Winter 1998 Lindon, Utah County, Utah Class B #23291

Possible sighting at the base of Mount Timpanogos (west side of the mountain)

The witness and family were playing ping-pong in the walk-out basement when the witness let the dog into the backyard. The dog barked and backed away from the neighbor's fence line, where the witness saw the moonlit silhouette of a tall figure's head above the fence. After watching briefly, the witness saw the figure duck, turn toward a ravine, and leave silently. The witness later interpreted the figure as possibly Bigfoot based on its height relative to the fence.

Late evening sighting north of Bear Valley

The witness's grandfather was collecting ore samples at night when he heard heavy human-like footsteps moving around him in the snow. He then saw a large dark shape about 40 feet away. Frightened, he ran to his three-wheeler and fired a shot toward where the shape had been after it disappeared.

Woman recalls childhood experience of a terrifying night-time encounter while camping near Kennecott Copper mine

A family group of six was inside a large tent at night during a thunderstorm when they smelled an overpowering odor and heard loud screaming approach. A large hairy figure stood over the tent, visible in lightning flashes, screaming for several minutes while the occupants huddled in fear. An adult companion left the tent, apparently confronted the creature amid scuffling and growling, then returned pale and blocked the zipper until dawn when the group left.

Fall 1968 Wheeler, Weber County, Utah Class A #2347

Witness observes a pair of glowing red eyes looking in the window.

In the fall of 1968, the witness was home late at night watching television while a small child slept in another room. After getting up, the witness saw glowing red eyes and a dark outlined shape in the window behind the chair. The witness waited, then called law enforcement to report a prowler and while waiting heard windows and the back door rattle softly. Deputies arrived much later and remarked the figure must have been fairly tall, and no tracks were found the next day because of leaves.

Scream in Utah

The witness, working as a hunting guide in southeastern Utah, waited alone for deer in a canyon in the evening. He heard prolonged loud screaming that frightened two distant guides away. After dark with a dead flashlight, he hiked up the canyon trail toward the sound and faced a tall silhouette blocking the trail before it moved aside and let him pass.
