The witness and five family members were camping and fishing at a remote lake. In the evening rocks were thrown toward a brother across the lake, followed by mimicked voices, screams, growls and surrounding noises. A large live tree was pushed over and fast-moving silhouettes were seen around the camp. The group abandoned their gear and left after the brother, who had been paced in the woods, rejoined them at the car.

Howl in Virginia

A camping party arrived late at a ridgetop site and heard strange howling around 2 to 3 a.m. the first night. The next evening after dinner the dog fixated on brush by a steep drop, where one camper saw paired eyes at close range that avoided a flashlight, followed by branch breaks and a tall tree-like silhouette that walked from one side of camp to the road and later showed yellow eyeshine. The group packed hurriedly, secured the dog and lights, and drove home the same night feeling watched but not directly threatened.

Sasquatch sighting in Missouri

Two partners camped in a van with a friend and dogs for deer season. On the first night they saw an upright figure by a car that vanished in a few steps and was not the friend's companion. The next night dogs reacted to knocking at the window, a pumpkin had been moved without marks, and large human-like handprints with long fingers were found on the van.

Woman tells of her husband's close encounter as a young man with "The Hermit" near Huntsville

About 1960, the submitter's husband and two school friends were spending a weekend night inside a relative's cabin when they felt watched and saw a tall hair-covered figure silhouetted by the open refrigerator light. The boys shouted and split up to flee to the car, with the husband reporting something running close behind him that he could hear breathing and smell strongly like moldy skunk. In hindsight he wondered whether the figure was also fleeing and had simply taken the same path.

A couple months after the backyard sighting the guest walked alone in daylight and found tall Johnson grass pressed flat as if something had lain there, with one spot suggesting two bodies or two uses. He interpreted it as bedding for the same animal.

The two hikers describe finding a large partial footprint while off trail along a river about a year before the main night encounter. Only the front half with visible toes was preserved. They questioned why anyone would hoax a print so far from maintained trails.

Odor

After his vehicle became stuck in snow on a high peak in February, the witness hiked miles at night to get cell reception and arrange a rescue. During the hike he found a freshly torn small coyote skull with no tracks, smelled skunk that vanished, and heard sounds like large trucks with no roads nearby. Weeks later his lost emergency locator showed movement and an SOS, and searches found a branch nest with a large X nearby and a trail camera that later disappeared.

Rock throwing

The witness was sitting along a waterway when a man arrived alone in a very loud motorboat. A large rock estimated between soccer and basketball size flew a long distance and splashed near the boater, followed by more splashes and cursing. The witness concluded a person could not have thrown that size rock that far.

Tracks

The witness had found tracks in a cold, rainy area with no other people around and started hiking down. He stopped to adjust his gear when small pebbles began flying past him on two separate stops. He decided the source likely did not want him there and kept hiking without feeling stalked.

Sasquatch sighting

While driving slowly on a drizzly night with his son to get ice cream, the guest saw a huge black shaggy mass by the roadside with a slow-wagging limb. He thought at first of a large dog but noted its height, lack of visible head, and matted hair, and concluded it must have been a Bigfoot with its arm extended. He turned to look again and it was gone.

The host returned to the mountain road where he and a companion previously had an encounter. He describes footsteps closing in, growling and heavy breathing, a monkey-like figure in a tree and shapes running across the road, then a large figure stepping into the road, pausing to look and feinting from behind a fallen tree while a lighter figure jumped into the road and dropped to all fours before leaving.

Movement only near Big Bay, Michigan

The witness and his son were rowing across a different lake on the same property around midday when they noticed a white, propane-tank-shaped object sitting on or just above the flat water with no reflection, sound, or wake. They watched it move slowly and silently across the width of the lake until it reached the far shore and disappeared into the heavily wooded shoreline where there is no boat launch or access. The witness said he photographed the object and later shared grayscale and color versions.
