Class B First-hand BFRO #40542

Possible vocalization brings attention to a large figure just outside a home near Uriah

February 2012 0100-0200 Uriah, Monroe County, Alabama 1 witness

Account

Around 1-2 a.m. the witness went to retrieve bags from a car near a carport and heard a snorting grunt. Backlit by a carport light, he saw a large wide shape that vocalized again, circled with him as he retrieved a rifle, then left toward the woods. Next morning he found disturbed ground suggesting large bipedal steps.
