Footsteps near Sweet Home, Oregon

The witness was scouting remote mountain roads for fishing access when he found a newly placed stacked rock pile blocking the road. After stopping to inspect it, he heard something charge down the steep slope toward him and stop when he drew his pistol, then parallel him back to his vehicle unseen. He returned later with a hunting partner and heard coordinated whoops from multiple positions, and a few days later with a larger group found extensive tree damage, possible structures, and three sizes of bare human-like tracks.

Footsteps in Alaska

The witness camped with the sibling and a friend from the city in a clearing containing moose bones and antlers. After midnight they heard branching breaking and multiple bipedal-sounding runners circling camp in the dark, fired rifles without effect, found the dog terrified in the tent and felt something touch a tent, then saw large shadows in firelight. They packed out carrying the dog while being followed down the trail, with one silent individual flushing very close, until reaching the car.

While elk hunting, the witness and a companion made camp on a widened logging road at dusk. They heard movement in three spots around them, then a single extremely loud branch snap like a gunshot from about seven to eight feet up directly behind the witness. Both fled to the truck, where the companion loaded a rifle and insisted lights stay off, and the next morning the area was silent.

A few days after the field light the witness woke around 3 a.m. unable to move or speak and saw a clear sparkly bubble-like blob moving between his head and feet.

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 Ohio

The witness, then a child, arrived home at night when car headlights lit a large hairy figure standing at a mowed corridor into the woods. He got out for a better look while puppies cried nearby, his sister joined him, then his father shouted for them to stop and the figure crossed the opening and thrashed away loudly. The next day they found puppies in the woods and knocked-down vegetation with limbs broken high up.

The night after Christmas the witness watched from a gas well across the valley as dozens of small pin lights moved along the ridge and dropped into the valley. Later from the truck near the first sighting area he watched a beach-ball-size bluish light and then a basketball-size yellow-orange light move intelligently six to ten feet off the ground around trees, pause at the ravine edge, and drop over, casting almost no light despite brightness. Companions asleep in the truck did not see them.

Footsteps in Arkansas

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. The sound returned when a crank radio was turned on and off, leading the brother to believe a Bigfoot had visited the porch.

While staying at a walled missionary compound, the witness spoke late with a female team member then walked toward the dorms. He saw a tall black human-shaped figure moving up a garden path, felt it was evil, and stepped toward it while praying.
