1984 GEORGIA SIGHTING

Date: July 1984

Time: 1:00 p.m.

Location: Franklin Ga. where the Chatahoochie crosses through.

Heavily wooded for miles. Farmland type surroundings.

Activity: Fishing with two friends

Witnesses: Ronnie and Mike. Don't have permission to use last
names. I had made plans to go fishing with a couple of my friends,
Ronnie and Mike. Mike had suggested going to the river in Franklin
because he had been there before and said it was a good place to
fish and we agreed. We got to the location and Mike told us about
the dirt road that runs along the river. We took the dirt road and
went down about a mile or so before we reached the spot Mike was
telling us about. We grabbed our poles off the back of the truck and
began fishing. After a while of not having any luck, I decided I
wanted to walk down the road a little further and try my luck there. I
told Mike and Ronnie that I would be back later. I started on my way
down the road and got about 150 yards away when I realized there
was no sound at all coming from the woods. No animal sounds like
you would expect to hear when you walk in the woods. About the
same time I had the strangest feeling come over me like I was being
watched, but I just blew it off. I've been in the woods many times
while deer hunting and never had I felt that way before. But I
continued on and as I got about another 50 yards down the road, I
saw some tracks that came from the woods onto the road. As I got
closer to the tracks, I realized that they looked human. The only
difference was they were huge. I put my foot in the middle of one of
the tracks and it swallowed my foot completely. I wear a size 11
boot but these tracks were about 3 inches longer and about 2
inches wider than my boot. I was totally amazed at what I was
seeing. I turned around to look back to see if I had left any tracks of
my own and I didn't. The ground was very compacted and it would
take something with tremendous weight to leave tracks with the
road in that condition. That's when I started getting a little upset and
wondered if that was what or who had been watching me. I turned
around and started on my way back to get Ronnie and Mike. When I
got there I told them to put down their poles and come take a look.
We went back to the sight where I had turned around. They saw the
tracks and began to look around of each side of the road. We didn't
see any thing so we followed the tracks about 25 yards on the dirt
road. The tracks headed straight back into the woods. We stopped
for a moment where the tracks lead into the woods. Then all of a
sudden we heard this crashing through the trees. Whatever it
was,was HUGE. I never got to see what or who it was but I believe
by those tracks that it was definitely a bigfoot creature.
