Not listened to this interview yet, but living in backwoods bible-belt country, I can’t even begin to explain how much it kills me when local folk just chalk sightings to “demons” and “shadow-people”, and then refuse to speak further of it, for fear of “raisin’ ire”, should they speak of such things.
We (me and the couple of guys I do this stuff with) actually found a quite active area, specifically because of folk refusal to traffic the area, for fear of upsetting the “ghosts” of Cherokee (that many locals claim to hear “screaming” in the woods) whom died on the Trail of Tears there (which passes through my hometown).
Gorgeous countryside in these parts.
Unfortunately, a whole helluvah lot of mind-numbing, fear-induced superstition as well.
:/
I’m convinced the family (or at least one member of it) in our primary research area understand some words, as just yesterday afternoon, around 4:15pm (central), we had a very obvious, very loud tree-knock in response to saying out loud we’d brought fruit (this is three times total, we’ve now had that response to that word, the first time being the afternoon of June 16th, when I caught such on video, along with a rock being thrown into my path).
Also, before anyone’s all, “You shouldn’t do that, it’s dangerous”, this is an…odd situation I’ve found myself in (they were basically already habituated, due to where they are located). I’ve talked to Wes about it, and they really don’t seem aggressive at all, save the time I had a rock zoom within about a foot of my head, after calling them “assholes” in front of some people I’d brought out there to experience this stuff.
Heh. Maybe “asshole” is another word they know?
:p
I understand this is based off sightings from the BFRO database, but seriously, that database is laughable to use in concern to locating Bigfoot “hot spots” in Tennessee. If anyone is in Tennessee, and wanting to find an active area for the eclipse, let me know.
I’m spending Monday in an extremely active area, just to see what kind of reaction our resident family has during this event.
Be the first time that far back in this particular area when the sky goes dark.
Can’t wait!
:p
Gum – According to some local legends pertaining to the battle of Stones River (in Murfreesboro, TN), soldiers discussed hearing “ghosts” screaming “like women”, in the woods east of McFadden’s Ford (which I -think- is the North-Northeast side of the park, though without Google Earth at the ready, don’t hold me to that).
I’ve always sorta attributed it to possible Sasquatch they heard, as that area is both right on the Stones River, and nearby (at the time) a very rural natural travel corridor (the railroad that crossed the area), and there still being reports of vocalizations from nearby that area still, today.
I don’t know of any direct mention of scavenging Sasquatch after the battle of Stones River, like Old Green Eyes, but man, if they’d been in the area and dealing with hunger pangs at the time (and it being cold as hell, early January), that battle would’ve offered a helluvah filling feast.
I suspect “Old Green Eyes”, the supposed hairy, glowing-green eyed monster that purportedly was seen eating dead soldiers on the Chickamauga battlefield soon after the battle, may have been a Sasquatch taking advantage of some easy grub via scavenging the deceased.
There’s two wildlife officers had a sighting, in the late nineties, at about ninety-hundred feet distance, on the trail behind the group cabin (or at least, so another wildlife officer I speak regularly about this stuff, tells me).
Standing Stone was one of Mary Green’s (of “50 Years of Bigfoot” infamy) old primary research sites, back in the day. I know several researchers whom have stated they’ve experienced activity there, over the years.
Janice Carter-Coy attended a few outings with Mary, in Standing Stone, waaay back, but it wasn’t an area associated with her claims (Those were supposedly in McMinn county, not far from Madisonville, just to be clear).
Based off the reports from that park that I’m aware of, I’d suggest tromping through the Eastern part of the park and giving the bottom areas a good look-see for arches and what not.

Also, that area IS remote, so please, be careful out there.
Good luck!
Oh man, You don’t wanna get me started on underground government weirdness. I live near AEDC. The weirdness we’ve gotten out of some people who’ve worked there over the years (as well as Oak Ridge) is mind boggling.
:p
I talked with two gentlemen that say they walked in on a sleeping Sasquatch, in this abandoned cabin, back in the mid-2000s.

