Group of elk hunters hear multiple Sasquatch wood knocks near Stateline Reservoir in Uinta’s

A group of five relatives on an elk-hunting trip waited on a log near a meadow at dusk. They heard paired loud wood-on-wood knocks coming from two different directions that seemed to respond to each other and to the witness's own knocking. After reuniting, the group continued to hear knocks, including a single closer knock behind them and sounds of movement behind them.

Late at night the witness was unloading music gear from a truck in the garage when a loud distant scream-like roar was heard twice. The sound was very clear in the quiet night and was estimated at half a mile to a mile away.

Boy scouts see a tall creature walking fluidly while hiking at night

Three camp counselors were walking a trail at night when the narrator saw a tall, dark bipedal figure moving across a slope on the far side of a stream about 50-60 ft away.

The frightened group retreated to trees, waited until about 1 a.m., then continued out armed with sticks, finding no tracks afterward.
