An account of bigfoot tool use

In childhood, the witness and a companion heard a thumping noise while playing and went to investigate. They saw a large hairy animal squatting nearby using pieces of firewood to dig in the ground. The animal stood up, bared its teeth silently, and walked toward them, causing them to flee into the companion's house. When an adult checked moments later, the animal was gone leaving only disturbed ground.

Man recalls being picked up as a child in Mohican Memorial Forest

When the witness was 5 years old and camping with his parents in central Ohio, he became lost in the woods. He claims a large hairy female creature picked him up, carried him quickly through the forest, and left him in camp with a heavy branch on his legs where his parents later found him. He says his parents dismissed his account as imagination and he did not share it widely for decades.

Witnesses hear, smell, and feel something large moving & walking right next to them

Late at night in heavy fog, the witness's wife went to the outhouse and encountered something very close that she heard moving and smelled strongly, then fled back inside. The witness went outside with a gun and flashlight but could see nothing in the fog, though he heard bipedal footsteps, noticed a strong odor, and heard a low screeching sound toward a relative's home. The next morning he found a barbed-wire fence broken down with nails pulled out but found no tracks or hair.

BFRO YEAR: 1989,1993 Essex County, New York Class A #1522

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.

BFRO YEAR: 1978-80 Prosperity, Washington County, Pennsylvania Class B #50123

Audio recording of possible screams, growls, and fight with a dog from the Late 70's near Prosperity

On a fall evening just before dusk, the witness, then a child, and the father were at their farm when the father heard a loud disturbance in a wooded valley below a field. The father took a tape recorder and walked toward the sounds of a loud growling/roaring creature apparently fighting a neighbor's dog while the child waited uphill by a feed trough. The creature was never seen because it was too dark in the woods, and the father returned uphill. The neighbor's dog was never seen again.

Loud scream heard by three witnesses.

Three bow hunters met in a field after dark while walking out. From a small woodlot about 70 yards away they twice heard a loud scream turning into a guttural growl with heavy breathing. One hunter briefly ran then returned, and the group left quickly after shining a weak light toward the sound without seeing anything.

Late at night in the same parked trailer, a rigged window that was held shut suddenly opened and slammed. A partner with a firearm went outside with a flashlight and saw nothing, while the witness heard heavy thumping footsteps like those heard earlier. Something struck the trailer hard enough to shake it and leave a large dent high on the curved aluminum.
