Kayaker has rocks thrown and observes the culprit near Union Grove

Last summer the witness was kayaking down a creek around midday when rocks splashed near him. He looked toward the source and saw a creature kneeling like a person, which then stood, made eye contact for about 30 seconds, and ran through the woods. He noted its stride was wider than a human's and it went straight through brush. He then paddled back to his truck.

5 January 2000 Opelika/Auburn Area, Lee County, Alabama Class A #7427

Four youths have harrowing experience in Alabama backwoods.

Four young men camped on a companion's land and heard approaching grunts, heavy footsteps and foul odor across a creek at dusk. After a rock was thrown toward the unseen sounds, something shrieked, circled the camp and emitted a loud high-pitched scream, prompting them to leave and later return with a parent. The primary witness heard noises again overnight, and the next morning the group found large footprints, hair and a bedding area before the primary witness briefly saw a tall hair-covered upright creature that looked at him and ran away.

November 1994 Alabama #de74d18a-7286-487b-bfd7-0abb98dd433b

Sasquatch sighting in Alabama (1994)

The witness and a childhood friend drove trucks and ATVs deep into remote woods, then hiked to scout a spot for a homemade turkey blind. Two rocks came from their right, the first landing between them and the second seen in mid-air. The witness looked toward the throw and saw a large hairy biped under a white oak about 60-80 feet away from the knees up, which turned and left over a rise. They ran to the spot but it was gone, noticed a static-like charge, then hiked out uneasy.

The figure vanished when he raised the light again, and he later found the weeds mashed down where it stood.
