Large footprint find, large creature witnessed by a school bus driver

Two relatives living on a farm reported a strong odor in their dairy barn followed by footprints in the barn lot leading toward dense forest. A few days later additional tracks were found near a creek and plaster casts were made. At the time the residents said they had never heard of Bigfoot and interpreted the activity as contact with some kind of giant.

Woman & her horse have a daytime encounter, near Keystone State Park

The witness was riding a pony bareback on a back road when the animal stopped at the top of a hill. About 400 feet ahead, a large reddish-brown hairy biped with very long arms was walking toward them on the road. The pony reared, turned, and bolted back downhill to a nearby yard. Later the witness returned with a relative, who found broken branches where the creature appeared to have left the road for the woods.

He saw an ape-like animal outside the fence, fired into the air, and watched it stand up with its shoulders and head above the 6-foot fence before fleeing through bushes toward the woods. Footprints were left only in soft dirt by the bushes and one was preserved as a plaster cast.

Two friends get spooked by a possible encounter near Norris Lake

Two companions rode an ATV to a clearing by a lake and built a large fire at night. Over the evening they heard deliberate footfalls, pacing and stick breaks in the treeline about sixty yards away and noticed the woods go silent. After the witness knocked on a tree and made a whoop call, they heard knocks in reply and then a long deep guttural growl. They rode toward the sound without seeing anything, then put out the fire and left feeling watched and frightened.

Howl in Texas

Sitting at camp after dark, the group heard a series of loud howl-scream-growl vocals that started hundreds of yards away and came much closer in paced intervals. The tellers said it sounded like a werewolf from a movie and unlike coyote or wolf behavior. A track was later found and cast about 100 yards from camp.

The witness reports vivid memory of the event and recurring dreams about it.

Vocalization in Ohio

Woken by crashing and the dog barking, the witness heard a juvenile on the porch beating the deck and plucking the air conditioner while an adult gave gibberish instructions and the juvenile answered with tongue clicks. Then something wailed on the dog box. In the morning he found a twisted tree, shredded sapling and tracks and made a cast. With a flashlight he saw something large and black moving up the hill.

Researchers visiting the property over about two years reported finding different-sized footprints, thermal-video figures that popped up and down in grass, rocks thrown while hiking, wood knocks and rock clacks, and a juvenile crouched in grass that one researcher approached. They interpret size differences as four individuals including two juveniles and two adults. They also collected casts, audio, and other trace evidence.

Sasquatch sighting in Missouri

Less than a month before the interview four researchers walked across a grassy field on a Missouri property at night to retrieve footprint casts. The guest stopped to scan with a thermal camera and recorded a round bright head rising from tall grass by the creek. It dropped and reappeared four times, then vanished, and a later visit found a wallowed grass shelter opening to the creek where a comparison man's head looked half as large.

Tracks near Island Park

When the witness was 12, he went with his father and others to build a fishing pond by blasting a small canyon near Island Park. The next morning he and his father walked down and found large bare footprints in fresh mud on a game trail. The prints measured about 16 and three-quarter inches long with about a 45-inch step, ran about 75 yards across the mud and continued about 200 yards before the adults decided to turn back. One landowner later covered a print and made casts, which the witness never saw.
