Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky (2022)

In November 2022 the witness took a young child deer hunting and sat against a tree on a ridgeline at dawn. After hearing a loud baby-like cry and a heavy barreling sound down the cliff, the witness saw a large black-haired bipedal creature stop nearby, appear angry, then soften, gesture with its hands, back away, and leap up the cliff out of sight. The witness left with the child and later found large marks where the creature had climbed.

Possible bigfoot whoops heard 60 southeast of Duluth

Three companions were fishing quietly from a dock in the early morning darkness when they heard three extremely loud, deep whoops from nearby behind them. The sound was followed by a period of complete silence, then faint distant chatter described as like children from across the lake. They could see nothing in the dark and later found they could not reproduce the volume and depth of the whoops.

Wood knock in Arkansas (2022)

Later that day the pair camped on a narrow gravel bar and experienced harassment all night until first light. They heard tree knocks, a loud yell, singing, deep chatter, whistles, laughter, a log snapping behind the tents, and multiple rocks thrown from the ridge into the river. They set up lights, stayed armed, ran fire watches, partially broke camp to show intent to leave, then launched the kayaks at daylight as a final rock fell.

Vocalization in Arkansas (2022)

The witness and his son were kayaking and fishing on the Lower Buffalo River when they came around an obstruction near Big Creek. About 20 yards away something crashed through the woods like a bulldozer while making loud pissed-off monkey sounds. They laughed it off and discussed a bear as an explanation before continuing downstream to find a campsite.

Kayakers report camp intimidation all night long on Lower Buffalo River

Two campers floating and fishing the Lower Buffalo River heard loud monkey-like vocalizations from the bank and later camped on a gravel bar. Through the night they reported repeated wood knocks, yells, chatter, whistles, a tree snap, and cantaloupe-sized rocks landing in the river from the ridge across from camp. They lit the camp, kept fire watch in shifts, and at dawn packed and paddled out after a final rock fell in front of them.

Scream in Minnesota (2022)

The same night after the field encounter the witness returned to his nearly empty house. He heard knocking and banging on the house, found his previously locked sliding glass door cracked open, then heard the same scream echoing inside for an extended period. He barricaded himself in the bedroom overnight and found the door closed with no trace in the morning.

Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (2022)

The witness was plowing an isolated field while on the phone with his sister when he saw a large dark shape in the corn. He walked from the tractor toward it while filming, watched it stand bipedally well above the 7-8 foot corn, heard a loud rattling scream, was charged and chased back to the tractor, then watched it run back into the corn. He kept video of the distant figure and finished the field before leaving.

Campers kept awake by menacing vocalizations all night long 57 miles north of Bangor

The witness and a companion camped in a tent near a pond and listened through most of the night to repeated whoops, howls, whistles, gibberish-like chatter and rumbling from multiple directions across the water and woods. Later something splashed and charged in the water near the tent, followed by loud snorts, breathing, and footsteps on a nearby dirt road, while movement was heard between the tent and fire. The witness searched outside with a light and firearm but saw nothing, and the sounds stopped after dawn.

Vocalization near Susanville, California (2022)

The witness, spouse, and dog were camping and cooking at a campsite after dark. They heard hoot-like calls from below, then a loud growl-howl about 100 yards behind them lasting seconds, followed by answering howl-scream calls from two other directions. They judged the sounds unlike known local wildlife and indicating communication among several sources. The dog hid in the car and the couple packed up in the dark and drove home the same night.

RECENT (GOOD BET for a one-nighter): Whoops and knocks heard at Forlorn Lakes

The witness was sleeping in a tent at a remote campground when they awoke abruptly around 2 a.m. They heard several loud, low-pitched whoop-like grunts from a short distance behind the tent, apparently exchanged between two individuals. This was followed by several loud wood knocks that also seemed to be an exchange between two sources. After about an hour of silence the witness fell back asleep while companions remained asleep.

Fishern reports knocks and trees pushed over on lake near Greenwood

Over spring and summer 2022 the witness repeatedly visited a remote trout pond to fish from a canoe. During visits the witness heard multiple tree falls and many tree knocks without seeing the source, with activity increasing to a peak in mid-August. On a mid-August visit the witness found a birch section leaned against another tree at the water's edge that had not been noticed before and later found intact birch bark on rocks blocking the trail. The witness reported strange occurrences only while on the pond fishing, not while hiking in, out, or around.

Cryptid sighting in Arkansas (2022)

After moving back to Arkansas, the witness went for a solo afternoon hike on a waterfall trail in the Ozarks. The forest suddenly went completely silent and still, then he heard something pacing him in the thick woods. Looking back he filmed a pitch-black silhouette with a deer-like head and horn-like projections that was gone on his return, where vegetation was smashed flat. While bent over filming unusually large deer-like scat near the trail end, a loud close twig snap with nothing visible triggered intense fear, and he hurried to his truck and avoided the woods for about a year.

Later after target shooting, the witness heard loud yells from the east then north then west, including a high-pitched yell and a lion-like roar that approached the cabin. The armed group kept watch overnight and left together in the morning.
