FIELD RESEARCH REPORT BY GCBRO INVESTIGATORS
PHOTOGRAPHS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS REPORT

RECEIVED: From the Field Research Notes of Susan and Michael

DATE:               March 20, 2001
 

TIME:                Between 12:30-1:00 P.M. arrival time
 

LOCATION:     Overton County, Tennessee
 

TERRAIN:       Mountainous, Wooded
 

OBSERVED:  (First, Susan's report)  I had gone out with other GCBRO researchers, my mother Mary Green, and brother, John Green, and also Michael Stuckey who is joining the GCBRO very soon.  We went to a proven "hot spot" area and there was quite a bit of snow, ice, slush still on the ground that had fallen earlier that morning.  We had to turn back twice due to road conditions and a tree fallen across the road, but we finally made it in from another direction, having to travel several miles out of the way. Michael was wanting to learn about bigfoot investigation so he and I went ahead of my mother and brother.  We climbed the mountainside and reached the area where I had found a large hand print the last time I was there.  I was showing Michael where I had found it and we couldn't find anything there this time.  It had come a winter storm that morning and snow and slush was very deep.  I told Michael we may not find anything there because of the snow which had covered up any older tracks.  We did not see any tracks in the snow either.  This is what we were hoping to find by going there right after the snow storm.  I also told Michael that if any of the bigfoot had came through the night before that the snow had covered up those tracks too.  I felt like the bigfoot were staying in where ever it is they stay.

We looked around for quite a while and then climbed to a much higher area where I had found several territorial markers and smelled the bigfoot before.  It was very quiet while we were looking around and I showed Michael where I had found a territorial marker at.  Then he had gone inside an abandoned cabin and I was outside when I heard a screeching sound kind of like a bird.  As I have heard it before as it was so quiet and as I had asked my mother before, and she had told me it was one of their sounds that they make.  I told Michael to listen and he heard it too.  We went on down to another lower area and as we went, I was showing Michael the difference when they break a tree down as it would be twisted and broken.  Then I took him to a place that is more remote where I had earlier found a marker before and showed it to him.  I started hearing the screeching bird sounds again.

We went on up the mountain further then, still searching for more Bigfoot signs.  We came to a new marker I had not noticed in this area before and I was pointing out to Michael that this is what the territorial markers look like.  I took pictures of it and Michael did also.  We thought we could see another new marker further up the mountain then.  We started on up to it and we both had stopped and was looking around as we both were looking in different directions, and that is when we heard an extremely loud scream.  This was a scream I had never heard before.  We both looked at each other and said you heard that!  Where it came from was about 80 foot away from us.  I told him it was time to back up and not to show any fear as they know when you are afraid of them.  We slowly went back down and as we did you could hear branches breaking as it sounded like it was going around to the left of us if you was looking back and I heard a couple more screeches.  When we went on down the mountain I didn't feel anything like we were being watched.  I think we just got too close to where they were staying.  We didn't have a gun and that is why we backed off and left.  As we got on down, I started seeing birds and hearing them and I told Michael they wasn't around us then.  It was about 2:15 P.M. when we left and met back up with John and Mary and they told us what had happened to them.
 

(Second, Michael's report)

Mary, Susan, John and Myself traveled to an area in Overton County where they have had previous Bigfoot encounters and found footprints and territorial markers. We travelled down one road but encountered a fallen tree so had to find an alternate route into the area. But we did finally arrive at our destination and parked the Blazer.

There was quite a bit of snow that had fallen that morning so we had to be careful while walking in some areas.

Susan and I went hiking through the woods..taking pictures as we made our way there. This being my first time out searching for Bigfoot, Susan was explaining to me about what to look for when we saw some broken tree limbs and also showed me what territorial markers looked like as we made our way around...looking in and around some abandoned structures for any hair caught on doorways or footprints around them. She said they were probably held up in a cave somewhere.

Finally we made our way to an abandoned structure that was further back and she showed me a territorial marker next to it and I think she said something about other markers being there also and so I began hiking further up the mountain behind the marker and soon found another marker which we also took pictures of. As we started to make our way a little way up from that marker..I heard a short scream from the right in front of me and loked in that direction and then back at Susan. She also looked at me..thinking I had made a sound. At least I wasn't the only one that heard it. I don't believe I have ever heard anything like that sound before. I guess the closest I can come to describing it would be a howl from a dog or something similar to that but much deeper in tone. And it wasn't far away from us.

She said they were letting us know that we were getting a bit too close so we decided to make our way back to where the others were and Mary then told us about how she and John heard one snort at them and then found where a stick had been thrown across their path in front of them.
 

(Third, Mary's Report of this outing)  It had been a rough morning and a difficult drive into this area with extremely slick roads that day.  We had seen many cars at the side of the road but somehow we managed to stay between the lines.

The only thing I can add to the report is that while John and I were exploring a plateau about half way up the mountain, we had found a few new areas to explore but the mountainside was so steep and snow/slush covered that I thought it better to come back later to investigate there.  We had been looking around for quite some time and had stepped in some icy water that came up over our boots in one area and our feet were freezing off, when I heard a distinct bigfoot scream.  I had heard this scream several  times before in this area during bigfoot type activity.   It got really quiet then, as all the birds had been making their happy little noises up until that time.

We were already in the process of starting back down and were passing a very thick area of pines on our right.  I had been in and around these pines in earlier times and they were difficult to navigate through at best.  The branches were hanging clear to the ground and the snow and ice was falling off the branches in big blobs and I had no way of knowing if there was anything in there that was causing it.  It was then I heard a very indignant snort type sound.  It came from just within these pines and higher above my head than I was standing.  Of course the pines were on ascending ground.

I asked John if he had heard this snort and he said no, but he was talking at the time and I was closest to the pines as we were going down.  I asked him to stop and wait and we spent another 20 minutes or so trying to find a way to possibly climb up and into them, and knew it was so slick it would be dangerous for me to try and I didn't want him to go it alone.  It had grown deathly quiet earlier after the scream and it still remained so.

By that time it was obvious that whatever was up in there was not going to show itself, so we continued down.  It was then I noticed directly in the path we had traveled on the way up that there was a freshly broken tree limb around 1-2 " in diameter laying there on the ground and it had obviously been thrown there on purpose.  (It was definitely NOT there on our way up.)  It had evidently slid a bit when it landed and showed it in the snow (photo included).  I spent more time looking and then went on, but thought again and decided to go back a bit and take a photograph of it.

It was slow going back down, as the path was straight down and the ice and snow was still very slick.  I was aided by John and a long walking stick to keep from sliding.  It was not but a few minutes after we returned to the Blazer and had the heater going on frozen, wet toes, when Michael and Susan came back down too.
 

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):    Field Research----Myself and Susan were hiking through the woods looking for broken tree limbs at the 8' height and also looking for  territorial markers or possible footprints in the snow.  John and Mary were doing the same.
