Man observes a bigfoot in his headlights near Holiday

Husband and wife hear characteristic vocalizations in the Sautee-Nacoochee Valley

A couple at their home in northeast Georgia reported hearing a loud, unfamiliar howl- or scream-like sound late at night on about four occasions between February and mid-March 2009.

They said neighborhood dogs barked as if following something moving quickly through the area and that the sound did not resemble known local wildlife. They did not report seeing an animal.

Man finds large, human-like footprints in mud while jogging near his home (photos included)

The witness was out running and during cool down noticed possible footprints in dried mud beside a road. The impressions were larger than the witness's size 13 shoe, some showing toe impressions, spaced about 6 to 7 feet apart in a straight narrow line and sunk rather than skidded. The witness photographed the impressions but remained unsure they were actual tracks because of many nearby boot and shoe prints.

Two dogs normally nearby were absent at the time.

Hunter encounters freakishly large tracks in a field south of Cresco

The witness was hunting on public land in northeast Iowa just before dark when they found large single-file tracks in snow crossing an alfalfa field.

The tracks were estimated to be a few days old and were heading east.

Night time sighting by two witnesses at trailhead in Shawnee National Forest

The witness and her father were walking back to the trailhead parking area at night when the father noticed eyeshine in the trees to the side of the trail about 30-40 feet away. With headlamps on, they both observed shining eyes and the outline of a rounded head that turned to look at them before they turned their lights off. The figure then walked away downhill with heavy deliberate bipedal steps, paused, and remained nearby while the witness spoke softly before they left quietly. After returning home they photographed smudge marks on their vehicle that had not been noticed earlier.
