Deer Hunter describes Pre-Dawn Encounter with a Sasquatch on Glade Mountain 9 miles East of Marion

The witness was walking to a deer hunting blind before sunrise when he noticed a dark shape lying across the trail in moonlight. When he shone his flashlight on it, the shape rose to vertical, turned away, and walked bipedally into dense vegetation almost silently. He later heard a throat-clearing sound from the thicket and found only disturbed leaves where it had gone.

Sasquatch charges witness after son fires shotgun near Blackstone (includes audio from follow-up investigation)

Late at night the witness and a relative went outside to check a heavy thud behind the house. They saw a deer run past, then a very tall hair-covered human-like figure approach from the woods. After a shotgun shot was fired toward the treeline, the figure veered closer, stopped nearby, then moved along the treeline into the woods where it remained visible for several minutes. A strong odor was noticed and large footprints were found the next day.

The reporting relative relayed an account from the witness, who was painting a vacant house at night. Around 10:45 p.m. the witness stepped into the front yard to smoke and heard dogs barking and something crashing through trees. A very large, hairy creature ran past at high speed making loud grunting sounds before crossing the road and disappearing.

BFRO YEAR: 1970? Clarksville, Mecklenburg County, Virginia Class A #7392

Youth catches standing figure in flashlight glow during camp-out

Around May 1970 the witness was camping with family at a lakeside campground and lay awake in a tent near midnight. After hearing trash being disturbed, the witness stepped out barefoot with a flashlight and saw a small upright furry creature looking into a hanging trash bag. The creature turned, made a squeal-grunt cry, and dashed away while the witness ran shouting to wake relatives. No tracks were found afterward because the area was trampled.
