1 October 1983 Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma Class B #56829

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon

Three hunters camped in a river bottom over the opening weekend of bow season. Over several days and nights they reported heavy impacts, rustling, a skunk-like odor, red eyeshine, wood knocks, whistles, talk-like mumbling, a whoop-ending vocalization, and bent trees and branch structures. The most intense moment was a predawn episode with a deep guttural roar followed by a scream-like sound near camp. They left early after smelling the odor again near a plum thicket.

August 1982 Moores Hill, Dearborn County, Indiana Class B #23537

Possible camp stalking and strange sounds heard near Moore's Hill

Four boys were camping behind a house on a wooded hilltop above a creek drainage. During the day they heard loud, repeated bird-like and chimp-like calls approaching to within a few dozen yards, accompanied by movement in the brush, which visibly unsettled one companion. That evening they heard whistling calls across the camp for about an hour, and after most fell asleep the awake brother heard someone approach from the creek side and stand at the camp edge breathing heavily before leaving.

Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana (1981)

The witness arrived late for an evening deer hunt and climbed a stand. A doe bedded under the stand, then a tall black creature jumped about 20 feet between trees and stared with intense eye contact. After he aimed his scoped rifle it growled, beat a tree, exchanged whistles with another unseen mover, and he fled half a mile to his truck. He fired a warning shot, drove away as a hand reached for the tailgate, and saw a second creature in the mirror.

Sasquatch sighting in Ohio (1977)

On a weekend morning the witness and two companions walked down a trail toward the back fields and noticed a strong odor of death and wet dog. The witness saw a small hairy juvenile peeking from behind what proved to be the leg of a very large female standing motionless in a clearing. After he pointed at her she roared, the group fled while hearing screams, howls and chatter around them, and the next morning a large log they played on was found broken.

Mountain goat hunters have encounter with 8'-9' tall biped

In late August 1973, two companions setting up a hunting camp at night heard loud screams, whistles, and brush thrashing around them and retreated into their truck cab.

The witness later felt the animal had no intent to harm them.

Vocalization

While the caller sat in a ground blind and his friend sat nearby, a loud deep monkey-like or owl-like sound came from about 80 yards behind and moved 20 yards at a time. It sounded close and perfectly enunciated with no person visible. Another hunter nearby heard similar whistles moving toward him and left with his pistol.

A large live tree was pushed over and fast-moving silhouettes were seen around the camp. The group abandoned their gear and left after the brother, who had been paced in the woods, rejoined them at the car.

Sasquatch sighting in British Columbia

A few days before the October chum opening, the guest and three others were anchored off Village Island when banging, chirping whistles and a strong stink were noticed. In the spotlight two upright creatures were seen on the beach, one larger in the grass and one smaller below, which crouched and covered their faces. Rifles were aimed but not fired, and the figures later left into the bush, with further eye-shine, scenting sounds, and a tree bent as one departed.

Movement only in British Columbia

While fly fishing, the witness saw large brown movement between trees and then found very large flat-footed barefoot tracks with splayed gripping toes and a midfoot bend. He followed them to a creek crossing showing very long strides up a bank. He then heard a deep chickadee-like whistle, answered it, feared it was signaling another individual, and fled.

Camper details possible encounters in 2005 and again in summer 2009 near Trout Lake

A group was camping overnight at a remote forested lakeside camp. After hearing distant screams that seemed to shift position and prolonged branch-breaking around camp, the witness stayed awake listening while others slept. The witness heard heavy running and breathing pass the RV and noticed moonlight through the windows dim briefly, then later the companion's son fled his tent to the RV reporting tree-banging, movement, darkness at the tent, and a voice imitation. No one saw anything, and the next morning knocking elicited whistle replies from the woods.

The witness ran away through the woods to the path and was not followed.
