Lafeyette, Walker Cty, Georgia
Aug 1998
Account
Informant and girlfriend drove into hilly and rocky area of hardwoods, pine and cedar, for a campfire late at night. At 1 a.m. they heard a loud, high-pitched scream, then he saw a large bulky figure, head, arms, torso and legs, standing in a trail 30 yards away in the moonlight. Looked away thinking it might be a tree, and when he looked back it was gone. It screamed again and they left.
