Woman is startled after seeing a face with yellow eyes peering into her kitchen window near Valley City

The witness was making coffee at about 3 a.m. when she saw widely spaced large yellow eyes looking through a window, with a dark width blocking the outside light and shifting side to side.

After daylight, she and a relative found a strong odor in the yard, vegetation matted and crushed under the window, and squirrel corn missing.

Possible nighttime sighting by a couple in separate vehicles outside Escanaba

Two people driving home separately at night each reported seeing a large shadowy figure by the highway slip into the woods about a half-mile from home.

The sighting occurred two days after a bizarre shrieking noise had been heard in the yard.

Family has recurring encounters at home near Forsyth

The witness and her husband were awakened after midnight by strange sounds from their children's bedroom heard through a baby monitor, including squeaking at the window and a thump against the house wall.

Shortly after, both heard a very loud double whoop vocalization twice, which the husband said could not have been an owl.

A woman has close sighting through living room window, very near the Zaleski State Forest

On June 20, 2004 around 2 a.m., the witness was watching TV at home when she noticed a large dark shadow looking in through full-length windows facing the woods. The shape moved when she turned off the TV, and she remained in the recliner overnight. The next morning she found two very large hand-like prints on the glass that she judged to be non-human based on her fingerprint training.

Summer 1977 Gates, Marion County, Oregon Class B #5350

College students get approached by sasquatch and shoot at it

Four college geology students camping at night heard howling from a canyon and then saw the outline of a huge bipedal animal on the road in moon and campfire light. When the animal approached, one student fired a rifle several times, after which it crossed the road and moved noisily up the opposite slope through brush. A responding deputy examined the area the next day and reported indistinct impressions, small pushed-over trees and long uphill strides, but no blood or fur.

Biology teacher's experiences around "the 1893 Bridge."

A teacher and companions are said to have encountered a tall creature on at least six occasions near an old bridge in Cooke County, Texas. The encounters occurred at night from a vehicle, with the figure seen as a tall silhouette in headlights and heard making threatening noises while moving through brush. On one occasion the creature was described as bouncing a limb, whose height was measured the next day, and daytime searches reportedly found bones in the creek. Shots were allegedly fired at the creature without apparent effect.
