SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. โ€” A Sevierville resident has made a disturbing and highly unusual discovery on her own property, prompting an active investigation by multiple authorities after human teeth were found emerging from the ground.

Homeowner Shaelyn Baggett said the initial discovery occurred earlier this week when she noticed what appeared to be teeth visible in her yard.

She later found an additional tooth, bringing the total number recovered to eight.

Law enforcement has since become involved, and officials have confirmed that the remains are human.

According to Baggett, the discovery was made when she looked down and saw what appeared to be teeth protruding from the soil.

โ€œBy uncovered, I mean I looked down and there they were โ€” literally sprouting from the earth,โ€ she said.

The finding prompted an immediate response from authorities.

The Sevier County Sheriffโ€™s Office, along with forensic investigators, the medical examiner, a dental professional, and anthropologists, are now working collaboratively to determine the origin and age of the teeth.

Officials have stated that while the teeth are confirmed to be human, they appear to be old, though investigators have not yet determined their exact age or how long they may have been buried.

No conclusions have been drawn regarding whether the discovery is connected to criminal activity, historical remains, or another explanation.

Baggett said she has been informed that excavation work is expected, which may include digging into portions of her yard and driveway as part of the ongoing investigation.

Authorities are continuing to examine the surrounding area for additional remains or evidence that could clarify how the teeth came to be located on the property.
