Class B First-hand BFRO #43963

Two large hairy figures spottied at dawn outside Blountsville

Fall 1998 about 5:30 am Blountsville, Blount County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

Early one morning the witness was on the porch seeing a companion off to work when she noticed two large hair-covered creatures sitting by a stump between properties. She screamed, and before the companion could turn around both creatures sprang up and fled into the woods in a fraction of a second. She described them as light to medium brown and very broad-shouldered with arms reaching the ground while seated, but she could not discern faces or standing height.
