Partial sighting near Neosho, Missouri (2025)

Later the same night the two men returned to the same pull-off with another couple to show them the spot. While shining a light west of the car, one witness watched a golden-brown shape repeatedly duck behind a bush. No sound was heard, nothing was seen when headlights swept the area, and daylight inspection suggested the shape would have been much taller than first thought.

Footsteps near Bailey, Colorado (2023)

That night the party climbed the same mountain and the witness sat apart while others settled. He heard quiet brushing movement circling his position, then a long loud howl rose from the valley, and on the descent the party reported being paced, green eyeshine, and a bright head behind rocks seen on thermal by several members. As the witness took the lead near a thicket he heard a close juvenile-like two-syllable vocalization but saw nothing with his light.

Possible sighting and tree shaking on S. Fork American River 30 miles NE of Sacramento

The witness rode horses to a river access and picnic area and stopped to rest and take photos. She glimpsed a reddish-brown figure showing only buttocks and leg as it darted upright into brush to hide. Immediately afterward nearby branches were shaken violently back and forth though no animal could be seen. She left because she was alone and unarmed, remaining skeptical because she never saw the head.

Object throwing in Ohio (2019)

The witness and three friends camped in the park in summer 2019 and hiked the towpath trail near the river after dusk. They had sticks then small rocks thrown behind them, smelled a pungent odor, felt watched, and fled. After stopping to rest they heard a loud deep growl and saw a very tall dark-haired humanoid in a weapon-mounted light before it stepped behind an oak and disappeared. They ran to camp, heard disturbances overnight, and in the morning found the campsite strewn about, a food pot missing, and two neat piles of large rocks by the fire pit.
