Young man walking home at 1:30am reports stalking and tree shaking near Deschutes River in Vail

After a companion fell asleep, the witness decided to walk home late at night along a road bordered by young planted trees. Something in the trees paced him from the side, stopping when he stopped and continuing when he walked. When he tried to look larger and shouted, he heard deep grunts and saw two small trees shake vigorously. He called a nearby friend for a ride and kept shouting until he was picked up.

Sasquatch sighting in Washington (2009)

The witness was scouting a creek in full camouflage on a summer afternoon when he walked to within about 20 to 30 feet of what he first took for a broken tree stump.

The creature then turned its torso and legs separately and went up an 8-foot vertical road bank in one motion, crashing through timber out of sight.
