couple wake up a bigfoot, while riding in the woods

The witness and a companion were riding a scooter past a clearcut when they saw a creature rise from a sleeping position near the far tree line. The creature looked at them and then walked south with swinging arms, passing a stump and stepping up into the forest. They stopped to examine the sleeping spot and judged its size from the tall stump and the high step, then reported the sighting to a research group.

Vocals and thrown objects experienced by two friends exploring

Two companions hiked through dense brush to explore a quarry in the woods. While approaching and resting at the water they repeatedly heard very loud screech-like sounds and heard several large splashes in the water. As they climbed out and walked toward their vehicle, hard objects began striking the ground near them with increasing accuracy. They fled across a creek and out to their vehicle without ever seeing what produced the sounds or thrown objects.

Tree break near Albany County (1994)

The witness's car sputtered to a stop on a bridge and the witness set out on foot toward home. From a dark forested slope the witness watched a tall tree thrash, then heard a massive thud, three loud knocks, and rapid footsteps sprinting uphill toward the road. An unseen presence stopped feet away breathing sharply, then repeatedly ran ahead and waited, forcing the witness to pass it several times over an eighth to a quarter mile. Near dawn where cover ended the presence vanished without ever being seen.

Sasquatch sighting (1994)

When the witness was 11, he stopped to tie his boot while hiking down a mountain trail with family and friends and saw a large black hairy biped downhill about 50 feet away. The creature moved onto the trail to block him, dropped to all fours, made a low bellowing monkey-like sound and curled its lip. The witness fled uphill along the ridge for about two and a half to three hours while the creature paced him at a distance, shook brush and tossed sticks and a small log toward him, and was seen again briefly from the chest up. As rain began the sounds grew more distant, allowing him to return to the trailhead where a search had started, and he told family he had been chased by a bear.

Roadside sighting near Eureka Springs

Late at night in summer 1994, the witness was a passenger in a car returning from a performance in Missouri to a festival site near Eureka Springs. The headlights illuminated a tall, hair-covered figure standing by the south side of the highway between Beaver Lake and Eureka Springs. The figure raised its hands to cover its face from the lights, and the occupants did not stop, first thinking it was a naked person but later concluding it was tall, hairy, and not a man or bear.
