Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Form.
 

DATE:    September 27, 2003
 

TIME:     12:45 A.M.
 

LOCATION:   Hardeman County, Tennessee
 

TERRAIN:    Swamps, Woods, and Pastureland all within 100 yard
 

OBSERVED:    I was in a tent with my son, who was asleep, at about 12:45 A.M., when I heard three yells in succession.  The yells were coming from approximately 200-300 yards to the southeast of our camp.  I believe this to come from a bigfoot.  Unfortunately I was the only one still awake among nine campers in four tents.  Then, at about 1:00 A.M., I could hear footsteps just outside my tent. I figured that it was some of the neighbors' pulling a prank.  After a couple of minutes the prankster(s) was/were gone.  I decided to step out of my tent, but I didn't see nor hear anything.  When we woke up the next morning we found one of the girls' fishing rods had been moved from underneath a table to right behind my tent.  At least three of the other campers heard some vocalizations around 5:00 A.M. coming from the woods about 75 yards to the east of us, but I was still asleep.  Three months later I had a conversation with the neighbors and they all denied being at our camp after midnight.  The landowner's son told
me that the neighbors had told him the same thing.  What struck me as being peculiar was if the neighbors were pulling a prank then why didn't they do more, and knowing them very well they would have gone a safe distance away and yell at us afterwards. They would have also said something about it the next day, but it didn't happen.  Then I read on your web site about bigfoot moving tools around in someone's barn, and it hit me.  I believe one or two bigfoot were walking around just outside my tent that night.  By the way the neighbor's believe in bigfoot, too.
 

Activities of Witness:   We were at a church camp.  We were in a cow pasture less than 75 yards from dense woods to our east, and swamp/bottomland to our south.  About 150 yards to our north is the landowner's house.
 

Description of Creature:  N/A
 

Other Notes:    This is the same spot where I heard the long howls one year before.  Also the landowner's son and I heard something mimic an owl less than 100 yards away from this spot in January 2003.

I will be sending more reports later. Many stories from this general area extending from Madison County into Hardeman County.
