Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma (1975)

The guest's grandparents noticed meat and vegetables disappearing from an outdoor wash house over several days. One night the family smelled a strong musky odor in the living room, and the grandmother saw a large hairy figure squatted outside a picture window. The guest's father chased it as it hopped yard fences, snapped a railroad-tie post, and disappeared over a hill. For about a week afterward the grandmother heard something tampering with the wash-house door at night.

The guest's grandmother was walking the guest's father as a child to school before daylight along a dirt road bordered by a tall solid wood fence in the Big Thicket. Something large and heavy paced them on the other side of the fence, stopping when they stopped and moving when they moved. They turned back halfway and abandoned school that day to avoid meeting it where the fence ended.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

[name withheld] and a friend, ages about 10-11, were hiking unsupervised from an expedition base camp in the Cascades when they found drag marks and a crude log teepee structure. His friend climbed to peer inside and came face-to-face with a hair-covered, bear-like but man-like creature using a stick, then fled in terror to camp. The group stayed the night under guard and were told something large circled camp all night before they evacuated at dawn.

The guest's older brother stayed in a rustic dog-trot cabin with no power. He heard something walk across the porches, went outside with a gun and spotlight, saw nothing but smelled strong fresh fish.

Sasquatch sighting near Snohomish, Washington

A former military man stayed alone in a remote cabin without utilities near Snohomish to get away from people. Over months he heard creatures around the cabin, heard Jabba-like laughing, saw them while fishing and looking in windows, smelled sulfur, and saw one vanish and reappear. After a night of multiple individuals banging on the walls and vocalizing, he packed up and never returned.
