The witness visited a friend's house bordered by a field and heard a loud distressed mooing sound moving along a tree line as dogs barked then cowered. He watched a gray figure move bent over between hills with arms pumping. Later a metal patio table and chairs were found thrown about, which the family attributed to the troll.

Sasquatch sighting near Lake County

The witness was deer hunting from a familiar hillside stump in the late afternoon when the woods went silent and a strong rotting odor appeared. He watched a large black hairy biped walk effortlessly up a steep hill toward him, sniff the air and make eye contact for several seconds before walking away over the hill. After it left he heard a loud high-pitched scream in the distance, felt watched while leaving, and vomited once clear of the woods.

While working in the park, the guest hiked to climb a mountain via a narrow valley and detoured to check an old cabin site. He found a large well-trodden trail, a shredded willow break, and a torn-apart rotten stump, which he attributed to snow and bears at the time. On the return in a sunny open spot he heard a loud single-syllable vocal from the woods over the creek and chose to leave for the wide river bar rather than investigate.

Vocalization near Talala, Oklahoma

Late at night while photographing on the porch, the witness felt watched then heard a single grunt like a pig and horse combined near trees, later heard again behind her brother's house. Chickens were frightened with one laying prematurely, dogs barked, and her brother came out with a light and firearm. Around the same period a newly nailed chicken-pen roof was ripped back, mulch buckets were moved without spilling, finger-like swipes appeared in a bucket, and she often felt watched near the barn and swing set.

About two weeks after the roof sighting, the witness walked the same direction at dusk and heard very loud monkey-like noises from a wooded lot. She first thought it was a movie from a nearby trailer, but windows and doors were closed and the sound came from the trees. The noise stopped as she neared, then resumed after she passed, and she hurried away without looking.

A companion hunting from the middle stand about 200 yards away shot a small buck and had to retrieve it after dark during the rut. While recovering the animal he heard loud repeated grunting nearby that he did not believe was deer and could not see the source. He became frightened, dragged the deer about a hundred yards to the gate, and waited urgently for pickup.

Sasquatch sighting near Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

The witness walked down steps to a river fishing spot very early in the morning and watched what he first thought was a bear pulling fish from the water while mumbling and grunting. When a light came on he dropped his rod, the creature stood, turned its torso, showed its teeth, held up a catfish and swayed while slapping the fish. After the witness looked down to grab his rod, the creature quickly disappeared under the river bank.

A few weeks later the guest returned to the same area with three companions and camped in the pines. After limb-snapping and a deep primate-like call, something approached the tent at night, growled in front and then circled it with light footsteps on pine needles. At daylight they found a large footprint-like impression inches behind the tent where one companion's head had been.

After the witness's family left, friends with a small child moved into the house. The child would not use the stairs alone and was seen walking with one hand raised as if helped. She spoke of an imaginary friend and once handed a powered-off phoneless handset to her father saying the friend wanted to talk. Family history later linked the name to a relative found hanging on the property.

While sleeping in his van in Alabama Hills, the witness woke at 2:30 AM to bird-like sounds shifting to crickets, then a short wailing whistle. Something pressed against the van and shook it violently while he felt overwhelming dread, pressure, inability to move and hear. After it stopped he dressed, found no tracks, felt watched while leaving, and drove to a populated rest stop.

about a year and a half ago, January, February, somewhere around there Massachusetts #ef94adb9-b749-47fe-9ed6-6f34b6587d35

Sasquatch sighting in Massachusetts

The witness, an HVAC apprentice, waited alone in the back of a work van at a rural house in western Massachusetts while his coworker stepped away and a boiler timer ran. He heard faint breathing and a light tap on the van, then saw a very tall dark figure hunched to peer through a 3-4 inch gap in the rear door and locked eyes with it for several seconds. The eye appeared pitch black then briefly glowed white-gray, apparently reflecting the coworker's headlamp, before a loud boiler boom startled the figure. It fled in three loud steps across gravel, grass and leaves that both men heard, left a sour wet-towel odor, and the elderly homeowner responded that local animals are friendly.
