Possible vocalizations heard near East Canyon Reservoir
The witness reports hearing very loud recurring screams and hoot-like sounds coming from canyons near a relative's home in northern Utah over several years, first paying attention to them while camping overnight with a young relative. The sounds are described as fierce, deep, growling and primate-like with a low-frequency component, with calls lasting up to about 15 seconds in series of five or six, sometimes followed by whoops, heard at dusk or night from a mile or so away. Other family members are reported to have heard the same vocalizations over about ten years. The witness, described as a hunter familiar with native animal sounds, found alleged bigfoot recordings similar but not exactly the same.

While hunting elk at dusk, the witness and a companion climbed out of a draw and surprised a tall black hair-covered creature about 30 feet away.

On a solo elk hunt in the same area the witness hiked through stripped timber and a bone scatter to a bowl holding many bedded deer. While returning near sunset he was followed by something matching his steps that he could not see, then heard growls from behind and across the creek. He kept a fire lit while packing and left camp, later reconsidering cougars as the source after hearing similar growls described as Sasquatch-related.
Hunter hears vocalizations, basketball-sized rocks rolled toward him
The witness was deer hunting alone in the morning when he heard an extremely loud low growling sound from dense cover upslope. He could not see the source even with binoculars, but saw branches shaking about nine to ten feet up and two basketball-sized rocks roll out of the cover toward him.

He jumped across the creek and ran to camp without seeing the source.

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.

He fled toward approaching headlights, fell down a drop to the road breaking his collarbone, and was picked up by a passing couple who took him to a ranger station.
