Likely sasquatch knocks heard in Yellow River Water Management area NW of Crestview

The witness and two companions were sitting quietly listening for hogs in dense pine woods near a river and swamp when they heard a limb snap and saw a bird fly off. Minutes later they heard two sequences of three very loud knocks from different estimated distances. Thinking the sounds might be other hunters, they walked back to the road but saw no other vehicles.

Couple observes a sasquatch YESTERDAY while hunting deer on Eglin Air Force Base

A couple hunting deer from brush heard a loud crunch and saw a tall hairy man-like figure watching them from behind a tree about 60-80 yards away. After briefly looking at each other, they found it had slipped out of view. Minutes later they heard another crunch and glimpsed the same figure heading toward thicker brush near a creek bottom, shortly after which two does hurried past as if fleeing.

Man recounts his possible daytime sighting while bowhunting near Crestview

The witness was bowhunting alone from a tree stand overlooking a field in autumn. About 2000 feet away across the field, a very large bipedal figure emerged from the woods, passed in front of a large oak tree, and reentered the woods over about a minute. Its dark appearance and arm-swinging walk reminded the witness of well-known Bigfoot footage. No sound was heard at that distance, and the site could not be checked until after dark.
