Man sees chocolate-colored Sasquatch exit woods and cross field near Globe Road in Lewisburg

1 February 1985 mid morning, about 10:00 am Lewisburg, Marshall County, Tennessee 1 witness

Account

The witness, then 14, stepped outside at home mid-morning and saw a solid milk-chocolate-colored bipedal figure emerge into a field. The figure turned at the waist to look at the witness, then continued walking uphill out of sight over about 30 seconds. The witness later estimated its height at about 7 to 7.5 feet using a nearby tree limb and estimated its weight at several hundred pounds.
