Train spotters describe night time incident at Folkston Funnel (railroad junction)

Four people were train-spotting and camping by railroad tracks at night when they heard noise in brush across the tracks and saw eyeshine and a large silhouette swaying. They reported a foul odor, cats fleeing, and rocks thrown toward them from the brush direction, with impacts sparking on the tracks. One teen went inside while the remaining witnesses heard chatter and a branch snap south of the first figure, leading the witness to think two creatures were present. The witness then lit the brush and saw a tall bipedal silhouette stand before it disappeared, with no further activity over the next two nights.

Footsteps in Georgia (2025)

The witness and a fellow trainee were pulling night security in foxholes at a remote patrol base when they heard slow footsteps and had small stones and a stick land near them. The fellow trainee saw a tall boulder-like shape by a large pine that did not respond to challenge passwords, prompting both to fire blank rounds and the whole perimeter to open fire. The shape then left rapidly through the draw with loud crashing and a large splash in the creek, after which leaders arrived and joked about Bigfoot while the fellow trainee remained shaken.

DUSK PROTEST -- 23 miles south of Macon -- Big rocks thrown around sundown near remote boat launch on Ocmulgee River

In the early evening the witness and a companion parked their off-road vehicle at a remote riverbank and walked to the water's edge after noticing a strong foul odor. Two large stones were thrown from the direction of the woods in a high arc over their heads and landed in the river behind them, though the thrower was never seen or heard. The pair left the area quickly and later associated the odor and rock throwing with sasquatch-related accounts found online.

Object throwing in Georgia (2021)

The witness stayed with family in a mountain cabin and first heard handful-like objects hitting a window with no trees nearby. Two nights later she heard wood-on-tree knocks and a very deep growl near the road, then later that night heard a large rock strike the house, heavy thumps in dirt, and tree-knocking from the porch couch where she stayed awake until daylight. She believes two young Sasquatch were attracted by earlier rock-throwing play with her grandson.

Tracks in Georgia (2021)

Since about 2021 the witness reports ongoing activity around his Georgia hunting property: a deep 15-inch footprint and an 8-inch track, peanut butter jars removed without triggering trail cameras, snapped-off trees, whistles, a tater rake disappearing and reappearing, pebble-sized rocks hitting his blind, and chickens taken through a hole four feet up. The only direct sighting was last week when scanning a power line edge revealed 4-5 foot high paired red eyes that ducked behind a tree and vanished.

Over a period the witness noted bamboo broken over, fruit trees stripped bare overnight, owl-like hoots and a loud tree break across the road. She once saw an unidentified animal at distance. She later linked the pattern to Sasquatch behavior after research.

Wood knock in Georgia (2014)

After mapping hotspots, the witness went to Fort Mountain to try speaking aloud to Sasquatch and asking for medicine knowledge for a woman with ovarian pain. On the way back he found a large medicinal mushroom chunk sitting in the middle of the trail where it had not been. Back at his car alone in foggy darkness he heard a single loud heavy wood knock from back down the trail.

Whoop in Georgia (2011)

A few days before a tree-treatment job, the witness drove to a turnaround at the end of a logging road to wait for a contact. He heard a loud snap, heavy running footsteps, tree movement, knocks, three whoops, pebble impacts on the truck, a loud yell and a throaty shriek, and glimpsed a dark figure. He left and met his contact at the paved road.

DOT work crew encounters growls, knocks, footprints, visual glimpse under bridge for Hwy 96 near Flint RIver

The witness was supervising a crew clearing brush under a highway bridge in the morning. The group noticed a strange odor, heard persistent movement and muffled grunts, and watched something peeping from behind a tree. Later a skinned rabbit hung high in a tree disappeared, bare footprints larger than the workers feet were found in mud by a creek, and loud limb-breaking sounds caused the whole crew to flee.

Late on a Wednesday night the witness was watching TV above the garage when he heard something strike a garage door.

A group of four-wheelers experience a barrage of rocks and limbs on a late-night ride near Meldrim

The group reported hearing strange sounds from the woods for the rest of the night.

The witness and a friend heard strange high-pitched screams on successive evenings while hunting. The friend also reported hearing something throwing objects around a treestand, and sounds described as wood hitting trees, sticks being thrown, whoops and screams.

Sasquatch sighting in Georgia (2001)

The witness, a Marine designated marksman, was ordered to kill an aggressive animal near Lake D on a Navy base on the Georgia-Florida border. After hearing a splash and seeing a branch thrown into the water one evening, he returned the next evening and watched a tall, long-haired biped cross a road about 40 yards away. He shot it twice, and it collapsed and died. Superiors and two men in a white car secured the body, told him to stay in place and later to forget the incident, and no written statement was ever taken.

Property disturbance in Georgia (2000)

In 2000 two campers with dogs at a primitive site felt something grab and shake their tent after they pushed back and shouted. They fled to town and called authorities, leaving gear and dogs. Wardens later found the tent destroyed, gear scattered, one dog cowering and soiled, and the other dog missing.

Odor near Pike County (1994)

For six to eight months an elderly farmer and his wife reported nightly tapping that followed them room to room, shadows outside windows, a barn door torn open, missing dog food and missing outdoor dogs, and a low voice whispering the indoor dog's name. The responding deputy initially suspected neighbors, moonshiners or a grow operation, but later found a large hand-like dent in the house and an 18-inch footprint in the creek that he cast. The cast was later reported to show dermal ridges and to be considered authentic east of the Mississippi.

Man recalls hitting and killing a strange creature with his car near Cochran

The primary witness was driving alone at about 50 mph on a highway just after dark when a small bipedal creature ran into the road from the right. He struck it squarely with the center of his grill, knocking it to the roadside, then examined the carcass up close. The body remained overnight until a wildlife officer retrieved it early the next morning with no identification provided. Neighbors and passing motorists also viewed the carcass, which was discussed locally for years.
