Class A First-hand BFRO #27955

Man recalls his sighting of a bigfoot near Lawrenceburg

November 1982 late afternoon around 4pm Lawrenceburg KY, Franklin County, Kentucky 4 witnesses

Account

The witness and three companions entered unfamiliar woods to look for mistletoe and walked east along a logging road. Agitated cattle and a bull staring toward a large tree drew their attention, and they saw a very large bipedal creature covered in light brown hair leaning from behind the tree. The group shouted and ran about 300 yards south out of the woods and did not return there.
