Highway: HWY 607.
Nearby water source: Yes a pond on the left side of road and from where the creature was standing in the road.
What happened: I was coming home from a teacher's "lock in" and I had not been drinking. I saw the red eyes first and I thought who is that in the road it looked just like a redish brown hairy man! Then I started rationalizing maybe deer, hog, cow. But it was standing upright staring at me. When I got closer the thing looked at me and walked slowly and disappeared into the woods. I turned my 4x4 Suburban around and went back and did not see anything. I got out of car and looked where the "thing" had been standing, I noticed in the ditch on the other side the grass was laying down as if something had walked through. I was afraid to go to the other side. Could not sleep that night. I am an Science teacher so I had to rationalize everything so I set my alarm and went back down the road and looked again. Nothing.
Since early March my son's two yellow labs, and my house dog would bark furiously. I thought deer, hogs. When I turned on the outside light the outside cat shot in and the house dog would not go out. All of the dogs were growling in a very unfriendly way. This has happened about once every other night. I stepped out the door one evening for our 2:30ish to 3:30 ritual and I heard a screaming noise kind of like a dying rabbit, the sound was loud and sounded like high and low pitch vocal cords, I could not figure out the sound. Since then we have heard groans and screeches not on a nightly basis but multiple times during the week. Same thing dog will not go out and cat tries to get in! Very weird situation.

Activities: Driving home and singing in my car. Reflecting about the how much fun we had, not expecting or looking for anything!
Any Prior Sightings: I do not know of any other people, however, most are apprehensive to say a word. Just as I am. I have talked to another friend around the corner and she said she claimed she saw a wolf.
Any sound: No, silent but remember I had my music up really loud and there was no way I could have heard the "thing".
Odors: No was in car.
Any farms nearby: I live in an very woodsy, swamp area with hills and my ground is sugar sand. Ranching and farming around me, very rural area.

One of the investigators had spoken with this person some time back, and gave him a call to check up on him and see if anything new had happened around his house. The incident listed above was submitted by his wife, she was returning home from a late night school function and came upon something in the road. The investigator went to their home expecting to stay about 45 minutes and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours interviewing the couple regarding the events that are described above. We are planning to do a research outing in this area soon and will update this report with new details it we have anything of importance to add.
