Tennessee’s mountains, forests, rural communities, and abandoned places have produced some of the most extraordinary unexplained creature reports in Appalachia.
In this episode of Phantoms & Monsters Radio, Lon Strickler presents eight disturbing eyewitness accounts from across Tennessee. These cases include a whitish-gray Bigfoot known locally as the Cherokee Devil, a massive creature that appeared to vanish through a dimensional opening near Roan Mountain, repeated encounters with a seven-foot black canine humanoid, a nearly invisible entity running through the treetops of Antioch, and a red-eyed, featureless being observed in an abandoned northeastern Tennessee town.
The presentation also examines a bizarre white reptilian humanoid that approached a vehicle near a cemetery, a feathered winged humanoid seen ascending to the roof of a Columbia residence, and a mysterious yellow-eyed entity that remained completely unaffected after being fired upon with a shotgun near Jonesborough.
Several witnesses reported missing time, slowed perception, glowing eyes, overwhelming dread, unexplained screams, apparent cloaking, and creatures capable of moving in ways that defy normal physical limitations.
Were these witnesses encountering undiscovered animals, supernatural manifestations, interdimensional beings, or entities connected to the Appalachian landscape itself?

Hey. Hey. Hey.

2:08
Hey folks, welcome to Phantoms and
2:09
Monsters Radio.
2:11
Now, tonight we um we travel into the
2:13
mountains, forest, isolated communities,
2:16
and rural back roads of Tennessee, a
2:19
state with a long and complex history of
2:21
unexplained encounters.
2:24
And from the Appalachian Highlands in
2:26
the east to the isolated woodlands of
2:28
Middle Tennessee, witnesses have
2:30
reported enormous upright creatures,
2:34
mysterious winged humanoids, glowing
2:37
eyes, phantom screams, cloaked entities,
2:42
and beings that seem capable of moving
2:44
between our physical world and another
2:46
reality. Now, some of these encounters
2:48
resemble familiar crypted reports.
2:52
Others contain elements of missing time,
2:54
dimensional displacement, supernatural
2:57
forewarning, and psychological trauma.
3:00
Now, several of the witnesses described
3:03
this distinct feeling that they're being
3:05
watched before anything even appeared.
3:08
Other report others reported that the
3:10
environment became unusually quiet,
3:13
oppressive, and distorted. And in some
3:15
cases, the entity seems curious.
3:19
In others, it appears threatening or
3:21
completely indifferent to the human
3:24
beings observing it. What are these
3:27
witnesses encountering? Are these
3:29
undiscovered animals, interdimensional
3:31
beings, supernatural manifestations, or
3:34
physical creatures capable of abilities
3:36
we just don't yet understand? So,
3:39
tonight we examine eight extraordinary
3:42
reports from across Tennessee. This is
3:45
Unexplained Tennessee.
3:48
Now, our first report comes from Perry
3:50
County near the community of Lynen in
3:52
Middle Tennessee.
3:55
The witness was a widow who had moved to
3:57
the area with her children approximately
3:59
one year before the encounter. Now, her
4:01
intention was to live quietly and
4:03
independently on an off-rid homestead.
4:07
Now, soon after arriving, however, the
4:09
family began experiencing strange
4:10
activity around the property. The
4:13
witness stated, "I moved to Lynen,
4:15
Tennessee in Perry County about a year
4:17
ago with my children. I'm a widow who
4:19
was simply trying to live off-rid on a
4:22
homestead. We would hear how knocks and
4:25
other strange sounds, but we didn't
4:27
think much of them at first. The local
4:30
people refused to come to our little
4:33
homestead. Eventually, we found someone
4:35
willing to deliver hay, but he would
4:38
only come during the daylight hours.
4:41
Now, occasionally we would see a white
4:44
blur or have a heavy rock land near us,
4:47
but nothing serious ever happened.
4:51
A new neighbor eventually moved in onto
4:53
the property about 20 acres away from
4:55
us. Horrendous things began happening
4:57
there. They found dead animals and
5:00
discovered damage to their property.
5:03
They came to us and asked us to
5:04
investigate. I looked around their
5:07
property, but I couldn't explain what
5:09
was terrorizing them. However, they
5:12
drank and smoked heavily, so I initially
5:14
chocked their claims up to that. Now, my
5:17
son later mentioned the strange activity
5:19
to a local man he works with. The man
5:22
turned, looked him directly in the eye,
5:24
and said, "It's the Cherokee Devil."
5:28
I had to look that name up. We still
5:31
tried to dismiss the idea until spring
5:33
arrived.
5:35
We were walking along the creek on our
5:37
property and decided to separate so we
5:39
could find the spring that feeds it.
5:41
Now, my 22-year-old son suddenly began
5:43
waving and calling out, "Hey, wait up
5:45
for me." I looked at him and realized he
5:48
was not facing me. I turned toward the
5:52
direction he was looking and saw what
5:54
appeared to be a whitish gray Bigfoot.
5:58
The creature turned and began moving
6:00
toward my son. I yelled, "Hey, I'm over
6:03
here. That's not me. My son immediately
6:06
ran toward me because I had the gun and
6:09
I am mama.
6:11
So the creature looked directly at him
6:13
and simply stared.
6:15
I told it, "Leave us alone and we'll
6:18
leave you alone. I have no issues with
6:21
you. I only have issues with people." It
6:24
didn't attack us.
6:26
I do not want people coming here and
6:28
trying to hurt it because it has never
6:30
touched any of my animals.
6:32
If one of our animals dies because of
6:34
the weather or another natural cause, we
6:36
carry the carcass to an area where we
6:38
believe the creature sleeps. Now, I'm
6:41
curious whether you have heard of this
6:43
creature and what you can tell me about
6:46
it. Now, the witness later provided an
6:49
update after receiving information
6:51
concerning concerning to Sul Kaloo, a
6:55
powerful figure in Cherokee tradition,
6:57
sometimes described as a giant
7:00
associated with the mountains, hunting,
7:02
and remote wilderness. She told me, "It
7:06
is crazy. I read the link and
7:08
information you forward to me. I have
7:10
spoken with local Cherokee people here,
7:12
and they seem surprised that has left me
7:14
alone." Now, the gravel haulers have
7:17
what they call a churn pit here.
7:20
Apparently, this devil has destroyed
7:23
some of their equipment and damaged dump
7:24
trucks so badly that several had to be
7:26
replaced.
7:29
They have placed traps and installed
7:31
security, but they have not caught it
7:33
yet. So, I hope they don't. I noticed
7:36
that the activity only starts when they
7:38
begin dynamiting the ridge. Sorry, but
7:41
I'm rooting for the Cherokee Devil.
7:44
Now th this report presents several
7:48
characteristics frequently associated
7:50
with Bigfoot and other large
7:51
unidentified florist beings.
7:54
Uh the family heard house and knocking
7:55
sounds. Rocks were apparently thrown
7:57
near them and white forms were seen
7:59
moving around the property. Now local
8:02
residents also seemed reluctant to visit
8:03
the homestead after dark. Most
8:06
interestingly, the the creature appeared
8:08
near a creek and may have temporarily
8:10
confused the witness's son by
8:12
resembling, imitating, or positioning
8:14
itself near what he believed was his
8:16
mother.
