Sasquatch sighting near Springfield, Pennsylvania (1906)

Residents reported a hair-covered animal sometimes upright and sometimes moving on all fours at racehorse speed with a leaping stride.

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.

BFRO YEAR: 1985 - '87 McKean County, Pennsylvania Class B #3570

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.

Possible collision with vehicle outside Homestead

He saw a car with a crushed front fender and overheard officers remark that no one could have walked away from such an impact and about a bear moving unusually. He did not see any animal himself but later heard a radio news report saying the driver claimed to have hit a Florida Skunk Ape that officers chased into a thicket.

Property disturbance near Interlochen, Florida

After dogs began digging out, the witness found a section of four-foot chain-link top rail bent down into a V nearly touching the ground. He judged dogs could not bend it by hand and there had been no storm or fallen tree. Police had no explanation and the witness briefly suspected an attempted break-in.
