A very tall figure in Lincoln County, Tennessee

I was 17 and had an 11:30 curfew. I had left my girlfriend's house a little later than I should and was in a hurry to get home. I traveled Howell Hill Rd to Teal Hollow Rd. On Teal Hollow Rd I was speeding down a long straight away and saw something on the side of the road. I thought it was a deer or cow at first, so I slowed down. As I got closer to it, it stood up. As I passed it I was still going fast, about 55 or 60. I then thought it was a person who had crashed their car so I hit my brakes. By this time I was past it. I stoped in the road about 100 to 200 yards past it. When I put the car in reverse to back up I could see that it had walked into the road behind me. I probably got to within 25 to 30 yards of it when I realized it was much bigger than a person. It was dark so I do not have a great description. It scared me. I threw the car in drive and floored it. I drove like a bat out of heck until I got to HWY 64. When I got home I was still shaking and still had tears in my eyes. I do not know what I saw, but it was big, looked to be 6 1/2 to 7ft and almost half the width of my car. 20 yrs have past and I still will not drive that road anytime close to dark. I get cold chills everytime I think about what happened. It scared the heck out of me, whatever it was

What stood out: a very tall figure
