Witness relates rock throwing encounter while camped along the Buffalo River

The witness was solo canoe-camping on a river and went to the water's edge after dinner. He heard splashes, saw a large rock fly through the air and land near him, then shined a light and saw eyes for about two seconds before they vanished. He fired a pistol with no response and left camp for home.

Possible vocalizations heard near Pigeon Forge

The witness and her husband were relaxing on the back porch of a mountain cabin in the evening when they heard prolonged loud howling from across the mountain to the southeast. The vocalizations lasted several minutes and did not match any wildlife known to them. About 15-30 minutes later they heard large rocks crashing downhill from a closer position on their side of the mountain.

Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee (1970)

The witness, recently out of the military, was fly-fishing with three relatives in a steep, remote river gorge. He turned to see an upright animal at close range that quickly climbed the steep bank to the ridgeline. The group then heard extremely loud guttural vocalizations and huffs, saw movement on the ridge, and had a large rock land in the water near them. They left at dusk and later agreed among themselves it had not been a bear despite one relative's dismissive explanation.

Wood knock near Linsdale, Tennessee

On the last night out, the pair sat back-to-back on a man-made ridge and made knocks, howls and other calls. Responses approached, then stopped, followed by heavy bipedal steps and rocks thrown from the front on both sides. They threw rocks back for many minutes until a rock came from the direction they had entered, making the guest conclude they were surrounded.

Chatter in Tennessee

The witness entered a drawn bow-hunt area before daylight and heard chattering like a samurai movie from two individuals. Calls and flashlight produced silence, then movement split to both sides of the trail as he climbed down. As he left, unseen individuals followed, mumbled, threw rocks and sticks, and struck his truck before rangers moved him to another area.
