2010–2012 (Removed), Mecosta County, Michigan Class B #35437

Family reports possible vocalizations and unexplained activity near Mecosta

On Monday evening 5/14 around 9pm at a relative's riverbank house, the relative noticed a roughly 9- to 10-foot limb protruding from the ground that had not appeared in panoramic photos taken earlier that day. The husband arrived shortly after, felt uneasy and heard rustling in the woods across the river before turning back, and the witness later joined him to inspect the stick and search for footprints without success. The relative suggested the limb may have fallen from a tree, while the witness doubted a natural placement.

The witness stood on a back step calling for a dog and looked over a tall kennel.

Summer 2010 Double Springs, Winston County, Alabama Class B #30680

Outdoorsman experiences vocalizations and rock throwing on the Sipsey River

The witness was pulling his canoe out of the Sipsey River at dusk to load it for transport when he heard a series of very loud, powerful whoops from a distance, followed after a pause by three more. He said the sound was unlike any owl or other woods or river sound he knew and it frightened him into quickly carrying the canoe up a steep hill to his car. He later noted the whoops sounded like examples on a Bigfoot website and said researchers told him they had no one working that area at the time.

2010 Lander, Wyoming EP 448

Sasquatch sighting near Lander, Wyoming (2010)

While staying about a week to help move his elderly grandmother, the 11-year-old guest rode a mountain bike daily on wide trails toward the national forest and often felt watched. One day the woods went quiet and he heard childlike playing shift to indistinct murmuring, then heavy bipedal footsteps approaching through brush. A roughly nine-foot, black-haired, barrel-chested male stepped onto the trail about 30 yards away, made rapid mouth-popping clicks answered from the brush, then growled and changed expression when the witness turned his bike. A second taller individual stood up in the brush showing chest and head, the witness rode about two and a half miles home, and family members dismissed the report as a bear.

Sasquatch sighting near Casadero, California (2010)

He looked up from the ground to see a tall, rusty-brown, shaggy-haired figure standing on a mound only a few feet away looking down at him.

He then saw a reddish-brown female-appearing figure squatting across the creek near a beaver dam, apparently washing something in the water.

29 December 2009 Crescent City, Del Norte County, California #4869

Two women heard vocalization in California redwoods

Two hikers on a trail heard prolonged, loud, warbling calls that seemed to come from more than one source and grew louder near a bridge and large tree. They stopped repeatedly to listen, could not identify the sound in the field, and later ruled out elk or cougar after checking animal recordings. Other hikers entering the area said they had heard a similar distant sound. The writer concluded the sound matched a purported bigfoot recording on a website.
