Two Hikers Have Close Encounter Near Genoa

Two companions hiking a steep mountain trail stopped near a cabin and creek to rest and gather cones. They reported a tall hair-covered biped appearing very close across the creek, watching them, vocalizing, then moving uphill without slipping. The being paralleled them as they descended and was last seen crouching on a boulder near their vehicle.

Father and son hear vocalizations on Peavine Mt

The witness, then ten, was accompanying a relative on a deer hunt on Peavine Mountain when both heard a long siren-like call from a shadowed draw to the west. The call lasted 15-20 seconds and was repeated multiple times, seeming to move farther away. The relative dismissed it as a fire-tower siren and ended the outing, and they left without further incident.

Folklore near Lovelock, Nevada

The hosts retell tribal accounts of tall red-haired cannibalistic giants who trapped and ate local people and were eventually trapped in a cave, burned and killed after a multi-year war. Later miners reportedly found large mummies, oversized sandals and artifacts, and a large hand-like mark was seen on the cave wall.
