Dogman sighting in South Dakota

While camped on BLM land near Badlands National Park, the couple heard distressed cows for hours and noticed one dog refuse to leave the truck. During a moonlit walk they lay down to look at stars, their dog barked, and they saw a very large black canine-like figure about sixty yards away with no eye shine that seemed to absorb flashlight beams while panting loudly. A second closer larger figure seen by the boyfriend flanked them, both followed the couple about a quarter mile back toward camp before disappearing, after which cows vocalized again.

Animal behaviour near Hendersonville, North Carolina

After the witness's family left, friends with a small child moved into the house. The child would not use the stairs alone and was seen walking with one hand raised as if helped. She spoke of an imaginary friend and once handed a powered-off phoneless handset to her father saying the friend wanted to talk. Family history later linked the name to a relative found hanging on the property.

Unidentified sound near Hendersonville, North Carolina

After moving into the grandfather's old house, the family experienced ongoing phenomena. Upstairs sounded like someone playing jacks with bouncing ball and metal pieces, with cold spots and feeling of being watched. Lights flickered and ceiling fans spun with switches off, stopping after occupants apologized for noise. A visitor searched the house without finding occupants who were present.

Vocalization in California

While sleeping in his van in Alabama Hills, the witness woke at 2:30 AM to bird-like sounds shifting to crickets, then a short wailing whistle.

After it stopped he dressed, found no tracks, felt watched while leaving, and drove to a populated rest stop.

While burning cardboard at a barrel with friends, the group watched an orange lantern-like light maneuver sharply, shift color, shrink away and blink out. Immediately after, a loud roar and crashing moved up and down the adjacent woods. The group extinguished the fire and ran inside; town friends called it a cow, which the witness rejects.

Sasquatch sighting near Round Lake, Minnesota

As a child about 10 to 12 the witness was picking raspberries alone very early in the morning on her grandparents' farm near Round Lake, Minnesota. Within a few feet she noticed a very large reddish-brown hairy figure with two smaller figures on the other side of the bushes, all quietly picking berries and then crouching into tight balls with faces turned away. She kept picking past them, retreated slowly to the house, and told her grandfather, who fired shots but found nothing; as an adult she interprets them as a Sasquatch family.
