MOUNTAIN MAN FIGHTS BIGFOOT

North Carolina “Mountain Man” Tim Peeler says he saw Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, and he has local law enforcement backing up his story.

“This thing was 10-foot tall. He had beautiful hair,” Peeler told Charlotte’s WCNC, also noting that the beast’s color of hair was blond.  He added: “He looked like he had six fingers on each hand.”

Peeler made the incredible encounter near South Mountains State park while he was using a game call to find coyote. That’s when he says Bigfoot was lured by the call.

“I come out here and rough-talked him and got him to run off,” Peeler said. “I said ‘Get away from here. Get.’” He demonstrated how he brazenly scared off the beast using a long stick.

Peeler called 911 and when a deputy arrived, he too saw Bigfoot.

“He scared me,” the deputy said. “There was an eight to 10-f00t hairy man-looking person.” Though, he later had a change of heart. He added: “It doesn’t bother me now, I don’t think there’s anything to it.”

Bigfoot has been spotted in the North Carolina mountains since the 1970’s.
