Witness Account:
I was standing in my door getting some fresh air when my 4yr old said mommy look at the monkey monster and then my 6yr old said it was a bear monster. I looked up and just across the yard on the edge of some trees was this huge black hairy thing walking . I kept looking and I believe we saw big foot. I have lived in Tennessee all my life and I have never seen anything like this before. It freaked me out. I can't explain what I saw nor do I know what it was. I looked to be around 10-12 foot tall. It was tall walking on 2 legs with very long arms swaying back and forth. Black and hairy. My kids keep asking if the monster will come back.
Physical evidence:
I was in shock when I saw it I just froze.
Sounds:
Did hear some odd howls that night in the same area
