Possible vocalizations heard at sundown near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon

The witness and seven relatives camped for several nights on a hunting trip and heard repeated double whoop vocalizations each evening from dusk until just after dark. The sounds came from ridges around camp, with a regular source to the west and additional answering sources to the southeast and north on later nights. The witness said the sounds resembled examples on the archive site and were unlike familiar animal sounds of the region.

Couple experiences vocalizations in Bradshaw Mountains and group detects odor while camping by Mogollon Rim.

The witness and their then-spouse were sleeping in a tent at a camp in the Bradshaw Mountains when they were awakened by high-pitched calls coming from both a ridge above camp and a slope below. They listened for about half an hour as the two sources called back and forth and shifted position, then retreated to their truck after hearing rocks trickle down the slope, hearing the sounds move north before dawn. In the morning the witness saw a trail crossing the campsite, and years later both the witness and the former spouse said the sounds matched a published recording labeled 'Scream.'

August 1989 Tsaile, Apache County, Arizona Class B #13548

Possible vocalization heard in the Chuska Mountains, NE Arizona

Two forestry workers finishing a pre-dawn spotted owl survey heard a loud, deep yell lasting about five seconds from a canyon below them. The sound echoed through the canyon and struck both as too deep and sustained to be human. They saw no animal and later wondered if the source was responding to their imitated owl calls.

1979–1982 Fort Defiance, Apache County, Arizona Class B #846

During his youth, this First Generation American heard several unusual sounds, on two different occasions

In mid-winter 1979, the witness and about five other children were playing outside in snow around midnight during a heavy snowfall on the Navajo reservation in northeastern Arizona. From the darkness they heard a loud terrible screaming mixed with roaring that continued on and off for about 15 minutes. No creature was seen. The witness later concluded the sound must have been a Bigfoot, noting it matched published recordings and local stories of sheep thefts.

Sasquatch sighting in Arizona (1976)

The witness was riding in a truck with family members to a familiar camping area when they came around a corner and saw a creature drinking at a pool. It first moved on all fours with its hindquarters raised and walking sideways while watching them, then stood and ran on two legs leaning forward with no arm swing and a smooth gliding motion. The father stopped, got out and fired several pistol shots as it fled around a bend, after which it gave a loud roar or scream. The group continued to camp for three days, during which the father remained nervous and jumped up armed during the night.

No other voices or explanation were heard on parabolic equipment. The sound seemed to move through trees from one direction to behind them within minutes.

The animal was in view only a few seconds before disappearing into thick woods.
