Daylight sighting by hunter in swampy riverbed 58 miles east of Fayetteville

The witness was scouting for a deer stand site in a swampy pine forest in the early afternoon. After hearing a distant splash and nearby snapping limbs, the witness saw a massive ape-like animal running away while grunting. The animal disappeared into the swamp, leaving a strong musk smell. The witness left, unsure what had been seen.

2022 Hot Springs, North Carolina #63170ee6-6148-46f1-b490-292dde8cc477

Structure or nest near Hot Springs, North Carolina (2022)

The witness parked by a gated abandoned road and walked about a mile, then left the road to inspect tire marks. He found teepee-like stick structures, snapped saplings he could not break, and downed trees funneling movement into a wash. Birds went silent, loud tongue-clicking surrounded him with an answering whistle, and objects sounding like rocks were thrown as he left. From a field with a large quartz rock he saw a dark shape in a distant tree.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina (2016)

The witness and his wife were hiking to Crabtree Falls in July 2016 when they left the main trail to follow a creek uphill through boulders. Near the top of a 25-30 foot cascade the witness saw a tall lanky hairy figure crouched above the water with its arm in the falls. After his wife screamed the creature stood, grunted, stared briefly, then crossed the creek in one step and climbed out of sight, after which the couple left and avoided hiking for months.

Sasquatch sighting near Asheville, North Carolina (2008)

The witness and two friends were on a three-day hiking and camping trip in the mountains near Asheville. On the third day they were spread out traversing a steep slope when the witness stopped to rest and heard movement in thick brush below. Something rushed from behind, knocked him into a tree, then stood over him as he lay on his stomach, vocalizing loudly when he tried to look up and swaying while breathing heavily. It glanced toward a second noise downhill, then left as the friends approached calling out, leaving the witness injured and shaken.

1983 Forsyth County, North Carolina #gid://art19-episode-locator/V0/getbB_16nwpZEww6fJEI-cUABLcp24LPCKmiLpKZqDY

Sasquatch sighting near Forsyth County (1983)

The witness and a friend parked in a car on a wide tractor path near creek bottoms at night to drink before a party. A very large hair-covered biped took one long stride into the path about 20-25 feet away and faced the car for a minute or more, breathing heavily and flexing its fists. After a whistle-like sound from the woods, the creature made a dismissive huff, stepped out of sight in one stride, and left silently. The two men drove away and did not return.

November 1976 Falcon, Sampson County, North Carolina Class A #6267

Two young men are confronted in broad daylight by a large creature near Falcon

On a November 1976 afternoon two young men hunting squirrels walked toward a river when a large hairy biped came up from the river bottom toward them. It stopped about 30 feet away, looked at them, snapped a small dead tree and vocalized. The pair retreated over a ridge and ran, later discussing whether it had been a person in costume.

1957–1959 North Carolina #gid://art19-episode-locator/V0/7CSpSH9qYhcCPwIqaJvgmM-V0kqOE2oITzhfv8hbLkY

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina (1957)

The witness, then about 12, was hunting squirrels alone in the woods behind his childhood home. After crossing a creek bridge into thick regrowth he heard rhythmic leaf-rustling and pushed through brush to within a few feet of a very large cinnamon-brown hairy animal lying flat asleep. He watched its breathing move leaves, could see only its back with legs tucked under, then backed out fearing it was a bull and told no one for decades.

about a year ago North Carolina #12cfbfe2-5b06-4792-b124-de72ccd1adf9

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

After moving in, the couple heard whistles, whoops, footsteps and had pebbles thrown, with trail cameras failing. On a cold night about a year ago they sat quietly with lights off, heard a group approach talking, then lit them with flashlights. They describe one tall figure by a deck, one smaller figure lying prone that blinked, others peeking from trees, and others slapping buildings as a distraction before all left down a ridge.

Partial sighting in North Carolina

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

After leaving the Marines and moving back to the guest's parents, the son began messaging about odd occurrences when getting home late from a fast-food closing shift. He reported seeing large moving shadows including a couple huge ones with smaller monkey-like movers, hearing owl-like hoots that were not right, and hearing drums.
