Sasquatch sighting near Telfair County (2019)

The witness went to a wildlife management area to scout for hogs with his dog. Near water he smelled a strong dead-like odor and then noticed a dark-haired bipedal creature about 80 feet away beside a tree. The creature looked between the witness's shotgun and his face, and after the witness raised an empty hand the creature stepped behind the tree and walked away. The dog had disappeared during the encounter but was waiting at the truck, and the witness felt ill and disturbed afterward.

Golfers watch large animal jump from a tree outside Tallulah Falls

Two companions playing golf drove up to the 17th green in the afternoon and saw a tan, 6-foot animal leap outward from a high tree branch nearby. It landed hard with a loud thud that shook the tree and moved into low undergrowth, where it was heard taking a few steps before stopping and staying hidden. The witnesses felt it was too large, heavy, and tailless to be a mountain lion or bear and suggested it could have been a juvenile Sasquatch.

LEO recalls his daylight sighting as a youth with his horses NW of Atlanta

The witness was spending time with horses in a fenced pasture next to extensive woods when movement in brush near the barn drew attention and the horses ran toward the house. Thinking the partly obscured shape outside the fence might be a horse, the witness walked toward it and then saw a tall upright figure covered in reddish hair that grunted, looked at the witness, then pushed through small trees and brush leaving the area with loud heavy footsteps. The witness ran to the house and told relatives who were inside.

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

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.

7 June 1978 Oglethorpe, Macon County, Georgia Class A #32435

Memories told of activity over several years at a family home near Oglethorpe

A family living in a rural wood-frame home reported repeated nighttime visits over several years by two large hair-covered bipeds, one larger and one smaller. The creatures were said to peer in windows, mimic an infant's sounds, produce a strong septic odor, throw heavy tanks, damage a vehicle, and leave hair on the house. Livestock on surrounding farms were found dead with intestines removed. After the father fired through a wall at one creature, only the smaller one was reportedly seen, and activity lessened after relatives guarded the house and a protective ritual was performed.

BFRO YEAR: 04-present Jackson, Butts County, Georgia Class A #31888

Scary encounters outside a rural home near Jackson

Around 2 a.m. under a full moon, the witness awoke to grunting and snapping trees and saw a large hair-covered figure striking and eating a deer, then dragging it uphill. The figure approached the tent, giving off a strong musky odor and knocking a frying pan from a tree before leaving. In the morning the witness found deer remains, drag marks, and a shelter-like structure of bent and broken pines.

Sasquatch sighting near Resaca, Georgia

As a young child sharing a bedroom, the witness woke to see a tall hairy female-like face at the window across from her bed. The figure tapped on the glass and motioned for her to come outside, then moved to a second window behind her head and tapped there. The next morning plants and shrubs outside the first window were found crushed, and her grandfather called police.