8:18
Now, the witness did not describe the
8:20
entity as immediately hostile. When
8:22
directly addressed, it stopped and
8:24
stared at her rather than attacking.
8:27
Activity reportedly intensified when the
8:30
nearby ridge was disturbed by dynamiting
8:32
and industrial work. Now, similar
8:35
patterns have been reported in other
8:37
locations where logging, mining,
8:38
excavation, and construction disrupted
8:41
isolated habits habitats.
8:45
Was the creature merely defending its
8:46
territory, or was something older and
8:50
much more complex
8:52
connected to the land?
8:57
Now, the next report takes us to Ran
8:59
Mountain in eastern Tennessee. This is
9:03
an area where I'm familiar at on the
9:05
North Carolina side because my family is
9:08
from there. The witness identified as R
9:12
had grown up near Mobile and Ala
9:14
Alabama. Now, until his mid20s, he had
9:17
spent little time at high elevations.
9:20
Sometime between mid 1980s and early
9:23
1990s, he traveled with his wife to
9:25
visit his sister who had moved to Ron
9:27
Mountain.
9:29
Now, one evening, the witness stepped
9:31
outside and experienced an encounter
9:33
that had combined an enormous
9:34
Bigfootlike being with an apparent
9:36
distortion in time and space. He stated,
9:40
"The only person I ever told that I ever
9:44
told about this was my wife at the time,
9:46
who is now my ex-wife.
9:49
She laughed and accused me of making the
9:50
whole thing up. And before I got into an
9:53
encounter itself, I should give a little
9:55
background.
9:57
And I was born in Mobile Alabama in
9:59
1964.
10:01
Until I was in my mid20s, I had never
10:03
been on ground much higher than a couple
10:06
hundred feet above sea level. Now,
10:09
sometime between the mid 1980s and early
10:12
1990s, my sister got married and moved
10:15
to Ron Mountain in eastern Tennessee.
10:18
My wife and I went up there to visit her
10:20
for a week. Now, for the for first few
10:23
days, we drove around, saw the sights,
10:26
and enjoyed the mountains. Then, we
10:28
spent one day there hanging out around
10:31
the house. That evening, we had a few
10:33
cold drinks, and fired up the grill.
10:36
Later that night, around 9:00 p.m., I
10:38
stepped out onto the back porch to get
10:40
another beer.
10:42
That was when I noticed about a half a
10:44
dozen deer standing in the field behind
10:46
the house roughly 100 yards away. One of
10:50
them had a nice rack, but I could not
10:52
make out how many points ahead. I
10:54
slipped off the porch and eased over to
10:56
the corner of the fence, which put me
10:58
about 60 to 70 yards from the deer. I
11:01
stood there against the fence watching
11:03
them. The big buck looked like a 10point
11:05
at minimum, probably a 200 class deer.
11:09
But then I noticed the moon. When I say
11:12
I noticed it, I mean I really noticed
11:14
it. It was huge. It looked closer than
11:17
had ever seen it before.
11:20
Now, I had been out in the Gulf of
11:22
Mexico at night, far away from city
11:24
lights, and I had seen the moon with
11:25
great detail using only my naked eye.
11:28
But that night on Rome Mountain, I
11:30
finally understood that the word awesome
11:32
meant. I understood what it meant to be
11:35
aruck.
11:37
I was supposed to be watching the deer,
11:39
but I couldn't take my eye off that huge
11:41
glowing yellow orange ball of light. It
11:45
seemed almost close enough to touch. I
11:48
thought I had been standing there for
11:50
about 20 minutes. Later, I realized I'd
11:53
been there for close to an hour.
11:56
Now, after a while, I began to feel a
11:58
tickling sensation on the back of my
11:59
neck. I shrugged my shoulders and turned
12:02
my neck a couple of times, trying to
12:03
shake loose whatever I thought was
12:05
touching me.
12:07
Just then, the deer spooked and bounded
12:10
away. The noise finally broke my gaze
12:13
from the moon.
12:15
That was when I realized I had probably
12:17
been outside long enough. I decided to
12:20
go back inside. I took one last look at
12:23
the moon and mumbled, "Wow!" because of
12:26
the beauty of the sun reflecting a
12:28
satellite orbiting our world. But then
12:31
it hit me. I felt the hot breath of some
12:34
huge creature on the back of my neck.
12:36
And at the same instant, I heard or felt
12:38
the deepest chest rumbling h I'd ever
12:42
experienced.
12:44
I turned to my right, looked over my
12:46
shoulder. At first, all I could see was
12:48
black as far as my peripheral vision
12:50
allowed.
12:53
It was all Bigfoot.
12:55
This happened in a split second. When I
12:58
got my head around far enough, I
13:00
realized my face was maybe 8 to 10
13:02
inches from the creature's upper
13:04
abdomen.
13:06
Looking upward, I saw that its pecal
13:08
muscles stuck out from his chest almost
13:10
6 in. They were massive. Its chest was
13:14
every bit of four and a half ft wide.
13:16
His shoulders looked as big as
13:18
basketballs,
13:19
adding another foot or two on each side.
13:22
From shoulder to shoulder, the thing had
13:24
to be at least 6' wide. I didn't get a
13:28
good look at the hands, the feet, the
13:30
hands or face, but its arms were
13:32
probably even more impressive than his
13:33
chest and shoulder. If Hulk Hogan had 22
13:36
in arms, this creature had 28 to 30 in
13:38
arms. Its forearms would make a would
13:42
make Popeye jealous.
13:44
The arms were covered in long dark hair,
13:46
maybe four to six inches in length. If I
13:49
had to estimate, this being was around
13:51
10t tall, weighed about 700 to 800 lb.
13:56
As for its face, from my angle, all I
13:59
could make out was a squared off bearded
14:01
chin. I could not see its nose, ears,
14:05
eyes, brow ridge, or head shape.
14:08
I cannot say whether it looked more like
14:10
a man or an ape. Its arms seemed more
14:13
ape-like, but its chest was more
14:14
humanlike, only hairier than most men.
14:18
This is where the story becomes even
14:20
stranger. As I said, it all happened in
14:23
a split second. And as I spun around and
14:26
looked up, the creature rose from a bent
14:28
over position to stand upright. At the
14:31
same time, it took a step back and to
14:34
its right. As it as it pulled its left
14:37
leg over its right, it looked as though
14:39
it were slipping through a slit in a
14:41
green screen.
14:43
I don't know if it was a portal, an
14:45
interventional doorway, or something
14:46
else entirely. All I know is that this
14:49
huge thing vanished within a split
14:51
second.
14:53
Now, there was no foul smell associated
14:55
with it. There was a slight musty o
14:58
odor, but it reminded me of the smell of
15:00
a horse g that a horse gives off. You
15:03
could smell it, but you wouldn't call it
15:05
a stench.
15:07
I will say this. I hear a lot of people
15:10
say these beings are evil, demonic, or
15:12
something similar. And maybe they are.
15:15
I can only speak from my experience. I
15:18
got the impression that this creature
15:20
was intelligent and that it somehow
15:21
appreciated my interest in the moon. The
15:25
h it gave made me feel the same way I
15:28
felt when I had done something good and
15:30
made my grandfather proud. He would give
15:33
me the same approving h. Of course, my
15:37
grandfather never had the same volume or
15:39
power behind it like this thing did.
