like a week ago California EP 1203

Vocalization in California

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.

As a young child sharing a bedroom, the witness woke to see a tall hairy female-like face at the window across from her bed.

Daytime sighting of white creature near Dillon

Two riders on a small bike rode up a forest trail to a beaver pond and encountered a large white-furred creature squatting at the water's edge reaching into the water. The driver quickly turned the bike to leave while the passenger slipped off, glanced briefly, and saw the creature stand up much larger than a person before it disappeared from view. The pair reported the sighting to family members at the cabin but were not taken seriously.

Footsteps in Mississippi

The young witness and a friend finished fishing class and walked a short way down a trail to look toward another fishing spot. They heard a third set of footsteps that stopped when they stopped and called out with no answer. They then saw a blurry roughly six-foot-tall mass peeking from behind a thin tree about fifty feet away, left quickly, and avoided returning to that trail.

fast forward to like eight years, midsummer British Columbia EP 115

Movement only in British Columbia

While fly fishing, the witness saw large brown movement between trees and then found very large flat-footed barefoot tracks with splayed gripping toes and a midfoot bend. He followed them to a creek crossing showing very long strides up a bank. He then heard a deep chickadee-like whistle, answered it, feared it was signaling another individual, and fled.

about a year and a half ago, January, February, somewhere around there Massachusetts EP 1164

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.

when I was about 10 or 11 Round Lake, Minnesota EP 1159

Sasquatch sighting near Round Lake, Minnesota

As a child about 10 to 12 the witness was picking raspberries alone very early in the morning on her grandparents' farm near Round Lake, Minnesota. Within a few feet she noticed a very large reddish-brown hairy figure with two smaller figures on the other side of the bushes, all quietly picking berries and then crouching into tight balls with faces turned away. She kept picking past them, retreated slowly to the house, and told her grandfather, who fired shots but found nothing; as an adult she interprets them as a Sasquatch family.
