Farmer cutting hay spots a human-like figure running near Tazewell
The witness was cutting hay by tractor on a family farm when he looked back to re-cut a missed strip and saw a tall dark human-shaped figure running away downhill into a narrow patch of woods. He watched it for a few seconds at about 100 yards as it headed toward thicker woods toward the mountains. He later compared its height to a tall relative and estimated it at about seven feet with very long strides.
