A woman has late night sighting when a motion detecting light illuminates her back porch
Late at night the witness went to check on children sleeping in a bedroom that opens onto a porch against a wooded hillside. A motion light came on and the witness saw a tall, dark, shaggy creature standing on two legs at the window, partly obscured by a blind. The figure stood briefly, then left toward the woods. The next morning the witness found slide marks in mud on the hillside but no clear footprints.
Daylight sighting near rural church on Rt. 31, east of Parkersburg, near Cairo
Four teenagers left a church after an evening rehearsal to go for a walk along a road lined with pines. One who hid behind the trees encountered a tall hairy figure at very close range pulling back a branch, then fled screaming. Another teen then watched the tall muscular figure emerge from the trees, cross the road, and walk up a hillside while turning its upper body to glance back.
Family gathering interrupted by 8-foot tall visitor at the kitchen window
The witness and extended family had arrived late for a summer visit at the grandparents' mountain home and were talking inside. An older relative noticed something at the high kitchen window, prompting several men to go outside with firearms. The grandfather fired a shotgun toward the rear of the house while the witness, locked out front, saw the outline of a shoulder and head with reflective eyes near the roofline. The group regrouped inside, and dogs normally around the house were absent that night but returned frightened in the morning.
One of several sighting and vocalization reports. When witness called out " it stood up at the edge of the hill and huffed and puffed."
Five people drove to a rural spot at night to hang out. After dogs in a hollow below barked then fell suddenly silent, the group heard movement in brush and saw a tall fur-covered figure stand at the hill edge making huffing sounds. When the driver turned on the car headlights the figure covered its face and moved behind trees as the group fled in the car.
