Tracks in Virginia (2020)

The witness was cleaning and preparing an auction site in the mountains when large barefoot tracks were found that dwarfed the witness's own foot. A few days later around midday a massive dark bipedal figure was seen leaning from behind a tree, was photographed, then left with heavy steps and a foul smell as the phone camera failed. That evening and the next night loud echoing vocalizations and loud bird-like whistles were heard while deer disappeared and the woods went silent.

Sasquatch sighting near Patrick County (2018)

The witness was driving at night on a rural mountain road toward a rented cabin when a bright orange circular light ahead flared intensely and then went black. He stopped and found a live deer lying on its side in the road that appeared paralyzed and uninjured, then briefly turned to get his phone and found it gone without sound or trace. The surroundings went completely silent before a tall, top-heavy muscular silhouette appeared about 50 yards away and stared at him. After a peaceful-feeling standoff the figure walked up a bank and left, and forest sounds returned.
