Sighting by duck hunters in swamp area within Tuskegee National Forest

28 January 2007 around 3:30 in the afternoon Tuskegee, Macon County, Alabama 2 witnesses

Account

Two people walking to a swamp for duck hunting in the Tuskegee National Forest saw a tall dark bipedal figure crossing a beaver dam. The figure was described as black from head to toe and moving quickly toward the woods, apparently carrying a large object, without acknowledging them. They watched for about 20 seconds from about 120-130 yards away and then ended the hunt.
