Motorist sees a tall man-like figure standing in a field at dawn near Cedartown

At dawn while driving to work, the witness scanned a pasture for deer and saw a tall man-shaped figure standing in grass about 30 yards from the road. The upper body and head were visible above roughly 3-foot grass, with an estimated total height of about 8 feet. The witness continued about a quarter-mile before being able to stop and return, by which time the figure was gone without a visible trail, and after watching several minutes continued to work.

Dusk sighting in the middle of the road by a husband and wife while driving outside Cedartown

The witness and his wife were driving home at sunset when a large dark figure crouched in their lane. They braked as headlights lit it, and it stood to about eight feet, covered its face, then stepped over a fence post and ran toward the woods. Both occupants smelled a strong foul odor like garbage or a dead animal.

Possible daylight sighting, rock throwing and missing goats on rural property outside Aragon

At noon on a clear day, two men standing on high ground overlooking a pond watched a tall, black hair-covered biped walk through pines behind the pond for about 100 feet. They estimated its height at 8-9 feet using a 4-foot fence for scale and said it walked casually without noticing them. When it should have entered an open clearing it was gone, and a search of the area found no trace.

Possible stalking of hunters on the AL state line near Cedartown GA

Two companions were deer hunting in forest land in the fall and regrouped at their vehicle after one found a freshly torn-apart deer carcass. While examining the carcass they reported a feeling of being watched and a strong odor described as wet dog mixed with rotting garbage. As they walked back to the vehicle near dark they heard something moving parallel in the undergrowth, then heard a loud scream from very close range, prompting them to fumble with their unloaded guns and leave quickly.