Said that when they walked to the door, they scanned the floor “for rattlesnakes”, and noticed what they believed was an “old brown, rolled up carpet”, until it suddenly got up and walked out the back door on two legs a few seconds later. Was interesting, how they described the casualness of it’s departure.
Again, right there with ya. It would only make sense for them to make use of such available resources.
Nah, I usually end up so far from where we park, there’s no way to heft the hydrocal that far (and get any ground covered, at least) to do so.
Totally with ya on that.
There’s one sink-cave near this quarry that descends straight down for roughly eighty feet, with the cave entrance at the bottom having it’s own year-round “shower room” and fresh water source about twenty yards within, as well as several large rooms and passages connected to it (99.9% of which has yet to be explored, due to how hard it is just to get into). At the bottom of this sink, we’ve found bones ranging from bear, deer and even two Mastodon teeth.
Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest that they’d even use such topography towards pushing prey, unexpectedly to their death such a manner.
On a side note – Our second most active area is an abandoned quarry. We’ve had several instances of wood-knocking, while walking out of this quarry cave (which we camp in, while there), from atop the opposite ridge. We scaled it (this particular ridge) for the first time a couple of weeks ago, just to get a better idea of what our watcher was seeing, and found out we pretty much can’t exit, without them knowing about it.

Same quarry we had the boulder thrown at us, back in ’98 (episode 94, I think).
Also found these up there while snooping. About 18.5 inches.

I live in some of the most karst-rich terrain in North America, with there being roughly 2000 cynotes, (proper) sinks and caves in my county alone. Spelunking is damned near a mandatory childhood past time (before cell phones and the internet, at least) in my area of the state. Not tooting my own horn here, but I’ve actually been working the last few months with one of our state speleologists in an attempt to correlate sighting/encounter locations with known caves in those areas (he’s had a few instances he suspects were related to Sasquatch himself, over the years). The guy’s been hugely helpful in allowing me access to all of his maps, simply because he too wants to understand just what the hell is going on.
That being said, though I too am convinced they use any and all manner of available shelters (hell, I know of three caves locals associate specifically with these things), you’re gonna have a hard time convincing me they travel distances underground. I’ve been miles back in some of these caves, crawling and pulling myself through the subterranean meat-grinders down there, and I can tell you from personal experience, you can easily tell via simply looking at the floor whether something else has been through or not (like EVER in some instances).
Though there are some very dry caves, moisture trapped within such environments will, in very little time, absorb into the sediments, keeping them quite malleable and soft (thereby retaining prints). This isn’t always the case, mind you, but if a cave has any water in it (and most do, somewhere within their depths, as that’s what carves them out in the first place), it’s usually going to become so, soon enough (at least in the Southeastern U.S.).
Case in point – I know a guy whom was caving with some friends in the county northeast of my own, whom came across a paw print trackway, and figured (based on it still looking new) it was from an Eastern Cougar from a couple hundred years back. Nope. Turns out it was from an extinct American Jaguar, that got trapped in there during the last Ice Age.
That’s how barren and static most cave systems are – once you pass over, into the dark zone, there’s not much of anything living to disturb that which came before. And though I’m also convinced these creatures are the most athletically-inclined SOBs ever, unless their bones are made of pure, bendy cartilage, they’re not fitting through some of those passages (and even if their bones were, it’s still not happening).
Atop that, 99% of caves aren’t wide enough throughout their distance for anything of size (like, bigger than a rat) to continue through. Not to mention most cave systems, even in the same region, aren’t connected to one another (nor do they often have multiple entrances).
Not to mention genuine total darkness sucking the fun out of such travel trips.
Again, I’m right there agreeing with folk on knowing (common sense) that these creatures have to be making use of such shelter. Just not convinced on using natural cave systems for travel (again, I’m not commenting on mines, and I have absolutely no experience with lava-tube caves).
My wee-one, excitedly wanting to go search for cave monsters.
