Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2006)

The witness had recently moved to Washington and went to the Nisqually River with a parent to fish. While the parent fished in the river, the witness sat on a rocky bank and heard repeated movement in brush behind. Looking back, the witness saw foliage moving as if breathing and then a large eye with a reddened white. The witness shouted to leave and they hiked back to the vehicle; the shape was gone when they looked back and the parent had not seen it.

Early morning sighting by resident along Highway 7 near Bismarck

On a clear cool morning the witness stood on his property after hearing dogs bark and watched a large dark hairy animal moving east along a fence row about 50 yards away. He saw only the upper body in left-side view for 2-3 seconds as it trotted briskly without bobbing, comparing its size to a very tall heavy man. He later searched for tracks but found none because the ground was too brushy.

Driver has noontime sighting near her home

Around noon the witness was driving after leaving home when movement caught attention. Less than a football field away the witness watched a tall brown hairy biped walking toward nearby water for about 10-13 seconds. The creature walked upright with large steps at a leisurely pace, glanced toward the witness without showing alarm, then continued on. Recent logging noise was noted nearby and a later visit to the area led to a revised taller height estimate.

Man observes creature walking across road

The witness was driving home at night through a canyon pass when the headlights revealed a tall, big bipedal animal crossing the highway into a gully.

While standing in front of the truck the witness heard a very loud scream/roar described as gorilla-like but higher pitched, which prompted leaving the area immediately.

November 2005 Pennsylvania EP 176

Animal behaviour in Pennsylvania (2005)

The witness was deer hunting on a friend's wooded property in Pennsylvania during buck season in 2005. From a ridge he watched a single hairy biped for about 10 to 12 minutes as it broke a small pine tree, investigated the stump, and appeared to eat ants from a rotten stump. The creature sniffed the air, showed no aggression, then walked away apparently unaware of the witness. The witness noted an apparent left arm injury and described the animal as about his own height, thin, and more human-like than expected.

She estimated it was 7 to 9 feet tall, larger than a man, with slightly long arms and its head tipped slightly down.
