19 January 2014 Bethany, Wayne County, Pennsylvania Class B #43901

Possible nighttime road crossing near Bethany

The witness was driving home at night when, after glancing away from an oncoming car's high beams, they saw the lower part of a large dark long-haired figure. Only two very large legs with extremely large feet were visible in the headlights as it took three steps across the road and a fourth step up the roadside bank. The witness briefly stopped to look for tracks from the car, then left feeling frightened.

2012 Romulus, Wayne County, Michigan Class B #48824

Ongoing activity and possible vocalizations recorded near Detroit Metro Airport

The witness claims hearing a loud, deep human-like howl near home for 6-7 years, mostly at night around 1 a.m. and continuing until daybreak, sometimes with a second higher-pitched voice. The sound is described as moving west to east past the house and back, triggering dogs and coyotes, and increasing with heavy plane traffic and hot humid nights. The witness recorded the sounds on a cell phone and suspects the source used the barn in winter.

Large unknown animal on all fours seen crossing a road near Patterson

The witness and a companion were driving on a highway bordered by treelines and weeds near dusk. About 50 yards ahead, a large dark hairy figure emerged from the treeline on the left and crossed the road diagonally on all fours. They slowed to avoid hitting it but continued driving without stopping. The witness described it as unlike any known animal, with long front arms, squat rear legs, and dirty matted hair.

Possible activity outside a residence near Lavalette

The witness and a relative were sitting on a hill near outbuildings watching a hollow at night when a passing car's lights revealed a tall standing figure below them. The figure turned toward them, and after the car passed they heard breathing and running coming uphill toward them. Both fled to the nearby house and heard nothing further that night.

Couple witness rocks thrown and possible vocalizations between two animals on either side of a fishing dock near Williamsville

The couple were night fishing from boat docks around midnight when rocks began splashing into the water on both sides of the cove. Two unseen sources on opposite banks threw large rocks and produced deep growls, screams, and howls in unison for an extended period while the couple remained on the dock. They eventually left the dock for their cabin and continued to hear the sounds from the overlook.

August 1989 Centerville, Wayne County, Indiana Class B #2168

Two campers hear loud vocalizations

Two companions were camping overnight in an old corn crib in August 1989 when they were awakened by a very loud growling and hollering sound from the woods. They heard the same sound again minutes later, louder and closer, unlike any coyote or owl they knew. They could see nothing in the darkness.
