Late night road side sighting near Tonto Creek
The witness was driving late at night when bright side lights illuminated a tall, light-colored figure standing off the road beside a road sign. The figure was briefly seen while driving past and appeared to be waiting to cross. Sleeping family members did not see it, and a later return to the spot showed no trees or brush that could explain it.
Possible nighttime sighting outside a home near Christopher Creek
The witness was staying alone in a trailer and went uphill to check what triggered a house motion light. He reports seeing a giant upright human-like silhouette near the house that made a loud howl/scream/growl directed at him before turning toward the forest. He ran back to his trailer and found no clear footprints the next morning due to dry ground.
Couple experiences vocalizations in Bradshaw Mountains and group detects odor while camping by Mogollon Rim.
The witness and their then-spouse were sleeping in a tent at a camp in the Bradshaw Mountains when they were awakened by high-pitched calls coming from both a ridge above camp and a slope below. They listened for about half an hour as the two sources called back and forth and shifted position, then retreated to their truck after hearing rocks trickle down the slope, hearing the sounds move north before dawn. In the morning the witness saw a trail crossing the campsite, and years later both the witness and the former spouse said the sounds matched a published recording labeled 'Scream.'
Night time road crossing near Strawberry, Arizona
The witness and a companion were driving slowly on a dirt lane through ponderosa pine forest at night when their headlights illuminated a tall hair-covered figure crossing from left to right in front of the car. The figure walked upright with a human-like gait and continued into the woods without looking at or reacting to the car. The witness estimated it at about seven feet tall and 400 pounds with camel-colored hair and a barrel chest.

Man recounts a history of possible activity in the Sierra Anchas
In 1981, while driving home from a deer-hunting trip on a road north of Globe, the witness rounded a corner and saw a dark figure standing about 10 yards off the roadside with bright red eyeshine. Startled and concerned about a companion in the vehicle and a deer carcass needing attention, the witness chose not to stop or back up and left the area quickly. The sighting occurred after dark and was recalled years later after reading other reports.
