Sasquatch sighting near Oneonta, New York

While alone locking up the mall late at night, the witness drove behind stores and saw a dark hairy being on all fours dart from dumpsters toward vans and into a nearby tree line at extreme speed.

Vehicle contact near Oneonta, New York

Driving about 65 mph after leaving a mall, the witness felt a violent impact that destroyed the front end and scattered parts far behind, but saw no animal. He found hairs and blood spots, noticed a wet-dog smell, and an officer suggested a wolf without filing a report. He later wondered it was a juvenile sasquatch.

The witness and friends walked into dark woods and heard deep snorting or grunting that sounded like a bull but seemed impossible among close trees. As they ran toward their campfire, the unseen animal pursued them, its steps shaking the ground, until they reached the fire and left.

Rock throwing in New York

Paranormal encounter near Whitehall, New York

The writer had recently moved to Whitehall and was lying in bed when he began crying uncontrollably. A door slammed open and heavy footsteps and furniture movement were heard downstairs, then something came up the stairs. He waited with a bat and confronted a huge black outline with glowing red eyes that seemed to enjoy his fear before leaving.

Tree break in New York

The witness noticed several green trees snapped or pushed over near the house over about a year. One small tree used for target practice was snapped about six and a half feet up, a larger cherry tree was pushed over, and another small tree blocked a trail. On one night the son heard the dog react and trees cracking as the witness walked home, but nothing was seen.

Movement only near Wellsville, New York

The night after Christmas the witness watched from a gas well across the valley as dozens of small pin lights moved along the ridge and dropped into the valley. Later from the truck near the first sighting area he watched a beach-ball-size bluish light and then a basketball-size yellow-orange light move intelligently six to ten feet off the ground around trees, pause at the ravine edge, and drop over, casting almost no light despite brightness. Companions asleep in the truck did not see them.

Growl near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend the witness was leaning back on a four-wheeler with a rifle across his lap near the ravine edge when he heard close rock clacking ahead. Then from about fifty feet behind him in the forest came an extremely loud escalating bark-growl-roar that shook the vehicle and his body. A younger companion walking the ravine edge within fifty yards reportedly did not hear it at all.

Wood knock near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend on opening morning of rifle season, the witness was in a tree stand near the first encounter spot at false dawn feeling emotional about a friend. He heard a very close rapid tree knock like an alarm, close enough that he felt he should see the source, but blurred vision prevented seeing anything.

Structure or nest near Wellsville, New York

After the initial encounter the witnesses explored a hidden bench on the hillside and found what they described as clear tree structures, including a three to four inch sapling wrapped and bent around another tree with broken branches and sticks pushed in. They felt it could not be natural and required hands and thought.

Property disturbance near Wellsville, New York

On returning the next weekend, the witnesses found a large rotten log about 12-14 feet long wedged three feet off the ground between two trees across the only driven part of the driveway like a gate. No stump or treetop was found nearby, and it was too heavy to lift with a tractor loader, so the farmer cut it out. They felt it had been placed.

Eyeshine near Wellsville, New York

On driving into the hilltop camp at night, the witness shone a spotlight across a pasture and saw two huge red eyeshine like taillights up in a tree. When he flicked the light to a bedded deer and back, the red shine was gone. At the time they dismissed it as two owls together.

Footsteps in New York

The guest camped several days alone with his dog, noticing hairy scat, twisted saplings forming a gate, and feeling watched. On the third night the forest went silent, footsteps approached, loud breathing and an ape-like vocalization occurred outside the tent, followed by exchanged fake owl sounds and a spinning yin-yang light with a brief vision inside the tent. In the morning disturbed dog food was attributed to a raccoon.

Vehicle contact in New York

The guest described driving home on Long Island and stopping at a deli off Comac Road with tractor-trailers blocking his view. As he accelerated to pull onto the road he felt an unseen hand slap his leg onto the brake pedal. At that moment a speeding car tore off the front of his small car instead of striking the driver's door broadside, which he believes saved his life.

Vocalization near Whitehall, New York

The guest's son woke the guest to listen to a loud high-pitched long vocalization that agitated a distant dog and then silenced a nearby dog. The next day the two followed the direction of the sound and found a large barefoot-like track and a smaller juvenile-like track in ice on a deer trail.
