Whistle in Alberta

A research group camped at a remote river location and stayed up late around a fire to invite attention. On about the fifth night whistling calls, heavy movement through brush, and a loud branch break approached camp. The witness watched through a night-vision monocular as a large silhouette crossed a road with a smooth gliding gait, and the group later found disturbed ground and footprints that were tracked for about a mile.

Woman describes night time sighting during childhood in the Pike National Forest

While camping and sleeping in a camper trailer with family and companions, the young witness awoke at night to loud heavy breathing outside her window and indistinct chatter-like sounds moving along the window. She pulled back the curtain and saw a dark-skinned partial face with brown eyes inches away staring in. The sounds stopped shortly after, and the next morning the adults found apples and potatoes missing from the back of the truck.

While burning cardboard at a barrel with friends, the group watched an orange lantern-like light maneuver sharply, shift color, shrink away and blink out. Immediately after, a loud roar and crashing moved up and down the adjacent woods. The group extinguished the fire and ran inside; town friends called it a cow, which the witness rejects.

The young witness and a friend finished fishing class and walked a short way down a trail to look toward another fishing spot. They heard a third set of footsteps that stopped when they stopped and called out with no answer.

Sasquatch sighting in Massachusetts

The witness, an HVAC apprentice, waited alone in the back of a work van at a rural house in western Massachusetts while his coworker stepped away and a boiler timer ran. He heard faint breathing and a light tap on the van, then saw a very tall dark figure hunched to peer through a 3-4 inch gap in the rear door and locked eyes with it for several seconds. The eye appeared pitch black then briefly glowed white-gray, apparently reflecting the coworker's headlamp, before a loud boiler boom startled the figure. It fled in three loud steps across gravel, grass and leaves that both men heard, left a sour wet-towel odor, and the elderly homeowner responded that local animals are friendly.

While glassing with a companion days before elk season, the witness heard a loud cow-like calling Howl from a steep creek bottom. The sound moved to the ridge top in about five to ten minutes, far faster than he felt a person could climb. It stopped at the top and was not identified as elk or bear.
