Family is frightened from the woods by unseen creature and loud knocks near Yellow Creek

A family of four was sitting by a lake when they heard crashing and crunching of something large moving in the woods about 50 yards away.

The group left immediately while the adult male stood watch, and later searches found only game sign and a few possible tracks.

Landowner details a series of events at her remote cabin

The witness discovered a track way in fresh snow in the early morning after a heavy overnight snowfall, noting it had not been present the day before. The track way passed beside the home and into the woods with a consistent stride of about 52 inches and was photographed with a ruler for scale. The maker was not observed and details were obscured by additional snowfall, but the witness interpreted the tracks as made by a Sasquatch.

Camper photographs possible footprints at Lena Lake in the Buckhorn Wilderness

The witness was backpacking with a relative and a group at an alpine lake and went to explore the shore alone in the evening. She found many barefoot prints of different sizes that were unusually deep in mud and showed what she interpreted as a mid-tarsal break. She tested the mud firmness against her own weight, followed the prints from the water into gravel and rocks, and concluded they were not human.

The sound was unlike any bear or mountain lion they knew and never repeated, prompting them to hurry back to their car. The pair later expressed certainty that the vocalization was a sasquatch.
