Sasquatch sighting near Piedmont, Alabama (2024)

The witness, working as a process server, made a fourth early-morning attempt to serve papers at a rural property. From inside the locked car she saw a very large black hair-covered standing figure and a much smaller gray emaciated figure with an antler-like object on its head about 50 yards away. She took photos while feeling frozen, then backed out and drove away quickly. Later review of the photos appeared to her to show additional figures including a female holding an infant and faces near a shed and tree line.

Hunters observe creature walking in the woods
