Possible Sasquatch wood knocks in forested riverbed beside Chama during lockdown

Two people were day-hiking on a trail by the Rio Chama in late July 2020. After returning a fearful dog to the car, they heard loud resonant knocks nearby that were answered by lighter-toned knocks from farther away. Believing the sounds were exchanging responses, they decided to leave the area.

11 August 2005 Rio Arriba County, New Mexico Class B #12418

Various sounds heard during the BFRO's Jemez Mts. expedition

The witness and a child sat in a parked pickup with windows down near a night listening location. After waiting, they heard a prolonged clamor of fighting coyotes uphill with a distinct human- or ape-like yowling mixed in lasting about 45 seconds. The witness believed others near the blasting area recorded the sounds and later said several participants agreed they had heard something other than a known animal.

Vocalizations heard near Dulce

The witness went outside in the early morning to see if there was room in the trash cans. From the direction of the river, the witness heard scream-like vocalizations while the surroundings were otherwise silent. The witness then went inside to get a relative to listen, but no further sounds were heard.

Numerous rocks thrown at elk hunters in deep forest near Tierra Amarilla

The witness, suffering back pain while elk hunting, crawled to a sunny clearing and rested against a low stump. For over an hour, softball-sized rocks were thrown from the treeline at intervals under a minute, striking trees about eight feet up and landing nearby, with no other noise. The witness radioed his brother, who arrived and jointly watched the rock-throwing continue for about 30 minutes. Afterward they searched toward the source but found no tracks due to rocky ground and saw no thrower.

Hunters experience powerfull knocks on camper and hear vocalizations outside Jicarilla Indian Reservation

During an evening at a deer-hunting camp, the group heard loud bangs on the side of their camper on two occasions but found no one outside. Later that night while around a campfire, all five heard prolonged screaming and moaning sounds coming from across an arroyo toward the foothills. Two members walked toward the sounds but saw nothing, and a search of the area the next day found nothing unusual.
