Daylight sighting while cutting wood near the Chipola River

The witness was clearing a trail near the Chipola River on a summer evening when he felt watched. He turned to see a tall black hair-covered biped watching him from behind a small tree about 40 yards away. After watching for about 10 seconds, the witness backed away frightened as the creature turned and walked calmly into the woods; he noted a rank odor just before and loud yells and grunts from the woods after.

Sasquatch sighting near Grantsville, West Virginia (1970)

The guest and his younger brother were on summer vacation at their grandfather's hillside house in West Virginia. After the younger brother fled the back bedroom saying a hairy face had pushed through the unscreened window while sniffing the air, both boys ran outside and, in headlights reflected off the siding, watched a dark bipedal figure go down the rear embankment and crash through a dense briar thicket. The next morning their uncle turned pale when told and warned them to stay out of the back.
