Early morning sighting by a fisherman south of Montgomery

13 April 2001 dawn, daybreak Hayneville Near Montgomery, Lowndes County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

At dawn the witness was dressing in an upstairs bedroom before fishing when he saw a large hairy figure trotting through the edge of the woods toward a cabin and across an earthen dam between ponds. The figure moved with a hunched posture for several seconds before disappearing. The witness went downstairs to check with a companion, who had been elsewhere by a boat and had not seen it.
