Footsteps near Cherokee, North Carolina (2024)

While hiking alone near sunset, the witness heard steps that stopped when he stopped. After waiting, he continued on an overgrown trail and heard something pacing him about 15 feet away though nothing was visible. The woods went silent, then something close by laughed like a hyena, and it followed him until near the mountaintop.

Possible activity experienced by campers at a popular campground in the Mount Hood National Forest

The witness and two companions camped in the Mt Hood National Forest with a barrel of animal entrails intended as bait. Over three days they reported loud screams from a nearby ridge, nighttime wood knocks, heavy steps and snapping twigs, and found their camp table apparently bitten through. They moved the bait pile away from camp, later found most of it missing with a wet sweet dog-like odor at the site.

Howl in Texas (2012)

The witness hiked with three relatives on a quiet day. They heard a tree shaking, distant talking or laughing, then after they made playful calls something very close yelled back and was partly recorded. As they reached the parking lot she heard a hollow rhythmic chest-beating sound.

2010–2012 (Removed), Mecosta County, Michigan Class B #35437

Family reports possible vocalizations and unexplained activity near Mecosta

On Monday evening 5/14 around 9pm at a relative's riverbank house, the relative noticed a roughly 9- to 10-foot limb protruding from the ground that had not appeared in panoramic photos taken earlier that day. The husband arrived shortly after, felt uneasy and heard rustling in the woods across the river before turning back, and the witness later joined him to inspect the stick and search for footprints without success. The relative suggested the limb may have fallen from a tree, while the witness doubted a natural placement.

Sasquatch sighting in Alabama (2008)

Three people camped in a remote area and did a live broadcast after one of them made calls. They noticed dark shapes near the campfire and vehicles, then realized a very tall creature stood about ten feet away staring at the closest person. The other two moved up behind that person, and after a brief look away the creature was gone.

While conducting sound survey project, two team members see Bigfoot

A team of four was conducting a nighttime sound survey from a clear-cut overlooking a river valley while one member did a live radio interview from a parked vehicle near the treeline. The interviewer heard repeated charging sounds, footfalls and a grunt-growl from dense brush a few feet away while two teammates uphill watched with a night-vision device. The uphill observers reported a huge 8-foot-plus figure about 25 feet away leaning side to side to look through the trees and moving its arms. The episode lasted about 30 minutes, followed later by a distant scream, and a next-day search found disturbed soil but no footprints.

March 2001 Twain Harte, Tuolumne County, California Class B #3072

BFRO Investigators detail activity around Twain Harte

Investigators found fresh broken trees, dozens of footprints and two nests where a trail crossed a road and staked out the spot. No creature was seen, but something large moving on two feet approached the stakeout before fleeing downhill through brush when a car passed. The sign was documented the next day with footprint and tree-break measurements and a body-length impression in one nest.

Fall 1987 Maple Falls, Whatcom County, Washington Class B #10258

Loud vocalizations repeatedly disturb family

The witness, then a child, was sleeping in the family's A-frame when very loud, high-pitched screams from behind the house woke the household. The father fired a handgun from a loft window and later used a spotlight, hearing something move away upslope but never seeing the source. Similar late-night screams recurred several times over the following week, and daytime searches found broken small trees and a rotten-egg smell but no tracks or other samples. The family moved away within a month.

Sasquatch sighting in West Virginia

Late at night the witness heard activity outside, put out a recorder, and heard rocks clacked together and an extremely loud branch break up the hill. He also saw a large upright human-shaped silhouette move quickly and silently between trees about 50 yards away. He concluded a second individual made the uphill sounds while the seen one moved downhill.

Wood knock in Ontario

The witness describes a fall investigation in a remote forest north of the city. A prior night vigil yielded stomps, calls, knocks and sounds of something circling camp. Follow-up reconnaissance found sharpened sticks staked across a game trail, tracks along a nearby river, and a very tall teepee structure the next day.

Parked at a gate in Washington at night, the group heard something in a creek and then a scream. Something broke branches climbing out of the creek toward the truck, followed by a massive display that sounded like it would slam into the truck, after which activity stopped.

Vocalization in Texas

Two researchers spent the afternoon and night at a remote gated pond campground. After daytime shooting and loud vehicle sounds stopped at dark, they heard long female-like woos answered by male-like moans, a heavy stomp, subtle brush movement, a guttural sound, and a heavy splash from a thrown log. Through night vision a companion reportedly saw five figures standing together across the water, prompting rapid packing and departure through the locked gate.

Vocalization in Texas

The guest and his partner returned to check a baited game camera and heard running that circled to both sides before stopping. The pair heard slow advancing steps alternating directions and loud deep barks that the guest felt in his chest. After about forty minutes as darkness approached, they left without seeing the sources.
