The witness and three companions were hunting deer at dusk in brushy river bottomland.

Hiker see prints and hears sounds in the Trinity Alps

The witness was camped beside a creek during a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike when he heard low voice-like sounds coming from opposite ridges. Feeling uneasy as he also heard limbs and sticks breaking on the ridgeline, he broke camp and hiked out by moonlight. The next morning at a side creek he found vegetation slid down and up where something had crossed, with one large clear footprint in a sandbar, which he photographed with his foot alongside for scale.

The guest relayed his father's account of a night when the family was home while the grandfather was away hauling freight. After a foul odor and prolonged barking by the guard dog, a long loud vocalization was heard, the dog was apparently dragged from under the chicken-coop camper, and three household members separately reported red eyes staring through windows. By morning the dog was dead and mutilated, all chickens were gone with feathers and footprints scattered, and the coop hatch had been opened from underneath.

Sitting on the deck around 5:30 in the morning, the witness heard a large-lunged wailing sound then branches scraping the barn and a large presence the dog fled from. Later that morning his brother found gigantic footprints by the mailbox and his father tracked 18-inch prints going north to the neighbor's then back south to the barn, suggesting something had watched him.

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.

Growl near Lee County

The guest and one fellow investigator camped in a research area in Lee County chosen after a Dogman report. They heard a growl, a distant tree fall, and something running around camp that was too fast to pinpoint on thermal, then found X-shaped tree structures without roots. On later visits team members saw a large dark humanoid with a conical head peek from behind a tree, found broken branches, and heard loud peacock-like bird sounds with nothing visible.

Sasquatch sighting near Burkeville, Texas

The witness returned to the property late at night and saw a tall, less-hairy creature pacing across the road bent over with long arms. It threw a large log that narrowly missed, while another presence moved to the side.

Sasquatch sighting in Virginia

With her husband home, the guest heard a loud owl overhead answered from across the driveway by a second owl-like call that cracked. She took burst phone photos toward the woodline in the dark and on brightening saw a boxy standing figure looking toward her. The next morning she found deadfall trees newly lined along the driveway and tested that stepping over the line triggered the garage motion light, concluding the line marked the light's boundary.

After about 30 days of asking biblical questions, the witness and relatives drove back to the spot and found the creature crouched like a coach with arms on thighs under flashlights. It stood about eight and a half feet tall, looked at them, walked away, then stopped when spoken to before grunting and a small white juvenile came out barking like a dog.
