Man sees tall dark silhouette in Rockaway Township swamp.

The witness was driving past a marshy wetland area beside a highway during morning rush hour and peered into the woods and fields. About 200-250 yards away near a creek, the witness saw a dark upright human-like silhouette standing motionless for 4-5 seconds, apparently looking down.

Day hiker sees large, hairy animal which seems to follow him

The witness pulled off a highway west of Cody in late afternoon to hike north through timber and rocky outcrops. Over about an hour the witness heard rocks rolling, brush breaking and movement that seemed to follow and stop with them. While returning toward the road the witness turned to see an upright, brown, long-haired animal about 60-70 yards away that immediately leapt into dense timber. The witness was uncertain whether the sounds and sighting involved the same animal and noted a bear as a possible alternative, only later considering Bigfoot after finding a website.

August 1979 Don't Know, Hamilton County, New York Class A #6695

Encounter with Juvenile Creature

In 1979 the witness had moved ahead of a hiking group in the Adirondacks to watch beavers and was walking back to the main trail. Something flushed from thick brush ran diagonally toward the witness on the trail, pounding loudly and wailing like a woman screaming, and was seen partially as a fast, upright furry figure about four and a half feet tall. The witness initially assumed a bear cub but later doubted that because it ran upright for about 150 feet and the vocalization resembled sounds associated with Bigfoot reports.