15:44
Now, the vis the physical description of
15:46
this account is remarkable. The um the
15:48
witness estimated that the entity stood
15:50
approximately 10 feet tall with the
15:52
chest several feet wide and or
15:53
extraordinarily mus muscular arms. Yet
15:57
the most unusual elements were not
15:59
physical. The witness believed that
16:01
approximately 20 minutes had passed
16:03
while he watched the moon. Now he later
16:05
discovered that he had been outside for
16:07
nearly an hour. Now whether this
16:09
represented distraction, older
16:11
perception, or actual missing time
16:13
remains unknown.
16:15
The creature's approach closely enough
16:18
to to breathe on the witness's neck, but
16:20
it did not attack him. It appeared to
16:23
vocalize in a way that the witness
16:25
interpreted as approving or reassuring.
16:28
Then, instead of running into the
16:30
forest, a massive being seemed to step
16:32
sideways and disappear through a narrow
16:34
opening in reality.
16:36
This raises a question that continues to
16:38
appear in Bigfoot research. Are some of
16:41
these beings purely biological animals?
16:43
Are certain or are they certain
16:47
encounters connected to portals,
16:49
dimensional shifts, cloaked abilities or
16:52
cloaking abilities and changes in human
16:55
perception?
16:59
Now, our third case involves a witness
17:01
who reported two encounters with what he
17:04
what appeared to be the same enormous
17:06
K-9 humanoid. Now, the first sighting
17:09
occurred while the witness was in
17:11
seventh grade.
17:13
The second took place several years
17:14
later during the summer before the
17:16
witness's senior year of college senior
17:18
year of high school. The witness stated,
17:21
"Now, when I was in seventh grade in
17:22
Eastern Tennessee, I was outside with my
17:24
dog lying on the dirt mound and looking
17:26
at the clouds to pass the time.
17:30
It was around 5:30 p.m. when my dog
17:32
started barking and pulling at the
17:34
leash.
17:35
We lived in the countryside, so we had
17:37
wood surrounding one half of our house.
17:41
Now, I tried hushing my beagle, but she
17:43
persisted. I stood up and looked into
17:46
the direction she was facing. I said,
17:48
"Look, there isn't anything there." And
17:51
as I said that, a large black creature
17:53
with a caned body sprinted out of the
17:56
woods. Now, this creature had thin fur
18:00
that was so black that it had a
18:01
pearlescent appearance, almost like a
18:04
purple tint. Its eyes were a medium
18:06
shade of yellow. Its legs were crooked
18:09
backward, and its hands were long and
18:11
slender. It stood about 7 feet tall when
18:15
upright on its hind legs, and when it
18:18
dropped on all four limbs, its back had
18:20
an aggressive hunch, but it still
18:22
maintained a fluid motion. Every step
18:24
seemed uh pre-calculated.
18:28
As it sprinted past, it tilted its head
18:30
toward me as though it was aware of my
18:32
presence, but could not be bothered by
18:35
the fact that I was standing there. It
18:38
then jumped over a 4-ft cattle fence
18:40
without much difficulty.
18:42
I am a senior in high school now, and I
18:44
and just last summer, I had another
18:46
experience. I had been working with my
18:48
father in his shed where we repair
18:51
motors and other equipment. and I I left
18:53
my phone inside the shed. Now, my friend
18:56
was staying overnight, so we headed back
18:58
down to the shed when I realized I'd
18:59
forgotten the phone. It was
19:02
approximately 10 p.m., completely dark,
19:04
and around the same time of the year as
19:06
my previous encounter.
19:11
We were standing outside the front of
19:13
the shed trying to get the key into the
19:15
lock when we heard rustling in the brush
19:17
near the woods. was very faint and
19:20
sounded almost like a breeze moving
19:22
through the leaves. My friend and I both
19:25
heard it, so we turned our flashlights
19:26
toward the brush. There in the light
19:29
vegetation stood a pitch black shape.
19:32
The yellow eyes destroy my mind every
19:35
time I remember that moment. My friend
19:38
said, "You see that right?"
19:40
By that time, I was already sprinting
19:42
towards the house.
19:45
Seeing the creature and knowing that had
19:46
been silently watching us tore my mind
19:49
apart. It was so quiet. I had a mental
19:52
breakdown as soon as I entered the
19:53
house. I have never experienced such an
19:56
intense reaction to anything.
19:59
And from that point forward, every time
20:00
I entered the woods, I felt as though
20:03
something was watching me. I know that
20:06
sounds crazy, and I understand that. I
20:09
struggle with telling anyone, and this
20:10
is the first time I've ever reached out
20:13
in search of similar experiences.
20:17
Now, the creature in this report
20:18
displayed several characteristics
20:20
commonly associated with upright canine
20:22
or dog man encounters. It had a canid
20:24
body, dark black fur, uh, yellow eyes,
20:28
unusually long hands, and rear legs that
20:30
appeared to bend backwards.
20:33
It could stand approximately 7 foot
20:35
tall, but also capable of dropping onto
20:38
all four limbs without losing speed or
20:40
coordination.
20:41
During the first encounter, it ran past
20:43
the witness and cleared a 4-ft livestock
20:45
fence with little effort. During the
20:48
second encounter, he made motionless and
20:50
concealed in the brush, silently
20:52
observing the witness and his friend.
20:54
Now, the emotional response was
20:56
immediate and severe. The witness
20:58
described having a mental breakdown
21:00
after reaching the house. In many
21:02
unexplained creature reports, the fear
21:05
experienced by the witness seems
21:06
disproportionate to the visible behavior
21:08
of the entity.
21:10
Sometimes the being does not attack,
21:12
growl, or pursue. It just merely
21:14
watches. Could this reaction be caused
21:17
by the shock of the encountering the
21:19
impossible animal? or do some of these
21:22
entities produce a psychological or
21:24
physiological effect in those who see
21:27
them.
21:32
Now, this next report occurred in
21:34
Antioch, Tennessee in 1993.
21:37
Unlike the previous encounters, this
21:39
entity did not appear to possess fur,
21:41
feathers, or any clearly visible body
21:43
surface. Instead, it seemed to be almost
21:46
completely transparent.
21:49
Now, the witness described seeing the
21:51
outline of a humansized figure through
21:53
which the trees and sky remained
21:54
visible. The witness stated, "Hi, in
21:58
1993, I was living in Antioch,
22:00
Tennessee. One afternoon at
22:02
approximately 3 p.m., I took my dog into
22:04
the front yard so he can relieve
22:06
himself. Most of the people in the
22:08
surrounding homes are away at work, and
22:10
the neighborhood was unusually quiet.
22:13
Almost immediately, I developed the
22:15
unmistakable feeling that something was
22:17
watching me.
22:18
I could not explain why, but the
22:20
sensation was strong enough to make me
22:22
stop and search the area. My attention
22:25
was drawn toward a wooded section
22:26
directly in front of the house. At
22:28
first, I could not see anything unusual.
22:32
Then I heard leaves and branches
22:33
rustling somewhere among the trees. The
22:37
sound did not seem to be coming from the
22:38
ground, so I began looking higher and
22:40
gradually scanned the treetops.
