Footsteps in Ontario

While serving as rear patrol member at night in a training area, the witness heard something following and then flanking the patrol. The patrol stopped, smelled a musty swampy odor, and performed a break-contact drill firing blanks while running to extraction. The commander later dismissed it as probably a bear.

Footsteps near Meeker, Colorado

The following year the witness camped in the backcountry with two relatives. Around 2 a.m. he woke to heavy padded footsteps walking near the tent that stopped and resumed. The next morning while separated by a creek he twice heard loud breaking several hundred yards up the slope, and the group saw no game on that side of the mountain.

Movement only near Wellsville, New York

The night after Christmas the witness watched from a gas well across the valley as dozens of small pin lights moved along the ridge and dropped into the valley. Later from the truck near the first sighting area he watched a beach-ball-size bluish light and then a basketball-size yellow-orange light move intelligently six to ten feet off the ground around trees, pause at the ravine edge, and drop over, casting almost no light despite brightness. Companions asleep in the truck did not see them.

Growl near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend the witness was leaning back on a four-wheeler with a rifle across his lap near the ravine edge when he heard close rock clacking ahead. Then from about fifty feet behind him in the forest came an extremely loud escalating bark-growl-roar that shook the vehicle and his body. A younger companion walking the ravine edge within fifty yards reportedly did not hear it at all.

Wood knock near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend on opening morning of rifle season, the witness was in a tree stand near the first encounter spot at false dawn feeling emotional about a friend. He heard a very close rapid tree knock like an alarm, close enough that he felt he should see the source, but blurred vision prevented seeing anything.

Structure or nest near Wellsville, New York

After the initial encounter the witnesses explored a hidden bench on the hillside and found what they described as clear tree structures, including a three to four inch sapling wrapped and bent around another tree with broken branches and sticks pushed in. They felt it could not be natural and required hands and thought.

Property disturbance near Wellsville, New York

On returning the next weekend, the witnesses found a large rotten log about 12-14 feet long wedged three feet off the ground between two trees across the only driven part of the driveway like a gate. No stump or treetop was found nearby, and it was too heavy to lift with a tractor loader, so the farmer cut it out. They felt it had been placed.

Eyeshine near Wellsville, New York

On driving into the hilltop camp at night, the witness shone a spotlight across a pasture and saw two huge red eyeshine like taillights up in a tree. When he flicked the light to a bedded deer and back, the red shine was gone. At the time they dismissed it as two owls together.

Footsteps near White County

The witness and a companion camped separately in the North Georgia mountains after spilling bacon grease near a creek. At night the companion reported heavy footsteps, a large outline at the treeline, and large hairy bodies passing the tent while the tent was shaken violently. In the morning they found concentrated large footprints at the grease spill and the witness's own camp trashed.

Property disturbance near Lake County

The witness's father hung two large slabs of wild hog meat on high hooks under the roof rafters to cure overnight and brought them inside each morning. One morning both slabs were gone without torn meat, bent hooks, drag marks, or mess, and the family's dogs would not approach the spot and had barked not at all overnight. The witness speculates the creature seen earlier may have taken the meat.

At age 12 or 13 while exploring alone along a cliff top, the witness heard low grunts and rocks rolling below. Looking over the edge, he saw a very large hair-covered creature crouched on two legs overturning large rocks with its arms and hands. Startled, he ran back to his group.

A group fishing and swimming from a sandbar noticed a large hairy human-like figure on a distant limestone cliff ledge. The figure jumped between ledges and waved its arms for 5 to 10 minutes, then jumped into a gully and disappeared. The group later hiked to the area but found no tracks in the rocky terrain.

Vocalization in Nebraska

While filming in Nebraska with three others making a hair trap, the guest felt an uncomfortable electrical-like energy in the woods. On editing he found a recorded voice he presents as Native American speech about shedding hair and grease, plus a distant hey-like yell heard at the time. He leaves interpretation to viewers but says it changed his view on non-natural aspects.
