A listener writes “I’m in Tennessee. I had a Sasquatch encounter back in the 70’s as a 13-14 year old boy, along with my friends. We riding motorcycles at a friends grandmothers house, and behind it, there was a hill that went up into the woods, and we used to ride the trail with our motorcycles, and as we went up the hill for a brief second, but I’d say seconds we saw at the top of the hill to our left standing by the big pine tree, a Sasquatch.
It was standing in a place where they was a drop off about 4 feet, and it was still head and shoulders above us, and I was on motorcycles, where we were so terrified that I knew I would get a whipping from my dad if I rode my bike on the blacktop road to my house, but I refuse to go back down the hill to Mark’s grandmothers, and never rode the hill again we had grownups go up on the hill and they went to the spot. We showed them where it was standing and two brothers, which were men one had to stand on the other shoulder to reach up on the tree, limb of the pine tree and get some hair that was on the broken tree, limb at that time we had a cousin that is passed now, but he worked for the state of Tennessee wild live, and he took the sample of her to the University of Tennessee and got it analyzed, and it was inconclusive whether it was a primate or human and the hair according to them was of unknown origin . All these years later I’m 59 years old and I still will not go back on top of the hill. It was terrifying smelly just unbelievably huge.
I haven’t shared the story with anyone, but my wife and I talked with one of the friends Mark that was there that day and it’s just like we were there when we discussed it. I know this sounds far-fetched, but I know what I saw what we saw what we experienced does not fall into the unexplained because we all knew it was Bigfoot. No doubt. I love your show enjoy the questions and answers and this is kind of cut and dry. My email is but I really don’t know how to open up and talk about this possibly the way I should the ridicule of where I was raised. But I’ve been just too much BS when I got home that day on my motorcycle, my daddy was waiting with a tapping foot but when he saw my face and asked me what was wrong I told him what we had saw and he says I know son or I have saw it to years ago. Thank you for your time.”
