Summer 2008 Selma,, Josephine County, Oregon Class B #25445

Possible knocking heard by husband and wife while camping on their gold claim in Fiddler Gulch

The witness and his wife camped at their claim in Fiddler Gulch over the weekend of June 15, 2008. On several mornings and evenings they heard the same paired cracking sound, like a branch striking a tree, with about two seconds between beats. There was little wind, and the wife suggested expanding or contracting burnt trees as a cause. An investigator later suggested the sounds could have been wood knocks, citing unusually tame deer lingering in camp at the same time.

A few days after finding a large footprint near a swamp by his home, the witness was inside his house just after dark when a very long loud howl was heard.

A short time later a second, lower-pitched and more distant vocalization was heard, which the witness felt came from a second source.

November 2007 Axson, Atkinson County, Georgia Class B #26396

Possible daylight sighting of a juvenile sasquatch on all fours by a deer hunter near Axson

While driving on dirt roads through planted pines to a hunting stand in daylight, the witness saw a black hairy animal on all fours emerge from the woods. From about 50 feet he watched for about 10 seconds as it loped down the road with an uneven back motion and then disappeared into the woods on the other side. He noted thin legs with longer rear legs, no visible tail or ears, and a head held low, which did not match a bear or loose cow to him.
