Sasquatch sighting near Dayton, Tennessee (1960)
1960–1969
Dayton, Tennessee
Account
After hogs kept disappearing, a relative and companions kept watch over the pen to catch the thief. A gorilla-like figure loped from the woods, stepped over the fence, seized a hog by its legs and slung it over its shoulders. The watchers were too frightened to shoot for fear it would turn on them.
