Possible daylight sighting by a law enforcement officer standing in his yard near Fremont

The witness reported seeing a very large dark shaggy figure at a trail head at the edge of woods near home in mid-morning. The figure stood motionless after noticing the witness, then vanished during a brief 4-5 second glance away. A later size-comparison photo suggested the figure was much larger than the witness.

Possible sighting by hunters near Bath

Two deer hunters walking a creek bottom heard movement paralleling them on a deer trail, then saw a figure moving bipedally through the woods about 60 yards away. They watched it cross the creek, climb the banks, and run along a power line into pines where the sounds eventually stopped. They tried to backtrack it but lost sign beyond a farm pond.

Follow up investigation to track find in Rathbone

In early August 1995, a couple fishing at a neighbor's pond near Addison found large footprints, hair-like material and disturbed vegetation. Additional prints appeared on subsequent days on different sides of the pond. State wildlife officials and university staff examined casts and samples but did not identify the source.
