Wood knock in Mississippi (2023)

While bow hunting on private family land, the guest heard repeated loud wood knocks all afternoon. Walking out after dark he heard a loud guttural growl, movement in brush, rapid chatter-like vocalizations, a human-like whistle on one side and a low hoof-like reply on the other. He walked quickly to meet his friend and left equipment to retrieve by truck.

Sasquatch sighting in Mississippi (2020)

The witness was deer hunting alone from an elevated stand off a power line in a state wildlife management area on a December afternoon. After hearing heavy breathing and movement, the witness observed a large black hairy human-like figure first on all fours then sitting and standing. The figure vocalized in gibberish-like speech, screamed, grunted, approached to about 30 yards and remained for an extended period before tearing vegetation and moving off. While the witness fled toward a truck, movement paralleled the witness in the woods while vocalizations continued behind, suggesting a second individual, and the witness fired a shot in the air before driving away.

Movement only in Mississippi (2005)

Unidentified sound near Collins, Mississippi (2000)

Over seven years hunting the same lease, the witness repeatedly heard loud crashing like a vehicle moving through woods that stopped at cover, rhythmic knocking like hammering heard day and night, careful footsteps around his blind with nothing visible, and children's voices playing in a creek bed that vanished when he investigated. He initially rationalized the sounds as deer, neighbors, or real children.
