March 2012 Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama Class B #35339

Unexplained happenings on a farm outside Tuscaloosa

A couple at their rural wooded home heard loud long guttural man-like yells almost nightly for several weeks in March 2012, usually around dusk. On March 31 the sounds seemed very close past the fence and suggested two individuals yelling, and on another night a growl from the same area frightened livestock. The sounds stopped for about a month and then resumed.

Summer 2010 Double Springs, Winston County, Alabama Class B #30680

Outdoorsman experiences vocalizations and rock throwing on the Sipsey River

The witness was pulling his canoe out of the Sipsey River at dusk to load it for transport when he heard a series of very loud, powerful whoops from a distance, followed after a pause by three more. He said the sound was unlike any owl or other woods or river sound he knew and it frightened him into quickly carrying the canoe up a steep hill to his car. He later noted the whoops sounded like examples on a Bigfoot website and said researchers told him they had no one working that area at the time.

19 January 2008 Unknown/Talladega National Forest, Clay County, Alabama Class B #22969

Camper Awakened by Loud Wood Knocks in Talladega National Forrest

The witness was camping overnight with a scout group on a very cold, windy night when extremely loud wood-on-wood knocks were heard from north of camp. The sounds came as three pairs of knocks and were heard clearly over the wind, with no other campers in that direction. Two other adults were also awakened and the group could not agree on a natural explanation. The witness did not investigate that night because of the weather and concern about frightening the children.

The witness left without approaching closely and returned the next day, finding no sign but noticing an unusual odor.

Couple reports possible stalking near abandoned rural graveyard outside town of Valley

The witness and her husband were sitting in their parked car at an overgrown abandoned graveyard at night. She heard branches breaking, felt watched, and noticed a foul odor, then watched a very tall bulky figure standing between pines and swaying side to side for several minutes before leaving.

28 July 2006 Tanner, Limestone County, Alabama Class B #15597

Possible vocalizations reported near Tanner

The witness was working on a fence near the barn after dark when she heard a disturbance in the nearby woods that sounded like a deer being caught. About half an hour later she heard a loud powerful hollering howl from the woods, then heard it again from the area of the first noise as she prepared to leave. Frightened, she backed an ATV to the house and went inside, hearing nothing further when she returned outside with her husband. She believes the sound matched Bigfoot vocalizations she had heard on television and felt it could not have come from familiar local animals.
