July 2006 Princeton, Mercer County, West Virginia Class A #16890

Repeat visitations described near rural home outside Princeton

The witness was asleep at home when loud moaning and howling outside the open bedroom window woke her. The sounds shifted from distress-like cries to very deep angry growls. A pet dog barked from below, then something approached the garage area, growled deeply, and struck the building, after which the dog fell silent. The witness stayed in bed too frightened to look outside.

17 July 2004 Hibbing, St. Louis County, Minnesota Class A #9012

Vocalizations heard and animal observed near Hibbing

The husband got up early and heard an unfamiliar calling sound, so he went outside to get mail and look for the source. Near his car he saw a fur-covered bipedal figure about 50 feet away in pines, watched it briefly, then it noticed him and ran toward the woods and field. He later found large pressed-down footprints in grass, and the spouse's father found scat in the same area said to differ from deer or bear.

Two see 7- 8 Foot Creature on dead end road

Two companions stopped on an unused dead-end road late at night. While one waited in the truck with the high beams on, a tall brown man-shaped animal appeared in the light. It stood still for about a minute, made a grunt sound, then turned and walked away with an unusual swaggering gait. The pair left the area in reverse, frightened by what they saw.

William Roe account -- Highway worker has lengthy sighting at close range & records much detail

The witness hiked to a deserted mine on a mountain in the afternoon and encountered an upright hair-covered female creature at close range. The creature approached, squatted to strip and eat leaves, noticed the witness, vocalized, and walked away into timber, later appearing briefly on a distant ridge. The witness considered shooting it for science but refrained, then examined droppings and a bedding spot.
