Vocalization in Texas (2020)

Over about four years the household noticed odd sounds, smells and disturbances around their wooded Texas property. They heard voice-like calls, hoots, growls and repeated wood knocks, found scat, stripped and snapped trees, and missing bait. A wide bare footprint with a deep heel was later found in a raised garden bed after crops were taken, though neither person ever saw an animal.

Partial sighting in Kentucky (2020)

The teenage son was watching police lights from a car in the driveway late at night and turned to see a human-like shape peeking over a hedge by a fence. He brought his mother out with a weak flashlight and both saw the shape looking at them in moonlight. The next day they found all grass smashed where it stood and a path leading up into the woods with no trail toward the house or road.

Tracks in Virginia (2020)

The witness was cleaning and preparing an auction site in the mountains when large barefoot tracks were found that dwarfed the witness's own foot. A few days later around midday a massive dark bipedal figure was seen leaning from behind a tree, was photographed, then left with heavy steps and a foul smell as the phone camera failed. That evening and the next night loud echoing vocalizations and loud bird-like whistles were heard while deer disappeared and the woods went silent.

Dogman sighting in Michigan (2019)

The witness, a wildlife biologist, was deer hunting at dawn on his forested property when a jet-black canid-like animal stalked toward him. He fired a .45 at its head with no apparent effect, then yelled, after which it rose bipedally to about seven feet with a broad chest and long thin arms. He fired twice more into its chest, it sank back to all fours and retreated, leaving only uncastable imprints and no blood or bullets found later.

Campers describe sounds, rock throwing and brief sighting at dark near Wind River Work Center outside Carson

Four campers spending the night near a creek reported hearing aggressive vocalizations described as a mix of whoops and screams, then seeing the silhouette of a very tall figure with a wide torso about fifteen feet away. They retreated to their truck before setting up camp, and later that night heard a deep whistle, crunching footsteps, pebbles hitting tents, and a branch breaking, along with a foul odor while a small dog growled. By morning a chair was found knocked over, but no tracks were located on the rocky ground.

Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2019)

The same group returned a week later with daylight fading. They saw a basketball-sized bluish-white orb moving through trees, then on a moonlit road walk one witness saw a gray upright figure dart across the road in one or two steps. Back at the vehicle they found another greasy handprint, played vocalizations that were mimicked from very close behind them, and later heard faint distant whoops.

Handprint in Washington (2019)

Four men camped at a remote primitive site in rain and walked a forest road at night. Later back home they found a van vent window broken with glass on roof and gear, plus a large handprint with visible dermal ridges on rear glass that dwarfed a man's hand. Nothing was taken from the locked van, and they believed something approached while they were away.

Daylight sighting of a Bigfoot near N. Branch Lamoille River in Eden

On a sunny morning the witness stepped onto the deck to check on a barking dog and watched a black two-legged human-like figure walk past the end of the driveway for about 12 seconds until it disappeared behind trees. The figure was described as hunching then straightening, with long swinging arms and its head turned away. Later that day the witness found bent weeds and faint barefoot-like depressions where the figure had reportedly come from the woods.

Campers hear loud deep howls near Lake Texoma

Four campers sitting around a campfire at night heard two deep howls from the south, then a higher-pitched howl from the northwest, followed about 20 minutes later by a close whoop. Through the night they also heard brush breaking, grunts around 1 a.m., and noticed a slight odor. A morning search found nothing solid, though exploration toward the first vocalizations reportedly revealed a freshly snapped elevated branch.

About 45 minutes later the witness returned to the spot with another hiker and found handprints and footprints in the snow and photographed them. No further sighting occurred after traversing the difficult slope.

Tree break in Missouri (2019)

A couple camping alone heard a tree fall, paired tree knocks, grunts, and a growl during the day and evening. After midnight, heavy human-like footsteps circled their tent and campfire, left, returned, then moved off as vehicle lights were flashed. They left the tent for their vehicle and learned the landowner's trail camera captured an orb light that same night.

Tracks in Washington (2019)

On return visits to the same trail, the witness and companions left recorders and apples placed high, found large sideways hillside steps with no deer or elk tracks, and later were told recorders captured bipedal activity hours after they left. On a later off-trail visit they found odd tree structures and a 14-inch by 4-inch track, plus a partial track on another visit. About a month before the show he heard a double chest-thump sound while exiting.

After a loud limb snap behind him, he knocked loudly on a tree and heard something bipedal rush toward him making loud huffing and dinosaur-like sounds. He stood, saw nothing in the brush despite the closeness of the sounds, then walked out with bear spray.
