28 July 2006 Tanner, Limestone County, Alabama Class B #15597

Possible vocalizations reported near Tanner

The witness was working on a fence near the barn after dark when she heard a disturbance in the nearby woods that sounded like a deer being caught. About half an hour later she heard a loud powerful hollering howl from the woods, then heard it again from the area of the first noise as she prepared to leave. Frightened, she backed an ATV to the house and went inside, hearing nothing further when she returned outside with her husband. She believes the sound matched Bigfoot vocalizations she had heard on television and felt it could not have come from familiar local animals.
