2022 Hot Springs, North Carolina #63170ee6-6148-46f1-b490-292dde8cc477

Structure or nest near Hot Springs, North Carolina (2022)

The witness parked by a gated abandoned road and walked about a mile, then left the road to inspect tire marks. He found teepee-like stick structures, snapped saplings he could not break, and downed trees funneling movement into a wash. Birds went silent, loud tongue-clicking surrounded him with an answering whistle, and objects sounding like rocks were thrown as he left. From a field with a large quartz rock he saw a dark shape in a distant tree.

Sasquatch sighting near Fletcher, North Carolina (2013)

The witness drove up late to visit a woman friend and they hiked to her cleared spot in the woods to sleep out. While talking about implants, they heard heavy bipedal footsteps approach down the trail, saw a huge looming figure, shouted for identification with no response, and it charged to within 10-12 feet before veering downhill. They shone headlamps where it stopped, saw nothing, felt watched, then retreated backward to the parking lot and listened in silence.

Veteran is surprised at home by a large night visitor near Archdale

Shortly after midnight the witness walked past his front door on the way to the bathroom and noticed a tall, hair-covered figure standing at the bottom of his front steps. He estimated it at about 8 feet tall and as wide as his steps, with long arms and no visible neck or facial features. He turned to grab a camera but the figure was gone when he looked back, and he saw nothing when he opened the door and turned on the porch light. Shortly afterward he heard repeated deep rumbling sounds described as like thunder from inside the house.

Sasquatch sighting near Highlands, North Carolina (2011)

The witness hiked out to a granite face after work and headed back at dusk through dense overgrown trail along a dry creek. Something large and heavy sprinted on all fours from behind him, blurred past, crossed the creek and stopped silently. He felt watched, left quickly, and later jokingly told his wife he ran into a giant wolf.

Possible pre-dawn approach to property outside Winston-Salem

The dog alerted toward the treeline, then the witness heard a loud howl and wood-on-wood sounds very close and glimpsed a figure by a tree. After going back inside and leaving again, the witness heard footsteps in the dark and saw a huge dark upright figure moving along the fence and driveway by a pond, later noticing a foul odor and disturbed leaves in the area.

October 1982 Elizabeth City, Pasquotank County, North Carolina Class A #3335

Deer hunter witnesses a large, gorilla like animal

The witness, a teenager on a deer-hunting trip on private wooded land in North Carolina, was waiting in a tree stand in the morning when he noticed a strong bad odor and then heard twigs snapping. He watched the upper half of a large dark-furred creature about 50 yards away standing in one spot eating leaves for several minutes before it walked away while still audible. When companions arrived he recounted the sighting and they suggested it was a bear, which he rejected because he had seen a bear earlier that day.

October 1965 Hubert, Onslow County, North Carolina Class A #1939

Youth's presence startles unknown animal

As a teenager cutting through dense swampy woods on a military reservation, the witness noticed the forest go silent and felt watched. He saw a brown, long-haired form that rose to an estimated 8-10 feet and crashed rapidly through thick brush. He remained frozen until normal forest sounds returned, then left and never returned to the area.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina (1957)

The witness, then about 12, was hunting squirrels alone in the woods behind his childhood home. After crossing a creek bridge into thick regrowth he heard rhythmic leaf-rustling and pushed through brush to within a few feet of a very large cinnamon-brown hairy animal lying flat asleep. He watched its breathing move leaves, could see only its back with legs tucked under, then backed out fearing it was a bull and told no one for decades.

Sasquatch sighting near Cherokee, North Carolina

The guest described being a young child playing on the living room floor in the evening while both parents were in the same room. A hairy creature came to the window, slammed its hands on either side, and pressed its face to the glass. The father seized a muzzleloader and went outside, where he and the creature exchanged loud roars for about twenty minutes before it left.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

After moving in, the couple heard whistles, whoops, footsteps and had pebbles thrown, with trail cameras failing. On a cold night about a year ago they sat quietly with lights off, heard a group approach talking, then lit them with flashlights. They describe one tall figure by a deck, one smaller figure lying prone that blinked, others peeking from trees, and others slapping buildings as a distraction before all left down a ridge.

Sasquatch sighting near Hendersonville, North Carolina

Four people camped in a van by the lake and walked up a logging trail with torches. The dog ran ahead and fled yelping to the house. Something gray and bulky crossed the trail, then something crashed from the trees, blew out the torch, and loomed over them as a dark mass with outstretched arms. They fled to the van, later heard something walking around and scratching the van, and next morning found scratch marks through paint.

the morning after evening shot of deformed buck North Carolina #b51f7e7c-1e8a-4f98-baae-45f0c86c5183

Growl in North Carolina

After evening-shooting a large deformed buck that ran into the woods, the guest returned at dawn and crawled into a low briar tunnel to follow blood. A tremendous growl vibrated through him, heavy stomping approached, and a towering shadow loomed over his back with visible flexing fingers. He talked calmly while backing out, then fled. Two days later he found only the deer's ripped-off head with crumbling bone.

While culling deer after his grandfather died, the guest sat on a stump and twice saw a big black shape swaying behind a small tree. On the second sit a squirrel erupted loudly to one side with sounds like hand-slapping mimicry while the shape appeared closer, prompting him to leave the woods.
