June 2006 Minerva NY, Essex County, New York Class B #15191

Possible daylight sighting by motorist near Minerva

The witness was driving with a relative on an unpaved road toward a trailhead in late morning. From about 50 yards away the witness saw a large brown furry animal in the road lunge into dense woods. The witness reached the spot within seconds but found nothing in the clearing and woods beyond. The witness concluded the light color, large size, and quick disappearance did not fit a moose or bear.

Possible sighting by motorist at dusk outside Livingston

On April 29, 2006 the witness was driving southbound on an unfamiliar road after leaving a mall when a deer bolted across the road in front of the car. A dark bipedal figure about six feet tall immediately followed in fast pursuit of the deer across the road and into trees and swamp on the other side. The entire chase lasted under 20 seconds, with exaggerated arm swing and speed that seemed exceptional for uneven terrain.

Memory told of seeing three large bipeds jogging together in the woods near Rowley

As children searching for a trail to a nearby plaza, the witness and a friend heard a noise and saw three tan-colored, unclothed, upright figures jogging in single file on a ridge above them. The figures were larger than a very large man and moved away at moderate speed during an encounter lasting about 20 seconds. The boys then left the woods quickly and returned to the friend's house.
