"It was covered with thick black fur and was slimmer than the popular Bigfoot image, almost skinny with a neck. Also protruding on either side of its head were long tapered "horns" also black in color."
During the early afternoon of June 18, 1997, near Johnson City, Tennessee, the witness and his cousin were out hunting and were sitting on the side of the wall of a rather large hollow which consisted of very thick underbrush and lots of evergreen. A larger valley then leads first to a clearing and then on to a supposed old Indian graveyard. All of a sudden they heard the brush in the hollow below rattling and they could tell that whatever was making the sounds was rather large.
The main witness was armed with a Ruger 10-22 rifle with approximately 150 rounds of ammo ready to go. Under his night vision scope, he could see what appeared to be a man, but upon further inspection, he realized that the "man" was a creature about 7-8 feet tall approximately 450 lbs. It was covered with thick black fur and was slimmer than the popular Bigfoot image, almost skinny with a neck. Also protruding on either side of its head were long tapered "horns" also black in color. On the top of the head also protruded a horn pointing straight up. All horns were approximately 5-6 inches in length and were the same dark color as the creature.
The terrified witness emptied a 25-round clip into the creature and then retreated into a nearby cabin about 65 ft away. The next morning they could not find anything except for lots of spent shell casings and bullet holes on a walnut tree. He thought he had struck the creature several times. Nearby animal traps had been sprung and all the bait extracted. On a nearby ridge, the witnesses located a series of tunnels made up of brush and various sizes of tree limbs, vines, and leaves. They thought it could have been "the lair of the beast." Afraid they returned home.
