Witness recalls a possible daytime sighting while 4-wheeling as a youth west of Nashville

October 1988 approximately 2 hours before dark Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding an ATV on a logging road with his stepbrother riding behind him when a tall hair-covered biped dashed across the road directly in front of them. The figure cleared the logging road in about two steps and disappeared into thick brush on the other side. The witness sped away in fear and the passenger did not see the figure. The witness later returned to the spot but found no tracks or odor, only a seldom-used path through the brush.
