Rock throwing in Arkansas (2006)

The witness and a companion were night fishing for bass around an island.

Chemical Engineer hears possible vocalizations while turkey hunting in the Lower Buffalo National Wilderness Area

The witness was camped alone beside the Buffalo River on a solo turkey hunt. At about 4:30 a.m. while eating breakfast at camp, the witness heard a loud whoop-like call from the mountainside to the southwest, followed within two seconds by an even louder similar call from across the river to the northwest. The witness judged the second sound was not an echo and interpreted the two calls as two Sasquatches communicating from roughly one-quarter to one-third mile away.

Vocalizations heard by multiple witnesses

Five people were talking in a boat on Beaver Lake late at night when coyotes began yipping and howling. Shortly after, a much lower and longer howl was heard from several hundred yards away and repeated two or three times. Two companions suggested a Husky-type dog, but the reporter felt it was deeper than coyotes or a Husky and believed it may have been a Bigfoot. No further sounds were heard afterward.

Vocalizations, heavy footsteps & tree shaking

The witness was standing in the yard at night when a hooting howl was heard from the treeline. Dogs ran toward the woods barking as brush and limbs thrashed along the edge and heavy thumping footsteps were heard.

The witness interpreted the sounds and movement as a sasquatch disturbed in the woods.
