Riveting 1979 Bigfoot Encounter in Middle Tennessee: Father and Son's Chilling Experience

In a chilling tale from the YouTube channel Dixie Cryptid, a family's encounter with a mysterious creature in Middle Tennessee in 1979 has left a lasting impact. The video, titled "It Followed Her Home, BIGFOOT," shares the story of a family reunion where the topic of a strange encounter in the woods was brought up. The story begins with the narrator's great uncle, who was 67 years old at the time and had spent his whole life hunting in the woods. One night, while out raccoon hunting with his son, they came across a brush pile and let their dogs off the leads. Suddenly, something stood up in the middle of the pile and let out a scream so loud that it knocked the great uncle over. The creature was described as reddish-brown, standing 8 or 9 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The dogs ran back past them, and the great uncle and his son stood face-to-face with the creature for two or three seconds until it jumped up on top of the wood pile and leaped off, running up the hill. They turned and ran in the opposite direction, back to the house. The next morning, they found the 22 rifle they had dropped and left the property. The encounter had a profound effect on the family, with the great uncle never stepping foot on the property again and his son only returning to retrieve the rifle. The family was always afraid that people would think they were crazy or liars if they shared their story, but the narrator is grateful that they did. In unrelated news, did you know that the scream of a red fox is often mistaken for a scream from a larger predator, such as a Bigfoot? The red fox's scream is a high-pitched, blood-curdling sound that can be heard up to a mile away. It's used to communicate with other foxes and establish territory. So, the next time you hear a strange scream in the woods, it might just be a red fox.
