NEAREST TOWN: Between Trenton Tennessee and Dyersburg Tennessee

NEAREST ROAD: Highway 104

OBSERVED: I was driving on Highway 104 between Trenton Tn and Dyersburg Tn . We were headed home. There is a large wooded area as you are in Dyer county and Gibson county . I look to my left glancing at the woods just before the river. I did a double take. Told my wife and my son, "You wont believe what I just saw!"

I estimate it to be about 7-8 ft in high. I didn't stop because a vehicle was behind me.

I have went over it several times in my head to what I saw. There are no bear here and it wasn't a human or anything else I have seen. That's my sighting.

ALSO NOTICED: no

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 were with me but we're not looking that way.

ENVIRONMENT: 4 pm afternoon sunny . Good weather

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker:

I spoke with the witness by phone. His surname is Powell. His nickname and CB handle is "Lightning". He is a woodworker and fence builder. He lives in Tatumville, less than 5 miles from the location of the sighting. He is married and has four grown boys. His wife and one of his boy was with him in the vehicle when the sighting occured but they didn't see the figure. He only saw it for a few seconds as it took a few strides in the direction of the river.

Although his observation was brief the witness was very certain about what he saw. He is confident that it was not a person. It was 30 yards from the edge of the road. It was tall and covered with dark fur. He had a side view of it and said it had noticeably long arms.

He doubts that a person would be walkiing in that bottom so close to that creek because it is "so full of snakes." Snakes may actually be an important food source for sasquatches.
