Afternoon sighting by dog walker in Whitehall

The witness was walking a dog in daylight near woods when a dark brown creature stood up from behind a tractor-trailer. The witness left quickly while glancing back as the creature walked smoothly toward the forest with a fluid, unhurried movement. The creature was described as over six feet tall and slender with a cone-shaped head, no neck, broad shoulders, long arms and hairy hands and legs, with no odor or sound noticed. Footprints and a bedding area were reportedly found nearby in the following days.

Motorist sighting at night approx 2 miles from NY/VT state line outside Whitehall

Late at night while driving to help a friend, the witness saw what first looked like logs on the roadside. On closer approach it appeared as a dark hair-covered figure seen from behind, which stepped easily over a roadside railing and went down into the woods toward power lines. The next day footprints at the spot were cast during a site visit with a local researcher.

Man recounts childhood incident at his home on Oneida Lake

The witness, age 11 at the time, was in bed when a large shadow was cast on the bedroom wall from outside the window for about 20 to 30 seconds. A few minutes later the witness heard the back storage room door being ripped off and sounds of ransacking, including the freezer being opened and heavy objects moved. The next morning the storage room was found in disarray with the door off, faint scratches without tool marks, and frozen foods missing.
