Young girls remember seeing a hair-covered creature running under a streetlight near Belmont

Two 13-year-olds were playing outside in front of a house on a snowy winter night when they saw a tall, hair-covered biped running along the side of the road about 50 feet away under a streetlight. They described it as 7 to 9 feet tall, covered head to toe in fur, and running faster than anything they had seen. After it ran out of sight, they ran inside to tell an adult, who did not believe them, and they stayed inside because they were frightened.

Howl near Lytle Creek, California (1999)

The witness and his father were camping overnight in a canyon campsite. After dinner while sitting at the campfire they heard a distant loud howl from toward the canyon entrance that was answered by a whoop from behind camp.

The sounds then stopped, and fresh snow overnight prevented any track search the next morning.

Hunter hears late night wood knocking near Nelsonville, by Wayne Nat'l Forest

The witness was sleeping at a relative's house near Wayne National Forest in late November 1998 and awoke around 2:23 a.m. to hollow thudding like a branch or log struck against a tree trunk.
