1 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,080 Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning. 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,080 In this episode, we're looking at some Bigfoot stories out of 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,840 Tennessee. You can find the originals over 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,200 at bfro.net. It's kind of fun sometimes to 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,400 look at these and just kind of retell these in the story form. 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,280 I think it's Saturday, so why not? 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,080 Also, I want to point out that I had a lot of feedback on the 8 00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:30,360 Louis Elizondo story yesterday, some positive, some not so much, 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,440 but I think I finally figured it out. 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,200 Actually, one of the fanboys for Louis pointed out on YouTube 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,440 that probably what he thinks happened is while Louis was 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,560 being persecuted so badly by the Collins elite and his wife was 13 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:51,360 forced to work at Target in Home Depot and Louis was living at a 14 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,720 camper Down by the river. Or we think down by the river, 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,840 he thinks what happened was Louis was so destitute that he 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760 could not afford to take his big fancy truck and pull the camper 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,400 over to the nearest camper facility and dump the black 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,800 water. That's all the sewage water out 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,440 of the toilet system from the camper. 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,280 So what he did was this fellow thinks, and it doesn't make 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,720 sense because he did agree with Ross Coulter that he was too 22 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,160 broke to pay rent and that he had to dig a pit for his toilet 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,800 water. This fellow Louis Elizondo fan 24 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,400 thinks that Louis actually dug a hole wherever they were camping 25 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:34,760 at and then just hooked a hose up to the sewage affluent out of 26 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,320 the camper and then dumped that in a hole. 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,240 Now, if you think that's a good idea, you and I aren't on the 28 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,000 same page. You can get all kinds of nasty 29 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,440 diseases, hepatitis and whatnot. And if you live in the country, 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,880 then you know that pretty much every state that I'm aware of 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,160 forces you to put in a fairly expensive septic system of your 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800 own so that that water is treated and doesn't come out of 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,120 there with a bunch of diseases in it. 34 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,480 Anyway, interesting thoughts like the comments. 35 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,640 I'm amazed at how many fans that Louis has out there, him and a 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,919 lot of other celebrities. But point taken. 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,800 OK, on to this. Your first story from Tennessee 38 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,480 involving Bigfoot. It says it was a hot summer day 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,480 in July 2010 and I decided to take a trip to our family farm 40 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,240 in rural Wilson County, Tennessee along with my father, 41 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,720 my son and his friend. We were there to do some Bush 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,680 hogging and prepare the deer stands for the upcoming hunting 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,040 season. As we got to work, the kids 44 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440 asked if they could walk down the logging Rd. to see if they 45 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,920 could spot any deer or Turkey. We agreed and they set off down 46 00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:46,360 the path while we continued to tend the fields. 47 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,040 About 20 minutes passed when I noticed the children running 48 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,960 back toward me, out of breath and visibly shaken. 49 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,640 My son, grasping for air. Exclaimed. 50 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:59,680 Dad, I don't care if you believe me or not, but what we just saw 51 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,120 I never want to see again. His friend, who had been the 1st 52 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 to spot it, nodded, eyes wide with fear. 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,800 They recounted their encounter in detail, repeating the same 54 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,640 story over and over throughout the day and even the next 55 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,840 morning. As they were walking down the 56 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,000 logging Rd. my son heard loud crashing noises coming from the 57 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,840 woods ahead. He felt uneasy and stopped, 58 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,400 telling his friend he didn't want to go any further. 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,040 She, braver or perhaps just curious, continued around the 60 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,160 bend in the road. Moments later, she returned 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,360 quickly, pale and trembling, saying there's something huge 62 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,880 and black behind the tree, swaying side to side as if it's 63 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,720 trying to see what I am. She described how the creature 64 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,360 leaned out from behind the tree, observing her, seemingly 65 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680 curious, not wanting to provoke it. 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,000 She turned and walked briskly back to my son, explaining what 67 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800 she had seen. They decided to leave, but when 68 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,000 my son glanced back, he saw it too. 69 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,320 The creature had stepped out from behind the bin and was now 70 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,800 staring directly at them. It was massive, between 7 and 8 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,080 feet tall, with broad shoulders and muscular arms that rippled 72 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,760 beneath its dark, almost Turkey feather collared fur. 73 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Terrified, they they sprinted to the field where I was working. 