November 2019 Whitethorn, Humboldt County, California Class B #63645

Mattole River Watershed (Lost Coast region) resident reporting loud knocks and vocalizations

The witness reports waiting alone at dusk at the gated entrance to a remote conservation area when they heard a very loud unfamiliar wail/scream-like call from a wooded slope a few hundred meters away. After additional calls and a pause, a second similarly loud and unfamiliar call answered from a different direction a few hundred meters away. The witness interpreted the exchange as communication between two large unknown animals and doubted a prank due to the remoteness and solitary 45-minute wait.

Movement only in Pennsylvania (2019)

After moving to western Pennsylvania, the witness took his dog for a hike on Quarry Trail in Linn Run State Park. Something paced him in thick hillside brush, stopping when he stopped, followed by two tree knocks and a loud deep scream from further up. On the return the dog acted alarmed, watching the brush behind him until they reached a rock outcropping and left. A researcher later visited the same area and photographed a bare human-like footprint and overturned rocks.

Scream in Washington (2018)

Eleven years after the river incident, the witness was stationed at the base and took an armored vehicle into the training areas to serve as props for scout training. After dark in a large field near the river, the group heard loud screams first from the east and then from the west. Using poor night vision they watched two dark bipedal shapes move across the field toward the river. They locked themselves inside the vehicle and felt and heard something scratching and pushing on its exterior for many minutes; at dawn they found no tracks in the dry ground and learned they had been miles from the assigned site so no scouts had been nearby.

Sasquatch sighting near Ozark County (2017)

The witness was staying at his uncle's cattle farm to shoot a suspected coyote stealing chickens. From a barn loft at night he watched a tall bipedal creature emerge from the tree line and move very quickly toward the coops. After he shouted, it growled, screamed and charged the barn, shaking it, while he fired dozens of rounds down at it before it fled to the woods. No blood was found, only partial tracks, and a conservation officer told them to keep quiet.
