Investigator's Observations
Investigator(s): Daryl Colyer
This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred in Polk County, on the Alabama-Coushatta Reservation in April 2005.
I have spoken to the witness about this encounter. The event was described as occurring in the early morning while he was on his way to work; he rides a bicycle to work. It is one of several recent events in the area that may be related to sasquatch activity.
It was the witness's impression that the animal seemed to be stalking or shadowing him as he rode his bicycle. He could hear much noise just inside the woodline to include branches being snapped and broken, as well as loud grunting noises for a length of 100 yards or so.
