Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee

Shortly after moving to a remote farm the witness heard whistles, door tapping and property disturbances. Waking with a sense of danger she shone a spotlight to the creek and watched a very tall muscular hairy figure stand, display large hands and scream for 30-40 seconds. The scream caused a physical ripple sensation and the family decided to move.

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.

Vocalization in North Carolina

Throughout childhood the family experienced constant strange activity on the farm including murmuring voices, something calling names in the mother's voice, rocks thrown into the pond while night fishing, hammer-like knocks, whoops, nightly crashing like a falling tree that never hit ground, and moving smells. Visitors felt watched and refused to return.

Scream

The witness describes ongoing activity at a hunting lease including screams, deer disappearing in mid-November to mid-December, and broken trees. A trackway across a drying pond was found with a long stride and one print was cast. Game cameras captured images and a height estimate was made by measuring at the site. A hunting partner also reported hearing multiple trees snap and feeling compelled to leave, with breaks later found several feet high.

Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana

The witness, then a child, was wading a shallow creek fishing while the older cousin fished separately. The witness heard bipedal splashes and watched a huge hair-covered human-like figure cross the creek, climb the high bank, and eat fish from the stringer. The figure looked back and forth between the witness and the approaching cousin, then took the stringer and left the way it came. The cousin called it by a local name, said it was a Bigfoot, and made the witness swear never to mention it.

Vocalization in Kansas

While walking near a creek the witness heard something wading bipedally through water and making a lip-rattling sound similar to one the witness often makes. The witness tried to parallel it to see through an opening but only caught a brief flash of light auburn hair. After circling, the witness found a wet step on a root and bark pulled back where something appeared to have climbed out, but saw nothing further.

Campers have sighting above Pinecrest

A group camping with horses heard the horses startle something at dusk and then saw a huge brown figure about 6 feet tall running extremely fast across a meadow away from the horses in a cloud of dust. One tethered horse was so frightened it jumped over another horse. The witness concluded the figure could not have been a bear because of the sound it made and the way it ran.

BFRO YEAR: late 70's Happy Camp, Siskiyou County, California Class B #13839

Possible vocals heard by family camping near Happy Camp

A family camping in a primitive riverside area heard an extremely loud, shrill scream from near their trash area about 50 yards away after paper bags flared up the campfire. The sound moved rapidly downriver for several minutes, fading to a deep growl, while the adult dogs whimpered and the family became terrified. The father packed up camp that night and drove the family home, and the family later felt the sound matched a purported Sasquatch vocalization heard on television.

Man recalls adversarial encounter with an unknown creature near French Gulch

During midnight rounds at an isolated school compound, the witness crossed a suspension bridge and heard something raiding trash cans by the cookhouse. He threw rocks toward a large dark figure under the eaves, which stood erect, stepped onto the bridge, dodged thrown rocks, vaulted the bridge cables and fled upstream on two legs. He noted glowing eyes and a foul stench, then returned to his trailer without anyone else responding.

BFRO YEAR: 1987-89 Manton, Shasta County, California Class B #69291

Possible "Ohio howls" south of Shingletown (midway between Redding and Lassen)

While living at Manton from 1987-1989, the witness's family repeatedly heard strange howls in the evening 2-3 times a week. The sound was thought at the time to come from the cleared swath up the hill along the penstock or powerlines. Years later the witness and family heard the Ohio howl recording and judged it exactly the same sound.

Daytime sightings by Forest Service employee near Arroyo Seco

The witness stopped to rest during an early-morning fitness run near a lake area when he heard movement on a shaded, brush-covered hillside. About 20 feet away he saw a roughly 8-foot-tall upright figure that turned its upper body to stare at him before walking quickly uphill and out of sight. Shade prevented him from seeing facial details. He returned to the station convinced the figure was not human.

Possible growling at hikers near the San Gabriel Wilderness

About 15 years before reporting, the witness and a friend paused at a saddle near Smith Mountain while hiking. They heard a very low growl/snuffling sound from tall bushes nearby that they could not see through. Frightened, they left quickly without investigating, and the witness later wondered about the source after seeing nearby reports.
