"Coroner" and "Medical Examiner" are definitely two separate professions throughout the US, especially in rural areas. My Forensic Anth professor in college once told me about a time she responded to a call about human remains in a rural county, and the coroner was also the local tow truck operator. Sometimes it's literally just "the guy who can move the body".

Hey guys, PLEASE look into what happened to Brenda Hamilton a retired school teacher in Beaufort (BO'Fort) NC back in 2012. She was killed by an animal attack. All that was ever released was "unknown canine DNA".

Want to make a correction that Roger makes it very clear that he was NOT part of the family. He was just joining them for a camping trip. The Cryptid Studies Institute did a fantastic interview where Roger straight up recounts the entire story from beginning to end.

I was camping there one night during the summer and I had a fever dream that the creature was staring at me while sleeping in the bed of my truck. Woke up and heard rustling in the woods… My buddy comes stumbling out after taking a piss. About shit my pants lol

I live near LBL and when you mentioned military like people showing up, I wanted to let you know that Fort Campbell Army base is really close to LBL

To be fair, my local game warden says there are no mountain lions in my county, utter bs. I got photos of their trackways in the dirt road outside my family's farm and have a photo of one inside an old storm cellar of the old homestead on the farm. Point is, local wildlife officials dont always know for sure what animals live in their area.

Nothing puts fear in me more then Dog Man

and nothing puts joy in me like a new Lore Lodge video

My entire family hails from Cadiz and Linton, and I grew up in a house a quarter mile from Lake Barkley. I’ve hunted, camped, fished and swam in LBL my whole life and there are so many creepy stories, legends and supposed first hand accounts of creatures, noises, UFOs and unexplained events that it boggles the mind.

Hello, Lore Lodge! First, thank you for the shout out on my channel! I truly appreciate it. I've been to those bunkers many times so if I could possibly answer any questions about them you may have, I'll try my best based on what I've seen myself. I was also friends with Jan Thompson and had many conversations with her about everything paranormal.   I enjoyed your well researched presentation on the Beast of LBL. I've seen all kinds of unexplainable things inside that beautiful but eerie peninsula between those lakes. And I have a short interview in the upcoming film by Greg Ogles titled Cryptid Expeditions:The Land Between the Lakes. This film will be groundbreaking in what they caught while filming there. Again, thank you for the shout out!

I've hunted, fished, hiked and camped A LOT at LBL for the last 30 years and spent extensive time in the general area at our club near Aurora, KY.  This is the first time I've heard any of these stories.  One thing I'd like to point out is that the US Forest Service did not take control of LBL "officially" until 1998. Before then it was managed exclusively by the Tennesee Valley Authority (TVA). The management of each respective entity/group is significantly different. I wouldn't expect the US Forest Service to have any clue at all of anything that transpired at LBL before roughly 2005 which is when they actually made their presence felt.

All of that being said, again, I've stomped all over LBL deer, turkey and waterfowl hunting as well as done many, many backcountry overnight tent camping trips. I've never once seen anything that resembles a cryptid track, droppings or would incline me to believe that one or several exist there. Friends have also spent just as much time there, if not more, and never once has anything of this nature been discussed in our group.  There is a large coyote population, but even in numbers it would have to be the worse winter on record for them to be desperate enough to attack a single human. As for the Black Bear possibility at the time suggested in the early 1970s that would have been an extremely, as in 1 in a Zillion, unlikely occurrence. Nowadays, I would be more inclined to believe it possible, but still highly unlikely. The sudden surge in black bear activity and "migration" is strictly centered in the Appalachian and Smokey mountains of Eastern KY, Eastern TN and Western West Virginia...though they are making their way steadily West at a low pace.

Regardless, interesting stuff and I love seeing an episode about a series of events in an area I know so well.

Fair warning: If you don't mention how there was never any mention of a 'Beast Between the Lakes' until that one short story came out, I'll be thoroughly disappointed in you.

People say cats. Bears n wolfs as the scariest predators in the woods.   Well take it from a country boy.   Its the hogs that u need worry about. Some get as big as a small bear. And their mean. And have no prob eating a person   fully bones n all

Also, Professor of Folktales & Folklore is an actual academic job. I considered it for my postgraduate work, but I didn’t want to move to Newfoundland.

It never ceases to amaze me that every single person ever in the history of unexplainable phenomena, even when they are from the absolute boonies in the middle of nowhere, ALWAYS manage to never have guns.

I am from Leslie County Kentucky. There is an old story from Nurses in the Fronter Nursing Service that was founded by Mary Breckenridge to provide healthcare to pregnant women, mothers and babies in the mountains because it was very rugged and isolated.

The nurses would go on horseback to the patients homes and deliver babies and other things as midwives. They would even carry babies in saddle bags if they needed to transport them for medical care.

Anyway these women said that in this one area of the county a large hairy creature would jump on the back of their horses, ride a ways and jump off after a while.

These are pretty old stories but surprisingly enough I was talking to someone in Letcher County KY who told me a very similar story that her husband's family had about something that happened to them around that area.

Old school lore Lodge. Fantastic. I love learning about the missing persons cases, but this is the reason I got hooked on your channel. I don't care if its probably not true, it's a great story and you tell it so well. Thanks guys.

Land between the lakes.
This name is both super descriptive and overwhelmingly vague at the same time.
A temporary placeholder with permanently postponed change date.

Havent watched the whole video, nor is what Im about to say necessarily about this particular story.

But, anecdotal addition, "the lady at the gas station" (in a rural area) will ALWAYS be the best, or worst source of info, with absolutely no middle ground.

IYKYK.

The one we have, is incredible, she knows everything happening on our road.

In 6th grade, my entire grade took a trip up to LBL for about a week. Never heard or saw anything out of order. And no one even talked of anything like the dogman. Was an awesome time tho.