22:44
My eyesight was very good at the time. I
22:46
was completely sober, did not use drugs,
22:48
and did not consume any alcohol. When I
22:51
looked near the top of the trees, I saw
22:53
something crouched among the upper
22:54
branches. The only way I can describe it
22:57
is is comparing it to the cloak creature
23:00
in the movie Predator.
23:02
I do not remember whether I had even
23:04
seen the movie at that point, but the
23:06
comparison is the best description I can
23:08
offer. The figure appeared almost
23:10
invisible. I could see the outline and
23:12
general shape of its body, but I could
23:14
also see the surrounding tree and skies
23:17
through it.
23:19
It was approximate size of a grown man.
23:22
What made the site even more impossible
23:23
was its position. It was crouched near
23:26
the very top of a tree among branches
23:29
that did not appear strong enough to
23:31
support the weight of an ordinary
23:32
person.
23:34
Despite the figure's size, the branches
23:36
beneath it did not bend or break.
23:40
I stood in the yard staring at it,
23:42
trying to understand what I was seeing.
23:44
The figure remained motionless and
23:46
appeared to be watching me from above.
23:48
Now, for reasons I still can't
23:51
explain, fear did not immediately take
23:53
over. Instead, I released the dog's
23:56
leash, shouted, "Hey!" and began running
23:58
towards it.
24:00
The moment I charged forward, the figure
24:02
moved. It began running across the tops
24:05
of trees with incredible speed. It did
24:08
not climb down or leap to the ground. It
24:11
traveled from one tree trough to another
24:12
as though the thin branches formed a
24:15
solid pathway beneath it. The movement
24:18
was so fast and fluid that I had
24:20
difficulty following it with my eyes.
24:23
The branches and leaves shifted as it
24:25
passed, but the creature itself remained
24:27
almost immediately transparent or
24:29
completely transparent. I could still
24:31
make out its distorted outline as it
24:33
moved through the canopy.
24:36
After running a short distance, I
24:38
suddenly realized what I was doing. I
24:40
remember thinking, "What in the world
24:42
are you doing chasing this thing? I
24:44
stopped and continued watching it." The
24:47
figure also stopped approximately 50
24:49
yards from where I had first seen it. It
24:51
turned around and appeared to look
24:53
directly back at me. Although I couldn't
24:56
see any facial features, I had no doubt
24:59
that its attention was focused on me.
25:02
After pausing for several seconds, it
25:04
turned away and continued moving through
25:06
the treetops. It traveled deeper into
25:08
the woods until the outline disappeared
25:11
completely among the branches. Now, I
25:14
remained there staring into the trees,
25:15
but I never saw it again. Now, once the
25:19
encounter was over, the full impact of
25:20
what had happened just struck me. I It
25:23
scared the hell out of me. I knew that I
25:26
had seen something approximately human
25:27
in size, but nearly invisible, moving
25:30
across the branches that should not have
25:32
been able to sport it.
25:34
For many years, I never told anyone
25:36
about the experience because I was
25:38
certain people would think I was nuts.
25:40
Even now, I can't explain what the
25:43
figure was, how it concealed itself, or
25:46
how it moved so quickly through the
25:47
treetops. I only know that it was real.
25:50
It was watching me and it reacted the
25:52
moment I ran toward it.
25:55
Now, this report contains several
25:57
characteristics found in what we call
25:59
the glimmer man or cloaked human
26:01
encounter or humanoid encounter.
26:04
Witnesses typically describe a
26:05
distortion resembling heat waves,
26:07
rippling glass, clear gel in or advanced
26:11
camouflage.
26:12
Now, the outline of the figure remain
26:14
visible, but it surroundings can be seen
26:17
through its body. Now, the Antioch
26:20
entity also appeared capable moving
26:22
across the highest branches of the trees
26:24
without breaking them or causing them to
26:26
bend beneath its weight.
26:29
The witness heard movement in the
26:30
canopy, so the entity interacted with
26:32
the physical environment. Yet, its body
26:34
appeared almost transparent, and its
26:36
weight did not seem consistent with its
26:39
human-like size.
26:41
The figure also demonstrated awareness
26:43
and intelligence. And when the witness
26:45
stopped chasing it, the entity stopped
26:47
as well, turned around and looked back
26:49
at him. This did not seem like the
26:52
behavior of ordinary animal fleeing from
26:54
danger. It seemed deliberate.
27:00
Now, the next account occurred in an
27:02
abandoned community somewhere in
27:03
northeastern Tennessee.
27:06
The exact location was not disclosed,
27:08
but the witness described a 5-ft tall
27:10
bobetal creature covered in matted
27:12
brownish black hair.
27:15
Its most disturbing features were its
27:18
smooth, flat face and glowing red eyes.
27:21
The witness stated, "What did I see? I
27:25
still cannot say with any certainty.
27:29
What I can say is that it was
27:31
approximately 5 foot tall, stood upright
27:32
on two legs, and had glowing red eyes
27:34
set in a strangely flat face.
27:38
We encountered in an abandoned town in
27:40
northeastern Tennessee in an area that
27:42
already felt isolated and forgotten.
27:46
The creature was covered in brown black
27:47
hair or fur that appeared thick,
27:49
tangled, and badly matted.
27:52
Its lower legs were obscured by the
27:54
roadside ditch in which it was standing,
27:56
so we never were able to get a clear
27:59
look at its feet or the exact shape of
28:01
its legs.
28:03
Its upper limbs, however, moved in a
28:05
distinctly humanlike manner.
28:09
It seemed to be using them as though
28:11
hands were attached rather than paws or
28:13
claws.
28:15
When we first noticed it, the creature
28:16
was scrambling around on the embankment
28:19
directly in front of it, apparently
28:21
searching for something.
28:23
It wasn't digging into the ground.
28:26
The movements reminded me more of a
28:28
person who had dropped a piece of
28:29
jewelry or another small object in the
28:31
grass and was carefully trying to locate
28:33
it. We slowed the car and and directed a
28:37
bright light toward it. Even under the
28:40
illumination, I could not make out any
28:42
visible mouth or nose. His face appeared
28:45
unusually smooth and featureless except
28:47
for the eyes.
28:49
The creature did not flinch, turn away,
28:51
or move a muscle as we passed and slowed
28:54
down for the better look. It seemed
28:56
completely unconcerned by our presence.
28:58
Now, oddly enough, it did not appear
29:00
threatening or aggressive. Despite its
29:03
unnatural appearance, it didn't I did
29:05
not feel that I was it was preparing to
29:08
attack us. It simply stood there, frozen
29:10
in place, staring in our direction while
29:13
remaining focused on whatever had drawn
29:15
his attention to the embankment.
29:18
As strange and as cliche as it may
29:20
sound, the eyes did not appear red
29:22
because of ordinary reflected light.
29:25
They seemed to be glowing from within,
29:27
producing its own steady illumination.
29:30
Even assuming it was merely eye shine,
29:32
the only animal in that area that I know
29:34
red eyes shine is the night heron.
29:37
There's no possibility that what we saw
29:40
was a bird. Someone later suggested the
29:44
creature may have been a moatman type
29:45
entity.
