Video footage shot at dusk shows a primate in a tree in the background
A group filmed their campfire in upstate New York in 1997 without noticing anything unusual at the time. Years later while transferring the tape, a viewer noticed a dark figure moving in the trees in the background. The footage is described as showing a smaller ape-like figure about five feet tall climbing and swinging between trees with great agility, and follow-up review describes a second larger bipedal silhouette nearby.
Man recounts childhood incident at his home on Oneida Lake
The witness, age 11 at the time, was in bed when a large shadow was cast on the bedroom wall from outside the window for about 20 to 30 seconds. A few minutes later the witness heard the back storage room door being ripped off and sounds of ransacking, including the freezer being opened and heavy objects moved. The next morning the storage room was found in disarray with the door off, faint scratches without tool marks, and frozen foods missing.
Woman followed by large, dark shape in the experimental forest on the campus of SUNY College
The witness was walking alone through a small college forest on a trail to work on a dark winter evening. Something off the trail followed alongside her, keeping pace and making increasingly loud breaking and movement sounds, and she glimpsed a very tall blocky dark shape moving beside her while hearing breathing. She stayed on the trail with it alongside until the edge of the woods, then ran to a nearby building while it remained in the woods.
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. A tall shape then appeared at the side window, and they remained huddled inside without sleep until morning. Next morning they found barefoot-like prints with a wide stride going up a steep embankment near the creek.
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.
Sasquatch sighting near Putnam County

Paranormal encounter near Whitehall, New York
The writer had recently moved to Whitehall and was lying in bed when he began crying uncontrollably. A door slammed open and heavy footsteps and furniture movement were heard downstairs, then something came up the stairs.

Sasquatch sighting near Allen, New York
The witness and the same young relative were carrying camping gear near a hayfield at sunset and noticed a dark figure deep in the field. Through weak binoculars it looked broad-shouldered and massive, sitting or crouching with its rear low, and it turned to show head and shoulders and walked with a swaying stagger. They went inside to get adults, and when the adults came out it was gone.
Sasquatch sighting in New York
A school friend later told the witness about riding bicycles with others over a mountain toward town at night. The group saw a very large figure drop about seven feet from a roadside stone wall, land on one foot and spring off the same foot across the road into the woods. The friend wondered how any person could move that way without gear in the dark.
