Family hears ape-like sounds close to a dam on the Neosho River near Pryor

The witness, with relatives, stopped their truck on back roads at night and heard a short whooping ape-like sound from the treeline about 15 yards away. After backing the truck up about 20 feet, they heard a second louder, deeper and more aggressive vocalization of the same type from a different direction, which the witness interpreted as coming from a second animal. They remained in the area for several hours, looked around with a light and lantern, and heard nothing further.

Camper finds possible tracks on a sandbar along Henry's Fork River

The witness and three companions were camping and hiked to a sandy point on a river bend. At the river's edge the witness found 10-11 very large human-like footprints that appeared to come out of the water onto the sand and then go back into the water. The companions also viewed the tracks. The witness photographed the tracks with a foot for scale but later lost the phone containing the images.

Possible footprints found by a hiker on Mt. Ascutney

On May 24, 2015 the witness was hiking for pleasure when she found two very large footprints near a tree by the trail.

She returned several days later to make plaster casts, but rain and leaf litter made the casts poor.

Campers hear possible night-time responses near Aeneas Valley Road

The witness was camping with a group on a friend's undeveloped property and spent two nights riding ATVs to a remote spot to try imitation yells and tree knocks for fun. The group reported hearing responding knocks, high-pitched vocalizations, loud grunt-like growls from in front and behind, and a very loud tree-breaking sound, all from about 75 to 300 yards away. Nothing was ever seen, and the group left the hillside quickly after the close growls, later listening from camp.

Possible midnight road crossing near Iowa Falls

The witness was driving home from work at nearly midnight when something jumped onto the road at the top of a hill. It looked toward the vehicle for a second or two, showing big red eyes, then quickly crossed to the woods on the other side. The witness described it as gigantic and black, and said its speed and the height of its eyes made him think it was a Bigfoot.

Woman has clear daytime view of a large Biped

She looked up and watched a tall, dark-haired figure step out of the trees, walk five long steps to the side while looking down, and step back into the forest. She called a relative to return home, and a later visit to the spot found trampled vegetation, stacked broken limbs, and a strong odor.

Target shooter hears strange sounds (see video) and finds possible tree-breaks and prints off of the Mountain Loop Highway

The witness and a companion stopped off a forest road so the witness could target shoot while the companion waited at the truck. After the witness returned to the road, both heard repeated very loud cracking snaps from a wooded hilltop about 100 yards away, spaced about 30 seconds apart, along with movement and bark-ripping sounds. The witness walked partway up the hill filming with a cell phone and captured at least one loud crack before returning to the truck and leaving.

6 May 2015 Between Helena And Great Falls (Edited Per Witness Request), Lewis And Clark County, Montana Class A #48616

Possible daylight sighting while driving on a rural road between Helena and Great Falls

The witness was driving on a private dirt road in the morning when he noticed a black two-legged figure about a quarter-mile away walking across a side road with an unusual sauntering, swinging gait. He stopped and backed up for a better view, but the figure was gone. Investigators later visited, measured the crossing, and recreated the figure from memory as much larger than a human, about 8'7" tall with very long arms and no visible clothing lines.

Tracks in Minnesota (2015)

While hiking alone in the morning near the river where the earlier sighting occurred, the witness found a single large bare footprint much larger than his own boot. About twenty feet away he found two green trees of substantial size twisted and snapped off near ground level. He theorized the deep single print was a push-off foot before jumping into a nearby dry ravine.
