1980–1983 Grayson, Carter County, Kentucky Class B #1850

Man relates series of events over several years after seeing a report posted from 3-4 miles away

The witness lived on wooded acreage in the early 1980s and reported ongoing strange activity over several years. He described finding a pole teepee structure and twisted saplings, hearing distant whistle-like sounds and whistling on the hill, seeing red and green eyeshine at night, pursuing unseen footsteps in snow without finding tracks, and having rocks and wood thrown. He stated he never had a clear sighting but concluded an intelligent, elusive presence lived nearby.

1980–1981 New Jersey #0303c0f7-cf80-404b-ae8e-4e525e901be2

Sasquatch sighting in New Jersey (1980)

The witness was hiking with companions through woods toward a familiar spring when they noticed a large dome-shaped structure woven from vegetation beside a water-filled fire cut, with a partially consumed deer carcass inside. Shortly after examining the carcass from across the cut, the group heard movement and saw a very tall, muscular, reddish-brown hair-covered being standing in the open about 30 to 40 feet away. The being emitted an extremely loud, escalating scream that the witness felt in the chest, then lunged toward the group. The group fled back along the trail without looking back until reaching near home, and did not report the event to family at the time.

July 1979 Abington, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Class B #8972

Possible vocalizations heard by residents in the "Bridgewater Triangle"

In July 1979 the witness reports hearing very loud howling and screaming approaching through dense woods behind the house on three consecutive nights. Each episode involved repeated 20-30 second vocalizations with loud crashing through brush, while other night sounds stopped. On the third night the witness turned on roof floodlights when the source was behind the house; the sound stopped briefly then crashed away quickly in the opposite direction. The witness did not see the source and reports hearing nothing similar after 1979.

September 1977 Ranger, Eastland County, Texas Class B #56212

Memory told of a scary, daytime encounter while frog hunting near Ranger

In 1977 two companions hunting frogs at a remote pond heard a roar and saw trees moving. One saw a large brown hairy form partly hidden behind a cedar tree and swaying. Both fled on foot while hearing heavy thuds, and one saw a large rock bouncing nearby. A few days later they returned and found a cleared limb bed and a limb torn from a mesquite tree, but no footprints due to rocky ground.

Summer 1976 Aurora, Portage County, Ohio Class B #4966

Large footprints, area of matted grass and sounds of bipedal footsteps noted along shores of Aurora Lake

The witness and a companion hiked through a creek bed to a long-visited spot in the woods. They found a large area where tall weeds and trees had been matted down into a bed-like clearing with outer vegetation bent outward. While examining it they heard heavy bipedal footsteps and breaking twigs approaching through dense foliage but could not see the source. They retreated to the road while the unseen source followed at a distance, staying about 100 feet away.

17 January 1972 Between Rio Grande And Centerville., Gallia County, Ohio Class B #63178

A couple is escorted out of the forest after finding a possible nesting area near Rio Grande

The witness and his wife returned in late January to a rock grotto where he had earlier found a possible bedding area. They found the bed intact but an old wagon moved from a ledge with drag marks in the rock. As they hiked out through a ravine, unseen actors on both ridges followed them for about an hour with knocks, whistles and other vocalizations, shaking and snapping saplings and throwing rocks until the pair reached the woods edge. Neither reported seeing anything.

30 August 1968 Leavenworth, Chelan County, Washington Class B #925

Backpacker observes a tall, early morning visitor in camp

The witness and a companion camped near a lake after the rest of their party failed to arrive. After hearing scream-like sounds earlier in the evening, the witness lay awake and watched a tall figure move behind a windbreak, squat to rummage through a pack, then stand and walk away. The witness woke the companion, who did not see the figure but both heard movement in the trees. In the morning the pack contents were scattered and only cookies were missing from their package.

BFRO YEAR: 85-present Whittemore, Iosco County, Michigan Class B #14854

Possible ongoing activity outside Whittemore

The witness reports recurring nighttime activity over many years at her parents' wooded property. She and others hear footsteps pacing them along the tree line, loud crashing movement, screeching sounds and cracking noises, often accompanied by a strange smell. Family members and visitors have also reported red eyeshine and ape-like figures, and large footprints were found in snow. An investigator later visited, interviewed family members and noted unusual stick and vegetation features in the woods.

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.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon

[name withheld] and a friend, ages about 10-11, were hiking unsupervised from an expedition base camp in the Cascades when they found drag marks and a crude log teepee structure.

The group stayed the night under guard and were told something large circled camp all night before they evacuated at dawn.

about a week later Henderson, Nevada #86f56ecd-7627-44c6-89c4-5af83318a400

Sasquatch sighting near Henderson, Nevada

About a week after the first sighting, three teens were in the desert with laser pointers and saw the tall black figure again. They brought the father back in the truck and all saw it in the headlights by the barricades as it walked then ran and vanished. Parked by a substation they heard very loud heavy running they could not see, then heard a deep loud roar several times and left.
