Class A First-hand BFRO #33985

Daylight sighting by Paranormal Investigators at a rural cemetery near Cartersville

9 December 2011 morning Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia

Account

After a night of paranormal investigation at a remote old cemetery, the witness group walked toward a rock outcropping in the morning. They encountered two large dark-brown upright figures staring at them for about two minutes. When the group tried to approach, the figures walked away into the woods, with the smaller one lifting an infant-sized individual from tall grass onto its shoulder.
