Summer 1975 Hancock County, Mississippi Class A #1341

Family witness a large, hair covered creature eating food from their garden.

The witness woke upstairs at night after a neighbor's dog barked and looked out a window with siblings at a garden below. They described a large human-like entity covered in dark hair squatting and eating vegetables, which looked up with glowing eyes but showed no fear. After a relative fired a gun into the air, the entity stood, ran bipedally toward nearby woods and a river, and large human-like footprints were found in the garden the next morning.