29:47
I did not see any wings, although it was
29:49
dark and it is possible that the wings
29:51
could have been folded against its body
29:53
or concealed beneath the thick matted
29:55
covering.
29:57
Nothing about the encounter gave us
29:59
enough time or visibility to make a
30:00
definite identification.
30:03
I should also mention that something
30:05
bearing a similar description was
30:07
reportedly seen in the region many years
30:09
ago. According to local people I later
30:12
spoke with, these sightings dated back
30:14
to the 1920s.
30:16
Now, I do not know whether the reports
30:18
are connected, but the similarities were
30:20
difficult to dismiss. The encounter
30:22
lasted only a short time. Yet, the image
30:25
of the creature has remained with me.
30:27
Its flat, nearly featureless face,
30:29
glowing eyes, and strangely deliberate
30:31
hand movements were unlike anything I'd
30:34
ever seen in the Tennessee wilderness.
30:36
Whatever it was, it did not resemble any
30:38
known animal native to the area.
30:43
Now, the creature's behavior is one of
30:44
the most intriguing aspects of this
30:46
report. It was not feeding, digging, or
30:48
attempting to conceal itself. It
30:51
appeared to be using its hands to search
30:53
carefully through the vegetation for a
30:55
small object.
30:56
Even when illuminated by the vehicle's
30:58
bright lights, the being didn't run. His
31:01
face appeared flat and almost completely
31:03
featureless. No mouth or nose could be
31:06
seen. Only the red eyes were clearly
31:08
visible. Now, the witness believed the
31:10
eyes produced their own illumination
31:12
rather than reflecting the vehicle's
31:14
lights. Similar reports of glowing eyed
31:18
featureless humanoids have emerged from
31:20
isolated roads, abandoned settlements,
31:22
and wood areas throughout Appalachia.
31:25
Some are described as hairy, while
31:27
others appear smooth skinned or
31:29
shadowlike.
31:31
The witness also learned of a
31:33
potentially similar creature reported in
31:35
the same region during the 1920s.
31:38
Was this an isolated encounter or did
31:40
the witness seen an entity has been
31:42
present in the region for generations?
31:48
Now, this next report returns us to Ran
31:51
Mountain area. The encounter occurred
31:53
one evening in 2010 as three witnesses
31:56
traveled along a dark two-lane road
31:58
after a birthday dinner.
32:02
Now, the driver was accompanied by her
32:04
former partner and his son. And as they
32:06
approached a cemetery located above the
32:09
roadway, they saw what initially
32:10
appeared to be a large white ball moving
32:13
onto the highway.
32:15
The object then began approaching them
32:17
and as the distance closed, the
32:19
witnesses realized that it was not a
32:21
ball. It was a creature.
32:24
The primary witness described the being
32:26
as a bizarre combination of human and
32:28
reptile.
32:30
It possessed two humanlike arms and two
32:32
legs connected to a thick alligator-like
32:34
body.
32:36
Its entire form was stark white,
32:39
resembling the color of a freshly of
32:41
freshly fallen snow. The creature
32:44
crawled low against the pavement,
32:45
dragging or pulling itself forward on
32:47
its stomach in a reptilian manner.
32:50
The driver hoped that it would leave the
32:53
roadway and disappear into the
32:54
surrounding woods. Instead, it continued
32:57
moving directly towards their vehicle.
33:00
She believed that a collision was
33:02
inevitable and slammed on the brakes.
33:04
Immediately before reaching the front
33:06
bumper, the creature reportedly began
33:08
spinning violently.
33:10
The witness compared the movement to a
33:12
small tornado or rapidly rotating mass.
33:17
The figure seemed certain to strike the
33:18
front of the car. Instead, it passed
33:20
beneath the bumper and disappeared under
33:22
the radiator area. The three witnesses
33:25
remained inside the vehicle shaken and
33:27
terrified.
33:29
They expected to hear an impact or feel
33:31
the vehicle strike the creature, but
33:33
there was no sound, no physical jolt, or
33:35
no visible evidence of a collision.
33:38
When they looked behind them, the entity
33:40
was gone. The driver continued to
33:42
describe the being as having two
33:44
human-like arms, two legs with a
33:46
reptilian midsection resembled that of
33:49
an alligator.
33:51
Its movements were unlike those of any
33:53
known animal she had ever encountered.
33:56
All three witnesses agreed that whatever
33:58
crossed the road that night did not seem
34:00
to be a normal living creature.
34:03
The former partner later stated that
34:06
time seemed to stand still during the
34:07
incident. Everything appeared to slow
34:10
down, creating the impression that the
34:11
encounter lasted much longer than it
34:13
actually had. The witnesses also
34:16
recalled experiencing an intense feeling
34:18
of dread before the creature appeared.
34:20
They described the atmosphere as deeply
34:22
oppressive, as though something evil or
34:24
threatening was present nearby. That
34:27
sensation intensified as they approached
34:29
the cemetery and remained with them
34:32
throughout the encounter. Even after the
34:35
creature vanished, the witnesses
34:36
continued to feel frightened and
34:38
disturbed. They were convinced that they
34:40
had experienced something completely
34:42
outside the natural world.
34:46
Now, this encounter combined several
34:47
highly unusual elements. The entity
34:50
appeared to emerge from the direction of
34:52
the cemetery. It possessed both human
34:54
and reptilian characteristics. His body
34:56
was white. It crawled directly toward an
34:59
approaching vehicle instead of
35:00
attempting to escape.
35:02
Immediately before contact, it
35:04
transformed to an rapidly spinning shape
35:06
and vanished beneath the vehicle without
35:08
producing an impact. Three people
35:11
observed the event, reducing the
35:13
likelihood that it was a momentarily
35:15
visual error experienced by a single
35:17
witness.
35:19
The reported slowing of time and also is
35:21
also significant. Similar temporal
35:24
distortions have been described during
35:25
UFO encounters, crypted sightings,
35:28
apparational
35:29
experiences, and other episodes of high
35:31
stranges.
35:33
Was the spinning motion a physical
35:35
defensive response, a distortion
35:37
surrounding the creature, or a moment
35:39
the entity left our visible environment?
35:42
Whatever happened on that road, the
35:44
witness believed that the creature
35:45
deliberately approached them.
35:50
Now, the next encounter occurred on
35:52
September 4th, 2022 during Labor Day
35:56
weekend. The location was 800 block of
35:58
Iron Bridge Road in Columbia, Tennessee.
36:01
The witness, Garland B, had hosted a
36:03
family cookout at his home. At
36:05
approximately 900 p.m., he and his
36:07
brother-in-law were sitting beneath the
36:08
carport and talking about the evening's
36:10
activities were while the evening's
36:13
activities were winding down. Now,
36:16
Garland initially reported, "I saw
36:18
something resembling the Moth Man across
36:20
the street from my home during Labor Day
36:22
weekend in 2022.
36:26
We had held a family cookout in my house
36:28
and my and by approximately 9:00 p.m.,
36:31
we were finishing the cleanup. My
36:33
brother-in-law and I were sitting under
36:34
the carport talking when I noticed what
36:36
appeared to be a person standing near my
36:38
neighbor's basement door.
