Environmental Engineer hears calling and responding screams near Shelton

The witness was taking overnight ambient-noise measurements at a rural residence surrounded by timber land. Shortly after starting, after hearing distant coyotes, she heard loud scream-like howls exchanged between two directions for about 30 seconds. After a quiet period during which nearby dogs and a horse became agitated, she heard another solitary similar howl-scream from the same direction.

Screams heard in mountians near hwy 680

The witness and a visiting companion were awakened in the home in the middle of the night by a loud unnatural howling that seemed to pass the house and fade into the distance over about ten seconds. They stayed inside and assumed at the time it was dogs or coyotes. The witness later shared the account after reading similar descriptions while still doubting it was Bigfoot-related.

Sightings by two hunters in tree stands outside Elkwater

The witness was deer hunting from an old tree stand on a mountain crest in the morning and dozed off. A strong odor and rustling woke the witness to see a small reddish-brown hair-covered biped below eating discarded fruit. A much larger black hair-covered biped then approached vocalizing, the two interacted and appeared to notice the witness before leaving, and a hunting companion nearby also reported seeing a large upright figure moving fast through trees.

Coon hunters observe large, hairy "monkey" in pin oak

Late at night in 1963, the witness and four companions were hunting raccoons with dogs in a creek bottom south of Tyler, Texas.

After someone fired at it with a .22, it growled and the group fled with the dogs back to their vehicles.
