Odor in Oregon

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.

The witness and five family members were camping and fishing at a remote lake. In the evening rocks were thrown toward a brother across the lake, followed by mimicked voices, screams, growls and surrounding noises. A large live tree was pushed over and fast-moving silhouettes were seen around the camp. The group abandoned their gear and left after the brother, who had been paced in the woods, rejoined them at the car.

Structure or nest in Kentucky

The couple and their teenage son followed a game trail and found a canopy-like structure of stems and leaves with a lay area and several trees broken over seven feet high. On the way back they repeatedly heard something walking with them that stopped when they stopped. From a field below they had small rocks land near them several times and left as it got dark.

Two people were outside a shelter in the Sierras fixing dinner at dusk. They heard pounding, limb breaking and whooping that moved closer, which previously had only happened when they were inside. One of them yelled back mimicking the sounds.

Tree break near Nowata, Oklahoma

A few days after placing a stand near the river hollow, the hunters found a large healthy oak broken off several feet above the ground. The trunk was too thick for two people to reach around and had snapped rather than uprooted. They could not explain it by wind at the time.

Tree break in Oklahoma

A couple days after placing another stand, the hunters found a large healthy oak snapped off about four to five feet above ground rather than uprooted. The trunk was so thick two people could not reach around it and the witness crawled under it. At the time it was dismissed as wind, which the witness now doubts.

Dogman sighting near Lipan, Texas

At his uncle's hillside house at night the adults saw something moving trees and went with guns to look. In a flashlight beam the witness saw a huge tall creature distinguished by massive upright pointed ears. His uncle fired a shotgun and it gave the same loud girthy scream heard on the Fourth of July, after which his father carried him running back to the house.

Growl in Virginia

After getting a new puppy that alerted in panic, the guest followed it to the side deck and leaned over the edge. Something directly in front of her gave a loud huff-growl she felt physically, though she saw nothing despite a flashlight. A branch then snapped high in the tall trees to her left and fell, after which the dog had already fled inside and she backed inside.

Tracks near Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After moving to a remote wooded property, the family found a very clear large human-like footprint with toes that was photographed with a tape measure. On separate occasions the child experienced a rock thrown past him near a creek, faint whooping, small trees moving together, a high scream-like whoop followed by a tree being pushed over, and the adults heard trees breaking and splashing into a pond. Dogs that normally chase sounds fled back to the house during these events.

Footsteps near Sweet Home, Oregon

The witness was scouting remote mountain roads for fishing access when he found a newly placed stacked rock pile blocking the road. After stopping to inspect it, he heard something charge down the steep slope toward him and stop when he drew his pistol, then parallel him back to his vehicle unseen. He returned later with a hunting partner and heard coordinated whoops from multiple positions, and a few days later with a larger group found extensive tree damage, possible structures, and three sizes of bare human-like tracks.

Whoop in Georgia

As teenagers the witness and friends camped and hiked up a reputedly haunted mountain at night to look for a cabin. They were paralleled on both sides, heard whoops and powerful wood knocks and branches being ripped, then a large tree was pushed over close to them and they fled. The running camcorder captured the sounds and briefly illuminated two large almond-shaped red eyes that narrowed and turned away before the tree fell.

Movement only near Port Townsend, Washington

While elk hunting, the witness and a companion made camp on a widened logging road at dusk. They heard movement in three spots around them, then a single extremely loud branch snap like a gunshot from about seven to eight feet up directly behind the witness. Both fled to the truck, where the companion loaded a rifle and insisted lights stay off, and the next morning the area was silent.