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,200 Once I heard the story, I drove to the spot they described. 75 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,360 The woods were eerily quiet, no tracks, no foul odor that some 76 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,800 say accompanies these creatures, and no signs of the encounter. 77 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200 A storm was approaching so I had to head back before getting 78 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,880 caught in it. Later, as I sit with my sons, he 79 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,440 shared his thoughts. I don't think it meant us any 80 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,920 harm to Ed, it just seemed puzzled, like it was wondering 81 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,000 what we were doing here. It's true that the neighboring 82 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,720 farm, where men had recently been cutting hay had been quiet 83 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,520 for years. No hunting, no cattle. 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,480 Maybe this creature came from there. 85 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,640 Disturbed by the sudden activity, my son, who once loved 86 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,920 visiting the farm, now refuses to go back without some form of 87 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,800 protection. A drastic exchange from someone 88 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,280 who's always been an avid hunter. 89 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,520 His friend who was once sceptical about Bigfoot is now a 90 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,840 firm believer. Whatever they saw, it profoundly 91 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:17,280 affected them. Their story brought back 92 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:20,400 memories of a strange discovery I made two years ago. 93 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,480 I had noticed all the bamboo in front of one of our deer stands 94 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,920 had been taken and stacked in a teepee like structure against a 95 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280 rock wall built during the Civil war. 96 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,280 At that time I found it odd but didn't think much of it. 97 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,160 Now I wonder if it was related. The experience had a lasting 98 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,960 impact on both children. They are only 12 years old but 99 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,600 mature for their age, having spent a lot of time in the 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,200 outdoors. I spoke with them separately and 101 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,000 their accounts were identical. They described the creature's 102 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,360 hair as black and glossy with hints of dark brown completely 103 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,000 covering its body except for parts of its face. 104 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680 The skin was lighter and the eyes were large, dark and white 105 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,520 set. The most striking features were 106 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,240 its enormous muscles and a peculiar dropped expression on 107 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,520 the right side of its jaw, possibly from an old injury or 108 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,040 deformity. The encounter lasted about 20 109 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,680 seconds before the young girl turned and walked back to my 110 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120 son. They both decided to return 111 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200 while I was working, but not before looking back one last 112 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,760 time. To their dismay, the creature 113 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,920 had followed them around the bend and was now only 10 yards 114 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,480 away, standing near a cedar tree and watching them. 115 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,480 Despite the briefness of their encounter, they noticed numerous 116 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,360 details. My son estimated that the hair 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,160 was about 6 inches long and confirmed it was hair, not fur. 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,080 He remarked on the creature's incredible size and musculature, 119 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,840 which made it clear that it wasn't afraid of them, just 120 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:50,000 curious. I later spoke with an 121 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,800 investigator who is familiar with the area. 122 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080 He found my son and his friend to be credible witnesses, noting 123 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,000 their mature and thoughtful responses. 124 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,240 Their story hasn't changed, and their fear is real. 125 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,560 The investigator confirmed that the surrounding area has plenty 126 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,760 of deer Berry patches and fresh water, making it an ideal 127 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800 habitat for such a creature. It's a place where we've haunted 128 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,400 for nearly 15 years without any similar incidents. 129 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,680 But now things feel different. There's a sense of unease, as if 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,160 we've intruded on something we weren't meant to see. 131 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Very cool sighting. Let's take a look at another one 132 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,680 here. In late October 1993, my brother 133 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,000 and I set out for a deer hunt on a large farm near Many Flats, 134 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Tennessee. The farm bordered Boone Lake, a 135 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280 reservoir created in the 1930s by the Tennessee Valley 136 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,000 Authority. It was a crisp fall morning, the 137 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,320 air still and silent as I entered the woods well before 138 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960 daylight. I had scouted the area the 139 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,120 evening before, picking out a spot where I thought the deer 140 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200 would be traveling. Armed with a single shot muzzle 141 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,520 loader and sprayed down with scent shield, I made my way 142 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,160 through a field of high grass, crossed a barbed wire fence and 143 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,920 climbed a Ridge. I chose the large rock 144 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,520 protruding from the side of the hill as my lookout point. 