Appalachian Trail Hikers find possible tracks and hear a late night howl near Franklin

Two people on a backpacking trip camped for the night and heard a long two-toned howl after midnight, followed by distant whoops over about two hours. The next day while hiking they found large deep human-like footprints crossing the trail at two gaps, with about five-foot stride, plus piled limbs in tree forks and overturned mushrooms nearby. They photographed the prints and noted a bloody stick but did not keep it.

Camper (active duty Marine from Cmp. Lejune) shoots at possible sasquatch and later hears moaning screams

Three companions were gathered at a pond bonfire late at night when one walked back toward the house alone with a shotgun. He reportedly saw eyes staring down at him off the trail, shouted, then fired all six rounds at close range before fleeing in fear. Later the reporter heard a single very loud prolonged scream from that area followed by total forest silence, and a brief morning search found almost no blood and no clear prints.

Family experiences activity near Ector.

In the fall of 2001 the witness's daughter was driving up the gravel access road to the family home late at night after work. A large fur-covered figure running upright crossed a few yards in front of her headlights from west to east. She later compared its appearance to the creature from the film Harry and the Hendersons and was reluctant to discuss it.

BFRO YEAR: 1976-77 Pollock Pines, El Dorado County, California Class B #4790

Family finds large footprints and hears strange sounds near Pollock Pines

During a family walk on a mountain logging trail in the late 1970s, the group heard branches breaking around them. Near a recently fallen tree they found a wet blood-like substance on the log and a very large fresh human-like footprint that dwarfed an adult man's boot. The group quickly left the area and returned toward the cabin.
