Night time sighting of a white creature near Kelso

16 July 2003 between 10:30pm and 11:30pm Kelso, Lincoln County, Tennessee 3 witnesses

Account

Late at night at a wooded residence, a child went outside to tend a car, heard strange vocalizations and saw a white figure, then ran inside. A young man then shone a flashlight toward the woods, saw a large white furry bipedal creature, fired a shot, and the creature stumbled then fled on two legs while others watched from the porch and trees were heard breaking.
