DATE: April,
1996
LOCATION: Davidson County, Tennessee,
Near Percy Priest Lake
TERRAIN: Heavily wooded area, hilly,
near a major lake
OBSERVED: Suspicious sounds.
Last spring, I heard
some very strange noises one evening in the back. I know it sounds
crazy, but the truth is I heard the noises just the same, although I live
in a subdivision. It is quite close to Percy Priest Lake, and I am
quite an avid bird watcher, have been for more than 20 years. I know
bird calls and sounds pretty well, and am especially interested in owls.
I know the sound of barn, screech, barred and great horned owls, all of which
we have here. What I heard was not an owl. I have no idea what
it was, but of that I’m sure, it was a loud whinny sort of sound, obviously
coming from some ways off in the distance, toward the woods. Anyway,
that’s why I was curious about sounds, since I have heard some recordings
in the past.
Description of Creature: None
Other Notes: Witness after twenty years of
listening to bird sounds and hearing some recorded sounds of a bigfoot over
the web, believes this is what he heard that night in his back yard.
