A driver rounding an uphill hairpin turn noticed a tall hairy human-like figure standing behind trees on the hillside above the road.

BFRO Investigator obtains first thermal footage (very brief) outside Phillips

The witness camped alone for several nights using a thermal imager. On the fourth night an object was thrown near the tent, then a heat signature was seen peeking over brush along a trail.

BFRO Investigator videotapes encounter in Daniel Boone National Forest

An investigator hiked with two companions to the top of a rocky ridge at night to look into recurring activity. While the companions scanned with night vision and a camcorder, the investigator illuminated a sasquatch-like figure standing close below the rocks with a headlamp and watched it withdraw and walk away. The companions recorded eyeshine in the opposite direction, suggesting a second animal, and the group heard footsteps following them as they descended. They later reviewed the tape and confirmed eyeshine had been recorded.

Backpacker's moonlit encounter near the trail from Wright's Lake to Enchanted Pools

While camping alone at night near a stream, the witness heard a deep growl and saw a crouched dark mass at the treeline, fired warning shots, then heard rocks repeatedly splashing in the stream for hours and heard deep oof sounds on a later approach. Near dawn a very tall hair-covered female-like figure stood by the tent and walked rapidly toward the witness despite additional warning shots, then ran away over granite and out of sight. The witness remained in place until daylight and then hiked out.

June 2003 Lake McDonald, Glacier County, Montana Class B #12636

Video taken of running biped near Avalanche in Glacier National Park

The witness was traveling through Glacier National Park in 2003 and recorded video from a tourist bridge over a river. Nothing was noticed at the time, but months later during tape review the witness saw a small figure moving downhill through trees on the far bank. A copy was sent for review, described as an apparent biped running downhill, pausing briefly behind trees before leaving sight, with very little detail due to distance.

Happy Camp local named Tara claims multiple observations. She is not credible

Late at night the witness noticed the apple tree at the far corner of the yard shaking violently. After a brief check with a night-vision scope that revealed nothing, the witness looked again and saw the upper portion of a tall, hairy, human-like figure walking toward the creek past tall berry bushes. The figure was backlit by a neighboring porch light, showing a large rounded head on very large rounded shoulders with little neck.

Youths see unknown hairy primate staring at them from distance

Six companions walking in riverside woods around 12:30 a.m. saw a large furry creature crouched behind a bush between two trees, holding a tree and peering at them. When they turned on a camera light they saw red eyeshine and fled in fear. The video did not capture the creature, and later daytime return visits found bones, fur, and a dead deer nearby.

1 July 2000 Octavia, Le Flore County, Oklahoma Class A #1302

Brief sighting by a fisherman ; Tracks found ; Report from investigators.

The witness was fishing downstream from family members when he briefly saw the lower legs of a dark figure stepping from the creek onto the bank and into dense brush. He searched the spot and found wet marks on rocks, disturbed soil, and dung, which companions helped videotape. He concluded the figure was unlikely to be human given the remote, rugged terrain.

Sasquatch sighting in California

A trail camera set for drug-trafficking surveillance far back in the forest was found ripped off its tree. The short video appears to show a bipedal animal deliberately covering the camera with handfuls of leaves. The officer who retrieved it did not know what to make of it but said it was not a bear.

Tracks

On the first night the group found many tracks of three sizes and cast the clearest ones. Returning after dark they got a thermal hit about 50 yards away near the creek showing a back on all fours and a head and shoulder. They filmed several minutes and next day found the travel path and recreated the position.

Sasquatch sighting

The guest and two companions sat at a creek bed late at night with thermal imagers, one recording through a phone. They watched a figure slowly lean from behind a tree showing a cone-shaped head, shoulder and arm, withdraw, reappear, then a second similar figure appear about 20 to 25 feet away. After one companion hiked out, he radioed that he heard a whoop and felt followed.
