02/15/04 Rensselaer County, NY: Vocalizations, with Tracks Found the Next Day

Late at night a resident went onto the porch after the outside dog became highly agitated and heard continuous loud shrieking screams, which the spouse also heard. The next morning footprints were found in deep snow leading across a field toward the forest with long strides, and a second set was reported to join the first in the woods. Photographs of the tracks were said to have been taken.

January 1990 Sand Lake, Rensselaer County, New York Class B #4508

Possible track find in snow, near the town of Sand Lake

The witness and a companion were cross-country skiing on a logging road in January when they found large, fresh, barefoot-like tracks crossing the trail. The tracks had not been there about ten minutes earlier, were estimated at 1.5 to 2 feet long, and only two prints spanned the 6- to 7-foot-wide trail. They found no vehicle tracks or other human footprints to explain them and left the area quickly.

Nighttime road crossing sighting by couple outside Poestenkill

The witness and a companion were driving home late at night when they saw a tall figure covered in red hair leap over a roadside fence and run upright across a field toward woods. The witness estimated the figure at 7-8 feet tall and described it as human-like and moving upright, while the companion also watched it run upright swinging its arms until it disappeared. Both stated it was not a bear or deer and concluded it must have been a bigfoot.
