Two deer hunters observe upright walking biped near Tallassee

14 December 2004 about 4:30 p.m. Tallassee, Blount County, Tennessee 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions deer hunting walked toward their vehicle when they heard a low rumble and splashes at a drinking hole. They then watched an upright grayish-brown creature for about a minute as it lingered and walked over a ridge out of sight. They described it as 7 to 8 feet tall, heavily built with very long arms, and insisted it never dropped to all fours like a bear.
