Sasquatch sighting near Montgomery, Alabama (2022)

A couple camping in a teardrop camper practiced a box turkey call by the fire and attracted two figures that came around both sides of the camper on all fours in a swaying spider crawl. Feeling trapped, the husband recited a prayer aloud, after which the figures stopped, backed up, rose to two feet, and ran noisily away.

Scream in Alabama

Walking in with lights to a shooting hut after being dropped off, the witness went too far toward the plot and heard a piercing scream likened to a woman in a slasher film. Looking up, the witness saw two eyes on a rear road as coyotes erupted, then retreated to lock inside the hut and later told the father nothing was seen.
