Daylight sighting by farmer (and children) plowing field next to the Yadkin River
Account
A child riding on a tractor with a parent at dusk reported a large hair-covered figure stepping into the tractor lights near a tobacco barn. The figure reportedly paused to look at the riders, then left the road in a single long step into adjacent woods. The parent briefly followed on foot and later searched with a hunting firearm but reported finding nothing.
