Lone camper in his hammock has an eventful night near Sullivan
The witness backpacked solo to a remote campsite and spent the night in a hammock. Throughout the night he heard knocks, screams, howls, voices, footsteps, rocks and twigs landing nearby, and felt his tarp, hammock lines and gear being touched. He also noted a bent-tree structure near camp the prior evening and disturbed logs and tree piles in the morning, but reported seeing no creature.
Runner shadowed by possible biped keeping pace through heavy forest near Wirtz
The witness was road-running in the morning when they heard something in the adjacent woods keeping pace with them. The sound slowed, sped up, or stopped with the witness, paused near houses, then resumed in wooded stretches for about a mile. No source was ever seen due to fog and cover, and the witness felt the terrain was too rough to be easily matched by a person.
Deer hunter hears possible vocalizations and watches a tall dark figure near Russellville
While hunting in the late afternoon, the witness heard a loud long whoop followed by chatter apparently responding to distant shooters, then heard it again from farther along the treeline. The witness then saw a bipedal dark figure about 200 yards away walking in pines toward a break, where it stopped and crouched by a brush pile. The witness left without approaching closely and returned the next day, finding no sign but noticing an unusual odor.
Husband and wife hear loud scream from inside their home in the town of Rocky Mount
Late at night in July 2007 the witness was watching television at home while his spouse slept in another room with a window open. Both were startled by an extremely loud scream coming from outside that corner of the house. The witness went outside to investigate but found nothing. Years later the couple heard purported recordings on television that they felt matched the sound exactly.
Possible pre-dawn vocalization heard by hunter near Ferrum
The witness arrived in darkness to hunt deer from a tree stand on private land. While sorting gear in the stand, a very loud prolonged scream-howl ending in a growl occurred at close range, followed by movement in a nearby pine thicket and a brief foul odor. The witness stayed in the stand until first light, then left, and later visits had no further incident.
Arrowhead hunter has distant encounter in Sulphur River bottoms.
The witness was hunting arrowheads along a lake/river shoreline on a very hot late afternoon. From across the water the witness noticed a dark shape first taken for a stump, then saw it move while soaking in the water. After the witness climbed onto a dam, the figure apparently noticed the witness, stood up and walked to shore, and was gone by the time the witness finished crossing.
Resident describes possible vocalizations near Robertsville
The witness returned after being away for a week, parked near the barn late at night, and walked toward the house. From the immediate right the witness heard a hair-raising guttural growl twice and hurried inside to tell family. The next morning the witness called the conservation office, where the person consulted said the described sound was definitely not a bear.
Witness hears sounds on remote farm similiar to those attributed to Bigfoot on television
In the summer of 1996 the witness was with two companions around a large bonfire on a neglected wooded farm property. An extremely loud scream-like vocalization was heard from the lower wooded ground and seemed to circle around the group. The witness felt the source was upset by the fire and was disturbed because it moved closer rather than away. Hearing alleged Bigfoot vocalizations on television later reminded the witness of the sound.
