Footsteps near Lipan, Texas

While walking alone down the dirt road the witness heard branches breaking then heavy elephant-like running steps behind him. Something kept pace with him in the trees with loud nasty huffing wheezing breathing. He ran home hyperventilating and his parents later found a pushed-over trail in the tall grass where something had run.

Dogman sighting near Lipan, Texas

At his uncle's hillside house at night the adults saw something moving trees and went with guns to look. In a flashlight beam the witness saw a huge tall creature distinguished by massive upright pointed ears. His uncle fired a shotgun and it gave the same loud girthy scream heard on the Fourth of July, after which his father carried him running back to the house.

Howl

The witness led clients before dawn to an area where elk had been bugling the night before, but found total silence. At sunrise he bugled and heard a loud siren-like howl from the deep canyon, followed by repeated pounding like tree knocks or rocks. The group listened briefly then left to find elk.

Sasquatch sighting

Three hunters walking out in rain and moonlight felt watched and heard steps above them. The witness hid and scoped a large figure crouching then standing on the hillside. They prepared to shoot, but one companion fled in panic, and the other two held fire because its posture looked manlike, then left to retrieve their friend.

Scream

While walking to a hunting point the witness heard loud screaming for help in the canyon but could not locate his brother or father. When he returned, neither had heard anything.

The guest was awakened by a strong smell she associated with prior outside activity and shouted not to strike the balcony. She then moved to the kitchen side and heard something moving on the roof overhead. She described the period as a whirlwind of weirdness.

After logging repeated overnight knocks and noises, the guest awoke to find the downstairs security light on. A deer stood on the patio sofa close to the house shaking and quivering, which she interpreted as fleeing something in the woods. She had begun keeping a written log because disturbances occurred almost nightly.

Growl in Virginia

After getting a new puppy that alerted in panic, the guest followed it to the side deck and leaned over the edge. Something directly in front of her gave a loud huff-growl she felt physically, though she saw nothing despite a flashlight. A branch then snapped high in the tall trees to her left and fell, after which the dog had already fled inside and she backed inside.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

With her husband home, the guest heard a loud owl overhead answered from across the driveway by a second owl-like call that cracked. She took burst phone photos toward the woodline in the dark and on brightening saw a boxy standing figure looking toward her. The next morning she found deadfall trees newly lined along the driveway and tested that stepping over the line triggered the garage motion light, concluding the line marked the light's boundary.

After moving to full-time residence, the guest was repeatedly awakened by forceful strikes to her elevated bedroom balcony and garage side that shook rooms but revealed no one on inspection. The strikes occurred repeatedly in the early-morning hours and were accompanied at times by creepy laughing, whistling and knocking from the surrounding woods. She initially suspected human harassment but never saw anyone despite immediate searches with a flashlight.

this summer after moving Eureka Springs, Arkansas #494c91ec-8f0d-49f2-bdb7-68edf56fff2d

Tracks near Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After moving to a remote wooded property, the family found a very clear large human-like footprint with toes that was photographed with a tape measure. On separate occasions the child experienced a rock thrown past him near a creek, faint whooping, small trees moving together, a high scream-like whoop followed by a tree being pushed over, and the adults heard trees breaking and splashing into a pond. Dogs that normally chase sounds fled back to the house during these events.

Sasquatch sighting in Arizona

The witness and a companion camped late at night on a trail above a canyon. A tall hair-covered biped came up the trail, was startled on seeing the witness, hid briefly, then paced back and forth in front of the camp for over two hours. It left down the trail before sunrise, and the pair left for Phoenix at dawn.

just a couple weeks after my first sighting, about 4:30 in the morning Oregon #beb7de0d-b82b-4357-8e07-0ca6cbffbf25

Vocalization in Oregon

A couple weeks after the road sighting, the driver met another driver at a secluded wooded parking lot around 4:30 in the morning. Both heard what sounded like a muffled conversation between at least two, plus whistles, which stopped when approached. Loud stomping movements then circled in the woods and grew louder until both left in their trucks.

Pretty recent, really, over a two-week period Oregon #beb7de0d-b82b-4357-8e07-0ca6cbffbf25

Howl in Oregon

Over about two weeks of night deliveries, the driver heard howls and unexplained slaps on the box truck in the same area. One morning the headlights lit a tall slender hair-covered humanoid standing in the road. Noting its overlong arms and matted hair, the driver kept going as it stepped into lava rock terrain, then stopped to look but found nothing.

Footsteps in West Virginia

As kids the witness and his brother were paced by something in the woods while walking past a mountain to the bus stop. It matched their pace, moved when they moved, and stopped after one or two extra steps when they stopped. At the time they thought it might be a panther.
