The next day they found pushed-over bushes and freshly broken branches.

27 February 2016 Hollis, York County, Maine Class B #51991

Possible track way found in the snow hear Hollis

The witness reported finding large human-like footprints in snow on an infrequently used vehicle trail at the edge of woods, with another similar print later seen beside a dirt road, and noted bent trees in the area over the course of a year. He estimated the prints were about one and a half times the size of his own foot and interpreted them as those of a juvenile Bigfoot. An investigator later visited the site with him, observed odd tree manipulations, reviewed his photos, and described him as credible.

Appalachian Trail Hikers find possible tracks and hear a late night howl near Franklin

They photographed the prints and noted a bloody stick but did not keep it.

Campers have possible encounter while staying in High Point State Park

Two brothers camped overnight beside a lake in the park. During the night and again after dawn they repeatedly heard a loud aggressive exhale-like sound nearby, along with footsteps and branches breaking as something moved through the forest, followed by scream-like sounds that turned into chatter. In daylight they found a matted vegetation bed, a fresh flattened trail, and footprints in mud where the sounds had come from. The entity itself was never seen.

While hiking alone in the morning near the river where the earlier sighting occurred, the witness found a single large bare footprint much larger than his own boot. About twenty feet away he found two green trees of substantial size twisted and snapped off near ground level. He theorized the deep single print was a push-off foot before jumping into a nearby dry ravine.
