Multiple incidents with one good visual, in hunting area 3.5mi NE of Penn State Univ

The witness was walking back toward his vehicle along the creek after using predator calls when he heard a loud wood knock and heard footsteps paralleling him. He glimpsed a large upright figure slipping behind a tree, then caught its face and upper body in his spotlight from about 40 yards for about two seconds before it pulled back behind the tree. He retreated through brush, crossed the creek, and hurried back to his vehicle while on the phone with a friend.

Sasquatch sighting near Greene County (1981)

The witness and his friend camped and fished over a weekend at a remote creek below a ridge road. They experienced pebbles and rocks thrown, pacing, huffing, wood knocks, a disturbed fire pit and scattered poles. A large creature then came down the ridge into the creek, growled at them from about 20 yards, and left. A DNR officer later found prints, cast them, and called them bear tracks.

Man recalls childhood sighting near Allison Park

Two companions sitting on a pipeline corridor heard alternating bird-like calls and wood-knock sounds for about 20 minutes that grew louder and seemed to come from very close by. When they stood to look, they saw a tall grey-haired animal about 20-30 yards away staring at them. Both the witnesses and the animal immediately fled, with the animal crashing in a straight line uphill through the woods.

Whoop in Pennsylvania

The guest and three college friends drove to a remote back road at night to make whoops and knocks as a fun outing. Something answered with similar whoops and knocks and approached as they moved into the woods. The guest briefly saw a hair-covered biped moving between trees and later all four watched eyeshine peer from behind a tree before fleeing to the car and driving back to college.

Wood knock in Pennsylvania

The witness followed a trail to a rock face at dusk, heard a single loud wood knock, then glimpsed a large bipedal figure moving between trees and heard crunching footsteps alongside him. Trapped between creek brush and woods, he caught its face leaning around a tree in his spotlight. He then crashed through thorns, crossed the creek, and reached the road.
