As a young child the guest went with his grandfather just before daylight to check fishing lines down a dirt path to a river bottom. The woods were unusually quiet and there was a dead-fish-like smell. The grandfather stopped the child, they heard trees and limbs breaking and heavy footsteps on the opposite hill, then turned around and left without seeing anything.

At night with windows open, the witness heard heavy footsteps breaking limbs and crunching leaves approach the bedroom window, then loud breathing in and out. The witness was paralyzed with fear until the mother pulled the witness from bed. After something struck the back of the house hard, the witness, mother, and grandmother saw a huge brown-haired form blocking the dining room window before it moved sideways toward the bedroom.

Whoop in Indiana

On one of their last nights in the house, the witness's wife woke him to listen to repeated high whoop sounds approaching over about 40 minutes. He heard spaced footsteps in leaves outside the bedroom wall within feet of his head while their dog growled. He went to the porch with a gun, heard one more loud call felt in his chest, fired into the ground, and it fell silent.

A few nights before the daylight sighting, food had been left out for deer. The witnesses heard chewing that sounded human-like and went to the balcony to look. Nothing was visible, but they heard loud pounding footsteps running away and something launching off and going silent.

The witness camped with his children in a tent on the back deck to listen to the woods. Something large stomped down the hill and stopped under the deck for an extended time. During the night he heard owls surrounding the house, a low humming sound, howls, dogs barking, a whistle, and a raspy meow-like sound, and a rock and a stick hit the tent above his head.

Sasquatch sighting

In October during high school, the guest and his brother parked on a four-wheel road to hunt and waited in the truck for daylight. Something slapped the truck with open-palm force enough to rock it, then they heard footsteps on the road. The guest stepped out, glimpsed a huge dark figure moving left to right, then grabbed lights and guns but found nothing and continued hunting.

The witness and a friend were quail hunting on the family property and heard steps following them through dense woods. After crossing a fence they watched a tall hairy biped step over the fence and move between trees to watch them before heading toward a creek. About an hour later the witness returned with older female relatives and saw a different-colored hairy leg and foot watching them from behind trees near the road.

While walking a dirt road home at night after shining fields, the pair heard a loud exhaling rush from a ditch and saw bushes erupt. They observed a large dark two-legged silhouette cross a moonlit cotton field with heavy footfalls felt in the ground. They ran to the house and later were dismissed when they told others.

Footsteps in Texas

A few years before the interview the guest walked a forest road at night in deep East Texas to see if an animal would follow him. After hiding by cane and waiting between pines, he fired his thermally sighted rifle at a heat signature following him. The animal screamed loudly, crashed through brush and splashed across a creek, and was tracked for two days with no blood or hair found.

On his first trip to the Louisiana area the guest sat all night in a tripod stand over a clear-cut meadow on a fence line. About midnight he heard heavy bipedal footsteps approach from behind without a light, then cross a barbed-wire fence. Loud clicking began and was answered from both sides as the animals moved away through brush.

The next day the men followed large barefoot tracks with very long strides and a damaged toe from behind the camp to a canyon.

Scream

The guest brought his wife to the aggressive area. Walking out, a deafening scream knocked his wife down, heard only by them though three others were nearby. She wanted to leave but stayed. That night things walked around, opened a cooler, and at 5 a.m. dropped rebar with a clang and fled.

Around 2 a.m. the guest heard clicking and movement around tents and vehicles. After hours of activity, something lifted a Dutch oven lid, charged 30 feet, pushed a fist through his tent window and then pushed its face inches from his. He held a pistol, heard a voice telling him to kick his legs, did so, and the group left chirping. Urine, prints and handprints were found.

With eight to ten people on a hillside, the group heard something run 100 yards below through aspens at high speed breaking limbs while screaming and vocalizing. It then ran behind them grunting like a gorilla and slapping trees, continuing for hours until morning.

34 years ago, late part of October Texas #772947b9-e4e4-484a-88c6-86f686cbd07e

Sasquatch sighting in Texas

The witness, then a teenager, drove to a ranch at night to hunt raccoons with a dog. The dog acted fearful, livestock were huddled, and the woods were silent before a foul odor, heavy thumps, a branch break, growls and a scream occurred. The witness then saw large red eyes and a huge upright figure at close range, froze in terror and prayed, then fled to the truck without clear memory of the retreat, later finding the dog on the road and abandoning the rifle.

Footsteps in Illinois

A woman recalls being 12 in southern Illinois and picking berries with her mother up toward a bluff and into deep woods. As they walked she repeatedly heard crunching steps following them, which her mother dismissed as rabbits and urged her to keep going without looking back. The host notes the mother's behavior suggests she may have known more than she said.
