Sasquatch sighting in Kentucky (2020)

The witness was driving at night to a cabin to quarantine after testing positive for illness. A buck walked into the road and stared toward a tree line instead of at the vehicle. The witness then noticed orange eyeshine and a large dark creature moving low like a spider, which rose onto two legs and chased the deer out of headlight range. After stopping, the witness heard a loud crash in the woods on the opposite side and drove away.

Humanoid figure spotted at night near Octagon Hall during paranormal investigation

During a nighttime paranormal investigation, two people walked to a tree clump in open fields after hearing about a sighting the night before. After making whoop and howl sounds and hearing possible distant replies, they watched a tall dark human-like silhouette peer from behind a tree 30-40 yards away and sway side to side for several minutes. When they tried to approach, the figure disappeared, and checking the tree revealed nothing to explain what they had seen.

Hunter gets investigated while in his blind outside Bagdad

The witness settled into a 6-foot ground blind before daylight to deer hunt. Something stepped over a nearby fence and approached with heavy footsteps, then breathed, sniffed and pressed down on the top of the blind. After the witness shouted a warning, the sniffing paused then resumed more aggressively before the visitor circled the blind and left toward the woods without being seen.

Pedestrian has nighttime sighting along the Red River

Around 2:30 a.m. on a clear night, the witness was walking home along a road paralleling a river when a strong bad odor and a loud splash drew attention to the water. About 60 feet away, a large, broad-shouldered, dark, long-haired figure stood upright in the river and appeared to be fishing, moving, splashing, and pausing to look around. The witness watched for several minutes while continuing down the road before leaving the area.

Man describes encounter at a strip mine near Whitesburg

The witness was working overnight security at a remote strip mine and was resting in the guard shack during heavy rain. He heard crunching beside the shack, saw a shadow move toward the door, and something pulled on the door. After he shouted, he heard a terrifying screaming howl and the pulling intensified, so he heated a poker as a threat until it went quiet, then ran to his car where he remained the rest of the night.

Scream near Owensboro, Kentucky (2000)

As a teenager living on his mother's horse farm, the guest repeatedly heard loud dawn screams and movement near the trash burn pit. One snowy night the household arrived to find the porch light out and heard a whimpering cry and heavy bipedal steps moving around the house and into the woods, followed by a loud hiss that shook the horse barn where a large dog was chained. The next morning the family found large barefoot-like tracks in snow leading from the driveway around the house and over a fence, which they followed for about half a mile and photographed beside a size 14 shoe.

Mussel poachers have night time encounter near Lake Barkley

Two people were sitting in a parked car by the lake late at night when they saw a large hairy figure approaching on the road. After turning on the headlights the figure ran into the woods, followed by a strong animal odor, loud crashing and scream-like vocalizations. A log was then thrown with enough force to move their car, prompting them to drive away.

Several people witness 7 to 8 foot tall creature on an old mining road

A group of eight people were raccoon hunting with dogs when the dogs returned frightened with tails tucked. Shortly after starting to drive out, they saw a huge standing figure ahead of the truck estimated at 7.5 to 8 feet tall and dark in color. After backing up and later returning on foot, they found a large human-like footprint in mud in the road. They heard sticks breaking, left quickly, later returned to find the track destroyed by their vehicle, and subsequent visits produced no further sightings.

An account of bigfoot tool use

In childhood, the witness and a companion heard a thumping noise while playing and went to investigate. They saw a large hairy animal squatting nearby using pieces of firewood to dig in the ground. The animal stood up, bared its teeth silently, and walked toward them, causing them to flee into the companion's house. When an adult checked moments later, the animal was gone leaving only disturbed ground.

Vocalization in Kentucky

The witness walked alone to his deer stand before dawn on opening day on his Kentucky property. About 20 feet into the woods he heard a grunt followed by a powerful roar that vibrated through him and froze him, then a second similar call nearby, indicating two animals. He stood motionless for several minutes, then eased away and waited in his stand until daylight. Days later he glimpsed a large gray head at the woods edge and later found a buck with a shattered leg and torn hip, and the next summer heard a frenzied coyote chorus end in sudden silence.
