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.

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.

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.
