Campers sleeping inside their tent hear clacking and are touched near Bumping Lake

The witness was sleeping in a tent at a lake campground with family when she awoke to repeated patterned clacking sounds from the south.

She awoke again later to distant clacking, and in the morning found no sign except deer tracks with the tent still staked.

Couple awakened by very loud howls near Maple Valley

The witness and a companion were sleeping at home with a bedroom window open when they were awakened around 1:30 a.m. by extremely loud howls coming from outside.

Possible activity and odd discoveries found by a Traditional Native American near Port Deposit

After the witness made a whoop sound, knocks continued, then a nearby dog barked aggressively and a third position across the road knocked. Interpreting the pattern as an L-shaped ambush, the witness gathered the children back to the house.

The same summer as the sightings, the witness sat outside by a campfire while coyotes vocalized in one corner of the field.

Footsteps in New York (2014)

The day after Thanksgiving in 2014 the witness walked with family and a friend to and from a quarry in the dark. Footsteps on one side paced them, stopping when they stopped and starting when they started, maintaining distance over about a quarter to half mile. They shone flashlights behind them and saw nothing, and the follower did not pass a certain point on the return.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (2014)

After hearing heavy metal banging for several nights, the witness ran armed from his fifth-wheel to a 30x40 foot excavation pit. He confronted two 8-9 foot hair-covered beings on the far side and a 4-foot juvenile trapped in the 12-foot hole, while a 10-11 foot individual flanked near his truck. After a scream-roar and standoff where he lowered his aim off the juvenile, the adults retrieved the juvenile and withdrew silently to the treeline. He packed up, later had researchers trespass after his cousin told them, filled the hole, and sold the property.

They then heard loud tree snapping approaching the tree line and fled, later seeing a fast blue streak of light while driving away.
