Growl near Lisbon, Louisiana

After leaving a fishing rod wedged in a tree over baited pond channels overnight, they returned at dawn to find the rod gone. At the base of the tree in murky water they saw a large heel-shaped depression with skin-line detail. They first suspected the grandfather had taken the rod as a prank, but he denied it.

Vocalization in South Carolina

Two friends squirrel hunting in a fenced former fox-training woods noticed total wildlife silence, then a foul odor, then a loud roar accompanied by a large pine falling in the distance. The ground shook when the tree hit and they fled to the grandfather's farmhouse. The grandfather laughed and used a local term for a wild hairy creature.

Vocalization

Around 2 a.m. the guest heard clicking and movement around tents and vehicles. After hours of activity, something lifted a Dutch oven lid, charged 30 feet, pushed a fist through his tent window and then pushed its face inches from his. He held a pistol, heard a voice telling him to kick his legs, did so, and the group left chirping. Urine, prints and handprints were found.

Sasquatch sighting in Texas

The witness, then a teenager, drove to a ranch at night to hunt raccoons with a dog. The dog acted fearful, livestock were huddled, and the woods were silent before a foul odor, heavy thumps, a branch break, growls and a scream occurred. The witness then saw large red eyes and a huge upright figure at close range, froze in terror and prayed, then fled to the truck without clear memory of the retreat, later finding the dog on the road and abandoning the rifle.

Movement only near Mount Shasta, California

The guest was canoeing with a church youth group near Mount Shasta when the group felt they were being followed along the bank and smelled a bad odor. A basketball-sized rock was thrown with great force from dense cover and landed near his canoe, prompting leaders to flee. Years later he learned a boy in another canoe had seen a head show its teeth then withdraw, which he now attributes to a Sasquatch.

Sasquatch sighting in Ohio

After smoke from a burn drew a fast rush up the ridge, the witness lit fires to watch. Through a parabolic viewfinder he watched a tall dark-red creature leaning against a tree for about 15 minutes. It rolled its upper lip, had long cheek hair and a strong sulfur musty dog smell that left when it left.

After finding a platform of lodged trees over the ravine where a creature watched the dog, the witness urinated there to mark it.

The guest and three companions camped several days in remote central Oregon to look into Bigfoot. They smelled a skunky BO odor, felt something brush tents, found large and human-sized barefoot prints, heard human-like grunts, found torn branches and an uprooted tree, had apples taken from high up with sticker skin peeled, and saw a bulky dark figure at the treeline captured as a blurry night-vision still. They left early due to bad weather.

Woman tells of her husband's close encounter as a young man with "The Hermit" near Huntsville

About 1960, the submitter's husband and two school friends were spending a weekend night inside a relative's cabin when they felt watched and saw a tall hair-covered figure silhouetted by the open refrigerator light. The boys shouted and split up to flee to the car, with the husband reporting something running close behind him that he could hear breathing and smell strongly like moldy skunk. In hindsight he wondered whether the figure was also fleeing and had simply taken the same path.

After his vehicle became stuck in snow on a high peak in February, the witness hiked miles at night to get cell reception and arrange a rescue. During the hike he found a freshly torn small coyote skull with no tracks, smelled skunk that vanished, and heard sounds like large trucks with no roads nearby. Weeks later his lost emergency locator showed movement and an SOS, and searches found a branch nest with a large X nearby and a trail camera that later disappeared.
