Footsteps in Utah (2022)

While lying silent, the witness heard very loud heavy footsteps stopping beside the bedroom window followed by deep huffing and grunting with massive air intake. The presence moved behind the trailer and shook a protective window panel as if trying to open it. At daylight the witness fled with cat and rifle without looking up, while the landlord revved a motorcycle and checked behind the trailer.

Vocalization in Utah (1970)

The witness describes repeated nighttime experiences from childhood into late teens where he would fall asleep and wake up outside in a field without knowing how he got there. He recalls bruises, a sensation of being held, seeing his own body from above, a bright light in his face, feeling restrained, and hearing voices urging him to come outside. The episodes stopped after he left for college, with tapping on windows and scratching also reported.

Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Man recalls possible encounter at a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside Salt Lake City

In August 1964 two teenagers were walking back to a family cabin in Big Cottonwood Canyon after dark when they heard footsteps matching their movements and a low unearthly growl. They ran through a gully to the cabin and locked themselves inside. They then heard the nearby outhouse door open and slam, saw nothing when they turned on an outside light, later heard the door fling open with crashing in brush, and spent the night upstairs.

Scream in Utah

While staying in a trailer with two coworkers late at night, the witness and others heard a female voice crying for help and bare feet running toward them. Something hit the trailer wall and rattled the locked door while the voice continued, then walked away through the woods. Older campers nearby separately reported someone pulling on their tent that night.
