Daylight sighting by two witnesses driving on State Route 26 outside Grafton Notch State Park
The witness and her husband were driving out of the park in the early afternoon when the car ahead braked hard. They watched a tall brown bipedal figure run very quickly across the road while leaning forward with its arms held behind it. They stopped at the crossing point but found only woods on both sides with no people, parking areas, or sign of the figure.
Bigfoot tracks found during snowstorm near Kenyon Hill Preserve
During a daytime snowstorm the witness was walking on the property and noticed a narrow trail of large footprints in deep snow cutting through deer beds. The prints were spaced about seven to eight feet apart and were followed for about 150 feet until they became unrecognizable. The witness recorded the tracks on cell-phone video and described them as unlike moose or deer tracks.
Multiple family members mention multiple incidents on isolated property near the Canadian border
During a severe nighttime windstorm with power out, the witness looked out an upstairs window toward a chicken coop and saw a tall dark bipedal figure silhouetted against the coop. The figure faced the house then turned and left quickly toward the woods. Household members downstairs and upstairs simultaneously heard guttural howl-like and whoop-like sounds with growls, and dogs barked intensely. Next morning a heavy trash bin lid was found displaced opposite the wind direction with trash bags missing and a trash trail into the woods.
Campers kept awake by menacing vocalizations all night long 57 miles north of Bangor
The witness and a companion camped in a tent near a pond and listened through most of the night to repeated whoops, howls, whistles, gibberish-like chatter and rumbling from multiple directions across the water and woods. Later something splashed and charged in the water near the tent, followed by loud snorts, breathing, and footsteps on a nearby dirt road, while movement was heard between the tent and fire. The witness searched outside with a light and firearm but saw nothing, and the sounds stopped after dawn.
Fishern reports knocks and trees pushed over on lake near Greenwood
Over spring and summer 2022 the witness repeatedly visited a remote trout pond to fish from a canoe. During visits the witness heard multiple tree falls and many tree knocks without seeing the source, with activity increasing to a peak in mid-August. On a mid-August visit the witness found a birch section leaned against another tree at the water's edge that had not been noticed before and later found intact birch bark on rocks blocking the trail. The witness reported strange occurrences only while on the pond fishing, not while hiking in, out, or around.

Knocks heard near Spectacle Pond, 27 miles east of Bangor
The witness had been staying at his camp for over a week and stepped outside late at night before bed. From just inside the woodline a short distance away he heard repeated loud thwacks like wood striking a tree, about ten times over a few minutes and sounding progressively more distant. It was pitch dark so he saw nothing, and he heard no footsteps or brush noise despite dense woods. The next morning he searched the area in daylight and found no sign.
Distinct wood knocks heard 18 miles NNE of Bangor
The witness had run out of fuel while cutting a road through wilderness and was standing outside the machine. Loud wood-on-wood knocks were heard from the treeline about 50 yards away, and the witness exchanged knocks with the unseen source multiple times. After leaving briefly and returning, the exchange resumed until the witness started a phone video recording, after which the sounds stopped.
Multi-witness daylight sighting along powerlines south of Bryant Pond
Three people clearing an ATV trail under power lines saw a large bipedal creature about 200 yards away walking toward them, which stopped and turned quickly into the woods. One witness rode an ATV to the nearby road to try to intercept it, but it was gone. While checking roadside sand for prints they heard a short howl followed by two sets of three tree knocks.
Footsteps near Woodstock, Maine (2019)

Sasquatch sighting near Woodstock, Maine (2019)
Later the same night a friend went alone through the breezeway to get beers and noticed a tall backlit shape among trees by the lake. The shape first looked like a tree but then lowered an arm to its side and shifted more upright. The friend ran upstairs pale and frightened and pulled the blinds.

Scream near Woodstock, Maine (2019)
Four friends were setting off fireworks late at night in the cabin driveway. They heard a loud scream and then a longer, deeper roar from the wooded ridge across from the driveway.

Possible track way found in the snow in Vaughn Woods State Park east of Dover
The witness was hiking alone in a snowy state park while occasionally whooping and knocking. She found a straight line of large, fresh footprints in snow from the previous day and followed it off-trail for about a quarter mile, noting toe and heel details in some prints. She documented the trackway with photos and video before turning back as daylight faded and her phone battery died.
Possible footprint found by a family looking for moose antlers near Wilson Mills
While searching for shed moose antlers, the witness and a companion followed moose tracks past a clearing to a small runoff ditch. There they found a single very large five-toed human-like bare footprint with no claw marks, which they photographed with small objects for scale. They also noted multiple similarly broken trees angled to point along the game trail into dense woods.
Possible track way found in the snow hear Hollis
The witness reported finding large human-like footprints in snow on an infrequently used vehicle trail at the edge of woods, with another similar print later seen beside a dirt road, and noted bent trees in the area over the course of a year. He estimated the prints were about one and a half times the size of his own foot and interpreted them as those of a juvenile Bigfoot. An investigator later visited the site with him, observed odd tree manipulations, reviewed his photos, and described him as credible.
Trail camera captures unknown creature on hunting property near Burnham
A trail camera set on secluded hunting property captured a single image containing a figure partly obscured by a small tree. The owner noticed the figure later while reviewing images and described it as clear and appearing younger, with family members also seeing only the photo. An investigator later viewed the image from the SD card, visited the location, and offered a juvenile interpretation while working to obtain the original.
Eyeshine near Sweden, Maine (2015)
After returning to a friend's house in the same town, the group shined a spotlight into the surrounding woods. They saw green eyeshine reflecting back from ground level to about four feet high in dense trees. They dismissed it at the time and ended the evening.

The witness's two friends had stayed behind with the Jeep and gotten briefly stuck in mud.

They freed the Jeep, drove fast to meet the witness, and ran to his truck keeping hands on the hood.