145 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,040 From there I had a clearview of a Deer Trail winding through the 146 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,200 woods below. The darkness slowly gave way to 147 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,840 dawn, and I could just make out the silhouettes of trees against 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,960 the fence line. I sat quietly, waiting when I 149 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,640 heard something move through the tall grass behind me. 150 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,920 I froze, listening. There was the distinct sound of 151 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,039 the barbed wire clicking, as if something heavy had crossed it, 152 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640 followed by the crunching of leaves under foot. 153 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,120 Whatever it was, it was moving in a zigzag pattern, coming up 154 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520 the hill toward me, and it drew closer. 155 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,720 I could make out the shape of a man. 156 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,240 My first thought was that another hunter had stumbled upon 157 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,160 my spot, but then I remembered the landowner had only given 158 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880 permission to my brother and me, and no one else should be out 159 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,880 there. The figure continued its 160 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,080 approach and as it came within 6 feet of me, I realized with the 161 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,000 shock that it was much taller than any human I had ever seen. 162 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,040 I was perched on a rock about 8 feet off the ground, yet this 163 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,720 creature was looking me straight in the eye. 164 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,400 It grunted and growled in a low congested tone, like someone 165 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,320 struggling to breathe. I could see the outline of its 166 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,400 head, covered in the hair and the broad expanse of its 167 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,000 shoulders. There was no neck visible, just 168 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,360 a massive muscular torso. I coughed, trying to alert to my 169 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,160 presence, hoping it would back off, but it just stood there, 170 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,640 staring at me, breathing heavily. 171 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,880 I coughed again and waved my hand, feeling my heart pound in 172 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,960 my chest. Finally, the creature turned to 173 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960 begin to walk away down the hill, swinging its arms in 174 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,280 exaggerated motion. I watched, stunned, as it moved 175 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,000 away, disappearing into the thick brush from which it had 176 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,560 come. I sat there, trying to process 177 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:57,080 what I had just seen. It wasn't fear that overwhelmed 178 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,280 me, but a profound sense of disbelief. 179 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,360 I had never heard of anything like this in our part of the 180 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,520 country. Sure, there were Native American 181 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,360 legends of mysterious creatures, but those were stories from the 182 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,160 far West, not here in Tennessee. When I returned to the truck and 183 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,800 shared my encounter, no one believed me, but the image of 184 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,280 that towering figure with his powerful arms and strange, heavy 185 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,480 breathing was seared into my mind. 186 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,960 I later learned that another person had seen a similar 187 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,000 creature just a mile from where I had my encounter. 188 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,000 Although I had detected no smell during my sighting, I was so 189 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,960 astonished at the time that I might not have noticed anything 190 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,600 else. Years later, I spoke with an 191 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,800 investigator familiar with such reports. 192 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,640 He noted that my description of the figure's exaggerated arm 193 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,160 swinging and the length of its arms, which seemed to hang near 194 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,440 its knees, was consistent with other sightings of a creature 195 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,840 known a Sasquatch. The creature's human like 196 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,640 appearance, it's loud breathing, and the way he had approached so 197 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,680 closely only to leave without aggression suggested that it was 198 00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,000 as curious about me as I was about it. 199 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,160 To this day, I wonder what it was that I saw on that cold, 200 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,600 still morning. The encounter remains vivid in 201 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,360 my memory, a strange and inexplicable moment that left me 202 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,040 with more questions than answers. 203 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:20,080 It was late October 2008, around 2:30 in the morning, when I 204 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,680 received an unexpected call from my oldest son. 205 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,960 I was upstairs, lost in research on my computer, while he was 206 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,520 downstairs on the back porch having a quiet smoke. 