Legend speaks of an ape-like creature who called Upper Cleveland County home in the late 1970s. Robert Williams, then covering the news for Charlotte media outlets, named him "Knobby," a towering beast many considered as the resident Bigfoot. Williams never saw Knobby — "I only wrote what I was told." Knobby stories flew overseas, Williams said, drawing interest from New Zealand and beyond. Newspaper articles from 1979 detail more than a dozen Knobby sightings and investigations by the North American Research Association and researchers from a university in Massachusetts. But the rumors and sightings near Carpenter's Knob — hence the creature's name — mysteriously stopped decades ago. Then, Timothy Peeler called 911... Full story: www.shelbystar.com

'It's the truth' : Tim Peeler speaks on spotting sasquatch, national attention and more CASAR — His "rough talking" made it onto late-night television. And his drawings were reported in Romania. But Tim Peeler doesn't want the limelight. "It sort of scares me in a way," said Peeler, who reported a Bigfoot sighting outside his Vanada Drive home earlier this month. "It sort of worries me. But it will die down. It'll play out." Peeler called 911 June 5 when he supposedly spotted a sasquatch messing around near South Mountain. The story, first broke by The Star, spread to CNN, AOL, MSNBC and beyond. The national attention spawned a Bigfoot-inspired sandwich, t-shirts and more.

Peeler recently welcomed visitors from Alabama, who sought information on the legendary beast locally known as "Knobby." "They were working for a man out of <b>...</b>
