Daylight sighting by hunter along powerline route near Newnan

17 November 2003 late afternoon/early evening, about an hour before nightfall Newnan, Coweta County, Georgia 1 witness

Account

The witness was hunting alone from a tree stand near a powerline cut when a doe ran past as if spooked. Moments later a tall, hairy, human-like figure crossed an opening in the woods in a single fast stride and disappeared. The witness heard more spooked deer running toward his position, smelled a lingering foul odor, and radioed a relative to come retrieve him.
