Tribal government employee photographs line of tracks in snow

A witness visited a highway south of Mandaree a day after hearing of a reported sighting and found a long line of large footprints in snow running parallel to the road. The trackway was estimated at over 200 prints with a long stride. Photos taken two days after the tracks were made showed only large round impressions because warm weather had melted detail.

Surveyor has daytime encounter in the Tehachapi Mtns near Frazier Park

The witness was driving slowly along a ridge-line dirt road during a boundary survey at midday when a black figure was spotted among trees.

Huge animal screams and circles campsite at Finger Lake Park

Four people were camping around a campfire at Rocky Fork Lake in July 2004 when a large animal came from the woods to the south, circled the campsite three times at close range, and ran toward the lake emitting a high-pitched howl and pig-like squeals before running behind the camp. The group later noticed smeared foot impressions at the site, but rain had obscured detail and no identifiable evidence was preserved.

Possible tracks found by snowshoers near Steamboat Springs

The witness and a companion were snowshoeing off trail and became stuck in a steep ravine.

Possible track and vocalizatons at Table Rock Lake

The witness reports finding a single large human-like footprint in mud at the back of a lake cove while scouting for animal sign. The print was much larger and deeper than his own tracks and sat isolated in the washout, leading him to infer a difficult leap between rocky shorelines unlikely for a barefoot human. He notes the find alongside earlier strange vocalizations, while acknowledging mundane explanations remain possible.

Mountain runner spots large, deep footprints on Stuart Fork Trail in Trinity Alps

The prints were estimated at about 15 inches long and over four feet apart and appeared much deeper than nearby boot prints, with debris pressed into them. The witness photographed the prints but noted the trail gets heavy use, suggested a prank or overlapping boot prints as likely, and stated he does not believe in Bigfoot.
