Class A First-hand BFRO #2435

Several people witness 7 to 8 foot tall creature on an old mining road

October 1994 Virgie, Pike County, Kentucky 8 witnesses

Account

A group of eight people were raccoon hunting with dogs when the dogs returned frightened with tails tucked. Shortly after starting to drive out, they saw a huge standing figure ahead of the truck estimated at 7.5 to 8 feet tall and dark in color. After backing up and later returning on foot, they found a large human-like footprint in mud in the road. They heard sticks breaking, left quickly, later returned to find the track destroyed by their vehicle, and subsequent visits produced no further sightings.
