Close, daylight sighting of a Bigfoot west of Cullasaja Falls
Account
The witness rounded a boulder in forest highlands and came face-to-face with an unidentified standing figure about 10 feet away. The two stared briefly before the figure ran off into the woods. The witness then examined where it had stood, comparing a track to his own large foot and estimating the figure at over eight feet tall.
