Vocalization near Poland, Maine
Over childhood summers spent outdoors near home, the witness repeatedly heard grunts, found wood structures he did not build, and smelled strong wet dog where no dogs had been. He asked his friend about the structures and smells and was told the friend had not been out. This ongoing activity is grouped as one period.
Odor in Tennessee
Dogs repeatedly sniffed a large mashed-down weed patch off the porch where cattle had not been. The guest smelled the spot and found a strong sweaty horse-like equine odor. She interpreted it as something laying there.
Growl
The witness followed movement off a path into dense rhododendrons where stick structures were visible. After reaching a certain point, something growled unseen. Feeling it had the tactical advantage, he left.
Wood knock in Ontario
The witness describes a fall investigation in a remote forest north of the city. A prior night vigil yielded stomps, calls, knocks and sounds of something circling camp. Follow-up reconnaissance found sharpened sticks staked across a game trail, tracks along a nearby river, and a very tall teepee structure the next day.
Structure or nest near Phlox, Wisconsin
Around the witness's property the investigator summarizes ongoing reports of stick structures, tree knocks, howls, whoops, screams, intense odors, large and small footprints with 7-foot stride in a cornfield, and feelings of being watched without visual confirmation.
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.
Odor
After his vehicle became stuck in snow on a high peak in February, the witness hiked miles at night to get cell reception and arrange a rescue. During the hike he found a freshly torn small coyote skull with no tracks, smelled skunk that vanished, and heard sounds like large trucks with no roads nearby. Weeks later his lost emergency locator showed movement and an SOS, and searches found a branch nest with a large X nearby and a trail camera that later disappeared.
Odor
The witness's husband recalled a foul smell and flattened brush suggesting large bedding areas while hunting in the national forest.
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.
Odor
The witness reported nests in grass, a skunk-like odor while digging, and a sense of being watched from the treeline.
Footsteps in Florida
The witness returned with a friend in law enforcement to camp at the same area. Friday night they heard close footsteps and saw hogs, Saturday they measured the sighting location and saw broken vegetation, and Saturday evening the friend silently alerted and later said a creature watched them from about 15 feet. On leaving they found fresh teepee-like grass structures with the same foul smell, and afterward both were questioned by supervisors who called it a bear.
Property disturbance in Virginia
Around the second home the witness found toy trucks moved from a lidded sandbox to the steps two mornings, footprints behind the barn, broken trees, newly piled sticks by the pond and a small teepee structure. Later the trampoline was shifted about nine feet back and seven feet sideways, a makeshift clothesline gutter was torn off, a rock was heard flying through trees in daylight, and brief strong skunk-like and dead-meat odors occurred.
Structure or nest in Florida
The next morning the two men walked back toward the boat through tall grass. They found three pyramid-like grass structures with dug-out hollows that had not been there the day before. They both recognized the same foul smell the guest associated with the prior encounter.
Structure or nest in Missouri
Two officers spent a day hiking between a park trail and the uncle's land into an unlogged old-woods area. They filmed a rock box containing grape stems, numerous large fresh tree breaks all pointing the same compass direction, and a large intertwined structure at the top. They felt followed, heard large movement above them, human-like mumbling, footsteps that mimicked one officer, and a squirrel that abruptly went silent.
Structure or nest
Relatives found a large nest-like pile of evergreen boughs and leaves with a strong odor in an old building basement near camp.
Vocalization in New Hampshire
After the family guard dog died, the household noticed an absence of bears, deer and other animals and a series of odd events. Large and strategic trees blocked paths to the creek, owl-like hoots and coyote-like sounds approached each other then turned violent, and something breathed, growled, scraped and slapped at windows, trailer and shed, mostly when the witness worked nights. The other dog became afraid to go out alone.
Structure or nest
After the sighting the group found a small rock shelter one hill away with scattered food refuse, a bad smell, and signs something had slept there.
