Class B First-hand BFRO #24451

Two friends have a possible nighttime sighting on a rural road outside Madison

October 2001 about 9-11 pm Carlton, Clarke County, Alabama 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions were riding on a dirt road at night when their headlights illuminated a tall, dark bipedal figure standing in the road. The figure dropped what it was holding and leapt into the adjacent woods. The witnesses stopped and found a half-eaten rabbit at the spot, noticed a musky odor, and found no tracks on the hard-packed ground before leaving.
