Fall 2003 Virginia/Isle of Wight county

In the fall, of 2002, I was working for Smithfield Packing Company. I had to travel back and forth between our plant in Smithfield, Va and the one in Bladen County, NC. I had stayed all night the night in North Carolina, on Monday, and left the NC plant about 6pm Tuesday heading home to Smithfield. Around 10:30pm I started down the final road of the journey, state road 620, a side road/cut through road between Courtland and Smithfield. About 28 miles between the two locations. After you cross 460 there is about another 12 miles left. On that drive runs the Blackwater River, about 2 miles on the road. Now it was the end of a very long day, and I was driving tired, what happened next woke me very much! At the river, I saw something very strange. It was actually off to my right only about 10 feet off the road. But the night was clear, a full moon, so I got a good 10-15 second look! What I saw was a large man, at least that was first thought, but oddly enough he was not wearing any clothes! I thought he was very tall, at least 7 foot, that was initial thought.. maybe more like 7.5 to 8 feet. He didn't seem to be in hurry by any means. I did not get a good look at his face, what I thought was it was just a very large man walking down the river bottom. He was covered with very, very dark hair, literally all over his body, that I could see. I traveled on down the road toward the plant. I have never told anyone about it, even my wife and kids. But, believe me, I was rattled! Remembering the incident, clearly like I do to this day, I believe it was a Sasquatch. I heard stories at the plant (Smithfield) about the Blackwater swamp man, but I never believed them, and now some 20 yrs later, I can confirm, at least to myself it was Squatch. SPJ
