The Tennessee ''Wildman''

By Crusader1307

This strange, Human-like Beast is likened to both the legendary ‘’Sasquatch’’ and the reported ‘’Skunk Ape’’ of Florida (US). Only ‘’seen’’ in and around The American state of Tennessee, The ‘’Wild Man of Tennessee’’ Tales dated to the mid-19^th Century AD. As the story goes, a local Side Show Owner began to display such a creature. 8-feet tall and covered in ‘’Gray Fur’’, The Wild Man had ‘’Red Eyes’’ and had the most ‘’unpleasant odor’’. Just ‘’how’’ and ‘’where’’ The Wild Man was captured was never made known (meaning the it may have been an actual ‘’Bigfoot’’ from The Pacific Northwest). The Creature also seemed to ‘’fear’’ Canines (Dogs) and had an ‘’attraction to Human Women’’. As The Wild Man’s story continues, ‘’It’’ scaped one day. From around the 1880s forward (or at least well into the 1970s and 1980s), ‘’sightings’’ of The Wild Man continued. Hikers and Hunters in some of The States most mountainous Regions have reported ‘’seeing’’ a ‘’large, lumbering Creature – which greatly resembled a Human Man’’. The tell tale ‘’stench’’ emitted by The Creature was also reported. Little to no photographs have surfaced (at least those not seen as hoaxes), and – owing to the nearly 150 year interval in Wild Man’s tale, makes it difficult to prove or disprove.
