Deer hunter hears possible vocalizations and watches a tall dark figure near Russellville
While hunting in the late afternoon, the witness heard a loud long whoop followed by chatter apparently responding to distant shooters, then heard it again from farther along the treeline. The witness then saw a bipedal dark figure about 200 yards away walking in pines toward a break, where it stopped and crouched by a brush pile. The witness left without approaching closely and returned the next day, finding no sign but noticing an unusual odor.
Daylight sighting by hunter near the Alabama / Mississippi border
Late one afternoon in December 2002 the witness was hunting along a fenceline near home when deer ran past and the witness's dog chased them then fled. Shortly after the witness heard movement in a pine thicket and saw a tall hairy biped emerge, run down the fenceline, cross the fence while chasing the deer, and disappear downhill in under a minute without acknowledging the witness. A follow-up interview added size and appearance details and noted missing pets and livestock near the home.
Sasquatch sighting near Franklin County
The witness and his father were fishing from a small boat when they noticed something in the water. It stood up, looked at them, then walked smoothly up a steep rocky bank and disappeared over the top. Neither discussed it until years later, and the sighting changed the witness's interests.
