Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee (1988)

February 1988 about 9:30 at night Tennessee 2 witnesses

Account

The guest described dogs being attacked over several nights, one killed in a gorge with two puncture wounds and no blood and another badly cut but surviving. Days later a partner taking garbage out saw a very tall ugly figure eye-to-eye from a deck. The guest heard heavy crunching footsteps in the gorge, shouted, fired a rifle into the air, and listened as it paused then jumped a high bank without breaking stride and moved away.
