BFRO Investigators detail activity around Twain Harte
Investigators found fresh broken trees, dozens of footprints and two nests where a trail crossed a road and staked out the spot. No creature was seen, but something large moving on two feet approached the stakeout before fleeing downhill through brush when a car passed. The sign was documented the next day with footprint and tree-break measurements and a body-length impression in one nest.
Hikers make track find on Table Rock Creek, Oregon
On March 18, 2001, two brothers hiking near Table Rock Wilderness found large bare-foot-like prints in snow that were larger and deeper than their own boot prints. They photographed the prints with a dollar bill for scale and estimated a 4-foot stride. No animal was seen, and a search of other prints found no hair.
Hunter catches glimpse of biped on snowy road
The driver was traveling at night in light snow with a young child passenger when headlights revealed a large upright figure near the road. The figure moved downhill on two legs with long strides and a large upper body, which the driver felt differed from a bear. The driver stopped where the figure left the road and noticed smeared tracks in mud and snow leading downhill but did not follow them. The driver later said he believed the figure was likely a bigfoot.
Bare, wide footprints seen in the mud of a February thaw
While mountain biking near a creek, the witness stopped for a break and noticed bare footprints following the creek edge in soft mud. The prints showed no arch and had a wrinkled texture, which seemed odd in February cold. After later reading about a nearby sighting, the witness filed this report.
ATV'ers find footprints near Pt.Pleasant
While riding ATVs on private property, the witness group stopped to eat near a creek. The witness noticed several large human-like footprints beside where she sat, including one much larger than a companion's boot. The prints led toward the creek and the stride between them was too long for her to match. No camera was available to document the tracks.
Footprints found in snow seen by several witnesses
The witness was called outside in January to look at large footprints in melting snow. The human-like prints with distinct toes encircled the property and overlaid the witness's own earlier footprints in the woods. The prints were described as 15 to 18 inches long with about a 3-foot stride.
Footprints photographed in Yellow Canyon.
On the afternoon of January 5th 2001 the witness found several footprints on the edge of Yellow House Canyon near Lubbock, Texas, where the ground was flat with little vegetation and fresh snow. The witness took several photographs of the footprints. Four or five people were reported to have seen the tracks and photographs.
Family marvels at huge barefoot tracks in snow
Two relatives of the witness found two large barefoot-like prints in fresh snow off a road near their cabin and brought the witness to see them. He compared his size 10 1/2 shoe to one print and estimated it was about 14 inches long and twice as wide, with a slight arch curve. The prints were noted as fairly far apart, and the witness questioned who would be barefoot in that isolated area.
Tracks found before Christmas, near Hendersonville
During a December 2000 snowstorm evening the witness's normally calm dog reacted intensely as if an animal was outside. About two and a half hours later the witness found a single line of very large, deep, widely spaced footprints in snow crossing the yard from one wooded area to another. The witness compared the prints to their own boot and stride and judged they were made around the time of the dog's reaction, but blowing snow had obscured detail.
Rooks Park Investigation
In early morning fresh snow, the witness was walking a paved trail and found large barefoot tracks with a smaller set alongside. The witness followed the tracks to a wooden bridge where they were lost. The find was reported two weeks later.
Large bridge found crossing creekbed
Three companions hiked several miles into old-growth forest at the base of Mt. St. Helens in midday snow conditions. They reported finding twisted trees, saplings torn down and woven over a creek, and numerous large bare footprints in snow. The largest print was taped at 21 inches and dwarfed the witness's boot, but attempted photos failed due to snow glare.
November, 2000, Arkansas, Benton
Two people walking a terrier dog along the receded shoreline of a lake followed large raccoon tracks to a disturbed area in packed sandy soil. There they found two sizes of large human-like footprints intersecting the raccoon tracks, which ended at the disturbance, while the human-like tracks returned toward the tree line. The prints were much deeper than the witnesses' own impressions in the same soil. The dog behaved unusually at the site, whining and soiling the area.
Barefoot tracks and whistling heard while hunting
While elk hunting on a mountain trail in the morning, the witness found a barefoot-like print in soft dirt and followed it briefly before losing it. Shortly afterward the witness heard an unfamiliar whistling sound, then heard it again later while watching a draw for elk. The combination struck the witness as strange and unlike anything heard in decades of hunting the area.
Three youths find footprints while walking along riverbank
The witness and a companion were walking along a river in the evening when they found a line of very large five-toed footprints in sand under a bridge. The prints were estimated at 11 to 14 inches long and led to the water where they could not be followed. No creature was seen.
Hunters find track in mountains above Falls City
The witness was scouting deer locations by vehicle with two relatives when he found a large human-like footprint at a logging-road turnaround overlooking a ravine. The relatives joined him to examine it closely and they found a coarse hair inside the print. They photographed and videotaped the print and kept the hair in a film container, but the hair was later lost while showing it to someone.
Hunter finds unrecognizable scat near Guler Mountain.
The witness was hunting elk along a ridge trail and noting elk, coyote, cougar and deer sign. About a mile from a spur road, just off the trail behind a small tree, the witness found an unusually large dark tubular scat that did not match known animals. The witness examined its size, color and contents with a stick and suggested it could possibly have come from a large primate-like animal.
Possible track found by hunter near Palmer / Hatcher Pass
The witness and a companion were tracking game near the edge of a swamp in the early morning when they found a single large human-like footprint among moose tracks. The witness described it as an 11-inch right foot with five toes and a large big toe, estimated to be a couple days old, with no other similar tracks found. Heavy rain prevented making a cast, and when the witness returned two days later the track was water-filled and unrecognizable.
Man Finds Tracks in Muskwa River Floodplain
The witness stopped in a river floodplain to look for rocks and found large tracks crossing his path. He followed the trackway for nearly a quarter mile and photographed the prints with his boot for scale, noting they were larger and deeper than his own boot impression. While following, he saw a group of resident wild horses running from the direction of the tracks, which he interpreted as spooked.
Hunter sees prints near Round Mountain
The witness went alone to rifle-hunt deer and walked up an overgrown skid road beside a creek. About 150 yards up the road he noticed a large human-like footprint on the creek bank measuring about 17 inches long and 6 inches wide. He also saw additional prints on a small dirt mound that he interpreted as the maker leaving the area quickly.

The couple reported hearing a very loud animal-like vocalization for about 20 minutes at night from their cabin.

They photographed the prints and estimated the first water-filled track at 16 to 18 inches long.