36:40
I knew my neighbor was not home at the
36:42
time, so I stood up to get a better look
36:44
and see what the individual was doing. I
36:46
called out, "Hey." At that moment, a
36:49
pair of wings unfolded from the figure's
36:52
body. The creature then glided upward
36:55
and landed on the roof of the house.
36:58
Once on the roof, began walking toward
37:00
the opposite side.
37:02
I moved in the direction it had gone,
37:04
hoping to see it again, but it continued
37:06
further away and disappeared from view.
37:09
I searched the area, but I couldn't
37:11
locate it. I had not seen anything
37:13
similar since that night. I later
37:16
learned that a moth man-like creature
37:18
had reportedly been cited near State
37:19
Route 840, approximately 25 miles north
37:22
of my home.
37:24
Now, I initially contacted Garland by
37:26
email. He later telephoned me and
37:28
provided an additional details about the
37:30
encounter.
37:32
He explained that he noticed movement
37:34
near his neighbor's basement entrance.
37:36
Then he looked more closely and saw a
37:37
dark humanlike figure standing beside
37:40
the basement door. Since Garland knew
37:42
that the neighbor was away from the
37:44
property, he stood and shouted, "Hey."
37:46
The figure immediately unfurled a pair
37:48
of massive feathered wings. It then
37:51
slowly descended from the basement
37:53
entrance and landed on the roof.
37:56
Ascended from the basement entrance and
37:57
landed on the roof of the neighbor's
37:59
house. And as Garland watched, he
38:01
observed that the entity appeared to be
38:02
covered entirely in dark feathers. The
38:05
feathering extended from the top of his
38:07
head down to the length of its body and
38:08
over its legs. Now, he did not describe
38:12
exposed skin, recognizable clothing, or
38:14
any other clearly identifiable human
38:16
feature, facial features. Now, the
38:19
winged humanoid remained standing on the
38:20
roof for a short time before beginning
38:22
to move across it. Now, Garling could
38:25
hear distinct rustling and shuffling
38:27
sounds as the creature walked over the
38:29
roofing material. It eventually crossed
38:31
towards the opposite side of the house
38:33
and disappeared from view. Carlin
38:35
approached the neighboring property and
38:37
moved in the direction the entity had
38:39
traveled. Despite searching the area, he
38:41
was unable to locate it again. He did
38:44
not hear the sound of wings, see the
38:46
figure fly away, or observe it
38:48
descending from the roof. Now, during
38:50
our tele telephone conversation, Garland
38:53
became emotional while discussing the
38:55
events that followed the sighting.
38:57
Within approximately one year of the
38:58
encounter, his mother, his aunt, and his
39:00
neighbor, whose house the creature had
39:02
stood beside all passed away. Garland
39:05
wondered whether the winged humanoids
39:07
appearances somehow foreshadowed those
39:09
deaths.
39:11
He expressed a strong desire to
39:12
understand what he had witnessed and why
39:14
the entity had appeared near his home
39:16
that particular night. Now, after
39:19
watching the winged humanoid segment
39:20
featured on Netflix Unsolved Mysteries,
39:23
Garland felt compelled to contact the
39:25
program and report his experience. The
39:28
similarities between the entity he
39:30
observed and the other reported
39:31
Momanlike beings convinced him that his
39:34
sighting could be connected to the
39:36
broader humanoid winged humanoid
39:39
phenomenon.
39:43
Now, I'm not convinced that Moth Man and
39:44
any other winged humanoid necessarily
39:46
serve as harbingers of death, tragedy,
39:48
or impending misfortune. Many winged
39:51
humanoid sightings occur without any
39:53
known tragedy following the event.
39:55
However, Garland clearly believes that
39:57
the entity's appearance may have been
40:00
important connected to the deaths that
40:02
occurred during the following year.
40:05
The physical details are also
40:07
noteworthy. The being appeared humanlike
40:09
while standing near the basement door.
40:11
Only after Garlin confronted it did it
40:14
did the wings become visible. Now the
40:16
entity did not flap violently or launch
40:18
itself into like a large large bird. It
40:22
reportedly unfolded its wings slowly
40:24
ascended and landed on the roof.
40:27
Once there, it walked across the house
40:29
heavily enough to produce audible
40:31
rustling and scuffling sounds. Was
40:33
Garland observing the manifestation of a
40:35
moth man? or was this another form of
40:38
feathered winged humanoid?
40:42
Now, our final report takes us to an old
40:45
farmhouse outside Jonesboro, Tennessee.
40:50
The account was passed down through the
40:51
family of a World War II veteran. It
40:54
involved one of the veterans former Navy
40:56
shipmates, a man described as courageous
40:59
and unafraid of physical danger.
41:02
The witnesses served a aboard a Navy
41:05
destroyer during the war and later
41:06
returned to Tennessee.
41:09
He eventually purchased the farmhouse
41:11
surrounded by open land with a dense
41:13
forest located directly behind the
41:14
residents. Now, from the time the family
41:16
moved into the house, unusual activity
41:18
began occurring around the property.
41:21
They heard unexplained knocking at the
41:23
door late at night. When someone checked
41:25
outside, no visitor was present. There
41:28
were also strange noises and other
41:30
unsettling incidents, although the
41:32
family initially dismissed them as
41:34
normal sounds of an aging rural home or
41:36
animals moving across the property.
41:39
One night, the man was awakened by a
41:41
blood curling shriek coming from the
41:43
forest behind the farhouse.
41:47
He described the scream as sounding like
41:48
a woman being brutally attacked or
41:50
murdered. It was loud, prolonged, and
41:52
unlike anything he had recognized from
41:54
the local wildlife.
41:57
The man was not someone who frightened
41:59
easily. He had survived wartime service
42:01
and was accustomed to danger. He
42:03
retrieved his shotgun, stepped outside,
42:05
and began searching the backyard in the
42:07
edge of the woods. And as he scanned the
42:10
darkness near the tree line, he noticed
42:11
a pair of yellowish eyes staring
42:14
directly at him. Now, the eyes were not
42:17
positioned three or four feet above the
42:18
ground, where the eyes of a deer, dog,
42:21
or other common animal might appear.
42:23
They were approximately 7 ft above the
42:25
ground. He could see a body outline or a
42:28
recognizable He could not see a body
42:31
outline or recognizable silhouette. The
42:34
darkness surrounding the eyes seemed
42:35
impenerable,
42:37
and all he could see were the two yellow
42:39
eyes staring steadily at him from the
42:41
edge of the forest. He later said that
42:44
the eyes appeared disturbingly human.
42:47
They didn't move like the eyes of an
42:49
animal. The unseen being showed no
42:51
indication of fear, hesitation, or
42:53
aggression. It simply stood there and
42:56
watched him. The witness raised his
42:59
shotgun, aimed directly between the
43:00
eyes, and fired at close range. The
43:03
blast should have struck something with
43:05
if it was standing near the trees.
