Woman and her husband have night time encounter near El Campo

Possible stalking outside a campers' tent in the White Knob mountains

On the last night of a camping trip, the witness lay awake in a tent around midnight and heard close footsteps and deep breathing from a large presence outside. The witness sat up, armed, and turned on a flashlight, after which all sounds stopped and a sudden intense dread lifted. No animal was seen, no odor was noticed, and nothing further happened that night.

Possible camp stalking at Taylor Reservoir outside Aspen

The witness and his wife were bedded down in their pop-up camper at night when they heard lapping sounds and their skillet rattling outside. The witness opened the camper door expecting a bear and saw a large dark upright shape about forty feet away moving swiftly into the timber. The camper shook strongly as the animal left while nearby dogs barked. In the morning no tracks were found and they could not recreate the shaking.

Possible vocalization heard near Hoop Lake

The witness and three family members stopped their ATVs on a mountain shoulder overlooking a meadow and forest. After the witness twice imitated alleged sasquatch vocalizations, something answered from the nearby forest. The group left quickly after a cow moose bolted from the trees while looking back. The witness noted the answering sound did not match familiar wildlife but remained unconvinced it was a sasquatch.

Campers Awaken to Unknown Vocalizations, Brush Popping and Foul Odor

About 2 a.m., dozens of campers were awakened by loud prolonged screams from the woods east of the campground. Six campers entered the woods with flashlights toward the sound about 200-300 ft from the perimeter, smelled a foul odor and heard loud brush movement and wood cracking, then retreated. The screams lasted 20-25 minutes total, fading to the east with a similar sound from the south, followed by coyotes howling.

The witness watched the treeline with binoculars for almost two hours but had no visual sighting.

Campers hear screams similar to Klamath recording

The witness was sleeping in a camper in a meadow when she was awakened in the early morning by a loud chilling yell heard at least twice. Horses tied near a nearby arena became agitated and vocal at the same time. She felt the sound matched a Bigfoot yell she later heard online, though her husband dismissed the idea.

Family hears strange sounds near West Point at dusk

A couple picnicking by a creek at dusk heard a loud howl from downstream with gibberish-like barking between howls, then an answering howl from the ridge behind them.

Outdoorsman hears vocalizations near Tinkham Campground

The witness was camping alone at Tinkham at last light when the woods fell completely silent. Loud, human-like whistles were then heard from multiple directions to the east, appearing to go back and forth for about a minute before stopping abruptly with a branch snap. Occasional branch-crunch sounds continued nearby for about an hour while the witness stayed at the fire, then slept in the truck without feeling threatened.

Vocalizations heard and animal observed near Hibbing

The husband got up early and heard an unfamiliar calling sound, so he went outside to get mail and look for the source. Near his car he saw a fur-covered bipedal figure about 50 feet away in pines, watched it briefly, then it noticed him and ran toward the woods and field. He later found large pressed-down footprints in grass, and the spouse's father found scat in the same area said to differ from deer or bear.

Footsteps heard, large figure seen by camper

Five people were camped for two nights over a July 4th weekend. On the second night after sleep began, three campers reported disturbances around the tents. The reporter heard crunching footsteps nearby without hearing anyone exit a tent, a companion heard similar sounds and saw a large figure move away from another tent into darkness, and the occupant of that tent heard movement and felt something press against the tent. The group compared accounts the next day after leaving and did no evidence search.

Witness and his girlfriend hear strange sounds near Magnetawan

The witness was camping with a companion and the companion's parents in northern Ontario. Around 9-10 pm as it grew dark, the group heard a loud, clear vocalization first thought to be a wolf or coyote but then judged to be neither. The sound continued for an extended period. The next day the witness compared wildlife recordings and found a BFRO howl recording to be the closest match, though quieter than what was heard.
