Daylight observation remembered of a Bigfoot holding a baby pig near Andalusia

10 October 1978 morning Andalusia, Covington County, Alabama 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was picking up pecans in the yard with her young daughter in the morning when she heard pigs squealing from the neighbor's pen. She looked toward the wooded back yard and saw a large erect hairy creature with a human-like face holding a baby pig against its chest. After staring at each other, she grabbed her daughter and ran inside shouting for her husband to get his gun, but the creature was gone when he went out to check.