43:08
The figure did not fall. It did not
43:10
recoil. It didn't cry out. It didn't
43:13
even flinch. The yellow eyes remained in
43:16
the exact same position, continually
43:18
stared directly at him. There was no
43:20
sound of an animal crashing through the
43:22
brush or no visible movement among the
43:23
trees. The beam did not charge him, but
43:26
it also made no attempt to retreat. It
43:29
appeared completely unaffected by the
43:31
shun shotgun blast. That lack of
43:34
reaction frightened him more than the
43:36
original scream. He realized he might be
43:39
facing something that was not a normal
43:41
animal and possibly not anything that
43:43
could be physically harmed. He returned
43:46
to the farmhouse deeply shaken. The
43:48
encounter continued to disturb him long
43:50
after that night.
43:52
Now, at some point, he underwent a form
43:54
of regression in an attempt to recover
43:56
additional memories or understand what
43:59
had happened at the treeine. The process
44:01
apparently had a devastating effect on
44:03
him. Shortly after the regression, the
44:06
man experienced a complete mental
44:07
breakdown. According to those who knew
44:10
him, he was never entirely the same
44:12
again. He became convinced that the
44:15
yelloweyed entity had some had somehow
44:17
attached itself to his life and had
44:20
caused lasting psychological and
44:22
spiritual damage. And until the day he
44:25
died, he blamed the encounter for
44:27
destroying his peace of mind and
44:29
ultimately ru re ruining his life.
44:32
Whatever stood near the Tennessee tree
44:34
line was never identified. The memory of
44:36
those elevated humanlike eyes and the
44:39
bean's complete lack of reaction to the
44:41
shotgun blast remain with him for the
44:44
rest of his life.
44:47
Now, the eight reports presented tonight
44:49
represented different regions,
44:51
witnesses, time periods, and and types
44:53
of unexplained phenomena.
44:56
Yet, several patterns connect them.
44:58
Multiple witnesses experienced the
44:59
unmistakable sensation of being watched
45:01
before they located the entity. The
45:04
Cherokee Devil witness heard howls and
45:06
knocks around her homestead before
45:07
seeing the whitish gray creature near
45:09
the creek. The young witness in eastern
45:12
Tennessee felt watched after
45:14
encountering the enormous black canine.
45:17
The Antioch witness sensed an unseen
45:19
presence before discovering that the
45:21
cloaked humanoid crouched in the
45:22
treetops.
45:24
Several entities appeared to possess
45:25
humanlike intelligence. The Perry County
45:28
creature stopped and listened when the
45:30
witness spoke to it. The Rone Mountain
45:33
giant approached silently, vocalized at
45:35
close range, and may have commun
45:38
communicated uh approval or recognition.
45:41
The cloaked entity reacted to the
45:43
witness's pursuit, stopped when he
45:45
stopped, and deliberately looked back at
45:48
him. The redeyed creature in the
45:50
abandoned town used its hands in a
45:52
careful, purpose, purposeful manner,
45:55
almost as if it was searching for a
45:56
specific object. Other reports involved
46:00
apparent violations of normal physical
46:03
behavior. The ruin mountain giant seemed
46:06
to step through an opening. In reality,
46:08
the Antioch entity moved across the
46:11
branches that should have should not
46:13
have supported its weight. The white
46:15
reptilian creature spun in a rapidly
46:18
rotating form and vanished beneath the
46:19
vehicle without impact.
46:22
And the Jonesboro being remained
46:24
completely unaffected after a shotgun
46:26
was fired directly between its eyes.
46:29
Time and percept perception also played
46:32
a role. The R mountain witness believed
46:34
it had been outside for approximately 20
46:36
minutes, but nearly an hour had passed.
46:39
The occupants of the vehicle near Rome
46:41
Mountain felt that time slowed or
46:43
stopped as the white creature approached
46:45
them. Emotion emotional and
46:47
psychological effects appeared in
46:49
several cases. Some witnesses
46:52
experienced overwhelming dread before
46:54
the entity appeared. Others suffered
46:57
long-term anxiety, fear of the woods,
46:58
emotional distress, or mental breakdowns
47:01
after their encounter.
47:03
These reactions may result from the
47:05
trauma of seeing something that should
47:06
not exist. However, we must also
47:09
consider whether certain entities are
47:11
capable of influencing human perception,
47:14
emotion, or neurological activity.
47:18
Tennessee's landscape provides an ideal
47:20
setting for unexplained encounters. The
47:22
state contains isolated mountain
47:24
communities, extensive forest, cave
47:26
systems, abandoned settlements,
47:28
waterways, ridges, and areas with
47:30
generations of indigenous and
47:32
Appalachian lore.
47:35
There are places where old traditions,
47:37
modern witness reports, and unexplained
47:39
physical events seem to overlap.
47:42
Are these beings native to the Tennessee
47:45
wilderness? Do they move through the
47:47
landscape unseen until the chance
47:49
encounter exposes them? Are there
47:51
physical are they physical animals,
47:53
supernatural entities, interdimensional
47:55
visitors, or manifestations connected to
47:58
the land itself? We may not have
48:01
definitive answers. What we do have are
48:03
witnesses who continue to carry the
48:05
memory of those encounters years or even
48:07
decades later. They remember the eyes.
48:10
They remember the movement. They
48:11
remember the silence.
48:13
Most of all, they remember the
48:15
realization that something was watching
48:17
them from the darkness.
48:19
This has been unexplained Tennessee.

49:07
So, if you have a question, please place
49:09
it in all caps and I will try to answer
49:12
as best I can for you.
49:28
Michelle, do you think the reptilian
49:30
creature was actually hurt and that's
49:31
why it landed in the road the way it
49:34
did? Possibly looking for help. I have
49:35
no idea.
49:37
Honestly, I haven't heard of anything
49:39
similar to that. Though, I have heard of
49:42
another large reptilian creature on Ren
49:45
Mountain uh years previous to that. So,
49:49
um I don't know. I don't know what the
49:51
whole deal was of this creature. Uh I do
49:54
believe they saw something and um
49:58
I mean since all three of them saw it so
50:01
it's hard to tell what it was.
50:09
Michelle, do you think the being
50:11
crouched in the trees with
50:12
extraterrestrial
50:14
or do you think it was possibly a
50:15
vampire? Um, I I I think it was what we
50:18
consider to be
50:20
a a glimmer man. Uh, maybe an
50:23
ultraterrestrial being, could be an
50:24
extraterrestrial. We just don't know
50:26
what they are. Um,
50:29
you know, that's why we continue to
50:31
collect these reports about these this
50:33
phenomena. Uh hopefully we will get
50:37
reports that will shine a little more
50:40
light and maybe a little more
50:43
uh theory as to what we really what
50:45
people are really seeing.
50:50
Paranormalism net tell us about through
50:52
the woods the cryptids of Pennsylvania.
50:56
Oh well this is a documentary that I'm
50:58
working with um some filmmakers in York
51:01
Pennsylvania. Uh they've it's been going
51:04
on for about a year now. Um they had
51:07
they were at a presentation that Rissa
51:09
Miller and I did about a year ago and uh
51:13
then they wanted to wanted me to discuss
51:15
the um
51:18
uh the Moth Man, the winged humanoid and
51:21
the other winged humanoid sightings in
51:23
in South Central Pennsylvania as well as
51:25
my Bigfoot encounter down in Maryland.
51:28
So, I don't know when it's going to be
51:30
coming out, but there's there's other
51:33
researchers and investigators in this
51:35
area that are part of it as well. So, it
51:37
should be a very interesting doc.
