Sasquatch sighting near Conejos County (1984)

The witness was scouting high-elevation timber for a later elk hunt when he noticed tree breaks, pushovers and tracks. From boulders he glassed about eight hairy bipeds with young, watching them for about half an hour as some appeared to hide at a choke point while others circled. He concluded they were hunting deer and left with his companion before dark.

1 October 1983 Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma Class B #56829

Hunters experience possible vocals, find nests, get screamed at over three-day hunting weekend north of Reydon

Three hunters camped in a river bottom over the opening weekend of bow season. Over several days and nights they reported heavy impacts, rustling, a skunk-like odor, red eyeshine, wood knocks, whistles, talk-like mumbling, a whoop-ending vocalization, and bent trees and branch structures. The most intense moment was a predawn episode with a deep guttural roar followed by a scream-like sound near camp. They left early after smelling the odor again near a plum thicket.

Backpackers find long, oval shaped nests, three miles from camp

During a 1983 backpacking trip in wooded hills in Arkansas, the witness and friends found three oval rock-and-leaf structures described as nests, with bark-stripped branches beside two of them, plus a very large scat pile and a pine tree with bark stripped in long strips. They remained in the area two more days hearing unidentified spooky noises but reported seeing no animal.

Rock throwing near Yamhill County (1982)

While staying at a farm, two children had a rock tossed at them in a clearing and were herded home by dogs. Over following months they heard screams and knocks, found a large footprint with ridges, a distressed horse, and disturbed hay resembling a nest in the barn loft. In mid-winter the witness saw a curious dark-haired face looking in a basement window, and in spring the father returned from a short walk to grab firearms and forbid solo trips into the woods.

July 1980 Silverton, Marion County, Oregon Class B #7642

Two men find rockpiles, nest at Abiqua River

The witness accompanied an older relative to watch fly fishing along a river. The relative pointed out stacked rock piles and later led the witness to a spot among trees described as a den, containing packed branches, reddish-brown hair tufts, feathers, and a strong decay-like odor. No creature was seen during the visit, and the identification as a den reflected the relative's interpretation.

1980–1983 Grayson, Carter County, Kentucky Class B #1850

Man relates series of events over several years after seeing a report posted from 3-4 miles away

The witness lived on wooded acreage in the early 1980s and reported ongoing strange activity over several years. He described finding a pole teepee structure and twisted saplings, hearing distant whistle-like sounds and whistling on the hill, seeing red and green eyeshine at night, pursuing unseen footsteps in snow without finding tracks, and having rocks and wood thrown. He stated he never had a clear sighting but concluded an intelligent, elusive presence lived nearby.

October 1979 Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio Class B #69398

Two men find unusual brush structure while deer hunting 10 miles east of Cambridge

The witness and a relative were scouting a remote abandoned strip-mine farm for deer hunting when they followed splitting paths to the top of a spoil bank and found a woven, igloo-shaped shelter made of thorny vines with an entrance and cleared interior. They could not explain who would have built it in dense thorny vegetation with biting insects. Decades later the witness associated the structure with similar ones shown on a Bigfoot television program.

Possible brush nest, tracks, smell, noticed by DeMolay teens visiting rural home Dunellon

August 1977 Deming, Whatcom County, Washington Class A #1749

Three brownish figures seen moving on nearby foothill

The witness and two companions were talking on a porch in the afternoon when they noticed three brownish figures moving on a nearby foothill for about ten minutes. They walked to the spot after the figures left and found a heap of branches resembling a bed, with some branches torn from trees high off the ground. The witness noted an absence of claw marks or bear prints and questioned how the branches could have been placed without tools.

Summer 1976 Aurora, Portage County, Ohio Class B #4966

Large footprints, area of matted grass and sounds of bipedal footsteps noted along shores of Aurora Lake

The witness and a companion hiked through a creek bed to a long-visited spot in the woods. They found a large area where tall weeds and trees had been matted down into a bed-like clearing with outer vegetation bent outward. While examining it they heard heavy bipedal footsteps and breaking twigs approaching through dense foliage but could not see the source. They retreated to the road while the unseen source followed at a distance, staying about 100 feet away.

1976 New Era, Oceana County, Michigan Class B #55573

Long term possible Sasquatch interactions on a farm near New Era beginning in the mid 1970's

The witness recalls numerous puzzling occurrences from 30-40 years ago on a family farm of about 100 acres with orchards and woods. These included trees reportedly moved to block trails, an elaborate woven arch structure, large human-like footprints with long strides, rocks and a branch thrown near the witness, loud clicking exchanges, and nighttime disturbances around the barn and house. No creature was reportedly seen clearly, and the interpretation as possible Sasquatch activity developed over later years.

July 1974 Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan Class B #24620

Man recalls family experiencing possible intimidation near Ann Arbor

In late July 1974 the witness walked with his parents and dog south along a trail toward thick woods. As they walked they heard loud cracks, pops and snaps from the treeline that seemed to parallel their movement, smelled rotten garbage, and the dog became fearful. Near the site of a previously found stick shelter they heard a tree snap and crash nearby, then turned back while snapping sounds seemed to follow them to the clearing.

Odor near Davie, Florida (1974)

A local friend who swam in the turnaround where alligators would not go searched underwater and found an opening.

Possible nest nest and food remains found by retired soldier near the Sandy River
