Motorist sighting of a sasquatch LAST NIGHT 25 miles northwest of Milwaukee

The witness was driving in the evening when headlights illuminated a large fur-covered bipedal figure standing beside a tree near the road shoulder. Only part of the figure was visible, but large reflecting eyes were seen during a brief few-second view. The driver called a relative immediately, and when they revisited the site with a dog a short time later, the dog whimpered and would not approach the area.

Students have a sighting at dusk close to their university in Madison

Three students walking near a lakeshore at dusk saw a tall, dark-haired biped about 100 feet away by bushes at the shoreline. They stopped and watched as it picked at vegetation, then made a purring sound that turned into a growl. The creature then walked on two legs into nearby woods making loud crunching noises, while the witnesses remained frightened.

Campers hear possible vocalization and have trailer shaken at Interstate State Park

A group camped and hiked a short trail at night to elicit responses. After a child's whoops received an immediate whoop reply nearby, two adults who stayed behind briefly heard something approach closely then step away, seeing nothing with lights. Back in camp the group saw intermittent orange eyeshine below the ridgeline, and later heard movement around camp overnight including a camper shaking.

Paranormal group experiences possible activity outside Oak Creek

Two people from a paranormal group were in a wooded park at night setting up for an EVP session. They heard knocking sounds, snorting, and sounds they interpreted as a deer being killed very close by. As they left the area they photographed eyeshine that appeared well above a three-foot-tall crop in an adjacent field.

Fall 2012 Avoca, Iowa County, Wisconsin Class B #43742

Property owner reports possible activty near Avoca

A few nights after hearing loud vocalizations at the farm, the witness rode an ATV down the driveway to close a gate. The headlights caught a very wide-set pair of yellowish-white eyes in the treeline about seven to eight feet off the ground, causing intense fear and a quick retreat after closing the gate. The next day the witness found no low branches and no accessible ground to check for tracks, estimating the eyes would have required an approximately eight-foot-tall standing figure.

Possible nighttime sighting while driving next to Kettle Moraine State Forest

A driver on country back roads at night slowed after noticing something hiding behind a tree by the road. The figure peeked out at the vehicle and then hid again. The witness described a very tall human-like face with red eyes and was disturbed that it seemed to intentionally avoid the headlights.

Possible sighting by child, and other incidents near Menomonee Falls

The witness and her young son were sleeping on the first floor to escape the heat. The son woke the witness saying a strange being was watching him.

The witness did not see it herself and asked if other reports existed in the area.

Tracks found by hunters, creature seen

The witness and his father were walking to their deer stands before sunrise when they heard something moving parallel to them and smelled a musky odor. Something ahead screamed and howled, and a flashlight revealed eye reflections several feet off the ground. They retreated to the stream and at daylight saw dark fur moving through deadfalls in the distance.

October 1985 Grantsburg, Burnett County, Wisconsin Class B #8435

Incidents around a cabin near Grantsburg

Three teenagers staying overnight at a wilderness cabin woke after 1 a.m. to see a head and broad shoulders silhouetted in a moonlit upstairs window, with lightly glowing orange-red eyes peering inside. The closest teen moved away, the figure dropped from view, and the group shut the shade and remained shaken. The family dog was unusually spooked and refused walks the next day.

Two couples shine owl and observe large hairy primate

In summer 1981 four young people parked at night with headlights toward the woods and noticed eyeshine high in the trees. When bright headlights were turned on they reported seeing a huge standing figure that turned and walked away, prompting them to flee in reverse. They returned in daylight the next day and noted a large circular area of burned grass tops.

Someone or something walks by house and peers from around a tree

As a child the witness was at home at night with siblings and a cousin when the doorbell rang repeatedly with no one there. An older brother became hysterical after seeing something peeking from behind a tree and gesturing, and later a neighbor arrived saying something had followed him in the woods. Two older girls then saw a dark form at the bottom of a trail that moved and had red eyes, and also something with a cone-shaped head peeking around a garage, and the younger children later saw a large figure pass by a window.

Rock throwing in Wisconsin (1968)

The guest's three uncles were camped for an extended summer stay in the pine area. Over three nights they heard dropping sounds and suspected rocks being thrown. One night something ran through camp kicking over the fire, after which they saw moving eyeshine in flashlight beams, rebuilt the fire, stayed up, and left the next day.

Sasquatch sighting in Wisconsin

While driving slowly through woods to shine deer fields with friends, the witness noticed orange-red eyes following the truck and made out a tall body shape. When the spotlight was on it froze, but when off it approached and could be heard walking. Deer in the field stared toward the woods and throwing sounds were heard before the group left.