51:44
Sir Wolf, how long glimmerman on top of
51:46
the trees, thin branches make no sense.
51:48
Could it be an astral form that is
51:50
bleeding into the plane? This plane
51:52
semi-present? What's your take on it?
51:54
Very well could be. I mean, it could be
51:56
a light being of some type, and you
51:58
know, it could be an apparition, a
51:59
manifestation
52:02
that just takes a more spirit form when
52:04
it comes through to this plane.
52:07
I mean, your guess is as good as mine.
52:09
You know, we wrote the book. We're
52:11
probably going to do another one
52:13
eventually. We keep collecting these
52:15
these accounts and uh we'll just have to
52:18
wait and see.
52:23
Dagnamet, have you heard of the stag
52:25
king of Hermitage? A large buck with a
52:27
human face that lives on the property.
52:28
Whether they're dear, haven't heard of
52:30
that one. If you had an account, send it
52:32
to me. I appreciate it.
52:40
That's the same question.
52:48
Can's quatch, have you been getting more
52:49
reports since you posted a call from
52:52
more wing humanoid sightings on your
52:54
community tab? If so, have any been
52:56
surprising different than ones in the
52:59
past?
53:01
I I'm probably getting a few more
53:04
reports, but honestly the um the content
53:08
and descriptions are very similar to
53:10
what we've had
53:12
um you know after we did the Netflix um
53:18
presentation. We received about 130
53:21
reports directly from Unsolved
53:23
Mysteries. Well, I did receive them and
53:25
I started looking into them and uh then
53:28
I gave Tobias some to look at. We got a
53:30
lot of worldwide reports. About 30 came
53:32
from uh from the Chicagoland area.
53:36
This phenomena is a worldwide is a
53:38
worldwide phenomena. I mean and and many
53:41
times the the reports and the
53:43
descriptions are very similar.
53:50
James Borg, any known stories from the
53:52
Knoxville area? Yeah, it could be, but I
53:54
can't remember them off hand. Um,
53:58
I can't think off hand what we The only
54:01
thing I have ever gotten from Knoxville,
54:03
which you may be interested, you and you
54:05
and Ray, are some UFO sightings have had
54:08
for several years around there. Um,
54:11
mostly what we call these um
54:16
plasma-like beings, plasma-like um craft
54:20
that kind of um shapeshift while they're
54:23
flying. Many of them were donut shaped
54:26
with a hole in the middle. So, if you're
54:30
interested, I had to dig them out. I
54:31
mean, I know you went through the site
54:33
or went through some of the stuff for
54:35
the book. So, um I don't know if you saw
54:37
it there or not.
54:42
DM it. There's a crypted in Tennessee
54:44
called the Chica. Have you heard of
54:47
that? No, I haven't heard of that one
54:48
either.
54:50
Again, you got any information, please
54:52
send it to me.
54:58
Michelle, do you think that the being
55:00
that went through the portal with the
55:02
green glow after observing the man watch
55:04
watching the moon was a hybrid
55:05
halfhuman?
55:07
I don't know. I think it was probably a
55:10
Bigfoot, you know, just from the
55:12
description and from other reports I
55:15
have received. Um,
55:19
we get a lot of these reports where
55:20
people see these things vanish like
55:22
they're going through a like a rift.
55:26
Um, that's not unusual. We got a lot of
55:29
those and it's just not in Tennessee.
55:31
It's in a lot of places.
55:37
Tyler 420. In Tennessee, there's a
55:40
crypted that much not many people talk
55:42
about and it's called the Barilla. Have
55:45
you heard of the creature? Yeah, I have
55:46
heard of that. I have heard of that. And
55:49
there's a similar creature up in in
55:52
South Dakota, too, that has been
55:55
messing with some of the um some of the
55:58
folks on some of the reservations in
56:00
South Dakota as well. And it's it's kind
56:03
of like a bare human like being. I'd say
56:06
a barefoot human-like being. I don't
56:10
know if that's what you're talking
56:11
about, but uh I do specifically remember
56:14
sightings of those.
56:19
Jose Sanchez, could their strange
56:21
non-reaction behavior be staring back at
56:24
people be that of genuinely confused or
56:26
even amused by people's behavior?
56:29
Um I've heard a lot of that. I think
56:33
when they stare at people, any crypted,
56:36
any being itself, I think a lot of it is
56:38
surprised that they realize they're
56:40
starting to realize that people are
56:42
actually seeing them. Uh, and they're
56:45
probably surprised as as surprised as
56:47
the human witnesses are. Uh, but we do
56:50
hear a lot of that.
56:56
Michelle, do you think the Cherokee
56:57
Devil understood that the family was
56:59
just there to live and not intend to
57:01
change or destroy the land and that's
57:03
why he didn't attack him? Sure. I I
57:05
think um he he
57:09
understood the intention, especially
57:11
when they were feeding dead animals to
57:13
it. Um
57:16
and just not disturbing it. Um
57:19
I mean, she had the gun, didn't shoot it
57:21
or anything like that. She tried to calm
57:23
it down. Uh thunderstorm, thank you for
57:26
the uh what was the question again?
57:31
Have you ever heard of Nordic aliens?
57:33
Yeah, we have. Uh tall whites. In fact,
57:36
I did a report about tall whites today
57:38
on the blog
57:40
uh and some of the um and some of the
57:44
encounters that Charles Hill had with
57:47
the tall whites. Um, but yeah, I I've
57:50
heard a uh several Nordic alien
57:54
encounters.
57:59
How he's staring in line. Any word from
58:01
Larry Arnold
58:03
at SHC? I haven't heard from him in a
58:06
long time.
58:08
I have not heard of him in a long time.
58:16
Can watch any crypto reports tied to
58:18
caves in Tennessee? Yeah, there there
58:22
are. Um,
58:24
you know, most of the most of the
58:26
reports I get from caves in the
58:29
southwest part of the country involve
58:34
reptilian like beings or
58:38
something very similar to what
58:41
extraterrestrials have been described
58:42
as. Um,
58:46
as well as feral people. I mean, you
58:48
know, are also pale humanoids.
58:55
Paula, New York City. Lon, are you still
58:58
working with Shorter to Cook? I haven't
59:00
heard from Elise, I mean Delise in about
59:04
a year and a half. Um, she is a
59:07
filmmaker.
59:09
She has done a lot of work over the
59:11
years with um
59:14
with uh Alan Jackson and she was part of
59:18
the uh Lord of the Rings trilogy too.
59:21
She did a lot of work on that. I don't
59:24
know if she's working on a project now.
59:26
This isn't unusual for her. I mean, she
59:28
can go missing for
59:31
a year or a year or two at a time,
59:35
but I have no really I haven't heard.
59:36
I've tried to contact her and as before,
59:39
but she usually shows up eventually.
59:45
Can Quatch, what about Oakidge
59:48
government facility? Any reports from
59:50
that area? Yeah, I do. I do have one.
59:55
Um, I just had to wait for the next
59:57
Tennessee
59:58
report. If you if you search um search
1:00:02
that in in the in the um in the archive,
1:00:06
it should pull up. It was about a u I
1:00:09
think it was a crypted canine or some
1:00:11
type of creature like that.
1:00:21
