Two hunters witness a 7 foot tall creature walk across an old logging trail

Fall 1992 Cannon County, Tennessee 2 witnesses

Account

Two witnesses hunting from tree stands heard something moving noisily in brush about 50 yards away. They then watched a large hairy creature walk across an old logging trail before it ran off through the forest, possibly after smelling them. After climbing down after dark they found no footprints but noted damaged undergrowth.
