Wood knock in California (2011)

The guest backpacked alone into the remote Sierra camp where the Sierra Sounds were recorded to see if activity continued. During the afternoon he heard a loud wood knock outside his tent, and that night he heard chatter, a barrel being banged, loud bipedal footsteps circling, and breathing right beside the tent. After a quiet interval he heard an unexplained electronic sound outside at 4 a.m. He left the next morning convinced the group was still present.

Silhouette in Arkansas (2011)

While road hunting with a spotlight, the witness and a friend spotted eyes and a dark silhouette in a field and the friend shot it with a .22. It did not flee but rocked side to side, screamed extremely loudly, and stepped toward them. They left when another truck approached. Next day they found blood and realized it had stood in a deep ditch, implying tall height.

July 2009 Bothell/Woodinville, Snohomish County, Washington Class B #30670

Night time foot race with an unseen animal near Woodinville

Late at night the witness walked home alone along a familiar wooded trail and heard something moving parallel in the brush, breathing heavily.

At the house the witness's dog confronted the unseen pursuer, which halted very close before withdrawing into the brush.
