Written Confession: Unexplained Rock Throwing During a Night Fishing Trip on Norris Lake
The following written confession was submitted via email: I have always loved being outdoors and I grew up in the woods playing and exploring every chance I would get. That interest grew with me into my adult life. So hunt, fish, explore, you name it. So a few years ago I was doing a lot of night fishing for catfish. A lot of times I would take the pontoon boat out and just be out there alone almost all night. Never bothered me. I mean I was armed of course. I did this a lot and never had any problems . . .

VIDEO: Is a Long-Armed Bigfoot Lurking in Baxter, Tennessee?
Is it Bigfoot in broad daylight? An intriguing video emerged online late last month that seems to show a dark, hulking figure in arguably clear view on a property in Tennessee. The creature itself looks on curiously as it is filmed, at one point stretching some pretty long, strong arms from tree to tree as it creeps around.