207 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760 His voice, usually calm and composed, was tinged with fear 208 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,320 and urgency. You need to get out here right 209 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,880 now and bring the spotlight and the shotgun, he urged. 210 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,640 Alarmed, I grabbed both items from my bedroom and rushed 211 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,080 downstairs. As soon as I stepped onto the 212 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,560 porch, I saw on my son's face. His eyes were wide and his 213 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,560 complexion pale, an expression I had rarely seen on him. 214 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,520 At 18, he was no stranger to the outdoors. 215 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,840 He had been hunting in the swamps of North Florida with me 216 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,280 since he was four and didn't scare easily. 217 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280 I knew immediately that something significant had spoke 218 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,800 to him. What's going on? 219 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,480 I asked, trying to stay in my voice. 220 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,440 He pointed toward the oak tree between the two sheds in our 221 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,960 backyard, about 30 yards away. Point the light over there by 222 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,280 the tree, He instructed, his voice tight. 223 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,400 I aimed the spotlight but saw nothing unusual. 224 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,120 No, beside the oak tree, insisted. 225 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,280 Frustration building, I moved the light again, still finding 226 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,200 nothing. Exasperated, he grabbed my arm, 227 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,040 directing the beam of light himself. 228 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Right there, he explained. That's when I saw a large, 229 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,680 upright figure partially hidden behind the oak tree. 230 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,160 It was using the tree as a shield, only part of its body 231 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,920 visible. The creature stood at an oblique 232 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,480 angle, its right side facing us. The tree, about 3 1/2 to four 233 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,200 feet in diameter, barely concealed as bulk. 234 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,680 My breath caught in my throat as I took in the sight. 235 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,080 It was massive, with long, powerful arms that hung almost 236 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,880 to its knees and the slouched posture, knees slightly bent. 237 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,080 It was covered in brownish red hair, about two to three inches 238 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,240 long, and the face, what I could see of it, looked strangely ape 239 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,880 like. The image of Harry from Harry 240 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,720 and the Hendersons flashed in my mind. 241 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520 I know it sounds odd, but that's the closest comparison I could 242 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920 make. I shifted the light away from 243 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,160 the tree, and the creature, curious, took a half step out 244 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,480 from behind the trunk, peering at us. 245 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,040 When I swung the beam back, it quickly retreated behind the 246 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360 oak, keeping itself just out of sight. 247 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,200 We played this game a few times, me moving the light away and it 248 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,400 stepping out, then ducking back in when I returned the beam. 249 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,560 Feeling a strange mix of fear and fascination, I turned the 250 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:50,040 spotlight off for a few seconds. Then I flipped it back on, 251 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,000 pointing directly at the oak tree. 252 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,160 This time the creature was fully visible, standing to the right 253 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800 of the tree and facing us squarely. 254 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,520 It squinted against the light and after a moment, retreated 255 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,200 back into the woods, using the tree as a cover. 256 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,560 We heard it crashing through the brush as it disappeared into the 257 00:14:08,560 --> 00:14:11,400 darkness. My son and I stood there, 258 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,720 shaking with adrenaline and amazement. 259 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,240 Finally, I managed to smile. Holy crap, dude, we just saw a 260 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,880 Sasquatch. I said, half laughing in 261 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080 disbelief. My son grinned back, still 262 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,600 stunned. That was freaking awesome. 263 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,240 He exclaimed. We went inside, talking 264 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,040 excitedly about what we had seen, replaying every detail 265 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,480 until we were exhausted. The next morning I went outside 266 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,880 to search for any evidence of the nocturnal visitor. 267 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480 The clay soil made tracking difficult, but I did find 2 268 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,920 footprints behind the oak tree, each just under 17 inches long 269 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,520 and about 6 1/2 inches wide across the ball of the foot. 270 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,600 There was another print in the leaf litter nearby, though it 271 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,560 wasn't clear enough to to measure. 272 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,600 Unfortunately, the soil was too hard for the tracks to leave 273 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,880 deep impressions suitable for casting. 274 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120 Despite sharing our experience with a few friends and Co 275 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,200 workers, we were mostly met with skepticism, but my son and I 276 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,080 knew what we had seen. It wasn't the first strange 277 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,880 occurrence that at that property either. 