Shelby, North Carolina Video

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 â "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 â hence the creature's name â 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 â 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 Peeler said the incident hasn't been blown out of proportion. Far from it. "No, it's the truth. It just spread so I can't believe it." But some people do believe.
