Tennessee Bigfoot Encounter: They Ran Us Out of the Smoky Mountains (Part 1) | Archives

In this gripping part 1 of a 2 part episode series from the Bigfoot Society archives, host Jeremiah Byron sits down with Carrie, a courageous eyewitness who reveals how a series of chilling encounters with mysterious, towering creatures forced her and her husband to leave their home in Newport, Tennessee, near the Smoky Mountains.



Carrie recounts eerie whistles echoing through the Rankin Hill Wildlife Refuge, bizarre metal car parts being ripped off, and nights filled with deafening screams and shaking trees. As fear turned to fascination, she began documenting strange evidence — massive 18-inch footprints, mind-to-mind communication, and gifts left behind after a missing watermelon. The encounters escalated until government vehicles and gunfire filled the quiet Tennessee holler, confirming she and her family were not alone.



Whether you’re a believer or skeptic, this firsthand account offers one of the most detailed and unnerving Bigfoot encounter stories ever told. Join Jeremiah and Carrie as they explore the thin line between the natural and the supernatural deep in the Smoky Mountain woods.
