Knocking in Scott County, Tennessee

I'll start off by saying I have recently learned of some characteristics of the bigfoot aka tree knocks,rock throwing, howls ect.. I have this going on at my home as of just a few nights ago over a two hour period. I live in east TN and my first sighting was in a night in 1978 on Hwy 92 in southeast KY as I watched a brownish colored creature standing by the road as we were headed home from a trip. It stood there just for a few seconds before turning back into the woods and was gone which left a lasting picture burned into my memory as I was only 8 years old. My second sighting was in 1986 just south of Oneida TN in the wood line by our driveway behind the Church near my home. I can show the exact place where I stopped as a teenager to adjust the radio when a clod of gravel and dirt hit the hood of my car, I looked up to see what I thought to be someone standing on the berm of the road as it lead on to my home maybe 400 yards on passed the creature. The road lead through a small patch of woods in an S curve. Late in the evening with the shadows made it hard to see who or what it was I was just mad because a teenagers car is his pride and joy, so I took off towards it on the road but as I got closer to it I began to see "something" different began to take shape in the shadows that thing was way taller than anyone I've ever met and covered in matted hair I had to drive right by it and I was scared to death. The setting sun gave it a reddish brownish look so like any scared kid I floored it and got on to the house. I told my mom who was standing out in the yard about it and showed her the gravel and dirt still on my hood and she said our dogs had been barking and looking over that way but they wouldn't leave the yard. The next day we went back over that way to look around and we found where the dirt and gravel had been picked up in chunks from the berm. I began to look at the distance between where I was sitting in the car and where it was standing. This thing had a quarterbacks arm to throw that far. I'd say 60+ yards you can measure the distance for yourself I'll gladly show you where this happened. As I said earlier some strange stuff has been going on around my home which is situated between Brewster Mountain and Bear Creek west of Oneida TN here lately. I'll be glad to speak with y'all as I know I've probably left out some details.
