Two Hunters hear screams from forest and see a sasquatch, find mangled trees and brush as evidence the next morning

The witness and a companion were at a remote camp in the evening when they heard a loud mule-like wailing scream and then saw a tall hairy creature with a relatively hairless face in a spotlight. The creature showed eye reflection, covered its eyes from the light, braced between two small trees with large hairless-palmed hands, then shambled away. The pair heard movement around camp all night and the next day found freshly twisted tree limbs nearby but no usable tracks due to dry ground.

Two witnesses ran outside to try for more footage but conditions were too dark and dense. The investigator later described the videotaped subject as a large, shaggy male figure and reported enhancements showed no sign of costume or effects.

No one else saw the creature, and later searches found no tracks or hair.

Witnesses saw creature running down a mountain.

Two hikers stopped on a mountain trail and watched a hair-covered human-like figure standing on the summit in daylight. After several minutes it ran straight down the steep rocky face in about 90 seconds, moving faster than a person could and appearing taller than the treeline trees. The witnesses hiked to the summit, noted the terrain seemed impassable at that speed, and later heard a companion suggest the figure was a Sasquatch.

Unusual sounds heard, sighting of fast upright animal

The witness and two relatives returned at night to a riverside berry area where relatives had felt watched the day before. After about ten minutes of quiet, they heard a loud bang like a shotgun, loud splashing near shore, and repeated very large rocks thrown into the water. After retreating uphill and pausing by the car, they heard a branch snap and rustling, and an unseen presence loudly mimicked the witness's whistle by vocalizing.

Campers menaced after dark by what they assume was a family group

A group camping above a swollen river heard mumbling voices and stick-breaking approaching, followed by loud chanting, shouting and stomping that shook a log seat and was taken as a demand to leave. The sounds stopped after deep hooted calls and later receded to distant screams up the valley and across the mountain. Later, while in a tent, the witness saw the firelight blocked by a squatting silhouette that touched the zipper with five digits, with felt breath and strong odor, before withdrawing. In the morning the witness noted hairs and deep depressions on the trail.

Five member family camping see a hairy upright animal

Shortly after dinner the witness watched from a campfire as an upright hairy animal appeared on a ridgeline about 120 yards away. After other family members were called over, the animal looked toward them, moved uphill with very long strides, violently shook a small fir tree with one hand, then went over the ridge and out of sight. The whole sighting lasted 30 to 40 seconds, and a later search of the area found no tracks.
