Resident's nighttime sighting outside home near Sewickly

Late at night in September 1997, the witness was smoking on a back porch when a high-pitched screech was heard from a neighboring yard.

Hunter observes a huge figure scaling a steep hillside in just moments near Clairton

Late one morning in November 1988, the witness was preparing for deer hunting at the base of a steep wooded hill before dawn when he heard a noise in a nearby thicket. A very large, broad humanoid shape rose up and quickly ran across a clearing and up the steep hillside out of sight in seconds. The witness waited until daylight, then hunted from his stand the rest of the day, noting the woods were unusually quiet.

Fall 1971 Allison Park, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Class A #14707

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.
