Reported Tennessee Sightings
The following list of Tennessee bigfoot sightings is provided here to demonstrate that Tennessee has a history of sightings of large, hairy, man-like apes. This information is reprinted from The Bigfoot Casebook by Janet and Colin Bord. This book is available on Amazon.
A far more extensive database of Tennessee sighting reports can be found on the website of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.
If you have ever encountered a sasquatch in any manner, i.e., saw footprints, heard strange vocalizations, or actually saw one, please SUBMIT A REPORT, no matter how long ago the incident took place and even if you have submitted a report to another sasquatch research organization.
