Two deer hunters experience a likely week-long encounter near Nashport

Two companions camped while hunting for five days near Dillon State Park. On successive nights they heard tree knocks from multiple directions, whistles, whoops, loud yells and screams that approached the camp, growling near the camper, and banging on vehicles in a nearby junkyard. By day they found numerous large human-like footprints in a shallow spillway and on a sandy bank, which they photographed with boots for scale. They reported no visual sighting but concluded the sounds and tracks were from a large, athletic creature.

In the morning stacked rocks were gone, footprints were found, and a large pine by the carcass had been pushed over.

Motorist observes an adult Bigfoot with a baby cross the road at night North of Bedford

Late at night the witness was driving on a rural road when headlights revealed two hairy figures beside a mailbox and gravel driveway. An adult-sized figure put a child-sized figure down on the ground and remained stooped over as if to protect it, while the child looked directly at the car. The witness did not stop and later found footprints in gravel at the spot the next day.

Hiking family finds possible track off trail outside Estes Park

A family of four was hiking and identifying animal tracks in a forested mountain area when the husband found a single large footprint off the trail. The print was about 13.5 to 14 inches long and about half an inch deep, with possible toe impressions, and crossed perpendicular to the trail. The husband could not leave a comparable impression in the same vicinity. The family photographed the print with a boot for scale, felt uneasy, and continued on without seeing or hearing anything that could have made it.

Campers have possible encounter while staying in High Point State Park

During the night and again after dawn they repeatedly heard a loud aggressive exhale-like sound nearby, along with footsteps and branches breaking as something moved through the forest, followed by scream-like sounds that turned into chatter. In daylight they found a matted vegetation bed, a fresh flattened trail, and footprints in mud where the sounds had come from. The entity itself was never seen.
