Class B First-hand BFRO #26829

Camper (active duty Marine from Cmp. Lejune) shoots at possible sasquatch and later hears moaning screams

June 2006 about 11 or 12 at night Allardt, Fentress County, Tennessee 3 witnesses

Account

Three companions were gathered at a pond bonfire late at night when one walked back toward the house alone with a shotgun. He reportedly saw eyes staring down at him off the trail, shouted, then fired all six rounds at close range before fleeing in fear. Later the reporter heard a single very loud prolonged scream from that area followed by total forest silence, and a brief morning search found almost no blood and no clear prints.
