Young Woman Observes Large Biped in a Field east of Pittsburgh

The witness was sitting outside at night talking on the phone when she heard movement in nearby woods and then noticed a strange odor.

The next morning she and a relative found flattened grass, clearings, and tracks leading into the woods but were too frightened to follow them.

Early morning sighting on Vancouver Island near Cowichan Lake

The witness described a tall, dark-haired, unclothed biped with lighter patches on its back and rump that never looked back. Later that day the witness found and photographed indistinct footprints at the site.

Driver sees running figure along road at night near Woodlake

The witness and companion were driving north at night when they saw a tall, silvery-white bipedal figure running south along the woods edge, then turning east into dense woods about fifteen feet away during a roughly three-second view. The figure was described as slender and athletic, about seven feet tall, with flowing hair on the arms and fast, graceful movement. The next morning they found 20 to 30 tracks of two sizes with visible toes in soft muddy ground nearby, but no photos were taken and rain likely washed the tracks away.

April 2006 Montgomery, Montgomery County, Texas Class B #14795

Print found in Sam Houston National Forest along Lone Star Hiking Trail

The witness and his father were hiking a loop trail back toward their car when the witness noticed a single barefoot-like impression in soft ash. The print showed toe outlines and an arch, felt as soft as the surrounding ash, and was larger than the witness's own foot. The surrounding ground was harder and held no other prints, and the witness jumping nearby left no impression. The witness concluded no person would be walking barefoot there and considered the print non-human.
