Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina (1957)

The witness, then about 12, was hunting squirrels alone in the woods behind his childhood home. After crossing a creek bridge into thick regrowth he heard rhythmic leaf-rustling and pushed through brush to within a few feet of a very large cinnamon-brown hairy animal lying flat asleep. He watched its breathing move leaves, could see only its back with legs tucked under, then backed out fearing it was a bull and told no one for decades.

William Roe account -- Highway worker has lengthy sighting at close range & records much detail

The witness hiked to a deserted mine on a mountain in the afternoon and encountered an upright hair-covered female creature at close range. The creature approached, squatted to strip and eat leaves, noticed the witness, vocalized, and walked away into timber, later appearing briefly on a distant ridge. The witness considered shooting it for science but refrained, then examined droppings and a bedding spot.

Witnesses hear, smell, and feel something large moving & walking right next to them

Late at night in heavy fog, the witness's wife went to the outhouse and encountered something very close that she heard moving and smelled strongly, then fled back inside. The witness went outside with a gun and flashlight but could see nothing in the fog, though he heard bipedal footsteps, noticed a strong odor, and heard a low screeching sound toward a relative's home. The next morning he found a barbed-wire fence broken down with nails pulled out but found no tracks or hair.
