Paranormal encounter in Vermont

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

The witness, six months pregnant, walked half a mile into family woods to be alone after an argument. A very large hairy figure approached on its belly then stood to about nine feet, displaying threatening behavior. A second figure arrived and appeared to scold the first in language-like vocalizations before looking at the witness. The witness fled back to the house when able to move.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

The witness was living alone in a trailer while clearing land for a cabin. Over several nights loud banging on a metal trailer woke him, culminating in screams that drew him toward a large excavation. He confronted two tall hairy figures and a smaller one trapped in the pit, with another large figure flanking him. After a tense standoff the group retrieved the small one and withdrew to the treeline, and the witness left the property at sunrise.

Tracks

The witness and five family members were camping and fishing at a remote lake. In the evening rocks were thrown toward a brother across the lake, followed by mimicked voices, screams, growls and surrounding noises. A large live tree was pushed over and fast-moving silhouettes were seen around the camp. The group abandoned their gear and left after the brother, who had been paced in the woods, rejoined them at the car.

Howl in Virginia

A camping party arrived late at a ridgetop site and heard strange howling around 2 to 3 a.m. the first night. The next evening after dinner the dog fixated on brush by a steep drop, where one camper saw paired eyes at close range that avoided a flashlight, followed by branch breaks and a tall tree-like silhouette that walked from one side of camp to the road and later showed yellow eyeshine. The group packed hurriedly, secured the dog and lights, and drove home the same night feeling watched but not directly threatened.

BFRO YEAR: about 1961 Huntsville TX, Walker County, Texas Class B #23531

Woman tells of her husband's close encounter as a young man with "The Hermit" near Huntsville

About 1960, the submitter's husband and two school friends were spending a weekend night inside a relative's cabin when they felt watched and saw a tall hair-covered figure silhouetted by the open refrigerator light. The boys shouted and split up to flee to the car, with the husband reporting something running close behind him that he could hear breathing and smell strongly like moldy skunk. In hindsight he wondered whether the figure was also fleeing and had simply taken the same path.

Odor

After his vehicle became stuck in snow on a high peak in February, the witness hiked miles at night to get cell reception and arrange a rescue. During the hike he found a freshly torn small coyote skull with no tracks, smelled skunk that vanished, and heard sounds like large trucks with no roads nearby. Weeks later his lost emergency locator showed movement and an SOS, and searches found a branch nest with a large X nearby and a trail camera that later disappeared.

Sasquatch sighting

A witness sitting near a wooded slope watched a solid-white upright figure approach and stop a short distance away. The figure faced the witness, gave a loud woman-like scream, leapt away, then beat on a tree. The witness fled to a nearby house convinced it was an animal, not a person or ghost.

Sasquatch sighting

The host returned to the mountain road where he and a companion previously had an encounter. He describes footsteps closing in, growling and heavy breathing, a monkey-like figure in a tree and shapes running across the road, then a large figure stepping into the road, pausing to look and feinting from behind a fallen tree while a lighter figure jumped into the road and dropped to all fours before leaving.

Memorial Day weekend Big Bay, Michigan #bb8a48d6-2e44-424b-a557-57c8f3696524

Movement only near Big Bay, Michigan

The witness and his wife were camping at their remote property and sitting by a campfire after sunset when a low white light approached, passed nearly overhead, and continued behind the trees. A few minutes later they heard yipping that rose and dropped into overlapping grunting, screams and yells from about half a mile away, followed by total silence. The witness said he had camped there for decades and never heard anything like it, and later felt a recording from another Michigan case sounded nearly identical.

Footsteps

The witness and his boss pulled into the farm driveway late at night so the boss could relieve himself. While sitting in the parked car the witness told of his childhood sighting and both heard two-footed sidestepping cross the barn where moonlight showed through a gap. When backing out the witness clearly saw a woman in old-fashioned dress with bonnet and apron behind the car and thought he had struck her. He got out to check, found nothing under or around the car, and both left shaken.

Sasquatch sighting in Michigan

The witness was tending a fire while his son swam in the river when he repeatedly saw bipedal legs moving through foliage on the far bank getting closer. He called his son out, heard snaps and a whoop, and later saw the legs taking big strides on the ridge. They waited by the fire until it went quiet.
