Door or window contact in Washington (2025)

After hearing thuds on the shack wall, three men went outside to investigate toward the outhouse. In the pitch dark beyond the outhouse they saw small pulsing dark-red lights that vanished when stared at directly and shifted position, with up to three seen at once. One man using a thermal scope saw no heat where the lights were but briefly saw a round white heat signature like a face peeking from behind a stump or tree, then later saw the pulsing red light; the lights eventually disappeared.

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.

Sasquatch sighting near Monroe, Michigan (2025)

The witness and the witness's son were bow fishing in a marsh area in late morning when something dropped from a tree nearby with rustling and a heavy thud.

The witness was turkey hunting in a different area and saw hens on a peaceful evening. While walking out on a county road bordered by fields and honeysuckle he heard bushes shake, a grunt and loud stopping footsteps. He briefly saw a figure moving fast tree to tree off the road, ran to his truck after crossing water where the sounds stopped, and had no further incidents.

Multi-witness daylight sighting 3.5 miles SE of Sixmile Lake (Leech Lake Reservation)

Two relatives driving slowly while hunting for grouse were alerted to a large dark figure in a grassy ditch beside a side road. They backed up and watched the upper body of the tall, long-armed figure move slowly upright into the woods. At the site they noticed a strong foul odor and minor ground disturbance but no clear footprints on packed gravel. Later the same day a game warden told them that spot was known for similar reports.

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.

26 October 2022 Coloma/Lotus, El Dorado County, California Class B #75096

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.

Sasquatch sighting in Ohio (2021)

The couple returned to the same road to measure the 2003 crossing and hike all day. They smelled strong urine and rotten-meat odors, found odd stacked limbs and other tree breaks, and watched a large limb fly over a cliff into the creek. Through binoculars the witness saw a black-furred being from waist up behind a tree staring back until it blinked, hid, reappeared, and later vanished by bending down. The husband saw an arm, they heard knocks, a whoop and running, and later found a large bare footprint in a creek bank and an impression behind a tree.

Tracks in Virginia (2020)

The witness was cleaning and preparing an auction site in the mountains when large barefoot tracks were found that dwarfed the witness's own foot. A few days later around midday a massive dark bipedal figure was seen leaning from behind a tree, was photographed, then left with heavy steps and a foul smell as the phone camera failed. That evening and the next night loud echoing vocalizations and loud bird-like whistles were heard while deer disappeared and the woods went silent.

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.

Moments later the companion saw branches about seven feet high moving in a row as if something tall had run through.

Cabin owners have a strange night near Warm Lake

The witness and family were sleeping in a cabin when an extremely foul odor came in through an open window, prompting the witness to close the window and turn off a fan. The son later reported waking several times hearing something outside and feeling watched, and on the last waking seeing the outline of a head outside a high living-room window. A morning search found no tracks besides their own, no vocalizations were heard, and the indoor dog remained quiet.
