Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 
Report Posted To GCBRO Web Site On:  April 1, 2006

DATE:    12/17/2004 
 

TIME:     3:00 - 4:00 pm
 

LOCATION:   Madison County,  Tennessee 
 

TERRAIN:    Wooded, there is a creek with cane and typical southern hardwood deciduous forest and some pine and cedar
 

OBSERVED:    I was with my children at a friend's house by invitation to check out the woods behind his house. The four of us went on a fact-finding trek through these woods. I noticed an area where I figured I might find some footprints, and I was right. I found a fourteen inch footprint, but unfortunately I didn't bother to guess the width. The width was wider than my size twelve shoe. This was in a small trench like ravine. Later that afternoon we went to the creek. There we found some telltale limb formations in the cane. In an area of this cane I stumbled across a bedding area. What was spooky was that I decided to lay down where the impression on the ground had been made and the size of what had been lying there to make that impression was huge. It had to have been around eight feet tall and at least five hundred pounds. I figured that the limb formations were probably an alarm system to alert the sasquatch of any uninvited guest, because of the positioning of the limbs surrounding the bedding area. 
 

Activities of Witness:   I have submitted reports before. I have been investigating bigfoot activity since my encounter on a camping outing a few years ago. This particular occasion was due to a conversation I had with this particular friend.
 

Description of Creature:  We did not see nor hear a sasquatch, but there was evidence of at least one sasquatch.
 

Other Notes:    The friend's story that triggered my investigation was about some friends wanting to go scare  a neighbor on halloween night.  They decided to go from the woods directly behind my friend's house over to this neighbor's house at night.  While they were going through the woods they could hear something following them.  It was basically matching  them step-for-step.  When they would walk it would walk.  One of them thought that there was something hiding behind a tree nearby.  Of course they thought that it was a person spying on them at first, but after awhile they thought that it was possibly not human and started to get spooked.  They decided to get out of there.  That is pretty much all I know of this story.  It sounded like bigfoot to me, and thus I decided to investigate.  Their trek that night would have taken them within one hundred yards of the bedding area that I mentioned in the report.
I also would like to add that I accidentally hit the enter  key while I was submitting the report.
I am still keeping my eyes and ears open, and will be submitting another report real soon.
