Deer hunter hears then sees large hair-covered biped near the Morgan County line

23 January 2013 between 4:30 and 5pm Falkville, Cullman County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

While deer hunting in late afternoon the witness heard yipping followed by whooping, yelling and loud approaching bipedal footsteps. A large dark hair-covered biped emerged from a draw about seventy yards away, walked past at an angle, then turned upslope into brush and out of view. The figure was reportedly visible for about two minutes with travel sounds heard briefly afterward, and the site was revisited the next morning for a height comparison.
