6 March 2018 Sigel, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania Class B #59159

Possible stalking at the town of Sigel in Eldred Township

The witness was sitting in his truck overnight at a wooded construction site monitoring a generator. He heard bipedal footsteps pacing in the leaves and a loud bang on a tank that he believed was a thrown rock. A tall figure stepped to the edge of the woods beside the truck, turned to face him, then walked back into the woods. He turned headlights toward the woods but saw nothing further.

Pre-dawn whoops and movement heard near Prince Galitzin State Park

The witness was sitting alone in a deer stand in very dark, rainy conditions before dawn when a musky odor was present. He heard a whistle followed by repeated whooping from different directions, along with slow walking sounds and large branches breaking, which faded after several minutes. He stayed in the stand and noticed the odor was gone after sunrise.

Teens encounter creature near Girard

Five companions were camping in a ravine and staging a b-b gun war when they heard loud movement approaching through the woods. They shone lights toward the sound and saw very large green glowing eyes, then fled to the highway. From a ditch they looked back and saw an enormous upright outline with arms hanging past its knees before running away.

Hunters hear nighttime vocalization on Belltown Hill, near the north shore of the Clarion River in the Allegheny National Forest

The witness and two relatives were playing poker inside a hunting cabin at night when a loud bang struck the side door followed by an unfamiliar loud scream-howl from outside. They armed themselves and opened the door with flashlights but saw nothing, only hearing something walk away into the woods and smelling a wet-dog-like odor. They chose not to follow it.

BFRO YEAR: 2006-pres Kane, McKean County, Pennsylvania Class B #49903

Several possible incidents over the years in the Allegheny National Forest

In March 2014 while staying at a cabin with four companions, the witness went alone to a nearby meadow after dark to look at stars. The witness heard bipedal footsteps approaching up the slope, called out twice with no reply, and the steps paused then stopped at the lane edge. As the witness walked back past that spot, brush shuffled as if something turned to watch, but all companions were still inside and had heard nothing.
