2011 Bigfoot Sighting - Clingmans Dome, Tennessee

Photo is a screen shot from sighting video, linked below.

This is a sighting that stood out to me for two reasons. One, this is an area I have visited before, it is a common and popular hiking destination for folks who are not looking for paranormal experiences. Two, the sighting was not by a lone hiker. In the video you see a large group of people looking at something in the woods. Seeing multiple people looking at something like this makes it seem more legit to me.

From what I heard of this story is about a family on vacation hiking in Clingmans Dome, Tennessee. As they climbed the mountain it was very foggy and cold. While walking on a trail someone heard something walking along the trees, so they stopped to take a look. They all spot something in the distance and begin filming as it walks off behind a corner.

As you can see in the video, the creature stays in the area and a crowd begins to gather. Uphill among the trees you can see a figure, much larger than the local bears, with large hands and more fur. It stands still in the trees like it’s trying to hide, or perhaps observe the crowd. Then, it vanishes.

I believe I’ve heard in the past that this area is a Bigfoot hotspot. I’ve actually seen a different video of Bigfoot in the same area, but I was unable to find it again. I did discuss this video with my brother-in-law and we both noticed that as the potential Bigfoot walks around the corner that the fur looks a little funny and flares up around its ankles, perhaps casting doubts on the legitimacy of the sighting, but nonetheless this is an interesting video!
