Witness observed one unusual, large, human-like footprint near a "Miners" cabin at the top of Farmington Canyon

The witness rode a motorcycle up a canyon road until blocked by a snow bank, then parked to explore near an old cabin and stream. While walking along the stream bank the witness found a single large bare human-like footprint larger than his own, with splayed toes and an oddly angled little toe. The witness noted the next step would have entered the freezing stream and dense brush, noted an absence of natural sounds, and then left after resting.

Woman recalls childhood experience of a terrifying night-time encounter while camping near Kennecott Copper mine

A family group of six was inside a large tent at night during a thunderstorm when they smelled an overpowering odor and heard loud screaming approach.

An adult companion left the tent, apparently confronted the creature amid scuffling and growling, then returned pale and blocked the zipper until dawn when the group left.

Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Man recalls possible encounter at a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City

They then heard the nearby outhouse door open and slam, saw nothing when they turned on an outside light, later heard the door fling open with crashing in brush, and spent the night upstairs.

Daylight sighting off Highway 89 in the Wasatch Mountains

Adults suggested a deer or bobcat and found nothing on re-check, but the child saw the figure again in the same spot while the group was leaving.
