Man recalls encounter with 7 foot tall creature on grandparents farm

1960–2010 late afternoon, almost sunset LaGrange, Troup County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

When the witness was about 10, he was walking back toward the farmhouse on his grandfather's farm late on a winter afternoon. About 80 yards away he saw a tall, hair-covered ape-like figure standing still and staring at him with yellow eyes. Terrified, he ran about a quarter-mile to the house without telling his grandfather at the time. He later came to believe the creature was a real Bigfoot and linked it to livestock deaths found near the swamp.
