Couple on their porch observe a tall biped chase a deer near Chilhowie
Account
A couple sitting on their front porch watched a large dark figure crouched at the treeline. When a deer darted out, the figure stood on two legs and chased the deer back into the woods with fast, graceful motion. The next evening they compared the husband at the same spot and estimated the figure at 7.5 to 8 feet tall.
