Man retells his close, visual encounter at dawn on Pine Mountain as a young deer hunter
The witness, deer hunting at dawn from a ground position below a relative, watched a tall hair-covered biped step into a fire lane, pause and look toward the witness after hearing the witness speak, then cross and wait in brush before leaving downhill. The witness later found large barefoot-like tracks and noticed a strong foul odor at the crossing site. The witness did not shoot and initially told no one.
Sasquatch sighting near St. Anthony, Idaho (1940)
As a young teenager bringing cows across a canal near dark, the diarist saw a large bear-like figure standing on hind feet by a sapling 600-700 feet away and felt intense chill. Cows were undisturbed and his father was unconcerned. Next morning with his friend [name withheld] he found a huge bare footprint in wet mud under the sapling, estimated 8.5-9 feet tall using [name withheld]'s height, and nearby found a stick-bed with a strong repulsive odor.
A surveyor and trader for the Northwest Company comes across tracks of an unusually large, unidentified animal
A surveying party traveling through the Rocky Mountains in winter came upon a large, well-defined track in shallow snow on ice. The track was measured at about fourteen inches long by eight inches wide with four toe marks and was seen extending about a hundred yards from north to south. The party chose not to follow it, with companions unwilling to pursue such a large animal with small guns, and the party leader recorded uncertainty whether it was an unusually large bear or something else.
Possible snow tracks found in Skagit Valley south of Hope (w/photos)
The witness reported finding very large footprint-like tracks in melting snow on a road south of Hope, B.C., with an unusually long stride. The snow had melted to gravel within the outlines, but the shape looked more like a footprint than a boot print. The witness returned home for a camera and yardstick to document track size and spacing and shared photos to ask whether they could be Bigfoot tracks.
Tracks near Sunnyslope, Washington
After a newspaper story ran, a retired couple reported odd tracks in their backyard less than half a mile from where the first trackway was lost. The trail showed a 13-foot step, then several 6-foot steps, then 10-foot steps near a motion light, then sidestepping and side-by-side prints with a drag mark off a wall. The investigator measured and filmed them and could not find continuation in neighboring yards.
Sasquatch sighting in Tennessee
The father took his sons and dogs to swim in park pools when they smelled raw sewage and a pine tree broke into three pieces about 100 yards away. The father saw a figure moving between trees and then a tall creature about 40 feet away walking away across the parking area. They heard repeated loud grunts and later whoop calls and left quickly.
Sasquatch sighting near Boonville, Mississippi
While living in a rural rental house, the witness realized Sasquatch-like creatures were coming around trying to get his puppies.

Sasquatch sighting near Lake Quinault, Washington
While setting out food one evening after a tree fell, the guest heard something large approach fast and saw two red eyes facing him. He recorded about five minutes as it looked at him and toward loud brush-tearing nearby, its eyes shifting color in the light. It later peeked from behind a tree about ten feet away before withdrawing. Next morning he found a track and a freshly split tree where it stood.
Sasquatch sighting near Ashford, Washington
Driving home at night after a Fourth of July visit, the witness first saw a tall figure cross the highway and then pass within 8 to 12 feet as it pushed a branch aside under a vapor light. He braked hard, stalled, and left without approaching. Next day he and his sister-in-law measured the branch at 10 feet at the jaw and followed heel-drag scuffs and heel prints toward dark timber.
Unidentified sound in Texas
While setting up a deer stand with his father and son about 100 yards from the truck, the witness heard a huge gyro-like startup sound rise to a high-pitched hum then stop. Returning to the truck they found precise hieroglyphic-like marks in the dust and a small handprint with very long fingers on the door edge. Nearby in an acre-sized opening they found three equally spaced triangle-arranged ground indentations.
Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky
A few days later the witness was counting cattle in the morning when he noticed a huge upright figure between a barn and a tree across the field. The figure grunted, swiped and broke a large branch, then walked away. The witness later returned with others and estimated the branch height at about eight to nine feet.
Partial sighting in Kentucky
The younger son came from outside saying a face had appeared on the hill by the fence and then was gone. After the father returned from work the family inspected the spot and found a large foot-shaped impression in tall grass, an area of flattened grass behind the fence, and a plain trail leading up the hill into the woods.
Tracks in Virginia
While retrieving her puppy in daylight, the guest carried him back through the lower side yard and found many footprints in mud of four distinct sizes, some two inches deep, showing toe ridges. She powdered and photographed them, measured examples about seventeen by nine inches and thirteen by eight inches with a sixty-three-inch stride in one running sequence, and made three plaster casts despite inexperience.
Tracks near Sunnyslope, Washington
The researcher spent five days documenting a trackway in snow that would soon melt. He photographed and videotaped the prints and recorded step length, stride, width, length, depth and surrounding conditions. The work was presented as an example of thorough track documentation.
Tracks in Texas
The guest and his research partner examined a fallen tree that looked torn apart with wood chunks scattered, suggesting foraging. They then noticed a very large human-like footprint in mud with toe and heel impressions, plus a smaller human-like track nearby. He said the find convinced him the area had genuine activity.
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.
Sasquatch sighting near Sulphur
The witness set a stocked tent and table at a campground campsite then hid with blankets over the truck windows to appear absent. After hearing trash lids, stick-dragging, post taps, a wood knock and owl-like hoots, two bipeds approached the truck and rummaged in the bed, clanking propane tanks. Later another pair ate melons at the table, and morning light revealed scuffs, an overturned generator, missing tanks, a handprint and bitten fruit.
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.
Man has interesting experiences outside of La Porte
During extended thesis fieldwork in remote mountain country, the witness found a set of human-like footprints in fine silt on a meander of Upper Slate Creek, noting dermal ridges, five even-length toes, a square shape and no instep, with a 20-inch stride noted in follow-up. Three pieces of mottled brown feces with a faint odor were found with the prints. No creature was seen and no other person was present for this find.
