The first guest's friend was asleep in his house on the reservation with the window open on a hot night.

The next day he and his brother returned with guns and found three large footprints in the backyard.

Years after the original case the guest and a small research group followed the same creek and found another set of submerged tracks with a 72-inch stride, estimated to mean a very tall individual.

November 16th, the day after opening day of deer season, about two years ago Lake County, Michigan EP 161

Sasquatch sighting near Lake County

The witness was deer hunting from a familiar hillside stump in the late afternoon when the woods went silent and a strong rotting odor appeared. He watched a large black hairy biped walk effortlessly up a steep hill toward him, sniff the air and make eye contact for several seconds before walking away over the hill. After it left he heard a loud high-pitched scream in the distance, felt watched while leaving, and vomited once clear of the woods.

around the first of May or so Durango, Colorado EP 132

Sasquatch sighting near Durango, Colorado

The witness lived for two to three months in a rock overhang above a canyon stream, fishing with traps and hunting small game. A large hairy creature repeatedly raided his fish traps, exchanged rock throws, accepted camp bread, used a larger trap left for it and took deer remains. After an ice storm the witness developed severe pneumonia with high fever and could not tend his fire. He reported the creature looking in on him, leaving meat, a headless rabbit and herbs he boiled, then carrying him down the canyon over hours or days until a couple in a converted school bus found him and got him to a hospital.

While working in the park, the guest hiked to climb a mountain via a narrow valley and detoured to check an old cabin site. He found a large well-trodden trail, a shredded willow break, and a torn-apart rotten stump, which he attributed to snow and bears at the time. On the return in a sunny open spot he heard a loud single-syllable vocal from the woods over the creek and chose to leave for the wide river bar rather than investigate.

Howl near Index, Washington

In his early twenties the guest bushwhacked to a remote trailless high mountain lake to look for Sasquatch and camped overnight. He woke at night to a high-pitched howling unlike coyote, and in the morning found a large track impression in mud in front of his tent. He felt an urgent need to leave, hurried down hearing branches cracking behind him, and the urgency lifted when he reached sunshine and the creek.

Vocalization near Talala, Oklahoma

Late at night while photographing on the porch, the witness felt watched then heard a single grunt like a pig and horse combined near trees, later heard again behind her brother's house. Chickens were frightened with one laying prematurely, dogs barked, and her brother came out with a light and firearm. Around the same period a newly nailed chicken-pen roof was ripped back, mulch buckets were moved without spilling, finger-like swipes appeared in a bucket, and she often felt watched near the barn and swing set.

About two weeks after the roof sighting, the witness walked the same direction at dusk and heard very loud monkey-like noises from a wooded lot. She first thought it was a movie from a nearby trailer, but windows and doors were closed and the sound came from the trees. The noise stopped as she neared, then resumed after she passed, and she hurried away without looking.

Footsteps near Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

Over multiple nights the witness heard shuffling coming down the hall to his basement bedroom, with the door moving, books sliding off, blankets pulled far away, and scratches appearing on his arm. Once he looked and saw a three-foot grinning gargoyle-like figure that vanished when he swung at it. A marble-like hit to the neck in daylight was part of the same period.