278 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800 Earlier that summer we had all heard unexplained wood knock 279 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,080 sounds coming from the woods behind the house before we 280 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,160 eventually moved away. We continued to notice odd 281 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,720 things around the property, though we never had another 282 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,240 direct encounter like that night. 283 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,200 As I recall the event now, I can still picture the creature 284 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,320 standing there, cautiously watching us from behind the oak 285 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,520 tree. It seemed more curious than 286 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,080 threatening, like it was simply observing us. 287 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,600 Looking back, I'm convinced that what we encountered was a 288 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,480 Sasquatch. It was an experience neither of 289 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,680 us will ever forget. What a cool story. 290 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,080 Let's take a look at this next one. 291 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,840 On December 17th, 1997, a cold winter night near Gatlinburg, 292 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,800 TN, I found myself facing an inexperience that would remain 293 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,720 vivid in my memory for years to come. 294 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,880 It all began when my friend invited me to a secluded spot in 295 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,960 the Smoky Mountains, promising a spectacular view under the full 296 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,880 moon. We drove along a Park Rd. that 297 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,840 wound through the dense forest, the fresh snow blanketing the 298 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,920 landscape and adding to the ethereal beauty of the night. 299 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,520 We eventually arrived at a clearing with a deforested area 300 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,080 on the right, the ground sloping at a 45° angle. 301 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,520 The road hugged the mountain's edge, offering a breathtaking 302 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,760 view, and we decided to park at a small landing cut in the 303 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,920 mountain. We had been there for about an 304 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,960 hour, talking and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. 305 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,240 The cab of my truck had gotten cold, so I started the engine 306 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,560 and turned on the heater. As the windshield defrosted, my 307 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,440 friend noticed something on the road ahead. 308 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,080 There, illuminated by the moonlight, was a massive, wild 309 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,840 boar, its thick body rooted in the snow as it searched for 310 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,480 food. We watched in awe, regretting 311 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,320 not having a rifle or bow with us. 312 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,840 Seeing such a creature at this distance was a rare opportunity. 313 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,920 For about 10 minutes, we observed the boar as it rummaged 314 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,839 through the snow, seemingly unaware of our presence. 315 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,240 Suddenly, it froze, lifted its head, and then bolted across the 316 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,960 road and up the steep slope. It was as if it had sensed 317 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,440 something dangerous in the air. My friend and I exchanged puzzle 318 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,680 glances, wondering what could have frightened the boar so 319 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,359 abruptly. We speculated, Perhaps a black 320 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,480 bear. But the silence that followed 321 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,440 was unsettling. After a few minutes, my friend 322 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,840 leaned forward, pointing out the windshield toward the tree line. 323 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,880 Look over there, she whispered. At first, it was hard to 324 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,120 distinguish what we were seeing. Against the backdrop of trees, a 325 00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:45,120 dark shape moved with a slow, deliberate gait. 326 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,920 It was upright, and as it stepped out of the woods and 327 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,280 into the clearing, my mind raced to make sense of what I was 328 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280 seeing. This was no bear. 329 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,960 The creature moved with a fluid grace, its long arms swinging at 330 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,360 its sides as it crossed the snowy ground. 331 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,680 I watched, disbelief creeping over me, as I realized it was 332 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,640 walking on two legs. Bears do not walk that way for 333 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,840 more than a few steps unless provoked, and even then their 334 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,480 movements are awkward and labored. 335 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,640 This figure moved with purpose, and it was heading toward the 336 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,400 spot where the boar had been foraging. 337 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,800 My friend and I set frozen, staring at the silhouette of 338 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,840 this creature. The full moon was behind it, 339 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,160 casting a faint glow around its form. 340 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,120 I could see the outline of its broad shoulders and the muscular 341 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,360 build, but the details were obscured in the darkness. 