Tennessee Man's 1982 Bigfoot Encounter: A Father and Son's Chilling Experience

A fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Society. The witness, Mark, describes his experience growing up near a wooded area in Northwest Georgia, where he spent much of his time hunting and fishing with his family. Mark's first encounter with what he believes may have been a Bigfoot occurred in 1982, when he was 14 years old. He and his father had just acquired a boat and were fishing near Raccoon Mountain Pump Station, a hydroelectric power station operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority. As they fished, they noticed that every time they caught a fish, they would hear a "whooping" noise coming from a nearby cliff. At first, Mark's father thought the noise was being made by an owl, but Mark wasn't so sure. The sound was unlike anything he had ever heard before, and it seemed to be coming from a specific location on the cliff face. As they continued to fish, they noticed that the sound was always in response to them catching a fish, and it seemed to be coming from different directions. Mark's mother later confirmed that his father had told her about the strange noise, describing it as sounding like a monkey. Mark's mother also mentioned that when he was born, there was a small zoo in Chattanooga called Zooville, which had acquired a newborn chimpanzee named Hank. Mark and Hank were born on the same day, and Mark used to enjoy visiting Hank at the zoo. Mark's mother also confirmed that the noise they heard by the river sounded like Hank's whooping. This revelation validated Mark's memories of the encounter and added another layer of intrigue to the story. While Mark didn't see anything during his encounter, he is convinced that he and his father were being observed by something. He describes the sound as being made by a juvenile, rather than a large, guttural whoop. The sound was also echoing through a small canyon, which may have distorted the sound and made it difficult to determine the exact source. Mark's encounter is a fascinating account of a possible Bigfoot sighting, and it's sure to leave viewers wondering what really happened that day on the river.
