Class A First-hand BFRO #21193

Daylight sighting by motorist from Jimmy Witherow Bridge

1 August 2007 about 3 in the afternoon Dalton, Whitfield County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving across a bridge over a river in the afternoon when a fallen tree caught his attention. Looking toward the river, he saw a dark, hairy, human-faced figure standing in the water watching his vehicle. He first thought it was a bear but concluded it lacked a snout and had human-like features, and he kept driving without stopping.
