Day hiker sees large, hairy animal which seems to follow him

The witness pulled off a highway west of Cody in late afternoon to hike north through timber and rocky outcrops. Over about an hour the witness heard rocks rolling, brush breaking and movement that seemed to follow and stop with them. While returning toward the road the witness turned to see an upright, brown, long-haired animal about 60-70 yards away that immediately leapt into dense timber. The witness was uncertain whether the sounds and sighting involved the same animal and noted a bear as a possible alternative, only later considering Bigfoot after finding a website.

Sighting near Yellowstone Park entrance by two witnesses cutting wood

The witness and his brother were cutting firewood near a river when the witness noticed movement on a distant slope across the river. After losing it briefly, the witness watched through binoculars as a bulky dark-haired figure walked upright downhill for about 100 yards. About half an hour later while loading the truck in near-darkness, the witness heard an unfamiliar high-pitched squealing noise from upriver.

Memory told of heavy, bipedal running heard while camping in Yellowstone National Park

In the winter of 1980 the witness and a relative camped overnight in a tent in Yellowstone after hiking and fishing. Around 10 at night while inside the tent they heard and felt something large and heavy run past on two legs for about ten seconds. They remained inside terrified until daybreak and found no tracks in the morning.
