Large hairy biped seen chasing deer behind a home at dusk near Bridgewater

In the early evening the witness went outside to call the dog in and saw six or seven deer running as if chased. Behind the deer in tall grass about 100 yards from the house, a large hairy animal was running on two legs and towering above the 4-foot grass while chasing the deer. The witness, familiar with local wildlife including bears, concluded it was not a bear.

2014 Oregon #a57b9dcf-9381-4401-8a37-7f4c4faadaa3

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (2014)

After hearing heavy metal banging for several nights, the witness ran armed from his fifth-wheel to a 30x40 foot excavation pit. He confronted two 8-9 foot hair-covered beings on the far side and a 4-foot juvenile trapped in the 12-foot hole, while a 10-11 foot individual flanked near his truck. After a scream-roar and standoff where he lowered his aim off the juvenile, the adults retrieved the juvenile and withdrew silently to the treeline. He packed up, later had researchers trespass after his cousin told them, filled the hole, and sold the property.

Movement only in Texas (2014)

The witness and his uncle were coyote hunting from a truck when they saw a large orange ball of light maneuvering in the sky and heard a loud electric-motor hum.

They then heard loud tree snapping approaching the tree line and fled, later seeing a fast blue streak of light while driving away.

Possible daylight sighting by a bicyclist on the General James A. Van Fleet State Trail

The witness was bicycling on a trail through swamp in the early afternoon when two dark brown figures crossed the trail about 200 yards ahead. The figures paused briefly to look toward the witness, then ran off into an area with no visible trail and a steep bank and quickly disappeared from sight. The witness thought they looked like Bigfoots but considered a hoax or soldiers as possible explanations, and noted a large military helicopter flew overhead just after.

UFO sighting near Arlington, Tennessee (2012)

On New Year's Eve at his former partner's parents' rural property, the witness went outside with his dog to smoke. The dog grew agitated as a tiny green speck in the distance grew into a pulsating sheet-like light moving slowly toward them about ten feet off the ground. He went upstairs to get help, found everyone long asleep, and realized hours had passed though he felt only briefly outside.

Huge upright figure crosses road in-front of Marysville couple at night

The witness and a companion were driving at night when headlights illuminated a large hairy figure crossing the road in front of the truck.

The dog in the vehicle reacted by whimpering and fixating on the woods.

Footsteps in Washington (2012)

Two brothers parked for a late-night talk on a forest road when heavy footsteps surrounded the car on several sides and powerful growls approached the rear. After repositioning the car in moonlight they saw a dark shape shifting in a tree, heard heavy breathing, and watched a very tall muscular dark creature cross the road and peer from behind a stump. A second slender gray creature leapt across the road, the large one dropped to all fours and left, and the brothers later realized hours had passed.

Hiker describes possible vocalizations and rocks thrown at a remote lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness

After dark the dog growled intermittently and the witness heard paired screams, rock sounds, and repeated hooting exchanges across the valley. Around 2 a.m. rocks landed in shallow water near the tent, followed by a voice-like sound, and at dawn the dog stared into the woods while the witness packed to leave. The witness reports never seeing any animal or person.

Family has possible encounter at Cedar Lake Equestrian Camp

A group of four campers spent the evening at an equestrian campsite beside the forest. After hearing walking sounds and a faint scream-like sound, they watched nearby treetops shake violently while hearing cracking and rattling branches. The shaking then stopped abruptly leaving the woods silent, frightening the group into dousing the fire and going inside. A next-morning search found no footprints or fallen limbs.
