Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Forest People in Tennessee

What do you think they are?

Given the proximity to Arnold, they may have been PhDemons.

Some game cam footage released by a cop. It was recorded by a drug task force in Northern California.

They were looking to catch smugglers. The cams were set up about 22 miles in the woods.

Videos like that are what kind of upset me about skeptics that work in professional fields.
Not that that is a bigfoot.
It looks like a chimpanzee or orangutan arm. City/state employees receive more than a fair compensation and benefit package.
Yet, you would think you were asking them to break their own leg to go out and see if some a-hole released an illegal pet.
Much easier to make jokes about it than get off their butts long enough to see what's actually happening.

Reminds me of the "dumbazzes believe pythons are in Florida", attitude of the eighties.

Demons were the first thing that came to my mind.

You mean like when you were a baby? That's scary.

They kinda had that zombie vibe going. They didn't move around hardly at all, most of them just stood in place and turned to face the car as we went by. I remember one or two of them raising their arms to cover their eyes when the car's headlights hit them full on. Otherwise, I don't think any of them raised a hand in any way. Creepy.

For all I know, it was some high school astronomy class counting shooting stars. But it felt a lot more like an interrupted nature worship ritual.

And all those little-bitty beady eyes...that was the weirdest part.

Probably was some kids watching a meteor shower for class. Funny to think you took off because they were creepy, meanwhile they were thinking oh God we're about to get Deliveranced by these hillbillies.

This is obviously it. He noted all the cars and buses parked in the side of the road....

All of our field trips were at midnight.

Orangutan is what I thought. You can clearly see its arm. That's not a suit. If you read the comments below the video, some of them point out other noticeable features.

The cop stated the camera was on a tree, it was knocked down and the video leads one to believe it was covering the camera up with leaves. (As to hide it)

Heh, absolutely could be true. My car was a 1968 Buick LeSabre, only slightly smaller than a yacht, with more bondo than paint. The concern may absolutely have been flowing both ways.

Hehe, Obsessed, you have a great sense of humor. Thanks for mentioning it, I'd forgotten to say: not a single car, truck or vehicle of any kind anywhere in sight. It's like all those people walked out to that lonely hilltop in the woods.

If there'd been a line of cars on the side of the road as we made our way up the hill, I'm sure it would've felt a lot less creepy when we found the crowd. hmy:

I love stories like that, but it never even occurs to me to think there's something supernatural or cryptid or whatever. Maybe I'm unimaginative or über rational, but what I find entertaining about those stories is the not knowing what the hell was going on out there, despite the fact that it was probably more mundane than you'd think.

There were two groups of people doing their own thing, whatever it may have been, in a remote place at the same time, and the next day both were saying, "So what the hell do you think they were up to?"

As a teen growing up in the sticks, my friends and I used to go camping in the woods around our "holler", way way back up in there so we wouldn't get busted with the beer. One night in the wee hours we wandered off from camp on a half lit night hike and came across three other teenage guys we didn't know from somewhere else. I always thought it so strange that separate groups of people ended up in the same very remote spot at a random middle of the night time.

Of course, being teen boys in podunk Appalachia, the random encounter ended up with one of ours getting into a fistfight with one of theirs, but hey.

Urban legends.

And of course...as usual... the footage is shot in just such a way to be inconclusive.

I guess you missed the explanation.

Looked like a bear to me



Hello Obsessed... how you ben?

 

[Brave Volunteer]

No I didn't miss the explanation and that's exactly my point. Every time any supposed sasquatch footage is released, there is always some caveat at play that prevents it from being conclusive or even seriously compelling. Take this for example. Every single trail cam I've seen is mounted a few feet above ground. However this one just happens to be at ground level (which makes no sense) where, conveniently, we only get a leg and an arm in the field of view. I call bull****, just like I do with all of these videos.

I've said this before and I'll keep saying it. If these things really and truly existed, forget camera footage. They should've been in zoos by now.

Not too bad my friend. Thank you for asking.

My boy is almost as tall as I am and doing his rodeo thing. I'm just ready to get football season and deer season kicked off.

We need to go hog hunting real soon.

Like I said. You didn't read it very well.

It knocked it off the tree....

The timers were only set to run 5-10 secs to set up a time frame when the smugglers were moving through the area. The drug task force could not go check the cameras daily.

Look, freak has already stated that this thread is for folks to discuss the topic and the various things they may have heard or seen.

My suggestion is if you don't like the topic or wish to solely bash those of us posting up articles and videos, skip the thread.

If you are going to make comments about something, read it's entirety before doing so.
