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.

Whoop near Gilmington, New Hampshire
A couple years later the guest and his daughter's mother were having a fire in their front yard.

Vocalization in New York
Later while living in the same house, the witness lay in bed on a summer night with windows open. A strange vocalization was heard that resembled a deer call blended with a peacock-like cry but sounded wrong and voiced in an unnatural way. The sound caused a strong fear response.
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.
Howl
The witness was with a fishing partner and spouse at a boat ramp in heavy fog in the early morning. They heard a loud distant howl-scream twice, the second sounding closer, while nearby dogs reacted. They stopped and stared at each other, frightened. They quickly launched the boat and left.
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.
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.
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.

Three children have daytime sighting near Eureka
As children, the witness and two companions were fishing and walked up an old logging road when they heard a noise and saw a creature across the road in the trees.

Family finds large footprints and hears strange sounds near Pollock Pines
During a family walk on a mountain logging trail in the late 1970s, the group heard branches breaking around them. Near a recently fallen tree they found a wet blood-like substance on the log and a very large fresh human-like footprint that dwarfed an adult man's boot. The group quickly left the area and returned toward the cabin.

Man describes history of incidents around his home outside Stanwood
In October 2006 on a dark evening, a relative was warming up and moving a car in the witness's front yard when the headlights revealed a tall bipedal creature with red eyes standing by a maple tree and rocking.

A later retracing indicated the water was a large culvert under the main road leading toward an undeveloped green belt.
