a friend or relative?
