Cryptid sighting in Indiana

The guest and his partner walked a Pukwudgie trail at Mound State Park among burial mounds and fairy rings. They watched a three-foot shadowy figure with distorted light move near a rotted tree and approached it. A deer then appeared between them, bounded toward the road and vanished as the feeling of the area changed and insects disappeared.

Tracks near Owen County

While mushroom hunting with his mother the witness crossed a creek and found a single tiny human-like footprint in a wash. No other prints appeared after extended tracking, while crashing sounds moved away through woods, which he interpreted as something carrying off a young one.

Dogman sighting in Indiana

After pets were torn apart and claw marks appeared on windows, the witness heard a dog being killed in the driveway at night. She went to the porch with a gun and flashlight, saw a figure run behind a parked semi, then saw clawed hands gripping it as it peered around. It growled deeply, she froze, then dragged the injured dog inside.

UFO sighting in Indiana

While outside by the barn with her children and a friend, the witness saw a basketball-sized ball of light floating about six feet off the ground. It was dark blue in the center fading to white at the edges. The children thought it was a bug, but the adults were frightened and everyone went inside.

Silhouette in Indiana

As an adult, the witness and her son went to the barn about 10 at night to find paperwork. A huge dark figure entered the other stall door, blocking it and breathing audibly. They backed out to the house, and the thing then burst out and crashed through the woods loudly enough for a neighbor to hear.

Sasquatch sighting in Indiana

While brushing a horse in a corral near the woods, the witness noticed the horse staring toward a metal gate. A very tall reddish-brown ape-like animal stood there holding a post with a foot raised as if to step over. It flipped its upper lip up, then the witness fled screaming to the house and family members fired guns around the property.

Sasquatch sighting in Indiana

While riding a young horse through woods and blackberry thickets, the witness felt paralleled by something moving beside her. The horse panicked and bolted toward home. Looking back, she saw a large black thing close behind making large leaps and using its hands on the ground, keeping up with the galloping horse until near the pasture fence.

Scream in Indiana

While growing up on a rural property, the witness and family regularly heard loud screams at night that sounded like a woman. They also heard something pushing trees in the woods. The family treated this as a normal part of life and tried to be indoors by dark.

Vocalization near Columbus, Indiana

The witness heard coyotes in the woods behind the house and went in with a shotgun. He heard deer-like snorts back and forth, movement flanking him, clicking sounds and bird-like calls. Something followed him out, crossed the creek loudly, and a rock flew over his head. Later from the porch he heard a loud tree strike, saw movement running between houses, and next day found torn coyote remains and heard fences were down and dogs missing.

Whoop in Indiana

On one of their last nights in the house, the witness's wife woke him to listen to repeated high whoop sounds approaching over about 40 minutes. He heard spaced footsteps in leaves outside the bedroom wall within feet of his head while their dog growled. He went to the porch with a gun, heard one more loud call felt in his chest, fired into the ground, and it fell silent.

The witness and a friend were fishing late on Sand Creek when a huge splash hit the bank. A light revealed a paper-plate-sized oblong rock on the sandbar where none had been. The witness felt no one could have thrown it that far unseen at night.

Cryptid sighting in Indiana

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.
