Sasquatch charges witness after son fires shotgun near Blackstone (includes audio from follow-up investigation)

Late at night the witness and a relative went outside to check a heavy thud behind the house. They saw a deer run past, then a very tall hair-covered human-like figure approach from the woods. After a shotgun shot was fired toward the treeline, the figure veered closer, stopped nearby, then moved along the treeline into the woods where it remained visible for several minutes. A strong odor was noticed and large footprints were found the next day.

Four foot high fence barely slows 8-ft creature north of Fries

The witness was driving on a mountain highway on a foggy morning when a large hair-covered figure was seen beside the road. The witness stopped to watch as it stepped over a barbed-wire fence in one stride and walked away into the fog without looking toward them. The observation lasted just under two minutes and included a strong wet-dog odor.

31 October 2001 Lynchburg, Virginia #fd919012-cf7c-4cac-8883-e95a9e75154b

Paranormal encounter near Lynchburg, Virginia (2001)

The witness drove to a Blue Ridge Parkway overlook on Halloween night to clear his head and walked down a trail to a bench. After noticing unnatural silence and hearing branch snaps circling him, he returned to his car. While sitting in the car he heard repeated impacts like cones hitting the vehicle and saw tall black hooded figures in the treeline and prone shapes on the grass that appeared closer each time he looked away, with faint flickering lights near their faces. He spoke to them, then drove away, later finding no damage and noticing maps show the turnout on the opposite side of the road from his memory.

September 1981 Ft Lee, Prince George County, Virginia Class A #40645

Memory told of observing a hairy biped close to Civil War fortifications near Fort Lee

In early fall 1981 the witness and two friends rode bikes back to a stream in the battlefield woods to retrieve rock chips. They saw a dark, hairy figure bent over in the stream that stood upright, turned toward them, and then ran silently north along the stream on two legs. The group fled, returned later with older kids to search, and found no tracks except additional turned-over rocks.

Memory told of an early morning encounter with hairy biped near Buchanan

After bedding down in an open three-sided shelter, the witness awoke around midnight to a strong odor and saw a tall hairy bipedal silhouette backlit by the campfire. The figure urinated onto the adjacent occupant's sleeping bag before stepping off the shelter floor and leaving. The group then left the isolated shelter for a more populated campground nearby.

Paranormal encounter in Virginia

A man interviewed about five years earlier described encountering three figures in black cloaks at Devil's Marble Yard across the James River just after sundown. He could see no faces or hands, only blackness, and all three were the same size and build. He thought they floated rather than walked and assumed they were Satan worshipers, and he never returned.
