Two squirrel hunters have sighting near Shoal Creek
Account
Two people driving to find a squirrel hunting area saw an animal in a field that first looked like a deer. The animal moved quickly away, then stood and moved on two legs with long arms swinging before walking into distant woods. The witnesses were speechless at the time and later concluded it must have been a bigfoot.
