Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Man recalls possible encounter at a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City

In August 1964 two teenagers were walking back to a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon after dark when they heard footsteps matching their movements and a low unearthly growl. They ran through a gully to the cabin and locked themselves inside. They then heard the nearby outhouse door open and slam, saw nothing when they turned on an outside light, later heard the door fling open with crashing in brush, and spent the night upstairs.

Daylight sighting off Highway 89 in the Wasatch Mountains

During a family picnic in the Wasatch Mountains, a five-year-old playing hide-and-seek ran around a mound and encountered a large hair-covered figure about 30 feet away beside a tree. The two watched each other briefly before the child broke the stare and ran screaming back to the picnic area. Adults suggested a deer or bobcat and found nothing on re-check, but the child saw the figure again in the same spot while the group was leaving.

Blood or tissue in Utah

While hiking with a friend over a high pass at night, the witness found a large pool of blood on the trail and a short distance off-trail a freshly dead antlered deer with no visible bullet or arrow wounds. Nearby the witness noticed thin trees woven into a teepee-like structure with trampled grass at its base. The witness felt watched while leaving the area and later wondered if the structure marked the kill location.

Tracks in Utah

While documenting activity on the ranch property, the guest's team found a trackway that appeared to change from human footprints to horse hoofprints. The impressions were unusually deep, suggesting great weight throughout. Local Native consultants later associated the sign with skinwalker activity.

Unidentified sound in Utah

While sitting near a small lake they repeatedly heard sounds of rocks or boulders being moved nearby every few minutes. They did not investigate and left without seeing what made the noise.

Tracks in Utah

While following a large bear track with an owner's hounds wearing GPS collars, the dogs bayed at the canyon bottom then went completely silent and could not be located. Months later the owner returned from another direction, recovered collars and smashed bones shoved under a large rock, suggesting the dogs were killed together.

Property disturbance in Utah

The crew nailed two beavers high in a tree and secured a bait barrel to draw bears. The next day the barrel had been torn off and thrown downhill and only a beaver tail remained, with no bear claw marks found. After resetting, no bears returned and the crew abandoned the spot after similar barrel destruction elsewhere.

Dogman sighting in Utah

The witness says that on multiple evenings while hunting or heading home with dogs, he saw figures with glowing red eyes and dog-like ears watching from brush across the river. His dogs would growl and confront the figures, and gunfire would provoke screaming and fights. On several occasions a dog chased and never returned.

Movement only in Utah

The witness reports repeatedly seeing movement only in peripheral vision while in forests, cabins, and around trucks. Direct looks revealed nothing, but sideways glances showed forms moving tree to tree or between shadows, sometimes changing size. He addressed them verbally to be left alone and says they generally kept distance.

Sasquatch sighting in Utah

The younger guest ran ahead on a trail during a family night hike and saw a brownish creature taller than his father. He screamed for his father, and the creature ran away through scrub oak trees. The father did not see it but heard very loud crashing as it left. Both later recalled seeing distant lights on a ridge that they first thought were flashlights.

Dogman sighting in Utah

The witness was night fishing with his brother and a friend when movement in dense cattails prompted him to throw concrete that struck something with a loud thud and exhale. They saw high amber-red eyeshine, then fled to their lifted pickup as a large snout-faced biped chased them. It reached toward the tailgate and kept pace on two and four legs for several hundred yards until they detoured around the lake to escape.
