Class B First-hand BFRO #45604

Farmer cutting hay spots a human-like figure running near Tazewell

6 June 2014 close to 3pm Tazewell, Tazewell County, Virginia 1 witness

Account

The witness was cutting hay by tractor on a family farm when he looked back to re-cut a missed strip and saw a tall dark human-shaped figure running away downhill into a narrow patch of woods. He watched it for a few seconds at about 100 yards as it headed toward thicker woods toward the mountains. He later compared its height to a tall relative and estimated it at about seven feet with very long strides.
