Whoop

While hunting, the witness exchanged whoops, found fresh feathers from a kill, then was paced by something in the trees. His partner called saying the same pacing was happening to him. They found a large fresh footprint straddling a ditch where it had crossed, with water still running into it.

Sasquatch sighting near Sulphur

The witness set a stocked tent and table at a campground campsite then hid with blankets over the truck windows to appear absent. After hearing trash lids, stick-dragging, post taps, a wood knock and owl-like hoots, two bipeds approached the truck and rummaged in the bed, clanking propane tanks. Later another pair ate melons at the table, and morning light revealed scuffs, an overturned generator, missing tanks, a handprint and bitten fruit.

Scream in Indiana

The witness, then a child, slipped with several other scouts into woods by a pond despite warnings. They heard splashes, heavy impacts rippling the water, bipedal steps breaking branches circling the pond, and a loud angry scream, then fled. Later that night in a shared tent they heard heavy footsteps and sniffing between tents, followed by dogs attacking something, one dog later found killed, after which the group was ordered off the property.

Sasquatch sighting in Missouri

The witness's outdoorsman friend and a companion investigated an old cabin ruin in the woods and saw a large hairy bipedal creature dive into the ruins and peer back at them from behind cover. Frightened, they left while the creature stayed behind them, its extra footsteps audible whenever they stopped, until they were out of the area.

Vocalization in New Hampshire

After the family guard dog died, the household noticed an absence of bears, deer and other animals and a series of odd events. Large and strategic trees blocked paths to the creek, owl-like hoots and coyote-like sounds approached each other then turned violent, and something breathed, growled, scraped and slapped at windows, trailer and shed, mostly when the witness worked nights. The other dog became afraid to go out alone.

34 years ago Vancouver #3f293fcc-b3e7-4184-892a-12d1580c5a1a

Sasquatch sighting near Vancouver

The witness, then 16, left a guided redwood hiking tour with a cousin and went about 100-150 yards off trail to a fallen tree. Coming around the exposed roots within about 10 feet, the witness saw a reddish-haired, broad-backed creature squatting with its back turned, first thinking it was a bear. The creature rose to near seven feet with human-like arms and legs and began turning, prompting both to flee to the tour group while hearing pursuit to the side; the witness later rationalized it as an escaped orangutan before concluding it was a Sasquatch.

Dogman sighting in Mississippi

The guest's friend was hunting hogs from a blind with a thermal scope when something came out of the woods walking on all fours. It looked canine-like with disproportionately long arms, about bear-sized, with no tail. He fired a .308 at about 80 yards and it ran off loudly through the woods for several hundred yards.

An older man said he was bear hunting from a tree stand a few miles from the cemetery. He heard footsteps and breaking limbs approach, then breathing and grunting directly below and around the tree but saw nothing. He stayed in the stand overnight in fear and ran to his truck at first light, quitting hunting there.

the morning after evening shot of deformed buck North Carolina #b51f7e7c-1e8a-4f98-baae-45f0c86c5183

Growl in North Carolina

After evening-shooting a large deformed buck that ran into the woods, the guest returned at dawn and crawled into a low briar tunnel to follow blood. A tremendous growl vibrated through him, heavy stomping approached, and a towering shadow loomed over his back with visible flexing fingers. He talked calmly while backing out, then fled. Two days later he found only the deer's ripped-off head with crumbling bone.

Sasquatch sighting in Louisiana

The witness, then a child, was wading a shallow creek fishing while the older cousin fished separately. The witness heard bipedal splashes and watched a huge hair-covered human-like figure cross the creek, climb the high bank, and eat fish from the stringer. The figure looked back and forth between the witness and the approaching cousin, then took the stringer and left the way it came. The cousin called it by a local name, said it was a Bigfoot, and made the witness swear never to mention it.

Vocalization in Kansas

While walking near a creek the witness heard something wading bipedally through water and making a lip-rattling sound similar to one the witness often makes. The witness tried to parallel it to see through an opening but only caught a brief flash of light auburn hair. After circling, the witness found a wet step on a root and bark pulled back where something appeared to have climbed out, but saw nothing further.

Man recalls adversarial encounter with an unknown creature near French Gulch

During midnight rounds at an isolated school compound, the witness crossed a suspension bridge and heard something raiding trash cans by the cookhouse. He threw rocks toward a large dark figure under the eaves, which stood erect, stepped onto the bridge, dodged thrown rocks, vaulted the bridge cables and fled upstream on two legs. He noted glowing eyes and a foul stench, then returned to his trailer without anyone else responding.

Daytime sightings by Forest Service employee near Arroyo Seco

The witness stopped to rest during an early-morning fitness run near a lake area when he heard movement on a shaded, brush-covered hillside. About 20 feet away he saw a roughly 8-foot-tall upright figure that turned its upper body to stare at him before walking quickly uphill and out of sight. Shade prevented him from seeing facial details. He returned to the station convinced the figure was not human.

Man describes history of incidents around his home outside Stanwood

In October 2006 on a dark evening, a relative was warming up and moving a car in the witness's front yard when the headlights revealed a tall bipedal creature with red eyes standing by a maple tree and rocking. The creature turned and ran into the forest, and the relative heard it moving through woods and then through water with an echo. A later retracing indicated the water was a large culvert under the main road leading toward an undeveloped green belt.

Camper details possible encounters in 2005 and again in summer 2009 near Trout Lake

A group was camping overnight at a remote forested lakeside camp. After hearing distant screams that seemed to shift position and prolonged branch-breaking around camp, the witness stayed awake listening while others slept. The witness heard heavy running and breathing pass the RV and noticed moonlight through the windows dim briefly, then later the companion's son fled his tent to the RV reporting tree-banging, movement, darkness at the tent, and a voice imitation. No one saw anything, and the next morning knocking elicited whistle replies from the woods.

Dirty white animal seen near apple orchard

The witness and a friend were sitting on a truck tailgate at night when they heard a disturbance in a crab apple tree. They approached and watched a large pale bipedal animal leave the tree and cross the highway with a swishing foot sound before disappearing. They searched with family that night without result, but the next day found scuffed tracks, broken branches, and fallen apples.