342 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,080 I reached over and flipped on the truck's headlights and then 343 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,200 the high beams. What we saw next is etched in my 344 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,200 memory forever. The figure stood tall, easily 8 345 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:54,120 to 8 1/2 feet tall, with powerful muscular shoulders and 346 00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:57,040 tapered torso. Its body was covered in thick, 347 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:00,880 matted hair, and steam rose from its breath in the cold night 348 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,320 air. It raised its left arm to shield 349 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,720 its face from the blinding light, revealing long fingers 350 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,120 and a thumb. For a moment, it stood there, 351 00:19:08,120 --> 00:19:10,880 seemingly confused, as if trying to understand what was 352 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,840 happening. I stared at his face, trying to 353 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,040 make out its features. Its eyes glowed in eerie amber 354 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,880 red, and I could see the furrowed brow and wide nose, 355 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,480 giving it an almost human like appearance. 356 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,480 It squinted against a glare of the headlights, swaying its head 357 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,200 back and forth as if attempting to get a better look at us. 358 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,400 We were locked in a strange stalemate, I in disbelief in it, 359 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,520 seemingly puzzled by our presence. 360 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,720 As I continued to watch, its expression changed. 361 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,520 The confusion gave way to a look of irritation, its brow knitting 362 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,040 together in a fierce scowl. It grunted, and a plume of hot 363 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,480 breath erupted from its mouth, turning to mist in the cold air. 364 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,920 It took a step forward and I panicked, laying on the horn. 365 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,720 The sound seemed to startle it, and its entire body shattered. 366 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:05,440 It turned abruptly and in just a few powerful strides crossed the 367 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,800 road and disappeared up the mountain, using a small sapling 368 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,720 to propel itself up the slope and out of sight. 369 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,600 I sat there, heart pounding, my mind racing to process what I 370 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,480 had just witnessed. I turned to my friend, her eyes 371 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,680 wide and her face pale. She was shaking, and when I 372 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,560 reached out to touch her arm, she recoiled in fear. 373 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,080 It was then that I noticed she had wet her jeans. 374 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,320 This was a woman who had grown up in the mountains, a season 375 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,800 hunter, an outdoors woman who knew how to handle herself in 376 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,120 the wild. For her to be this terrified 377 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,360 spoke volumes about what we had seen. 378 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,800 She barely spoke a word as I drove home. 379 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,800 The truck filled with a fallow odor that I hadn't noticed 380 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,160 before. An overwhelming stench of urine, 381 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,640 sweat, and something else. Something primal. 382 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,040 It was nauseating, and it took miles with the windows down to 383 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,120 clear the smell out of the cab. The next day, armed with my 384 00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:00,760 rifle, I returned to the spot I found the sapling the creature 385 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,840 had grabbed, broken out of space and faint divots in the snow 386 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,160 where he had walked, but nothing more. 387 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,160 I spent hours searching, hoping for some evidence, but all I 388 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,800 left with were memories and questions. 389 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760 For years I kept this story to myself, too afraid of what 390 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,920 others might think. I was a seasoned hunter, a 391 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,840 former Marine, and not one to be easily shaken. 392 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,120 But that night, in the stillness of the mountains, I had seen 393 00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:27,360 something that defied explanation. 394 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,120 It wasn't until I met someone who had an experience of a 395 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:33,960 similar encounter that I felt compelled to share my story. 396 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Even now, I can still see those eyes glowing like embers in the 397 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,480 dark, staring back at me from the shadows of the forest. 398 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,560 What a great story. We'll do a couple more here and 399 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,640 we'll wrap this up. It was a chilly late afternoon 400 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,960 in the winter of 1979 when my brother and I found ourselves 401 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,800 deep in the woods behind our families tobacco farm in 402 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Robertson County, Tennessee. The sky was beginning to dim as 403 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,640 we played by the stream that wound its way through the 404 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,080 valley. We had spent hours collecting 405 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,520 rocks, carefully stacking them to build a dam, a future 406 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,280 swimming hole for the next summer. 407 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,040 I remember feeling an odd unease that day, a persistent gut 408 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960 feeling that something wasn't quite right. 409 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,320 I mentioned it to my brother, but we continued our work, 410 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,360 trying to shrug off the growing tension. 411 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,680 Then, as I leaped across the stream with a large rock in 412 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,320 hand, the sharp crack of a breaking stick echoed through 413 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,040 the stillness. I looked down, expecting to see 414 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,200 a branch under foot, but there it was. 415 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,200 Only leaves and mud. I glanced over at my brother, 416 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,400 who stood several feet away. He wasn't near any deadfall. 