Possible camp stalking by a bigfoot 30 miles southwest of Durham

Two people tending a brush fire at night heard repeated grunt-like vocals and heavy breathing from the woods behind them for about an hour. The sounds stopped whenever they turned to look and included occasional footsteps and snapping limbs. After they went inside, they thought they heard something come out of the woods toward the remaining fire.

Likely Sasquatch activity around farm property near Green River gamelands

At about 2 a.m. during a break in a storm, the witness heard something at the backyard wire fence and went outside armed with a relative. They heard footsteps and loud cracks first mistaken for gunfire and fired weapons toward the sound. The cracking was then recognized as wood splitting as a huge tree was pushed over, crashing down and shaking the house, after which the family heard loud footfalls running away.

Campers awakened by heavy bipedal footsteps in Uwharrie National Forest

The witness and companions were camping overnight when they were awakened about 1 a.m. by loud, heavy bipedal footsteps moving around their campsites and breaking branches and leaves near the wood line. They judged the source to be very large and heavy and ruled out deer, horse, or bear because it walked like a person on two feet. No vocalizations were heard, no footprints were found, and no food was disturbed.

Unknown early morning visitor heard by a youth leader in the Uwharrie National Forest

The witness was camped in a tent at a primitive site in mixed forest when, in the dark early-morning hours, footsteps were heard crunching through dry leaves off-trail. The unseen walker came from dense woods behind the tent, crossed the trail, and continued east smoothly without a light. The witness stayed still and never saw the source, but later insisted it was certainly bipedal and not a deer.

Deer hunter finds possible footprint near Ellerbe

While scouting and then deer hunting near a river over several weeks, the witness reports a persistent foul odor, sounds of being followed, and repeated loud wood knocks. The witness found single very large deeply impressed tracks on two occasions, plus stick formations, flattened vegetation, long strides in leaves, and animal remains including hide on a high limb and a bloody disturbed area. A wildlife biologist viewed the first track but considered it contaminated, and later investigators visiting the site found no tracks or signs.

Possible late evening incidents at a mountain home near Little Switzerland

The witness stayed two nights at a friend's house on a wooded mountain development. On the first night outside the house he reported paired knocking sounds, stones hitting the roof, and a brief glimpse of gray movement.

On the second night he heard more knocks and howling, then was awakened by loud pounding on the roof and walls that the host also heard.

Possible pre-dawn approach to property outside Winston-Salem

Early in the morning the witness took the dog out to the end of the driveway before work. The dog alerted toward the treeline, then the witness heard a loud howl and wood-on-wood sounds very close and glimpsed a figure by a tree. After going back inside and leaving again, the witness heard footsteps in the dark and saw a huge dark upright figure moving along the fence and driveway by a pond, later noticing a foul odor and disturbed leaves in the area.

The witness was lying in bed at home around 4am when an unidentified screaming sound was heard outside.
