Man has nighttime sighting of creature walking across his property

Over several months, a couple at a rural home report nightly sounds including knocks, whistles, calls and footsteps, along with missing poultry, cats and a displaced ball. About one to two months ago, the husband witness saw a tall, hair-covered biped walk past their trailer and behind it, disappearing in under ten seconds. The couple report feeling scared to go outside and believe more than one creature may be in the area near caves.

Memory told of a mid-afternoon encounter along the Flatrock River

Two friends were playing at a secluded campground by a river on a clear spring afternoon, shooting at a can floating downstream. After noticing sudden silence and a rising noise from across the river, they saw a tall hairy figure standing with one foot in the water and one on the bank. They stared at each other for several minutes, then the witness fired his rifle into the air and both fled by car.

Vocalization near Columbus, Indiana

The witness heard coyotes in the woods behind the house and went in with a shotgun. He heard deer-like snorts back and forth, movement flanking him, clicking sounds and bird-like calls. Something followed him out, crossed the creek loudly, and a rock flew over his head. Later from the porch he heard a loud tree strike, saw movement running between houses, and next day found torn coyote remains and heard fences were down and dogs missing.

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.
