29 August 2008 Pidgon Forge, Sevier County, Tennessee Class A #24667

Family vacationing in Pigeon Forge has two sightings on two consecutive nights driving down a mountain road

A family driving back to their mountain cabin at night rounded a turn and saw a tall, dark-haired biped walking on the roadside. All four family members watched it take several strides on the pavement before it left the shoulder and went down toward a creek without acknowledging them. The parents had glimpsed a similar figure in nearly the same spot the previous night. The next day the family found slide marks and a broken branch near the creek and learned another family had also seen the creature.

Trailer shaken and objects thrown at campers on the north rim of the Grand Canyon

On a Friday night during an archery-hunt camping trip, the witness and a relative sat by the campfire while two unseen presences circled the camp, breaking branches, pacing, and making heavy footsteps. Small rocks and sticks were then thrown into camp, including a softball-sized rock that landed nearby, followed by impacts on a food box and the trailer. Others sheltering in the trailer also heard footsteps, breaking branches, impacts, and a heavy sigh, and later a branch-like object was dragged across the trailer roof.

Two companions were driving west on Highway 26 after a fishing trip when they slowed near stopped cars.

Other stopped drivers honked during the crossing.

24 August 2008 Carbonado (edited By Investigator), Pierce County, Washington Class B #24612

Couple camping NW of Mt. Rainier hear loud vocals and footsteps

The witness and a companion camped overnight in a wooded area. Around 3 a.m. the witness heard a very loud whoop-like vocalization nearby that ended in a bird-like sound, followed shortly by a distant answering call. When the witness shone a flashlight toward the treeline, something nearby fled at a jog, producing audible heavy footsteps. The companion later reported hearing another more distant vocalization, and a morning search found no clear tracks in dense underbrush.

Rock banging, footprints and strange stripped tree on high mountain ranch near Sandpoint

The witness was working alone with a guard dog in a forest clearing being cleared for a runway when, after shutting down machinery, two series of very loud rock-banging sounds came from the shadowed tree line. The dog stayed alert but would not approach, and the witness felt watched and left without seeing the source. Weeks later he found very large deep footprints pointing toward the sound location.

Possible encounter close to the hospital in Smithers

The witness saw a tall outline about 15 to 20 feet away leaning with one arm against a tree and staring, then it turned and walked toward the road while the witness ran. Companions did not see the figure, and the next day the witness found fresh paths and broken and uprooted trees in the area.

Campers hear lengthy call and response sequence between creatures in the Giant Sequoia National Monument

Three people arrived at a meadow campsite in dark early morning hours and heard a loud call-and-answer exchange of whoops from unseen sources to the southwest and southeast. The lower-pitched calls stayed in place while higher-pitched replies seemed to move closer, with a pause in the middle, totaling roughly half an hour. The group stayed a week without seeing anyone else, and the reporter later suggested the sounds might have been Bigfoot.

Four campers have nighttime visitation and then a visual observation of a sasquatch near Estacada

The morning after a night of knocking sounds at a remote ridge camp, the witness and a companion were driving out on a logging road when a very tall dark figure ran across the road ahead of them and disappeared into the trees. They stopped at the crossing point and searched the uphill slope, where the witness found and videotaped an 18-inch barefoot-like track in moss along with other partial marks, and heard something noisy move away through the forest.

Two people training a hound at night saw bluish-green eyes watching them from about 40 yards away in the woods.

Teen hears possible knocks and vocalizations in woods across from his house outside Middleburg

The witness woke to barking dogs in the morning and went outside to calm them. From woods across the road and a vacant lot, the witness heard loud deep growling, howls, and repeated knocking sounds like a bat hitting a tree. The sounds included quieter growling afterward and then stopped, and the witness went back inside where nothing further was heard.
