During a large group campout the witness and friends heard a powerful roar from an oak hammock after the campfire flared up. Three went to investigate and found a large round hay bale thrown from a flatbed truck with a bounce indentation and mud. Next morning large human-like tracks were found circling the entire campsite.

Footsteps in Alaska

The witness camped with the sibling and a friend from the city in a clearing containing moose bones and antlers. After midnight they heard branching breaking and multiple bipedal-sounding runners circling camp in the dark, fired rifles without effect, found the dog terrified in the tent and felt something touch a tent, then saw large shadows in firelight. They packed out carrying the dog while being followed down the trail, with one silent individual flushing very close, until reaching the car.

While elk hunting, the witness and a companion made camp on a widened logging road at dusk. They heard movement in three spots around them, then a single extremely loud branch snap like a gunshot from about seven to eight feet up directly behind the witness. Both fled to the truck, where the companion loaded a rifle and insisted lights stay off, and the next morning the area was silent.

Footsteps near Monroe, Washington

While scouting separately from a companion, the witness walked past a closed gate into clearings and felt uneasy about continuing. While walking back, distinct bipedal footsteps followed, stopping and starting with the witness and moving fluidly through dense trees. The witness paused to confront it, heard small limb snaps, then ran to the truck.

Growl near Darrington, Washington

While on a multi-day hunting trip in the mountains, the witness and a companion camped behind tall boulders for wind protection. On the second night something bipedal approached with raspy breathing and growled for about fifteen seconds before walking away on two feet. They stayed but saw almost no game over three days despite bedding and trails.

Sasquatch sighting near Huntsville, Alabama

Two friends sat in a parked car at night on a power-line trail waiting for others. The witness saw a large silhouette block the moonlit trail beside a low-hanging limb, then take a couple steps across. Only two thick legs were visible, estimated seven feet tall with a very deep chest, and it struck the limb with an audible crack. Both occupants fled in the car and met their friends coming up.

Sasquatch sighting near Pine Ridge, South Dakota

Years later the witness was camping at a ceremonial gathering on a reservation when he repeatedly felt watched going to the restroom at night. An older man walked him away from the fire toward the cook shack to look into the dark, where they both saw two massive shadowy upright shapes standing at the edge of camp watching. The older man said such beings are drawn to ceremonies to observe and protect, and they remained at a distance without approaching or making sound.

Sasquatch sighting near Pioneer, Florida

The witness, then a 10-year-old boy, was catching reptiles in a dry creek bed behind his grandparents' rural property when a tall slender ape-like female appeared across the creek with an infant. He crouched and pretended to eat vegetation to avoid provoking her while they observed each other for several minutes. A taller darker male then emerged, bared his teeth and displayed aggressively, and the female positioned herself between the male and the boy. Both creatures then left into the brush, and the boy ran home and told his grandmother, who said she believed him.

A few days after the field light the witness woke around 3 a.m. unable to move or speak and saw a clear sparkly bubble-like blob moving between his head and feet. His dog barked outside and he abruptly regained movement. The identical paralysis and blob recurred the next night for up to fifteen minutes, again ending when the dog barked.

While driving with family at night the witness encountered a massive black long-haired dog-like animal that jumped a tall fence, crossed the road, and stopped in headlights staring for several seconds before bolting into the woods. A short drive later the same animal shot across their driveway at high speed. The witness's mother called his father to come out with a gun, but nothing further was found that night.

UFO sighting in Indiana

Around midnight the witness saw a wide white searchlight-like beam shining straight up from the back of a neighbor's field. His wife joined him and they watched several minutes from a hill by the children's playground. The witness called the neighbor, attempted phone video, and the light shut off as the neighbor's vehicle approached; a later drive to the spot found nothing.

Eyeshine in Indiana

In darkness the witness walked a logging path to his tree stand while two sets of eyeshine paralleled him side-by-side for a long distance. When he switched on white light at about 15 feet the eyes rose to about seven feet with a bark-like grunt, then vanished. From the stand he watched one taller and one smaller eyeshine peek from behind a tree until a neighbor's vehicle lights approached, when they crashed away loudly through the woods.

Whistle in Indiana

On early mornings before work the witness repeatedly heard bird-like chirps and whistles around his house. On one morning he heard a chirp near the house answered about 20 yards out in the cornfield. He did not realize the significance until later after listening to reports of similar sounds.
