Possible sighting and howls heard by deer hunters in John Muir Wilderness

Two deer hunters hiking back to camp at dusk near Heart Lake heard loud bellowing howls and watched a deer flee through brush. They then saw a tall dark figure on the ridgeline that first resembled a standing bear but looked like neither a bear nor a man through a rifle scope. The figure ran downhill after the deer and disappeared into brush, and the hunters later found a very large footprint where it had stood.

The witness described a tall, dark-haired, unclothed biped with lighter patches on its back and rump that never looked back.

Driver sees running figure along road at night near Woodlake

The witness and companion were driving north at night when they saw a tall, silvery-white bipedal figure running south along the woods edge, then turning east into dense woods about fifteen feet away during a roughly three-second view. The figure was described as slender and athletic, about seven feet tall, with flowing hair on the arms and fast, graceful movement. The next morning they found 20 to 30 tracks of two sizes with visible toes in soft muddy ground nearby, but no photos were taken and rain likely washed the tracks away.

Possible early morning encounter by hunters in the Green Swamp

Two people were sitting around a campfire in early-morning darkness when they heard heavy footsteps approaching through the woods.
