Nighttime sighting by commuter on remote road 40 miles north of Bristol
The witness was driving to an early-morning shift when she slowed for a large dark figure beside the road. The figure was crouched on two legs at the brush line, appearing to peer through the brush toward deer while glancing at the headlights.

The creature looked toward them briefly before turning and walking away into cover with long strides. The husband later described the encounter to an investigator by phone, while the wife declined to discuss it because she was frightened.
Daylight encounter one mile south of Agency on the Platte River
The witness claims they were sitting alone fishing on a riverbank in the early evening when they heard prolonged rustling and noticed a strong foul odor growing stronger. After about 10-15 minutes they turned to see a very tall, broad, dingy-brown hairy figure standing 20-30 yards away staring at them without moving or making sound. After a brief stare-down the witness dropped their fishing pole and ran about a half-mile to their car and drove home, and states they have never returned to the spot.
Recollections of numerous encounters at a logging camp during the Great Depression
The reporter recounts stories his parents told about a logging camp in the early 1930s shortly after their 1932 marriage. After an initial close approach to another woman in camp, a large hairy human-like creature was seen repeatedly in the evenings, at times leaning on a parked truck and running upright faster than dogs. The father prevented others from shooting it because it looked too human.
