Class A First-hand BFRO #29326

Memory told of a nighttime encounter at close range near Blairsville

May 1994 8:30-9:00 PM Blairsville, Union County, Georgia 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were walking at night toward a house when a noise at the treeline drew their attention. One companion fled while the witness briefly watched a huge dark-haired figure step down an embankment into the road about 30 feet away, hearing a grunt and smelling a musky pine odor. Both ran to the house and dogs chased the figure, with sounds of a violent struggle including roaring and shrieks before the dogs returned, one injured and another with blood on its mouth.
