Class A First-hand BFRO #25440

Man recalls multiple witness encounter near Hendersonville

BFRO YEAR: 1965-66 between 10:00pm and midnight Hendersonville, Sumner County, Tennessee 6 witnesses

Account

Six people arriving by car at a new house at the edge of a subdivision saw a tall hair-covered man-like figure digging in a trash can at the end of the driveway. Under the headlights it looked toward them, then strode and loped away bipedally with a very long stride without dropping to all fours. After a companion retrieved a gun the figure was gone, and a neighbor's normally aggressive barking dog was found silent, frightened and hiding under a deck.
