Sasquatch sighting near Oneonta, New York

While alone locking up the mall late at night, the witness drove behind stores and saw a dark hairy being on all fours dart from dumpsters toward vans and into a nearby tree line at extreme speed. He saw its lower body with human-like buttocks and no tail, then heard crashing and smelled an intense dirty-feet odor.

Vehicle contact near Oneonta, New York

Driving about 65 mph after leaving a mall, the witness felt a violent impact that destroyed the front end and scattered parts far behind, but saw no animal. He found hairs and blood spots, noticed a wet-dog smell, and an officer suggested a wolf without filing a report. He later wondered it was a juvenile sasquatch.

Paranormal encounter near Whitehall, New York

The writer had recently moved to Whitehall and was lying in bed when he began crying uncontrollably. A door slammed open and heavy footsteps and furniture movement were heard downstairs, then something came up the stairs. He waited with a bat and confronted a huge black outline with glowing red eyes that seemed to enjoy his fear before leaving.

Movement only near Wellsville, New York

The night after Christmas the witness watched from a gas well across the valley as dozens of small pin lights moved along the ridge and dropped into the valley. Later from the truck near the first sighting area he watched a beach-ball-size bluish light and then a basketball-size yellow-orange light move intelligently six to ten feet off the ground around trees, pause at the ravine edge, and drop over, casting almost no light despite brightness. Companions asleep in the truck did not see them.

Growl near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend the witness was leaning back on a four-wheeler with a rifle across his lap near the ravine edge when he heard close rock clacking ahead. Then from about fifty feet behind him in the forest came an extremely loud escalating bark-growl-roar that shook the vehicle and his body. A younger companion walking the ravine edge within fifty yards reportedly did not hear it at all.

Wood knock near Wellsville, New York

On another weekend on opening morning of rifle season, the witness was in a tree stand near the first encounter spot at false dawn feeling emotional about a friend. He heard a very close rapid tree knock like an alarm, close enough that he felt he should see the source, but blurred vision prevented seeing anything.

Structure or nest near Wellsville, New York

After the initial encounter the witnesses explored a hidden bench on the hillside and found what they described as clear tree structures, including a three to four inch sapling wrapped and bent around another tree with broken branches and sticks pushed in. They felt it could not be natural and required hands and thought.

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.

Eyeshine near Wellsville, New York

On driving into the hilltop camp at night, the witness shone a spotlight across a pasture and saw two huge red eyeshine like taillights up in a tree. When he flicked the light to a bedded deer and back, the red shine was gone. At the time they dismissed it as two owls together.
