Incident #992700
Overton Cty, Tennessee
1972
Account
Jerry went to sleep after a night out, in the car in an open garage under the house. He woke up when something rocked the car violently up and down. Light was on, and looking out the back window he was face to face with a very large head with glowing red eyes and a long, wide mouth. Except the face the creature was covered with long very dark brown hair. Its shoulders and arms were huge and its large hands were pushing down on the upper trunk area of the car. Later big handprints were found in dust on the car and smeared "footprints" on the back bumper.
