Sasquatch sighting in New York (2013)

The guest, then in early teens, was camping in a tent with a teenage friend and the friend's father at a lake-side campground in the Adirondacks. Late at night the woods went silent and heavy bipedal footsteps approached the tent, then a very large hand pushed the tent wall inward. After the friend's father mumbled in his sleep the hand withdrew, and the visitor rummaged through a cooler on the picnic table before walking into the lake and swimming away. In the morning the cooler had been moved, items were strewn, and an oily feel and stale smell were noticed.

Scream in New York (2010)

The witness and a companion were on a multi-day backcountry hike and stopped at dusk near a river to find shelter. They heard an extremely loud prolonged scream from across the water followed by large rocks splashing near them. As they continued hiking, they heard more splashes, sensed something paralleling them, and heard a large animal cross the river and run into the woods.

Female hiker describes rocks being thrown at her and female companion near Sabbath Day Point

Two companions hiking back from a mountain trail claim rocks were thrown toward them from the woods over an extended period, starting with misses above and behind them and later coming close enough to duck. They also report hearing an unidentified whining sound, possible footsteps, knock-like sounds, and a tree being shaken, without ever seeing the source. Near the area they noticed a green limb broken high and left hanging.

Footsteps near Unionville, New York (2006)

The witness was hiking alone on a section of the Appalachian Trail when footsteps began pacing him from off-trail to his left. He glimpsed a dark figure and then rocks began flying past him, prompting him to jog and then sprint toward a road. The pursuer kept pace while breaking saplings and trees before stopping near the road, after which the witness calmed down and returned to his car.

BFRO YEAR: 1989,1993 Essex County, New York Class A #1522

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.

The writer had recently moved to Whitehall and was lying in bed when he began crying uncontrollably. A door slammed open and heavy footsteps and furniture movement were heard downstairs, then something came up the stairs. He waited with a bat and confronted a huge black outline with glowing red eyes that seemed to enjoy his fear before leaving.
