Daytime sighting while traveling on US-7 North of Williamstown
A couple traveling north in a motor home on Route 7 near the Vermont state line claimed a daytime sighting. The wife, a front-seat passenger, spotted a very tall black upright figure in an open grassy field west of the highway. She watched for about four to five seconds as it walked steadily north toward a treeline, about 50 yards from the road edge. Both occupants said they were mystified about what the animal could have been.

Creature seen moving stones and small pieces of wood
The witness was hiking alone on a wooded mountain trail in summer when they noticed a moving, fur-covered animal about 100 yards ahead. Using binoculars and moving closer downwind, they watched it forage, move stones and wood, and stack rocks, noting its tall massive body, reddish fur, long arms, large human-like hands, and dark human-like face. The animal eventually moved back into the forest and the frightened witness ran back to the trail.
Essex County, April 1978, Encounter with Creature
The reporter and three companions spent about half an hour on an observation tower, where the reporter heard loud clicking and short high-pitched screams and noticed an absence of birds. While driving out of the refuge minutes later, the reporter and the front-seat companion watched a huge, very wide, all-black upright figure cross the wide road in about three steps and disappear into dense brush. The companions in the back seat did not see it, and a brief stop found only a disturbed path through the brush where it had entered.
