First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 589

Paranormal encounter near Anderson County

last April May, late April early May [last year] evening twilight starting to get dark Anderson County, Tennessee

Account

The witness went with a friend and teenage children for a twilight hike up a steep trail behind their campground. They entered a zone of total silence with ear pressure, then heard scuffling, saw red eyeshine, and glimpsed a very tall dark figure. A phone video appeared to show a silvery figure walking past a stump and red eyeshine, but the video later disappeared from the phone.
