Spring of 2006 Dartmouth, Massachusetts #244474ad-bb2d-43ca-8ccb-ce3d820bbbf0

Cryptid sighting near Dartmouth, Massachusetts (2006)

The witness was riding a quad alone on a straight power-line trail on a warm day. A man in a blue tracksuit and sunglasses came out of the woods and jumped straight up onto a tall rock without bending his knees, landing in a frog-like crouch with his head bobbing. Startled, the witness turned around and rode back to the truck, seeing the figure still perched on the rock as he left.

Footsteps in Georgia (2005)

Two friends camped deep along a river between mountains in winter with no one else around. Around midnight they heard a huge splash as something jumped into deep water and waded across toward them with bipedal splashes. It stopped at the bank in darkness for a long silent period, then circled the camp staying just beyond firelight before leaving up the hillside. They waited until sunrise without sleep and hiked out without checking for tracks.

Animal behaviour in Pennsylvania (2005)

The witness was deer hunting on a friend's wooded property in Pennsylvania during buck season in 2005. From a ridge he watched a single hairy biped for about 10 to 12 minutes as it broke a small pine tree, investigated the stump, and appeared to eat ants from a rotten stump. The creature sniffed the air, showed no aggression, then walked away apparently unaware of the witness. The witness noted an apparent left arm injury and described the animal as about his own height, thin, and more human-like than expected.

November 2005 Greenwater Wa., Pierce County, Washington Class B #32536

Couple camping at a lake near Greenwater experience possible screams

The witness and a companion were camping at an isolated lake over a long weekend. On Saturday morning they began hearing very loud guttural scream-growls that seemed to warn them away from certain areas, including the path to the lake, and the sounds continued into Sunday. Overnight they heard cooking gear clanging and a heavy thump like logs dumped beside their trailer, but in the morning the gear was largely in place and no logs were found, and the companion also reported a strong putrid smell.

The witness and her mother heard a whistle around 2 a.m. and went outside to check. From near their elevated pool deck, they shone a flashlight on an unknown figure with red eyes positioned just above deck level.

Various incidents near a possible nest on Vancouver Island

A group of seven hikers were hiking on a mountain trail in the afternoon. They heard cackling, yelping, growling and moaning sounds and found the trail blocked by a large uprooted stump with placed boulders and smashed trees. Two upright figures, one black and one light brown and hairy, were seen moving parallel to the group and leaping down a cliff, while the group felt stalked and watched as they hurried out to the road.

September 2005 Philippi, Barbour County, West Virginia Class B #13141

Possible vocalizations heard by camper near Tygart Valley River

The witness spent the summer camping in a tent in a meadow while working away from home. On many nights he was awakened after midnight by repeated long moaning sounds and at times heard walking sounds near camp, but a flashlight search revealed nothing. He also reported occasionally hearing wood knocks and bipedal footsteps trailing him along the woodline, with the source staying hidden behind vegetation.

Marines on night manuevers spot an 8' tall bigfoot up in trees on Quantico Marine Base

Three Marines were moving on foot at night through woods on base during a training exercise after their compass route looped them back toward the start.

They fled when they heard a heavy thud and crashing pursuit behind them, running to their pickup vehicle and leaving.

July 2005 Troy, Latah County, Idaho Class A #12913

Long-duration daylight sighting (distant) on Moscow Mountain

Two companions resting on a high rock overlook watched a large dark biped and a smaller blonde biped moving below in a clear-cut and on a fire road. Over about 20 minutes the figures foraged, interacted closely, and walked erect toward and past the observers before disappearing behind trees. Later the same day the witnesses returned to the spot and reported crushed grass, long stride impressions, and large and small bare footprints.

Participant observations during BFRO WV Expedition

On the second night of the expedition, the witness and two companions walked back along a riverside trail talking with lights off.

April 2005 Edmonton, Alberta Class A #12001

Daylight sighting by motorist outside Edmonton, on Highway 16 near Stony Plain

The witness was driving toward Edmonton with a relative passenger in late morning drizzle when a chimp-sized brown animal emerged from roadside brush. It crossed open ground and the divided highway from right to left in front of the vehicle and disappeared into brush on the far side, observed in profile running on all fours. The witness emphasized folded hands rather than bear paws, a small head with no snout, no visible ears or tail, and speed greater than a bear cub, and questioned whether it could have been a young sasquatch.

Sasquatch sighting (2005)

A coon hunter in the Mercer Bayou area encountered a Sasquatch-like creature. The animal did not attack but lunged and splashed water as a warning to leave the area. The researcher presents this as an example of recent aggressive displays in southern bottomland habitat.

Bow hunter is escorted from woods by foul-smelling, acorn-throwing bipeds

The witness was bow-hunting deer from a tree stand at dusk when deer ran through the creek below after a scream and thump.

He then briefly saw a large dark figure watching him from cover before fleeing the area and never returning.

Family hears strange sounds near West Point at dusk

A couple picnicking by a creek at dusk heard a loud howl from downstream with gibberish-like barking between howls, then an answering howl from the ridge behind them. Cattle downstream moved upstream away from the sound. They left at dark, drove downstream toward the first howl location, saw a buck fleeing the creek bottom, and found no people at creek access areas.

While driving, young woman has afternoon sighting near South Texas Project.

The witness was driving past a flooded rice field in daylight when she noticed an unusual figure, turned around, and watched a huge hair-covered biped repeatedly bending over as if searching mud or shallow water. She photographed it through her car window, honked, and saw it leave. Officers later found large humanlike tracks in the identified area leading toward adjacent woods.

The witness later estimated its height at over nine feet by measuring a similar tree from memory.
