Multiple family members mention multiple incidents on isolated property near the Canadian border

During a severe nighttime windstorm with power out, the witness looked out an upstairs window toward a chicken coop and saw a tall dark bipedal figure silhouetted against the coop. The figure faced the house then turned and left quickly toward the woods. Household members downstairs and upstairs simultaneously heard guttural howl-like and whoop-like sounds with growls, and dogs barked intensely. Next morning a heavy trash bin lid was found displaced opposite the wind direction with trash bags missing and a trash trail into the woods.

Fishern reports knocks and trees pushed over on lake near Greenwood

Over spring and summer 2022 the witness repeatedly visited a remote trout pond to fish from a canoe. During visits the witness heard multiple tree falls and many tree knocks without seeing the source, with activity increasing to a peak in mid-August. On a mid-August visit the witness found a birch section leaned against another tree at the water's edge that had not been noticed before and later found intact birch bark on rocks blocking the trail. The witness reported strange occurrences only while on the pond fishing, not while hiking in, out, or around.

Possible track way found in the snow hear Hollis

The witness reported finding large human-like footprints in snow on an infrequently used vehicle trail at the edge of woods, with another similar print later seen beside a dirt road, and noted bent trees in the area over the course of a year. He estimated the prints were about one and a half times the size of his own foot and interpreted them as those of a juvenile Bigfoot. An investigator later visited the site with him, observed odd tree manipulations, reviewed his photos, and described him as credible.
