Yes, that isn’t a typo. It is “Thang” not “Thing”.

The Alabama White Thang is a cryptid creature that has been spotted in a triangle of counties in Alabama. The counties of Etowah, Jefferson and Morgan have had sightings of a 7 foot tall, humanoid creature that is covered with white hair. The sound the creature makes is said to sound like a screaming woman or a panther.  Some think the creature could be an albino bear, or possibly an albino Bigfoot.

There is a crew of paranormal investigators who have started a page on facebook Alabama White Thang.

The Alabama Bigfoot Society have shared a video discussing the creature.
