Movement only in Mississippi (2005)

The witness got lost after dark on a misty rainy night in February while hunting in the bottoms and tried to follow a creek out. He shined a light and sensed bodies on both sides of the creek bed, followed by sudden commotion of leaves, heavy movement and breathy grunting. The sounds moved behind him about thirty feet and then stopped abruptly without fading into the distance, which he later interpreted as the same group of creatures.

Daylight sighting of a Bigfoot outside Muscle Shoals

Two companions were deer hunting near their camp in the late afternoon when they heard loud popping sounds, heavy footsteps, and a foul odor.

After a brief stare the creature stepped back into the woods and the witnesses fled and have avoided hunting deep in that area since.

Possible nighttime encounter at a rural home near the village of Jane

The witness went outside at night after dogs began barking and heard what sounded like bipedal footsteps in the woods behind the house. The footsteps approached after the witness called out, and a normally fearless dog retreated from the treeline. The witness inferred the source was very tall from the interval between steps and fired two shots into the ground, after which the footsteps calmly receded.

Cryptid sighting near Federal Way, Washington State (2005)

Three friends were sitting in a fenced backyard at dusk after playing softball when they noticed two spinning white lights in the tops of tall evergreens. Moments later a small, heavy, furry creature with a human-like face crawled from behind a wheelbarrow, looked at them, then ran uphill on all fours with loud heavy footfalls and cleared an eight-foot shed into the trees where the lights had been. Two of them started to investigate with a shovel and flashlight while the third reported a bright shooting star, then they left to meet friends. They have reported no similar activity at the house before or since.

Man Hears Evening Vocals in Prior Sighting Area

Late at night the witness heard loud, complex bark- and growl-like vocalizations coming from a ravine near the house. The sounds were described as louder and more structured than dogs, coyotes, or other familiar animals, and local dogs began barking during the episode. An attempted audio recording failed, and the sounds eventually stopped. The next day the witness found trampled vegetation, a coyote carcass, tarp pieces, a dog dish, and scat near the estimated sound source.

They described it as 7 to 8 feet tall, heavily built with very long arms, and insisted it never dropped to all fours like a bear.
