Sasquatch sighting near Goshen, Virginia (1979)

The witness, then a young child, was walking with a small group in a scout camp to look for deer tracks. He felt another presence on a parallel path, heard cracking noises and smelled skunk. He then saw a tall dark manlike silhouette 30-40 feet away watching the group before they moved on.

Growl near Lee County

The guest and one fellow investigator camped in a research area in Lee County chosen after a Dogman report. They heard a growl, a distant tree fall, and something running around camp that was too fast to pinpoint on thermal, then found X-shaped tree structures without roots. On later visits team members saw a large dark humanoid with a conical head peek from behind a tree, found broken branches, and heard loud peacock-like bird sounds with nothing visible.

Howl in Virginia

A camping party arrived late at a ridgetop site and heard strange howling around 2 to 3 a.m. the first night. The next evening after dinner the dog fixated on brush by a steep drop, where one camper saw paired eyes at close range that avoided a flashlight, followed by branch breaks and a tall tree-like silhouette that walked from one side of camp to the road and later showed yellow eyeshine. The group packed hurriedly, secured the dog and lights, and drove home the same night feeling watched but not directly threatened.

While walking a couple miles through mountain woods with a small dog, the witness repeatedly heard sticks cracking and leaves rustling off to the side and behind for about half a mile.

Door or window contact in Virginia

After the window incident the house was repeatedly smacked, cameras caught nothing and seemed avoided, and an access door was found open. One 5am morning the girlfriend heard window pecking then saw a big black arm pass the front-door window. The witness found piled weeds at the door and two muddy handprints at that bedroom window measuring about eight to nine inches long with slightly wider fingers.

UFO sighting in Virginia

While burning cardboard at a barrel with friends, the group watched an orange lantern-like light maneuver sharply, shift color, shrink away and blink out. Immediately after, a loud roar and crashing moved up and down the adjacent woods. The group extinguished the fire and ran inside; town friends called it a cow, which the witness rejects.

Footsteps in Virginia

As a teenager the witness hunted squirrels near a pine barren when woods went silent and he felt watched. He heard a loud thump and movement paralleling him to the yard. After firing leftover rounds, something crashed up and down inside the treeline without crossing, barked at by dogs, and was heard by parents, but never seen.
