Sasquatch sighting near Marshall County
Account
As a boy about thirteen or fourteen, a neighbor hunted from a hackberry limb with a single-shot 20-gauge and saw a four and a half to five foot monkey-like animal moving hunkered with head side to side. When it winded him it locked eyes, showed teeth and came toward him making noise. He shot it in the chest, heard a thump and monkey-like screaming and rolling, then ran home firing behind him while his father heard the screaming from the house.