417 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,520 A cold shiver ran down my spine. Something was wrong. 418 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Let's get out of here. I told him, my voice unsteady. 419 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,960 He didn't argue, he felt it too. We quickly gathered our things. 420 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,280 I retrieved my BB rifle from where we'd left our weapons 421 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,280 stashed against a tree. Though it was just action air 422 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,440 rifle, it offered a small sense of security. 423 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,360 We headed toward the four foot wire fence that marked the edge 424 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,840 of our property, the hairs on the back of our neck standing on 425 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320 in. I climbed over the fence first, 426 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,480 using the low hanging tree branches to steady myself as I 427 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,040 turned to retrieve my BB gun from the other side. 428 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,080 I froze. There, just a few yards away, 429 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,520 crouched behind an old gnarled tree, was a massive, black, 430 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,560 hairy figure. It was staring right at me with 431 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,600 enormous, dark eyes. My heart stopped for a moment. 432 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,520 I couldn't move, couldn't breathe. 433 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,320 The creature was enormous, its hulking form barely concealed by 434 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,160 the tree. Fear surged through me. 435 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,240 I screamed my brother's name, my voice crackling with terror. 436 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,720 I dropped to my knees, frantically pumping my BB gun. 437 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,440 I didn't know what I planned to do, maybe shoot it in the eyes 438 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,560 if it made a move, but I was too scared to think straight. 439 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960 My brother, still on the other side of the fence, looked at me 440 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:03,360 in confusion. His face turned pale as he took 441 00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:07,040 in my panicked expression. What's wrong with her? 442 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,480 He would later recall thinking. Then he saw the creature, now 443 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,480 fully standing, stepped out from behind the tree. 444 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,680 It was enormous, towering over the underbrush. 445 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,600 Its muscular body covered the thick black hair. 446 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,920 My brother's face turned ashen, and he instinctively fired his 447 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,040 BB pistol, though he knew it would do a little good. 448 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,240 And one frantic leap, he cleared the fence. 449 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,880 Despite wearing multiple layers of long underwear and jeans, I 450 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,320 had already reached the clearing, my BB rifle clutched 451 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,920 tightly in my trembling hands. My eyes were fixed on the tree 452 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,880 line, desperately searching for any sign of my brother. 453 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,240 My heart raced as I screamed his name, fearing he had been caught 454 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,800 by the creature. Relief washed over me when I saw 455 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,040 his Hunter's orange sock cap bobbing through the trees. 456 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,840 He was running towards me, his face pale with terror. 457 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,320 He shouted that he had heard it chasing him, but thankfully it 458 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,920 had stopped at the edge of the woods. 459 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,920 We didn't stop running until we burst through the door of our 460 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,640 farmhouse, gasping for breath and spilling over each other in 461 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,120 a heap. Our aunt and cousin looked at us 462 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:17,800 in shock, their faces turning to uneasy smiles as we babbled out 463 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520 our story. They tried to laugh it off, but 464 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,840 there was a nervous edge to their voices. 465 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Finally, our aunt's expression turned serious. 466 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,120 She told us that strange sightings had happened to those 467 00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:31,640 woods for years, sightings and unexplained occurrences that no 468 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,520 one liked to talk about. She recounted a story from her 469 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,880 childhood of a man who had disappeared from a bridge just 470 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,120 downstream from where he had been that day. 471 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,920 His tractor was found overturned in the Creek, but the man was 472 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,960 never seen again. The story sent a fresh wave of 473 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,240 chills down my spine. As we sat in the warmth of the 474 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,080 farmhouse, our hands still shaking, I knew that what we had 475 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,880 seen was real. It wasn't a figment of our 476 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,720 imagination or trick of the fading light. 477 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:03,520 It was something else, something that still haunts my memories 478 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,680 from that cold winter evening on our family farm. 479 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,640 Wow, that's really impressive. We'll do one last one here. 480 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,520 Here's our last story. It says it was a warm summer 481 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,160 night in August 2002 in the remote and wooded region of 482 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,240 Carter County, Tennessee, near the small town of Elizabethtown. 483 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,400 The area, nestled in the northeastern corner of the 484 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,360 state, was known for its quiet and serene environment. 