Man recalls multiple witness encounter near Hendersonville

Six people arriving by car at a new house at the edge of a subdivision saw a tall hair-covered man-like figure digging in a trash can at the end of the driveway. Under the headlights it looked toward them, then strode and loped away bipedally with a very long stride without dropping to all fours. After a companion retrieved a gun the figure was gone, and a neighbor's normally aggressive barking dog was found silent, frightened and hiding under a deck.

Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee

Behind the first woven structure in dense summer foliage, the witness saw a reddish-backed small creature rise and run on all fours with a flat gliding motion.
