About this listen

Three teenagers. A remote island in Middle Tennessee. A Wednesday morning in the summer of '97. Brothers Heath and Hayes Holland and their friend Seth were doing what they always did, exploring Hole in the Wall Island on Percy Priest Lake, when they came face to face with something that defied explanation. Standing by a massive tree was an eight-foot creature with dark fur, horns, a wolf-like snout, snarling teeth, and glowing red eyes. It wasn't a Bigfoot. It wasn't quite a Goatman. And it was staring right at them.The Holland brothers join us live in studio with a story they've carried for nearly three decades. Hayes followed the creature through the brush for fifteen minutes while Heath ran for his life, and their dad wrote the whole thing off until locals started reporting similar sightings at the nearby boat dock. What was it? A cryptid? A demon? Something that doesn't have a name yet? Growing up in a conservative Southern church didn't prepare them for what they saw, but it might just be the lens that makes the most sense of it. Welcome to the horned creature of Antioch.
