March 2007 Mississippi #4418ad4c-0a84-423b-854b-7f180f281c36

Sasquatch sighting in Mississippi (2007)

The witness arrived early to turkey hunt from a prepared clearing on land he had leased for years. After calling for about two hours he watched approaching turkeys suddenly flee, then heard slow bipedal footsteps in the creek bottom. A dark figure he first mistook for a person approached to about eighty feet, grabbed a pine, vocalized angrily with language-like sounds and growls, displayed teeth, rocked and shook the tree, then walked away and gave a loud abrupt yell. The witness waited before leaving on foot, heard a loud fresh tree break, ran to his four-wheeler, left, then returned with a rifle to watch the treeline.

Possible approach to campers near Spring Creek Pass in the San Juan Mountains

A couple stopped at sunset in a pullout beside a stream to eat and fish for the night. The witness heard loud crashing in brush near the truck, faint low growls from across the road, and later loud splashing from a drainage, while the companion reported finding very large, deep footprints in mud by the stream. Neither saw the source of the sounds or tracks, and they left the area feeling something large had stayed hidden nearby.

The tracks were photographed the following day after warm weather had largely melted them, and the photos were later judged too indistinct to include.

Loud, unseen animal torments deer hunter two days in a row

The source stayed in the woods just outside the cabin floodlights, and deep grunting or breathing was heard after the thrashing stopped.

Campers hear vocalizations and find possible prints near Skookum Meadow

Three coworkers camped at Tillicum campsite and hiked toward Skookum Meadow looking for signs.

The next day on a deer trail off Trail 21 they noticed several vague human-like footprints in firm ground but took no casts or photos. Weeks later the reporter felt the night sounds matched supposed vocalizations heard on a television special.

Howl near Orick, California (2001)

The witness went to the clearing and made loud calls, then heard a howl turn into a roar approaching for about 40 minutes. Two or three unseen individuals roared, knocked, broke a treetop, circled, bluff-charged the tree stand, and growled close behind him with strong physical effects and a perceived mental threat. He fled to his truck, found his dog hiding, got briefly stuck while turning around, heard pursuit downhill, and drove to a mill and bars seeking a witness.
