Class A First-hand BFRO #2391

Strange noises followed by strong odor and glimpse of large bipedal animal

July 1991 about 9:00 PM Lewisburg, Logan County, Kentucky 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion arrived home at night and heard a loud roaring scream twice from a nearby hillside. The witness took a light and walked toward the woods without it on, smelling a strong foul odor and hearing branches breaking. When the flashlight was turned on, the witness briefly saw a tall, large, hairy bipedal animal fleeing through the woods. Broken branches and ground disturbance were found the next day.
