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.

Bow hunter is escorted from woods by foul-smelling, acorn-throwing bipeds

Daytime sighting on Route 17 near Church View

In 1978 while driving on Route 17 in Virginia, the witness slowed for a dead animal in the road and noticed a strong swampy odor. He glimpsed a dark figure crouching at the woods edge, then watched in the rearview mirror as it entered the roadway in a few long strides, paused in a hunched posture over the carcass, and retreated quickly when another car approached. He was shaken and later wondered if the figure could have been a sasquatch, but states he cannot identify what he saw.

Howl in Virginia

A camping party arrived late at a ridgetop site and heard strange howling around 2 to 3 a.m. the first night. The next evening after dinner the dog fixated on brush by a steep drop, where one camper saw paired eyes at close range that avoided a flashlight, followed by branch breaks and a tall tree-like silhouette that walked from one side of camp to the road and later showed yellow eyeshine. The group packed hurriedly, secured the dog and lights, and drove home the same night feeling watched but not directly threatened.

UFO sighting in Virginia

While burning cardboard at a barrel with friends, the group watched an orange lantern-like light maneuver sharply, shift color, shrink away and blink out. Immediately after, a loud roar and crashing moved up and down the adjacent woods. The group extinguished the fire and ran inside; town friends called it a cow, which the witness rejects.
