Sasquatch sighting near St. Anthony, Idaho (1940)

As a young teenager bringing cows across a canal near dark, the diarist saw a large bear-like figure standing on hind feet by a sapling 600-700 feet away and felt intense chill. Cows were undisturbed and his father was unconcerned. Next morning with his friend [name withheld] he found a huge bare footprint in wet mud under the sapling, estimated 8.5-9 feet tall using [name withheld]'s height, and nearby found a stick-bed with a strong repulsive odor.

Boy sneaks up on huge "man" at edge of playground at night

On a windy night in fall 1976, a teenager out walking reached a school track and noticed a very tall, naked, hair-covered figure standing near a baseball backstop. The witness hid behind a transformer and watched the still figure sway slightly for a few minutes before slipping away unseen. A check the next morning found no clear tracks.

BFRO YEAR: 1995/96 Morrisville, Lamoille County, Vermont Class B #1179

Highpitched vocalizations heard near Morrisville

The witness was visiting a relative's remote cabin in Vermont late at night when the group heard a loud, child-like screaming approaching from a wooded ridge. The source was described as moving quickly along the ridge and disturbing dogs as it passed. It approached to within about 100 feet of the porch where the witness stood with a relative, then turned and left down the valley. The only visual was a dark shape with eyeshine about four feet off the ground, and the source was never identified.

Large figure prowls around cabin outside Williamstown

Two friends were staying overnight in a cabin by a creek when late at night someone tried the locked door and did not answer.

Next morning they found barefoot-like prints with a wide stride going up a steep embankment near the creek.

BFRO YEAR: 1989,1993 Essex County, New York Class A #1522

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.

The animal turned its head toward the vehicle, showing red eyes, then continued across the road. When the car reached the crossing point, the occupants saw a tall, large silhouette standing motionless beside the road. They became frightened and drove quickly to a house.

Annapolis resident sees 9-10ft shadowy figure in driveway at 1:30am

The witness's brother spent the night alone in a camper parked in the driveway. Around 1:30 a.m. he watched a shadow move across the curtained window and translucent roof, apparently cast by a neighbor's porch light, as something slowly circled the camper while lightly tapping its sides. The next morning the family found fingerprint smudges, a large handprint, and large toeprints in spilled sand.
