Sasquatch sighting near Putnam County (2024)

On a quiet morning drive, the witness stopped and watched a thin dark-brown quadruped standing in the dirt road about 300 feet ahead. It lacked a visible snout or ears, looked at the witness, then drank or sniffed at a puddle and walked into the woods. The witness later photographed a partial 15-inch print in the puddle.

Vocalization in New York (2019)

A week later the witness and a companion walked past the same spot in the evening. The witness tried a deer croaker call for the first time and heard a very deep response from the woods. The sound felt unusually powerful and reminded him of the earlier exhale. He has considered it might have been a deer or a mimic.

Two see 7- 8 Foot Creature on dead end road

Two companions stopped on an unused dead-end road late at night. While one waited in the truck with the high beams on, a tall brown man-shaped animal appeared in the light. It stood still for about a minute, made a grunt sound, then turned and walked away with an unusual swaggering gait. The pair left the area in reverse, frightened by what they saw.

While taking a break during a deer drive, hunter sees 6 foot tall creature run away down hillside

The witness was deer hunting with companions and stopped to rest on a hill. A black entity about the witness's height ran very fast down the hill about 50 yards away and disappeared in about five seconds, with breaking deadfall heard as it left. The witness was startled, thought it might have been watching, and later wondered if it was a large bear or loose livestock.

August 1979 Don't Know, Hamilton County, New York Class A #6695

Encounter with Juvenile Creature

In 1979 the witness had moved ahead of a hiking group in the Adirondacks to watch beavers and was walking back to the main trail. Something flushed from thick brush ran diagonally toward the witness on the trail, pounding loudly and wailing like a woman screaming, and was seen partially as a fast, upright furry figure about four and a half feet tall. The witness initially assumed a bear cub but later doubted that because it ran upright for about 150 feet and the vocalization resembled sounds associated with Bigfoot reports.

Movement only in New York

On a hot night around a summer holiday the witness lay by an open cabin window looking into the woods. He saw flashing red, blue and yellow lights moving through trees and down a road. Others in the cabin also looked, and companions with night vision described softball-sized balls. The lights disappeared after noise and activity.
