Adolescent child has early morning sighting near Chatsworth

1 January 2010 about 7:20 AM CHATSWORTH, Murray County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

The witness stood on a back step calling for a dog and looked over a tall kennel. A large hairy creature with reddish-brown hair was partly visible behind the kennel, showing part of its head and a long arm. The witness estimated it was about 7 feet tall because it stood taller than the kennel, then heard landing thumps and ran back inside.
