Cryptids — like Sasquatch and the Jersey Devil — capture the imagination and have been sighted across the globe. Not surprisingly then, Middle Tennessee has its own reported cryptid activity. Here, people have seen a giant bird with a 6-foot-long wingspan, a dogman and, of course, the Tennessee Wild Man, our version of Bigfoot. Today, we delve into firsthand accounts of these beasts and chat with local field investigators who gather their stories. Plus, we hear from an anthropologist and anthrozoologist who tells us why it’s important to keep an open mind. Join us as we get curious about the big, hairy and scary things that live in the woods.
