Turkey hunter observes a sasquatch in daylight 2 miles SW of Erwin

The witness was turkey hunting from the base of a tree on a ridge when a tall, dark reddish-brown bipedal figure was seen about 75 yards away for a few seconds before it stepped behind a tree. About 15 minutes later, while still in the same spot, an object struck a tree about 30 yards to the left and fell to the ground sounding like a rock. The witness also noticed a musky odor and reported no further activity that morning.

Possible daylight sighting by a law enforcement officer standing in his yard near Fremont

The witness reported seeing a very large dark shaggy figure at a trail head at the edge of woods near home in mid-morning. The figure stood motionless after noticing the witness, then vanished during a brief 4-5 second glance away. A later size-comparison photo suggested the figure was much larger than the witness.

Resident observes a sasquatch near homes at 2-3am on the outskirts of Bath

Late at night in mid-November 2012, the witness stepped outside a basement apartment to smoke. About 140 yards to the east, the witness watched a tall cinnamon-brown figure pace back and forth for about three to four minutes near a house light before it disappeared. The figure moved smoothly with no head bob and had long shaggy head hair, with lower legs hidden by a rise in ground. After losing sight of it, the witness went inside to wake the spouse.

Possible sighting by hunters near Bath

Two deer hunters walking a creek bottom heard movement paralleling them on a deer trail, then saw a figure moving bipedally through the woods about 60 yards away. They watched it cross the creek, climb the banks, and run along a power line into pines where the sounds eventually stopped. They tried to backtrack it but lost sign beyond a farm pond.

While taking a break during a deer drive, hunter sees 6 foot tall creature run away down hillside

The witness was deer hunting with companions and stopped to rest on a hill. A black entity about the witness's height ran very fast down the hill about 50 yards away and disappeared in about five seconds, with breaking deadfall heard as it left. The witness was startled, thought it might have been watching, and later wondered if it was a large bear or loose livestock.

BFRO YEAR: 1979 or 80 Canisteo, Steuben County, New York Class A #13662

Daylight sighting near a railroad bed and the Canisteo River

The witness and his son reportedly watched a dark animal from about three-tenths of a mile away in a flat river-bottom area. They observed it walk several hundred feet along the river bank before it went out of sight around a bend. The daylight sighting occurred in late spring during very dry conditions, and nearby railroad workers could not see the animal because a hedgerow blocked their view.
