Man observes sasquatch looking at him along Highway 92 near Pine Knot

20 February 2003 about 8:30 pm Pine Knot, KY. And Williamsburg, McCreary County, Kentucky 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving at night when movement beside the road caused them to slow, thinking it might be a deer. Up close they described a tall gray hair-covered figure near the tree line with large reddish-reflecting eyes that repeated arm movements before walking into the woods. The frightened witness drove away to a relative's house to calm down.
