Sasquatch sighting in Indiana (2010)

The witness and three friends went ghost hunting at a remote cemetery in a forest late at night. After hearing grunting and footsteps paralleling them on a footpath, the friends fled while the witness turned to face a very tall dark figure swaying side to side that changed expression on eye contact and huffed, exposing a foul breath odor. When a friend shouted his name, the figure leapt away, and the witness ran to the car.

Man remembers observing creature taking food while camping near Manchester

The witness and four companions were camping overnight near a pond when they heard vocalizations and heavy footsteps approaching. The group hid in their tent while something raided their food bag hung in a tree and ate their snacks.

At dawn they found the food cache torn down and learned another nearby camp had also been raided.

Child has sighting in cornfield near Sheridan

A child playing in tall corn behind the house at dusk heard heavy bipedal footsteps and corn being pushed aside. The corn parted and a very tall, thick dark figure stood within arm's length, emitting a strong musky odor and a heavy sigh or grunt before running around the child and disappearing. The child's mother heard the footsteps and corn breaking but did not see the figure.

Eyeshine in Indiana

In darkness the witness walked a logging path to his tree stand while two sets of eyeshine paralleled him side-by-side for a long distance. When he switched on white light at about 15 feet the eyes rose to about seven feet with a bark-like grunt, then vanished. From the stand he watched one taller and one smaller eyeshine peek from behind a tree until a neighbor's vehicle lights approached, when they crashed away loudly through the woods.

Sasquatch sighting in Indiana

While hauling a refrigerated load north at night, the witness pulled onto an exit ramp to check a temperature alert and began diagnostics on the trailer. The witness noticed a musky odor and breathing, turned on cab work lights, and found a tall hairy face leaning in within a few feet. When the trailer engine kicked on, both were startled, the creature slapped the unit hard enough to break fiberglass and then ran across a field with heavy footfalls.

On more than one late-morning solo hunt, a hunter experienced complete quiet followed by intense anxiety and left the woods for the road to wait for a ride. While leaving he heard branches breaking and brush moving behind him but never looked back.
