The witness was turkey hunting in a different area and saw hens on a peaceful evening. While walking out on a county road bordered by fields and honeysuckle he heard bushes shake, a grunt and loud stopping footsteps. He briefly saw a figure moving fast tree to tree off the road, ran to his truck after crossing water where the sounds stopped, and had no further incidents.

They observed a large upright creature crossing a road on thermal, approaching to about 90 feet, then fleeing into a thicket where facial details were seen.

Vocalization in Kentucky

The witness walked alone to his deer stand before dawn on opening day on his Kentucky property. About 20 feet into the woods he heard a grunt followed by a powerful roar that vibrated through him and froze him, then a second similar call nearby, indicating two animals. He stood motionless for several minutes, then eased away and waited in his stand until daylight. Days later he glimpsed a large gray head at the woods edge and later found a buck with a shattered leg and torn hip, and the next summer heard a frenzied coyote chorus end in sudden silence.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky

The guest recalls a night when several armed men waited on the farmhouse roof. After hours they heard a dog yelp, saw eyeshine and heard a bone chilling growl, then fired dozens of shots with deer slugs.
