Wood knock near Butte Falls, Oregon (2025)

The witness was tent-camping overnight when awakened late at night by an animal believed to be an elk running nearby. About two minutes later the witness heard repeated sets of three wood-on-wood knocks that seemed to originate farther away each time over several minutes. The witness perceived the source as moving unusually fast through dense regrowth in darkness and left the site uneasily in the morning.

Possible vocalizations heard outside Ruch on BLM land called "Woodrat Mountain"

The witness reported hearing very loud, long drawn-out howls over several months in summer and fall 2003. The sounds seemed to come from BLM land across the street from the witness's house in a pine forest area and did not match familiar local animals. The witness never saw the source, noting the events occurred in the evening and nighttime.

Sasquatch evidence near Mount McLoughlin

The witness and a companion were hiking in fresh snow with no prior tracks ahead. They found very large human-like tracks with a long stride and followed them about two miles. Near a turn the tracks stopped, snow clumps rolled down an embankment and brush moved as if something had just jumped uphill, and the pair left quickly.
