Possible activity at a home outside Queen City

A child riding a toy vehicle in the backyard told a relative to come see something, but a relative hurried over and the thing was already gone.

The family questioned the child and believed she had seen something unusual, and she has since avoided the spot.

The witness states he leaves the scene whenever the screaming occurs, interpreting it as a warning when getting too close.

Hikers are startled by unusual sounds in Staunton State Park

The witness and a companion were resting quietly on a rocky outcropping during a daytime hike when they heard a low growl-like exhalation immediately followed by a higher-pitched whoop from the forest below. The sounds were attributed to a single unseen animal about 30-40 yards away that seemed startled by a passing mountain biker. They searched the area a few minutes later but found nothing and heard nothing further.

Mushroom picking couple scared out of a forest near Wilkeson

A couple were picking mushrooms in dense old-growth forest in the afternoon when they heard crunching and repeated loud thumping likened to wood knocks from about 100 yards away.

Hunter's dusk sighting of a sasquatch on the Kickapoo (KS) Indian Reservation

While bow hunting at dusk near a field and tree line, the witness stood to leave and saw a tall figure approaching that was first mistaken for a companion. As it closed to about 100 yards and stopped by a hay bale, the witness realized it was much taller and powerfully built with a high neckless head and long muscular arms, moving silently. The witness moved toward the tree line to avoid being silhouetted, then retreated to a truck and slapped the tailgate, after which the figure dropped to all fours and disappeared within seconds.

October 2014 Buhl MN, St. Louis County, Minnesota Class B #46817

Hunter scouting locations has a possible encounter near Buhl

The witness was walking north on an old railroad track through swamp while hunting when howls from the woods paralleled the movement. About a half mile ahead a large black figure was seen in the road, initially thought to be a bear. As the witness closed to about 100 yards the figure stood upright on two legs, moved into a ditch and tall grass, pausing to sway and look back toward the road while howling continued, before leaving into the swamp. Feeling nervous and sensing another presence behind, the witness left the area.

Whoop near Wellsville, New York (2014)

While the first witness was upslope, the other two hunters several hundred yards away along the same ravine heard whoops, loud rapid tree knocks, owls that turned into chicken and pig sounds, rock clacking replies, and large limbs popping in mature pines. They joked about the sounds at the time as bored owls and dismissed them. They later interpreted them as intelligent mimicry and communication coming up out of the ravine.

Sasquatch sighting near Wellsville, New York (2014)

While hunting turkey alone along a driveway, the witness stalked what looked like a turkey to a ravine shelf, felt watched, then turned and saw a tall reddish-brown upright blur retreat very close behind him. He could not explain it as deer or bird because it made no noise. He moved to the open driveway and then heard extremely loud rapid tree knocks.

Father and son experience "disappearing stump" on Carmen Creek Road while scouting for deer during the day outside the city of Salmon

The witness and his son were driving on a rough road while hunting for deer late in the day. The witness stopped to scan a ridge about 300 yards away and saw a large dark standing figure near a tree that they joked looked like Bigfoot but assumed was a stump. After driving to a dead end and returning less than three minutes later, the figure was gone. The witness remains uncertain what it was and is not convinced it was Bigfoot.
