Nurse Sees Sasquatch Run Across Hwy on All Fours

The witness was driving northbound on a four-lane highway through forested land in the early evening. A long, skinny, dark-haired creature came from the left at full running speed and crossed all four lanes in front of her on all fours with an arched back and tucked head. She slowed and watched it continue without looking and disappear into heavy forest. She first wondered if it was an April Fools costume, but after checking native animals and other reports she concluded it was something else.

Ongoing activity and possible vocalizations recorded near Detroit Metro Airport

The witness claims hearing a loud, deep human-like howl near home for 6-7 years, mostly at night around 1 a.m. and continuing until daybreak, sometimes with a second higher-pitched voice. The sound is described as moving west to east past the house and back, triggering dogs and coyotes, and increasing with heavy plane traffic and hot humid nights. The witness recorded the sounds on a cell phone and suspects the source used the barn in winter.

Ongoing activity in a rural setting near Nestlow

On the evening of Feb. 16, 2009, the reporter's brother called to say he had seen an unknown figure in his yard near his chicken house.

Two dogs normally nearby were absent at the time.

Hunter sees creature through rifle scope

The witness was deer hunting in a thick pine area bordering a swamp in northeastern Pennsylvania in 1993 when he noticed a strong rotten smell.

He described it as man-like, about 5'10", wide and stocky with a slight limp, and said he was frightened and ran away once it was out of sight.
