Sasquatch sighting near Las Cassis, Tennessee (1981)
Account
While scouting alone around a pond in a sage grass field in early fall afternoon, the witness saw a heat-like wavy distortion then a very tall brown hair-covered upright figure step from tree shade. It walked slowly across the field with long arms, bent-forward posture and odd gait, then turned to look at him conveying a strong feeling of warning before continuing. He froze, then ran home and told his grandparents, who said they believed him.
