Footsteps in Utah (2022)

While lying silent, the witness heard very loud heavy footsteps stopping beside the bedroom window followed by deep huffing and grunting with massive air intake. The presence moved behind the trailer and shook a protective window panel as if trying to open it. At daylight the witness fled with cat and rifle without looking up, while the landlord revved a motorcycle and checked behind the trailer.

Grandson relates grandparents' accounts in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest

The grandfather was walking the perimeter of a family property and stopped by a creek where he encountered an intensely foul odor described as rotten meat and body odor. He found droppings in the middle of a large fallen tree bridging the creek where he doubted elk could have left them, and later noted apples and chokecherries were missing from trees that wildlife normally does not fully strip. The grandfather's dogs were unusually apprehensive, and the submitter suggested the odor came from a bigfoot.

Sasquatch sighting in Utah (2000)

The second guest was sleeping in a makeshift lean-to with several other scouts during a survival exercise when getting up at night revealed a very tall, wide, dark hairy biped staring at the shelter. The figure approached with heavy steps and pushed on the shelter logs, causing partial collapse, before the group shouted and adults ran over as something crashed away into the woods. Leaders dismissed the claim as a prank and told the group to go back to sleep.

Possible protest attack on an elk hunter's camper (vehicle) in Fishlake National Forest

The witness and family were sleeping in a truck camper while archery elk hunting in the Fishlake National Forest. Around 1:30 a.m. something struck the side of the camper twice about 30 minutes apart with great force, rocking the vehicle, opening cabinet doors and leaving a large high dent. The witness did not go outside to look, and in the morning found no fallen limbs or rocks that could explain the impacts.

Hunter hears vocalizations, basketball-sized rocks rolled toward him

The witness was deer hunting alone in the morning when he heard an extremely loud low growling sound from dense cover upslope. He could not see the source even with binoculars, but saw branches shaking about nine to ten feet up and two basketball-sized rocks roll out of the cover toward him. Feeling watched and unnerved, he walked out calmly the way he had come while the sound continued until he rounded a bend in the trail.

Vocalization in Utah (1970)

The witness describes repeated nighttime experiences from childhood into late teens where he would fall asleep and wake up outside in a field without knowing how he got there. He recalls bruises, a sensation of being held, seeing his own body from above, a bright light in his face, feeling restrained, and hearing voices urging him to come outside. The episodes stopped after he left for college, with tapping on windows and scratching also reported.

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Man recalls possible encounter at a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City

In August 1964 two teenagers were walking back to a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon after dark when they heard footsteps matching their movements and a low unearthly growl. They ran through a gully to the cabin and locked themselves inside. They then heard the nearby outhouse door open and slam, saw nothing when they turned on an outside light, later heard the door fling open with crashing in brush, and spent the night upstairs.

Footsteps in Utah

The witness's male coworker said he was doing water testing and sleeping in a van with a trailer at a remote reservoir with a work partner. He awoke to fast approaching footsteps, then felt the van jerk up as something jumped on the trailer tongue and saw a shadowy face with dread-like hair look into the window. Both men immediately drove out through the locked gate and saw no one else.

The crew nailed two beavers high in a tree and secured a bait barrel to draw bears. The next day the barrel had been torn off and thrown downhill and only a beaver tail remained, with no bear claw marks found. After resetting, no bears returned and the crew abandoned the spot after similar barrel destruction elsewhere.

Dogman sighting in Utah

The witness was night fishing with his brother and a friend when movement in dense cattails prompted him to throw concrete that struck something with a loud thud and exhale. They saw high amber-red eyeshine, then fled to their lifted pickup as a large snout-faced biped chased them. It reached toward the tailgate and kept pace on two and four legs for several hundred yards until they detoured around the lake to escape.

The witness and two young relatives rode dirt bikes up an unfamiliar trail while camping and stopped near the treeline. The cousin went ahead, then dropped to the ground shouting to run as a whole tree with root ball flew horizontally over him.

Whistle in Utah

After dark on top of a mountain the witness tried to descend switchbacks while his dogs kept running off toward whistling, branch-breaking and thrown objects. He felt three individuals flanking and closing in with stomping and an overwhelming sense of dread. He prepared to call his spouse to say goodbye and had no flashlight.
