Exec on business trip has sighting from balcony of hotel near Huntsville

From a sixth-floor hotel balcony before dawn, the witness watched a tall hair-covered biped for five to six minutes at a distance.

Afterward the witness fetched security and later returned in daylight to find fresh bark, deep ground indentations, and possible scat.

Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (2009)

While scouting for bear season in the same Minnesota swamp area, the witness was pushed from behind into the swamp. Turning, he saw a large but thin, mangy-looking human-like creature moving away 40 to 50 yards distant. As he left, it paralleled him for about a quarter mile, repeatedly stepping toward him then backing away with trembling shoulders and hands, curling its lip and displaying. A week later he returned, found a 14 3/4-inch track showing it had circled him, felt watched, and heard a loud double whistle near the old driveway.

Paranormal encounter near Chicago, Illinois (2009)

The witness was asked to check a woman's claim of a demon in her attic bedroom. During a daytime visit with a friend and a photographer, the woman duplicated his drawing exactly, an invisible barrier blocked him from entering the attic, the air turned cold, her eyes turned solid white, and he fled. Returning about ten days later, the house was gone and replaced by a gravel lot, and a neighbor said it had been torn down four years earlier.

Sasquatch sighting near Asheville, North Carolina (2008)

It glanced toward a second noise downhill, then left as the friends approached calling out, leaving the witness injured and shaken.

He left to get recording equipment, but the figure was gone when another researcher checked moments later.
