While hunting small game, witness gets a glimpse of "the hairy man"

A man hunting small game claimed a tall, fully hairy figure walked across a dirt road near Skilak Lake. The figure paused, looked in his direction appearing surprised, then left swiftly into the woods. The witness watched from a few hundred yards away in daylight, loaded his shotgun because he was unsure of intent, and later chose not to tell authorities for fear of disbelief.

Various incidents and sightings from 1976-2008 by family members at their rural home near Canton

In fall 2000 the wife reportedly saw a large dark figure walk across a field about 300 yards from home and into woods bordering a lake. The brief 3-5 second view was described as taller than five feet based on fence posts, stocky with very large shoulders, dark brown to black hair, and walking on two legs, causing an initial bear impression to be dismissed. The account was submitted by her husband along with later family experiences in the same wooded swamp-lake area.

Daylight sighting near a railroad bed and the Canisteo River

The witness and his son reportedly watched a dark animal from about three-tenths of a mile away in a flat river-bottom area.

The daylight sighting occurred in late spring during very dry conditions, and nearby railroad workers could not see the animal because a hedgerow blocked their view.

Two friends were staying overnight in a cabin by a creek when late at night someone tried the locked door and did not answer.

Next morning they found barefoot-like prints with a wide stride going up a steep embankment near the creek.

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.
