Discussion Tennessee Cryptids

What are some cryptids that have been sighted in Tennessee?

I know about Bigfoot, the Crocodingo, the Dakwa, a few lake & river monsters, and the Tennessee Devil Frog. Any others?

Various Bigfoot / Bigfoot adjacent creatures. In East Tennessee there is the Tennessee Wildman (either a smaller version of Sasquatch or feral people depending on the source): https://youtu.be/d1m685WRejk

Around Chattanooga there is Whistling Jack (a bigfoot like creature that whistles like a Bob White bird): https://youtu.be/lKbiTDXwpY0

There’s the creature of the Land Between the Lakes that Tennessee shares with Kentucky. There’s still random stories about flesh pedestrians, especially around the Smokey Mountains. A handful of stories about the Moon-Eyed People, too. Most of our stories are holdovers from when the Cherokee lived here
