Winter 2017 Pinetta, Madison County, Florida Class B #63827

Multiple vocalizations and strange activity observed on rural north Florida property

The witness reported repeated unexplained sounds and smells over several years while living on a large wooded and pasture property. He described loud yells or screams at dusk, growls and bird-like chirps after midnight, occasional heavy stomping, and recurring foul odors. He also found a knotted strap with ribbon on a stump and noted grass mounds and stacked limbs in the woods. He never saw an animal directly and only later considered a Bigfoot explanation after discussion with a relative.

Rock throwing near Pikeville, Kentucky (2017)

While standing in the lit parking lot near the car to smoke, the witness had pebbles tossed precisely at the feet and heard occasional bird-like whistling. After throwing a large rock back, whistling erupted aggressively from a rocky hillside at the tree line where a flashlight showed nothing. The witness then heard heavy trudging and saw saplings shaking as something moved uphill to about two hundred feet within seconds.

Whoop in Washington (2017)

A couple days into a solo Olympic coast hike, the witness heard single whoops from close range near a point and again from a secluded beach. Later he followed a bear trail over a ridge where a dark creature came at him on all fours within 10 feet, then silently backed away without turning and hunkered down. That night bipedal footsteps approached his creek-side camp then retreated, and he felt urged to leave the next morning.

Wood knock in Virginia (2017)

While taking her older dog out overnight, the guest repeatedly heard a single loud knock like a bat hitting a tree as soon as she stepped onto the porch. On one outing she then heard a prolonged scream from the woods across the street that rose from low to a high-pitched shriek, frightening her enough to flee inside. When she later listened from her balcony the forest had gone completely silent.

Woman home alone north of Greenville claims unusual nightly visitor

On the night of April 18, 2020 the witness was at home when a dog began barking persistently and a loud guttural growl was heard at the back door, also noticed by a cat.

Looking from a guest-room window, she then watched a huge dark figure moving quickly across the neighbor's pasture to the northwest.

Tree break in New York (2017)

The witness and a companion spent three days fishing and camping at a remote lake. On calm nights trees fell near camp, and each dawn they heard rhythmic wood-on-wood pounding for nearly an hour. They saw a dark partial figure behind a lakeshore pine, heard a long piercing scream with fast hillside movement, heard distant talk-like sounds and short screams, and found a single large human-like footprint in mud on the way out. They also saw an orange light over the lake that split into smaller lights, followed later by jets overhead.

Armed staff held a perimeter until the woods fell silent and the air felt lighter, then broke camp at sunrise and left without ever seeing the source.

The guest spent the night in a deer blind on his sister's property to hunt for food. Around 2 a.m. he was awakened by extremely loud gorilla-like bellows, howls, and a snarling growl that seemed to vibrate through his body.

Hunter's whistles answered while digiscoping a Moose on Fort Hall Indian Reservation

While hunting in southeast Idaho in fall 2016, the witness was photographing a moose through a spotting scope and whistled to make it stop. Five high-pitched whistles came in immediate response from a brush patch, which the witness believed was not the moose. The witness then saw what looked like brown eyes in the brush where the moose had put its head down, and took grainy photos that showed nothing significant.
