What was observed?
A local worker went out to take measurements for glass
installation in to a new cabin that was being built in the N. Georgia Mountains
near Blue Ridge, Georgia. As the worker arrived at the structure, he noticed
two tall, hair covered creatures standing on what was the unfinished back
balcony of the cabin. By his own approximation, the tallest being was around 8’
to 8 1/2’ in height (its color was gray) while the smaller of the two was
estimated at around 6 ½’ to 7’. It was assumed that the gray one was the male and
the brown was female (however, it has been noted that he was not sure because
of the distance he was standing from them). He described both as looking very
human-like, more so than ape-like and their skin was of “olive” complexion.
The observer also stated that both of the Bigfoot stepped
over a makeshift rail and partially finished outdoor stairs and, exited in to
the woods on a slightly worn out path leading the cabin’s side. The observer was
very adamant the neither of the Bigfoot were in a hurry. After about 20 minutes, the observer worked up
the nerve to go up to the back porch of the cabin’s balcony.
Upon arrival up to the balcony level, it was at this time
when he peered over that he noticed a rutted trail that had been slightly used
and was approximately four foot wide. He proceeded to take his measurements for
a sliding glass door when he noticed something in where the living room would
be. He found an area that was full of old pine limbs, sticks, twigs and vines.
He stated that this structure some eight foot in diameter appeared to woven
together in an egg shape with a four foot hole in the middle -something akin to
and described as a “tree igloo” if you will. He could see very clearly into the
structure and he noticed what appeared to be an old doll, some candy wrappers
of various chocolates, a tin can and an old handled comb like someone would
have used back in the 1970’s. The observer noticed no smells typically associated
during and after Bigfoot encounters.
