Sasquatch sighting near Fort Hill, Pennsylvania (2024)

Around 2 a.m. the witness let dogs out and noticed two stationary red lights in the woods. From the yard edge the witness shone a flashlight that seemed to die out, then used a green laser whose beam appeared to stop on something. When the beam neared the red lights they moved together to avoid it and twinkled when spoken to. They were gone half an hour later and activity stopped.

Movement only in Pennsylvania (2019)

After moving to western Pennsylvania, the witness took his dog for a hike on Quarry Trail in Linn Run State Park. Something paced him in thick hillside brush, stopping when he stopped, followed by two tree knocks and a loud deep scream from further up. On the return the dog acted alarmed, watching the brush behind him until they reached a rock outcropping and left. A researcher later visited the same area and photographed a bare human-like footprint and overturned rocks.

Animal behaviour in Pennsylvania (2005)

The witness was deer hunting on a friend's wooded property in Pennsylvania during buck season in 2005. From a ridge he watched a single hairy biped for about 10 to 12 minutes as it broke a small pine tree, investigated the stump, and appeared to eat ants from a rotten stump. The creature sniffed the air, showed no aggression, then walked away apparently unaware of the witness. The witness noted an apparent left arm injury and described the animal as about his own height, thin, and more human-like than expected.

Sasquatch sighting near York, Pennsylvania

The guest, a delivery truck driver, was en route to a distribution center in York when he saw a large dark figure by a creek from a bridge. He stopped along with another driver to watch it, thinking it was a bear. The figure stood to about eight and a half feet, looked like a hairy human holding a dead goat or dog, grunted, slammed a fist into the water, then dropped to all fours and fled rapidly through water and woods. A state trooper who responded suggested a bear, which both witnesses rejected.
