Scream in Louisiana

The witness went squirrel hunting with the stepfather in Middle Fort Bottom toward dusk. Something paralleled them in the woods, stopping when they stopped. When they stopped once, something nearby gave a very loud scream described like a tornado siren mixed with a distressed cow, and it continued to follow them until they reached the car.

At night with windows open, the witness heard heavy footsteps breaking limbs and crunching leaves approach the bedroom window, then loud breathing in and out. The witness was paralyzed with fear until the mother pulled the witness from bed. After something struck the back of the house hard, the witness, mother, and grandmother saw a huge brown-haired form blocking the dining room window before it moved sideways toward the bedroom.

Structure or nest near Lisbon, Louisiana

The witness and the witness's stepfather walked in the woods where the earlier growl happened and found what looked like a makeshift shelter under a rotted stump with vines over the front. Beside it were small picked-clean bones in one neat pile and feathers in another neat pile. They speculated about a homeless person but noted raw birds would not be eaten that way.

Growl near Lisbon, Louisiana

After a few more steps, something gave a deep guttural growl from the edge of the woods to their left. They ran back to the house and were scolded for going past the guard.

Whoop in Indiana

On one of their last nights in the house, the witness's wife woke him to listen to repeated high whoop sounds approaching over about 40 minutes. He heard spaced footsteps in leaves outside the bedroom wall within feet of his head while their dog growled. He went to the porch with a gun, heard one more loud call felt in his chest, fired into the ground, and it fell silent.

Sasquatch sighting in California

In broad daylight the witness was inside the house when movement caught his eye through the window about 30 to 40 feet away. A very tall hair-covered creature with gray leathery facial skin, an old-man-like face, heavy brow, huge hands and long arms was resting an arm on a tall stump and looking at him. After several seconds of eye contact it dropped behind the stump, ran upright across the two-lane road in a few explosive steps, and disappeared down the hill.

While driving the road below the house at night and rounding a corner, the witness saw red lights moving through the trees that looked like vehicle brake lights. There was no road in that direction where a car could have been. He remains unsure what the lights were.
