Couple observes a Bigfoot outside cabin window in Allegany State Park

The witness and his wife were inside a rented cabin at night when loud banging shook the structure.

After later noticing a strong foul odor on the porch, the couple packed and drove out of the park the same night.

The next morning the storage room was found in disarray with the door off, faint scratches without tool marks, and frozen foods missing.

BFRO YEAR: 1989,1993 Essex County, New York Class A #1522

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.

Property disturbance near Wellsville, New York

On returning the next weekend, the witnesses found a large rotten log about 12-14 feet long wedged three feet off the ground between two trees across the only driven part of the driveway like a gate. No stump or treetop was found nearby, and it was too heavy to lift with a tractor loader, so the farmer cut it out. They felt it had been placed.
