Class B First-hand BFRO #58900

DOT work crew encounters growls, knocks, footprints, visual glimpse under bridge for Hwy 96 near Flint RIver

September 2010 about 9am Fort Valley, Crawford County, Georgia 7 witnesses

Account

The witness was supervising a crew clearing brush under a highway bridge in the morning. The group noticed a strange odor, heard persistent movement and muffled grunts, and watched something peeping from behind a tree. Later a skinned rabbit hung high in a tree disappeared, bare footprints larger than the workers feet were found in mud by a creek, and loud limb-breaking sounds caused the whole crew to flee.
