Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana

The guest and a companion were on a levee at night using thermals when the companion spotted a huge heat signature over 300 yards away. The guest saw a giant figure twice as large as a nearby cow turn, walk with swinging arms, pause to look, and enter the treeline by power poles. The thermal failed to record due to a chip malfunction, and next-day search found only large dried scuffs.

Growl in Alberta

The rider felt suddenly hot and euphoric and began removing clothing despite cold wet weather until companions arriving and splashing through water broke the state. Later on the same ride the group found very large fresh human-like footprints without claws in untouched mud.

With a friend he found the man's truck with doors open and windshield and hood caved in, a destroyed campsite with scattered food and gear, and varied large footprints. Following a heavy blood smear they recovered an empty rifle and sidearm and found body parts spread over many miles, including a torso with wide claw-like gashes, before authorities arrived and news reports blamed wolves.

Scream

The witness, a college volunteer helping with a search-and-rescue in heavy snow, hiked with two companions to a small work cabin atop Mount Macon and spent the night there.

By morning it was gone, leaving large indistinct impressions in the snow leading up to the cabin, after which the group hiked out.
