Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee (2010)

The witness stayed overnight at a friend's rural trailer after reports of something frightening dogs and taking raw meat. After a heavy impact rocked the trailer and left dents, and a chained dog's chain snapped, the group smelled a musky odor and later saw a tall gray-brown figure in the driveway under lights. The figure raised its hand after the witness did, snorted, then ran into the woods.

Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee (1988)

The guest described dogs being attacked over several nights, one killed in a gorge with two puncture wounds and no blood and another badly cut but surviving. Days later a partner taking garbage out saw a very tall ugly figure eye-to-eye from a deck. The guest heard heavy crunching footsteps in the gorge, shouted, fired a rifle into the air, and listened as it paused then jumped a high bank without breaking stride and moved away.

1 August 1984 Hampton, Carter County, Tennessee Class B #25377

Man remembers a scary encounter while camping with friends near Hampton

In August 1984 four teenagers were camping overnight on a wooded ridge when they heard unexplained noises and their dogs became agitated. A very loud yell came from just behind their lean-to, which shook visibly, causing the group to flee through the dark woods. One teen briefly froze before following, later reporting grunting and footsteps behind him. The next day the group found the lean-to torn down, the fire pit rocks scattered, and a strong wet-dog-like odor at the site.

Property disturbance in Tennessee

After a house fire the family moved to an isolated rented house where the boys hauled dead limbs for a cook stove. One morning they found a large pile of dead and green branches by the wood pile that had appeared overnight. The pile was so large they did not need to gather wood again before moving out months later.

The witness regularly left apples on the ground and hanging in trees. One visit all apples were gone and in their place was a dead squirrel stripped of fur except for hairs at the tail tip. He interpreted it as a reciprocal gift and left it untouched.

Partial sighting in Tennessee

Over later visits to the same woods the witness and friends found a hair-covered shape curled like a stump, had a softball-sized rock thrown at their group, found a hung bait bucket punched open and emptied, felt hot breath and heard a grunt behind them with nothing seen, and found logs arranged like benches that gave an overwhelming feeling of dread. The witness also relayed a friend's solo report of something large jumping tree to tree with a shadow passing overhead.

Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee

Waking with a sense of danger she shone a spotlight to the creek and watched a very tall muscular hairy figure stand, display large hands and scream for 30-40 seconds. The scream caused a physical ripple sensation and the family decided to move.

Tree break in Tennessee

A couple with a dog camped and fished for three days with no one else around and experienced small disappearances of glasses. While fishing near the car with no wind, a large live tree snapped and fell toward the car, landing in another tree above the spouse and dog. The next morning while packing, a bag left on a picnic table near the dog vanished despite no one else being around, and the dog seemed on edge.
