Man has late night sighting near Twain Harte

After midnight the witness, sleeping in a cabin bedroom, was awakened by vibration and the sense of someone walking on the porch. Looking toward the porch light through a window about twenty feet away, the witness watched a hair-covered figure with its back turned, which then turned, looked toward the window and leaned to peer inside before jumping off the six- to eight-foot-high porch. The witness kept watching in fear and did not tell others or search for traces in the morning.

Possible bigfoot activity near Walker County line.

Four nocturnal hikers get pelted with snow near Anchorage

The witness and three companions took a late-night winter walk on game and recreational trails in the woods. On the way back they heard footsteps and branches breaking around them and something repeatedly threw snow or hard snow clods at them, while dogs barked nearby and a rank carcass-like odor was noticed. They jogged most of the way out, leaving around 3-3:30 a.m., and the witness believed deep snow ruled out a prank by a person.

Campers Hear Unusual Evening Sounds

Two campers spent a rainy night at a campground after noticing a skunk-like odor on arrival. Through the night they heard ape-like hoots, single-note whistles, repeated wood-on-wood whacks from several directions, heavy two-legged footsteps, and nearby rockslides. They saw nothing in the dark and left the next morning, noting the steep bowl-shaped hillside could carry sounds from far uphill.

While taking dog outside witness sees large bipedal shadow next to his shed

Late on a winter night the witness took the dog outside and saw a large hair-covered figure standing near a small building about 20-25 feet away.

After briefly looking away at a noise, the witness went inside for a handgun, and on returning the figure was gone though sounds remained in the woods. A large footprint was found the next day.

Unusual call silenced coyotes, frightened dog

On November 5, 2003 at about 9:30 p.m., the witness was outside with her dog at her home near the base of a mountain when she heard a loud, long drawn-out human-like 'ahhhh' sound from across the field. Coyotes that had been howling stopped for about 30 minutes and later resumed from a different location, and her large dog tucked its tail and ran home. The witness did not see the source, did not recognize it as any known wildlife, and said she felt it may have been a Sasquatch.

Sighting by elk hunter

While tracking elk into timber beside a clearcut, the witness felt watched and noticed silence, then saw a bear run off.

The standoff involved limbs and dirt clods thrown toward the witness, grunting, crying and woofing sounds, and brush movement suggesting a charge. The witness fired two shots into the air, ran to the road, and heard crashing moving down a ravine.

Loud, unseen animal torments deer hunter two days in a row

On the second morning approach, something was heard walking alongside in the brush and a close growl was heard near the stand before the noises resumed at daybreak. Nothing was ever seen and no tracks were found.

Footsteps near Estacada, Oregon (2003)

The witness stayed alone overnight in an unfinished cabin he had helped build for a friend's project. During the night he was awakened by an approaching barking dog and heavy vibrations shaking the structure, followed by dragging sounds along the wall and breathing at the open sliding door. By morning he found a large oily handprint on the glass and discovered the dog hiding beneath the cabin. He interpreted the events as a Sasquatch passing through the site in pursuit of or pursued by the dog.

Resident hears screams regularly

About a week after reported daylight sightings near Decatur, the witness sat on the back porch at home and heard an extremely loud, unfamiliar screaming vocalization from the hollow and creek bed below. The sound moved rapidly from left to front to right over about 30 minutes and continued after a short break, with dogs barking widely, and remained audible from inside the house. Around 9:30 the nearby screaming continued and a second distant vocalization answered, at which point the witness, being alone, went inside.