485 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Was State Highway 91 winding through the Stony Creek section, 486 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,800 surrounded by dense forest and open fields? 487 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,080 On the late July morning, the witness's wife was driving to 488 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,240 work when she noticed a dark, tall figure standing by the side 489 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,400 of the road near a Creek. Concerned, she slowed down, 490 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,320 thinking it might be someone in need of help. 491 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,200 However, as she approached, the figure swiftly crossed the road 492 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,920 and leaped onto a dirt bank, disappearing into the woods. 493 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,280 A couple of days later, in the same spot, she saw a similar 494 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,160 figure with glowing reddish eyes, but it quickly retreated 495 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,120 into the trees before she could get a closer look. 496 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,120 Then, on August 1st, at around 3:00 AM, the witness himself had 497 00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:12,960 a bizarre encounter. He had stepped outside to let 498 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,560 his dogs out, but while his mill dog cautiously stayed on the 499 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,840 porch, growling softly, his female dog refused to leave the 500 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,080 house. Curious, the man scanned the 501 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,600 field adjacent to his home. In the dim light of a partial 502 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,080 moon, he noticed a large figure crouching in the tobacco field 503 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,200 is seen to be watching him, its broad back covered in reddish 504 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840 brown fur. Suddenly it made a strange 505 00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:40,760 chuffing noise, a sound somewhere between a growl and a 506 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,680 Deep Throat clearing. A moment later, he spotted 507 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,480 another, smaller figure moving toward a shadowy area between a 508 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,440 barn and the road behind his house. 509 00:27:50,120 --> 00:27:53,720 The scene grew more unnerving as other eerie noises echoed 510 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,840 through the quiet night. There were multiple chuffing 511 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,200 sounds, this time coming from the Creek across the road. 512 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,120 The larger creature in the field responded, and the two seemed to 513 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:07,160 be communicating. The dogs in the neighborhood 514 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,000 began to bark frantically, as if sensing something menacing in 515 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600 the air. The figure in the field finally 516 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,360 began to move away, merging into the shadows of the tree line 517 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,880 while a disturbing cry like that of a small injured animal 518 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520 pierced the night. The next morning, the witness 519 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,200 inspected the field where he had seen the creatures. 520 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,560 He found large trampled areas in the grass and trails leading to 521 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,600 the places where he had heard the noises. 522 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,520 It seemed like something had indeed moved through the area, 523 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,280 leaving no clear footprints, but enough signs to indicate the 524 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,200 measure of something heavy and large. 525 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,760 He was also struck by the impression that whatever he had 526 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,480 encountered was not alone and that they were communicating in 527 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,680 some strange, almost intelligent manner. 528 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,480 A week later, on August 8th, the witness and his wife met with a 529 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,160 friend and took him to the location of the sightings. 530 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,920 As they stood at the edge of the field, talking in the fading 531 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,840 evening light, a chilling scream echoed from the mountains. 532 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,360 It was a sound that none of them had ever heard before, unnatural 533 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,080 and haunting. They noticed large depressions 534 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,360 in the grass near a round bill of hay across from the mobile 535 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,480 home. It seemed like something huge 536 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,000 had been standing there, watching the house. 537 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,160 The witness showed them the tree near the Creek that had been 538 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,960 violently shaking the night of his encounter, as if someone 539 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,680 enormous was trying to climb it. Throughout the night, they felt 540 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,120 a growing unease. There was an eerie stillness in 541 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640 the air. The usual chorus of crickets and 542 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,240 other night insects was absent, replaced only by the distant 543 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,880 barking of nervous dogs. The couple, both professionals 544 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,280 and respected members of their community, were convinced that 545 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,320 they had witnessed something beyond the ordinary. 546 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,520 They planned to spend the night on the porch of the mobile home 547 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,360 in the coming weeks, hoping to catch another glimpse of 548 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,640 whatever had disturbed their peaceful corner of the world. 549 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,560 Wow, these things are out there. It seems like Tennessee has a 550 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,600 lot of them, a lot of these up close and personal sightings. 551 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,120 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
