As teenagers the witness and a friend hiked toward a low reservoir inlet to fish. They saw a hairy form hunched over digging in willows below them. It stood partly up and ran away bipedally through brush too thick for a person.

Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana

The witness stopped a logging truck and trailer at a job site in the early morning to tighten straps. After noticing a rotten smell, the cab door shut and straps were yanked on the opposite side. Looking up, the witness saw a huge hairy creature with an elongated pointed head and sausage-like fingers watching and sizing him up. The creature backed away and bolted for the nearby treeline when another truck's lights appeared, and the witness later left trucking after being ridiculed.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

At a rural house on the Oregon coast the household experienced repeated night howls, growls, talking-like sounds, dogs reacting, motion lights, a hand smudge, and large footprints in hard gravel. Young children repeatedly described dark hairy figures with flat noses and red eyes pawing or scratching at a bedroom window, motioning to come outside, and disappearing and reappearing.

Sasquatch sighting in Pennsylvania

Sasquatch sighting

After the lights faded, the witness returned to his fire, slept in a cocoon-style bag, and woke unable to move with a sensation of a large weight sitting on him that felt unmenacing and joking. When he freed himself nothing was visible. In the morning, bait hung 100 feet away was gone without triggering a sensitive motion camera except for footage showing items vanishing, and later review revealed a dome-like shape rising seven feet high at the frame's edge.

UFO sighting

While alone on a mountaintop research site after dark, the witness looked over a valley and saw four huge bright round hovering lights about a mile away. He watched them for about twenty minutes, considering whether they could be aircraft, until they were gone. He notes he did not film them and did not want to mix an apparent aerial anomaly into his Bigfoot filming.

Sasquatch sighting near Portland, Oregon

The witness and a friend spent the night in a wooded area outside Portland that a local woman considers active, hoping to explore telepathic contact. After a mental exchange about meeting later, they watched two hovering lights about fifteen feet away for half an hour. Later, while sleeping by a low fire, the witness felt warm fur against his calf as his body was spun over, causing him to leap up, and the woman later said the resident figure claimed to have touched him.

Sasquatch sighting near Brown Mountain

The guest went hunting with an uncle in a mountainous area and followed a blood trail to a wounded deer in snow. A very large hairy biped stood close behind them breathing heavily and swaying, watching the deer and tracking the guest's rifle movements. They laid down their guns and backed away, after which the creature dragged the deer, tore it in half, left one half, and carried the other away.

Sasquatch sighting near Cherokee, North Carolina

A few years later the guest was playing inside near dusk while the father was dressing a deer outside. A shadow paced past the front window, then the creature screamed and pounded the house until its arm broke through the glass. The father ran out with a shotgun, argued and exchanged cries with it for nearly half an hour, then fired. The father later had the grandfather bring a truck, removed the body, and years later said he shot it in the face three times.

Sasquatch sighting near Cherokee, North Carolina

The guest described being a young child playing on the living room floor in the evening while both parents were in the same room. A hairy creature came to the window, slammed its hands on either side, and pressed its face to the glass. The father seized a muzzleloader and went outside, where he and the creature exchanged loud roars for about twenty minutes before it left.

Rock throwing in Ohio

Two relatives were bass fishing from a small boat when rocks were thrown toward them. After beaching, one threw rocks back, the creature screamed, stepped out, charged and struck one man hard enough to break ribs and puncture a lung, then threw a log that cut his chin. It reappeared swaying and clicking, then leapt a great distance and ran off on all fours. Authorities and later visitors called it a bear and told them to leave it alone.

Footsteps in Florida

The witness returned with a friend in law enforcement to camp at the same area. Friday night they heard close footsteps and saw hogs, Saturday they measured the sighting location and saw broken vegetation, and Saturday evening the friend silently alerted and later said a creature watched them from about 15 feet. On leaving they found fresh teepee-like grass structures with the same foul smell, and afterward both were questioned by supervisors who called it a bear.

Odor in Florida

The witness paddled a kayak in pre-dawn darkness to scout fish and noticed unnatural quiet. After daylight he smelled a horrific odor, heard a powerful scream-growl that shook vegetation, and saw a face behind a palm frond. The creature charged into the water to within about 15 feet while he held up a paddle, stared with a hostile expression, then turned and walked back to the woods.

Sasquatch sighting in Mississippi

The witness, working as a narcotics investigator, was parked on a gravel road at a management-area entrance and stepped to the back of the vehicle. A tall broad figure about the witness's height stood 50 to 60 feet away in profile and then turned to face the witness. A rumbling grunt was heard from the brush nearby while the figure watched, after which the witness got in the vehicle and left.

Sasquatch sighting in Indiana

While hauling a refrigerated load north at night, the witness pulled onto an exit ramp to check a temperature alert and began diagnostics on the trailer. The witness noticed a musky odor and breathing, turned on cab work lights, and found a tall hairy face leaning in within a few feet. When the trailer engine kicked on, both were startled, the creature slapped the unit hard enough to break fiberglass and then ran across a field with heavy footfalls.

Dogman sighting near Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

The witness left a lakeside campground after dark in a pickup with a young child, followed by relatives in another vehicle. Headlights revealed a wolf/coyote-like animal down the road that then rose onto two legs to about the witness's height. The witness swerved to avoid it, and it lunged toward the tailgate as the truck passed, after which the witness sped to the end of the road and later told relatives who said the creature was known around the lake.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma

The witness drove out at night looking for a lost small dog and pulled to the side of a lonely road near a ball field and woods. While outside the pickup the witness heard brushing sounds and smelled a skunk-like odor, then got back inside. The back of the truck was then bumped hard enough to feel like a low-speed rear-ending, and a tall silhouette was seen in the taillights while a yell/scream was heard, prompting the witness to drive away.
