Couple observers possible bigfoot eyeshine near road on north boundary of Pearlington

The witness and a companion were driving at night in a swamp buffer zone when they noticed eyeshine in the fork of an oak tree.

Frightened, they drove past without checking behind the tree and saw nothing on the return pass.

Sasquatch sighting in Mississippi (2020)

The witness was deer hunting alone from an elevated stand off a power line in a state wildlife management area on a December afternoon. After hearing heavy breathing and movement, the witness observed a large black hairy human-like figure first on all fours then sitting and standing. The figure vocalized in gibberish-like speech, screamed, grunted, approached to about 30 yards and remained for an extended period before tearing vegetation and moving off. While the witness fled toward a truck, movement paralleled the witness in the woods while vocalizations continued behind, suggesting a second individual, and the witness fired a shot in the air before driving away.
