Footsteps in Louisiana

On his first trip to the Louisiana area the guest sat all night in a tripod stand over a clear-cut meadow on a fence line. About midnight he heard heavy bipedal footsteps approach from behind without a light, then cross a barbed-wire fence. Loud clicking began and was answered from both sides as the animals moved away through brush.

Unidentified sound in Louisiana

Several months to a year later the guest hunted overnight from a high climbing stand in the same Louisiana bottoms, about a few hundred yards away. The woods stayed unusually silent until about 3 or 4 a.m., when he heard what sounded like rain in one spot under clear skies. He later concluded an animal above him in another tree had urinated.

Wood knock in Oregon

Two companions camping with minimal supplies at a remote lake heard faint knocking, cracking, and chatter-like voices in the evening, followed by a whoop, with elk bugles also audible. At the time they reasoned it might be other people, but years later after hearing similar sounds described as associated with large hairy beings, one concluded it may have been such beings.

Whistle near Owensboro, Kentucky

The woods went silent before heavy footsteps that could be felt, grunting sounds, and two large trees falling without wind occurred. The pair left early without seeing the source.

Tracks in Oregon

Earlier in the same season the group was camped overnight in a basin while elk hunting. Something circled the camp at night and frightened guard dogs that normally showed no fear. The next day the men followed large barefoot tracks with very long strides and a damaged toe from behind the camp to a canyon.

Scream in Missouri

The witness and his dog were hunting near a lake in the afternoon when the dog alerted on a huge thorn thicket. A loud scream-roar came from the brush, and the witness fired multiple shotgun loads into the shaking vegetation. A huge dark figure then ran off on all fours, breaking small trees while screaming in apparent pain, and the witness fled.

Years later the friend's parents, who had previously mocked the story, told him they heard the same sound at night. They were in their new house on a hill with windows open when it occurred. They said they would no longer make fun of the account.

Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky

A few days later the witness was counting cattle in the morning when he noticed a huge upright figure between a barn and a tree across the field.

Vocalization in Kentucky

Two friends camped in woods near their homes over several nights. At night they repeatedly heard a loud, strange vocalization that seemed to approach the tent and vibrate in their chests, accompanied by a strong rancid odor. They searched with flashlights, found nothing, and fled to a parent's house.

After the road sighting the witness continued to a flooded creek to set duck decoys. He heard unusually loud and persistent hog-like squeals circling at a constant distance, then the woods went silent and a very loud, long scream directed at him caused intense fear. He abandoned his decoys and ran to his truck and later told a friend he thought he had seen Bigfoot.

The guest brought his wife to the aggressive area. Walking out, a deafening scream knocked his wife down, heard only by them though three others were nearby. She wanted to leave but stayed. That night things walked around, opened a cooler, and at 5 a.m. dropped rebar with a clang and fled.

Around 2 a.m. the guest heard clicking and movement around tents and vehicles. After hours of activity, something lifted a Dutch oven lid, charged 30 feet, pushed a fist through his tent window and then pushed its face inches from his. He held a pistol, heard a voice telling him to kick his legs, did so, and the group left chirping. Urine, prints and handprints were found.
