Husband and wife see large upright figure leap from road around midnight on Freezeout Saddle near Clarkia

The witness and his wife were sleeping in their truck on a mountain ridgeline when they felt strongly uneasy and decided to drive down.

Sasquatch sighting near Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia (2006)

The witness was dropped by helicopter on a mountain top to troubleshoot a seismic line and hiked down alongside a large scree field. Hearing steady rock-rolling sounds, he approached quietly and watched a slender hairy female and two small juveniles foraging among rocks and putting items in their mouths. A much larger female then emerged and caught a small rodent, which a huge male rushed out to snatch and eat. After the animals stood and scanned the treeline while sniffing deeply, the witness radioed a bear alert, a helicopter buzzed the area scattering the group, and he returned to the helipad where the pilot said others had reported similar encounters.

28 July 2006 Tanner, Limestone County, Alabama Class B #15597

Possible vocalizations reported near Tanner

The witness was working on a fence near the barn after dark when she heard a disturbance in the nearby woods that sounded like a deer being caught. About half an hour later she heard a loud powerful hollering howl from the woods, then heard it again from the area of the first noise as she prepared to leave. Frightened, she backed an ATV to the house and went inside, hearing nothing further when she returned outside with her husband. She believes the sound matched Bigfoot vocalizations she had heard on television and felt it could not have come from familiar local animals.
