Strange game camera photo leads to finding possible footprints outside of New London
A game camera captured a close-up image of long reddish-brown hair directly in front of the lens with no body visible. The property owners then found a series of four large barefoot tracks with visible toes coming from the woods past the same camera. They photographed the tracks with a tape measure, and later investigators measured remaining impressions at about 14 inches long. No one reported seeing the creature directly.
Campers hear possible vocalizations on Yellowwood Lake
The witness and his wife were asleep in their camper at a campground when they were woken by very loud, deep, long howls from very close by.

Logger discovers three sets of unusual tracks on a new logging road
The witness was driving an excavator at night to a new logging job site when he noticed three different-sized footprints in the dusty road surface.

Possible evening interaction by a river west of Mazama
The witness and a relative crossed the river at night to search for Bigfoot, using tree knocks and vocal calls.

They tried additional calls with no further response and left around 10 p.m.
Multiple incidents including possible vocalizations and rock throwing on a farm near Blaine
The witness reported sitting outside at home at night when a loud, woman-like scream came from a nearby hill, followed immediately by two 'who' sounds that did not sound like an owl.

Possible early morning whoops and knocks heard at a Forest Service cabin
The witness stayed overnight in a rented cabin with two children.

Hiking family finds possible track off trail outside Estes Park
A family of four was hiking and identifying animal tracks in a forested mountain area when the husband found a single large footprint off the trail. The print was about 13.5 to 14 inches long and about half an inch deep, with possible toe impressions, and crossed perpendicular to the trail. The husband could not leave a comparable impression in the same vicinity. The family photographed the print with a boot for scale, felt uneasy, and continued on without seeing or hearing anything that could have made it.

Two brothers camped overnight beside a lake in the park. During the night and again after dawn they repeatedly heard a loud aggressive exhale-like sound nearby, along with footsteps and branches breaking as something moved through the forest, followed by scream-like sounds that turned into chatter.

About 15 minutes later a large birch about 20 to 30 feet away was heard cracking, seen bending down and then springing back upright.

Family hears ape-like sounds close to a dam on the Neosho River near Pryor
The witness, with relatives, stopped their truck on back roads at night and heard a short whooping ape-like sound from the treeline about 15 yards away. After backing the truck up about 20 feet, they heard a second louder, deeper and more aggressive vocalization of the same type from a different direction, which the witness interpreted as coming from a second animal. They remained in the area for several hours, looked around with a light and lantern, and heard nothing further.

The witness and three companions were camping and hiked to a sandy point on a river bend. At the river's edge the witness found 10-11 very large human-like footprints that appeared to come out of the water onto the sand and then go back into the water.

Possible footprints found by a hiker on Mt. Ascutney
On May 24, 2015 the witness was hiking for pleasure when she found two very large footprints near a tree by the trail.

Nothing was ever seen, and the group left the hillside quickly after the close growls, later listening from camp.
