Im not sure what year it was as im 37 now at that time i was 12 years old and living in gibson county in the area of idlewild tennessee at 141 pratt cemetery rd a mile or two from cades where a few yrs before my sighting there was one on cades rd by a couple it was my moms birthday it was almost fully dark just barely any light left me and my brothers were playing in the woods behind our house wed always played out there and then my mom yelled down for us to come get ice cream so being the older brother i told my brother to go get the ice cream and id wait getting wood for a fire a lie so i could spook my brother i climbed into a small tree and waited never hearing a sound watching for my brother and when he got to where i was he screamed and threw the icecream and ran i was confused and jumped down in what felt like slow motion and i turned to my right and 5ft away stood a massive dark figure with eyes glowing red i didnt smell anything or feel fear i felt absolutely excited and ran yelling i just saw bigfoot after my mom got us calmed down and my stuttering stoped i told her and we got a hunting spot light and went back to where wed been the icecream cones were gone the ground was licked clean and no sign of it till later after my wolf dog lobo got killed by a snake he kept from getting into my room. I took his body out too the same woods where wed seen the bigfoot and since i couldnt find a shovel i covered him up with metal underpinning and quite a few big logs and left till i could find a shovel well a day or so later i got a shovel and went to burry him but he was gon everything strine so i began moving leaves around to see if there was any blood or his collar and what i found was shocking to me and a revelation later in life there was a spot the size of my dog that had been dug by a set of massive hands hands that would make shaqs hands look small and i left it at that till a year or 2 later and went back and dug it up and sure enough my dogs skeleton was in the grave id found it stuck with me and about 4 years ago i was doing research on that area of my old stomping grounds and found that the sighting on cades road before mine was seen and side note thats in the bfro database so that can help you see when my sighting occured it got me thinking about stories of bigfoot creatures carrying off dogs then i thought in those stories the dogs are never seen again so that let me se this was something slig
Htly diffrent and because it burried my dog i now believe that without a shadow of a doubt bigfoot bury their dead and it was may that year that id saw it and that my dog had died so it was dry as a bone it took everything you had to dig in this dirt so thats my 100% true story ive been telling people about this my entire life since that day some believe me others dont only thing is now that area i played in no longer has trees so bigfoot moved on id honestly hoped to one day make a trip back to investigate more but sadly now thats impossible thank you for letting me tell my story and honor my brother i greatly appreciate that

Oh, I live about 15 to 20 minutes from Elizabethton, TN (in Johnson City).
I’m from Gibson Co, TN and have seen the red orange illuminated eyes two back yards up from mine. Not eye shine, illuminated. It was at least 4 feet taller than the chain link fence and I couldn’t tell you what it was it was so dark out.

Back in the early 60s we lived in an old cheap rental house out in the sticks . While we were gone a kitchen window was broken the landlord didn't replace the glass so a piece of roofing tin was nailed over it. One night my mom woke us up she heard a noise in the kitchen sitting on the table eating jelly from a jar was a fur covered creature that resembled a little boy . She screamed it screamed went out the broken window and leaped off the porch jumped a 5 ft tall fence and disappeared in the dense woods. This was in middle Tennessee.
Hand to God I've seen the water beast twice
