Sasquatch sighting near Athens, Georgia (1973)
1973–1974
after dark
Athens, Georgia
3 witnesses
Account
Three youths fished at a river inside a large fenced cemetery and walked back after dark. Each looked to the side and saw large shoulders, hands gripping an oak tree, and a head peering around it. All three fled, one jumping the fence and passing out, and later agreed on what they had seen.
