Seeing the, you know, Bigfoot type creatures and so forth.

And my interest peaked at that point and I started to work with him.

I said, well, it's a good possibility we might be able to get something out of this particular area.

So I started working with him.

I've been out there to the Cosby area, Cosby, East Tennessee, maybe five or six times and experienced something on at least three different occasions there.

i have never seen anything as far as a bigfoot dog man any type of cryptid or anything like that but i have heard um screams and roars that i couldn't really explain especially the roar that i heard back in july of 24

And I've also seen unusual life phenomena out there.

I had a thermal imager, and I was scanning the wood line around this particular cemetery, which seems to be the focal point of this activity.

We go and set up at the cemetery, and we just sit there and listen and record and observe.

and i saw this light the pinpoint of light white light well it appeared white in the thermal because i had it on a white heat setting and it was uh it was going through the wood line appeared to be intelligent intelligently operated and i would take the thermal down and i wouldn't see it i put the thermal back up to my eye and it would appear so apparently it was whatever it was was invisible to the eye

But visible to the in the heat spectrum.

So, you know, I thought this was interesting and I was following it and Harley was standing next to me and I gave the thermal to Harley.

Well, he asked for it and he said, let me take a look.

I gave it to him.

He looked at it and it was approaching this dirt road, which led from the.

road to the cemetery itself.

And he says that whatever it was, this light transitioned into some type of creature, upright creature, exhibiting heat, and it took two or three steps across the road and went up an incline toward a

a knoll on the other side i you know shocked me when he said that i said well let me see and by the time i got the thermal i didn't see anything but about a minute later up on the knoll i actually heard a scream rather loud scream which lasted maybe two to three seconds i couldn't identify the screen

and it uh but you know later it sounded primate sound like a primate if you if you can recall what a chimpanzee sounds like when it screams that's what this particular scream sounded like and i didn't know of any other wildlife in the area that could produce that type of sound i may be wrong but right after this scream almost immediately after the scream i heard what sounded like a barn owl hoot three times

Right at the very end, I thought that was interesting.
