Odor in Georgia (2025)

Two soldiers on a nighttime security patrol left the patrol base and noticed unnerving silence, cold air, a strong rotten odor, and sounds paralleling them and following behind. They heard a knocking sound and a whistle that mimicked their own signal, then encountered a large shaggy shape blocking the trail that rose from a crouch and walked away upright. They were found by an instructor about a mile from the base perimeter and later told by leadership not to discuss the incident.

Footsteps in Georgia (2025)

The witness and a fellow trainee were pulling night security in foxholes at a remote patrol base when they heard slow footsteps and had small stones and a stick land near them. The fellow trainee saw a tall boulder-like shape by a large pine that did not respond to challenge passwords, prompting both to fire blank rounds and the whole perimeter to open fire. The shape then left rapidly through the draw with loud crashing and a large splash in the creek, after which leaders arrived and joked about Bigfoot while the fellow trainee remained shaken.

Whoop in Georgia (2011)

A few days before a tree-treatment job, the witness drove to a turnaround at the end of a logging road to wait for a contact. He heard a loud snap, heavy running footsteps, tree movement, knocks, three whoops, pebble impacts on the truck, a loud yell and a throaty shriek, and glimpsed a dark figure. He left and met his contact at the paved road.

DOT work crew encounters growls, knocks, footprints, visual glimpse under bridge for Hwy 96 near Flint RIver

The witness was supervising a crew clearing brush under a highway bridge in the morning. The group noticed a strange odor, heard persistent movement and muffled grunts, and watched something peeping from behind a tree. Later a skinned rabbit hung high in a tree disappeared, bare footprints larger than the workers feet were found in mud by a creek, and loud limb-breaking sounds caused the whole crew to flee.

Sasquatch sighting in Georgia (1994)

As a young teen running away, the guest walked under a bridge and noticed a tall hairy figure peering around a large pine and swaying. He fired his BB gun, the creature hid grunting, then ran past him as a nearby homeowner shouted. He ran home and later returned with his father, and the neighbor said he saw a small child and a very large figure run off together.

Two fisherman recall a daylight encounter north of Helen

Two companions trout fishing walked up an old roadbed paralleling the river and stopped where a gully crossed the road. They heard a loud thud and found a large log across the path behind them, then heard leaves shuffling upslope and saw a very large hair-covered figure standing close by. They fled back to their other companions, then the witness returned with two companions, found a large barefoot-like footprint in mud, but saw nothing else.

They gathered the dogs and left without approaching.

UFO sighting in Georgia

On many occasions the witness saw what looked like a flashlight moving through the woods but steady rather than bouncing as a carried light would. He would tell his father but the light would be gone when they checked.
