Witness describes close encounter with two creatures in the light of a flashlight

The witness and a companion were spending time outside a house at night when they heard agitated animals, loud sniffing and an aggressive grunt from a field across the road. After getting a rifle and flashlight, they shone light across the road and saw two crouched figures about 15 feet away. One figure stood upright on two legs and appeared very large with its forearms resting on a 5-foot fence, while the other stayed crouched, and after a brief stare the witnesses went inside.

Daytime sighting by hiker, off West Sopris Creek Road

The witness was hiking with dogs on a packed snow trail when other dogs began barking at something ahead.

Hunter catches glimpse of biped on snowy road

The driver was traveling at night in light snow with a young child passenger when headlights revealed a large upright figure near the road. The figure moved downhill on two legs with long strides and a large upper body, which the driver felt differed from a bear. The driver stopped where the figure left the road and noticed smeared tracks in mud and snow leading downhill but did not follow them. The driver later said he believed the figure was likely a bigfoot.

Boy scouts see creature late at night

The witness and a companion were staying up late in their tent at scout camp when they left the tent area to relieve themselves nearby. They noticed a strong garbage-like odor, then saw a tall figure standing in the road a short distance away. After staring at it briefly, they watched it walk with long strides into roadside brush as the smell faded. They later concluded it could have been a Florida skunk ape after ruling out a bear to their own satisfaction.

Vocalization near Arch Cape, Oregon (2001)

Over about thirteen years living on the forested property, the guest reports seasonal activity in fall and spring involving loud vocalizations and groups of red glowing eyes watching from the tree line and yard. The sounds included sharp whistles, whoops, distant screams, and coordinated howler-like calls made while moving. The eyes were often seen as three together plus another apart, with one set much higher, and the family dog would retreat to the house when they were present.

Sasquatch sighting (2001)

The guest's father, driving empty between Spokane and Seattle, pulled onto a service road near the pass around 2-3 a.m. to doze. A jolt and bang woke him; looking in the passenger mirror under trailer lights he saw a tall dark figure with arms against the trailer. The trailer jolted again as if lifted, then two red-orange eyes turned to look at him and appeared to approach the cab, so he released the brakes and drove away to a truck stop east of Seattle.
