Veteran is surprised at home by a large night visitor near Archdale

Shortly after midnight the witness walked past his front door on the way to the bathroom and noticed a tall, hair-covered figure standing at the bottom of his front steps.

He turned to grab a camera but the figure was gone when he looked back, and he saw nothing when he opened the door and turned on the porch light.

Sasquatch sighting in New York (2013)

The guest, then in early teens, was camping in a tent with a teenage friend and the friend's father at a lake-side campground in the Adirondacks. Late at night the woods went silent and heavy bipedal footsteps approached the tent, then a very large hand pushed the tent wall inward. After the friend's father mumbled in his sleep the hand withdrew, and the visitor rummaged through a cooler on the picnic table before walking into the lake and swimming away. In the morning the cooler had been moved, items were strewn, and an oily feel and stale smell were noticed.

Nighttime sighting from a window by a young woman near Lake Lou Yaeger

The figures left into the woods, and the next day the witness found the tree down with the saw bar displaced and many tracks and cracked walnuts nearby.

They left at first light and were later towed back to the landing.
