Well I was going by Beall Woods State Park in my car. A normal trip but one I really didn’t think I needed to go for a run this night. But I had to so I drove out to my site and that is where I saw him on Co Rd 1020 as big as life itself. I saw him for about a minute or two, it was at least 10′ tall and 60″ wide, he had two fingers missing from one hand because he kinda turned and shielded his eyes for a moment then as his eyes adjusted to the light of my car he looked at me and snarled bering his top teeth to me as if to say i am he now and you need to leave now as he turned and in one step he was gone in the corn stocks but i could still see his head as he walked away well just to say i have not been back there yet to check my lines
