Class A First-hand BFRO #7113

Brothers have close, long sighting of "thing" in Wolf Creek

10 July 1999 around 3:00 P.M. Whitesburg, Carroll County, Georgia 2 witnesses

Account

Two brothers fishing in a wooded gorge heard a loud splash upstream and walked toward it. About 25 to 30 yards away they watched a large hair-covered human-like creature with long arms repeatedly striking the water for up to a few minutes. The creature then left up a steep bank without clearly looking at them, and the men later reported ground disturbance where it exited.
