Two archery hunters recall a strong smell and find large tracks near Grand Ronde

Two companions bowhunted for elk and hiked out after dark toward their truck parked behind a locked gate. Along the ridge and back to the road they repeatedly noticed a moldy, musky odor and felt as if they were being watched. Near the truck they found very large human-like footprints, about 16 inches long, overlying their own earlier tire tracks. They saw no live animal and left quickly.

Witness heard a large animal moving in the forest

While mountain biking, the witness heard a large animal moving in brush off the trail but could not see it. About 200 yards farther up the trail, the group found very large detailed footprints overlying companions' tracks, which left the trail for a meadow and reappeared crossing the road about half a mile farther on. Coincidentally encountered bear hunters also examined the prints and were unfamiliar with them.

Sasquatch sighting in Oregon (1995)

The guest and his girlfriend camped on a secluded Oregon beach in August 1995. Over about half an hour they watched a tall black figure pace the beach, then approach to close range where hair, massive shoulders, long arms and a gliding walk became clear. Frightened, they fled to their car, sought help at a nearby RV camp, and the next morning photographed large footprints in the sand. The guest later shared the photos with researchers and returned the next year to trace a worn trail into the forest.

Dusk sighting by a US Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer on the beach south of Tillamook

A couple camping on a remote Oregon beach at dusk watched a very large, dark, hair-covered biped walk back and forth on the sand several times, at times passing close by. The witness later found very large, deep footprints where it had walked and, when it approached again at night, shouted and then fled to camp. Both stayed through the night without further sightings and photographed the tracks at daybreak.

Gold prospector has evening encounter with sasquatch

The witness and a companion were camped overnight while prospecting. About an hour after dark they heard a loud minute-long scream that shifted in pitch and direction and seemed to originate just outside the camp light.

About two weeks later with landowner permission he relocated the standing spot and found large tracks in hard ground.

Father and son come across two sets of tracks while hunting near Benton

The witness and a relative were hunting in desert terrain at dawn and found no game. While walking they discovered two side-by-side lines of bare human-like footprints, one very large and one small, pressed deeply into sand. They followed the tracks for some distance to a fenced paved road where the tracks disappeared. The relative left to retrieve a camera from the vehicle but could not locate it, so they walked the road to a nearby town and then back to their vehicle and left without photographs.

Hunters notice tracks resembling those of a barefoot child in the mud of a remote logging road

Two companions were walking down a logging road toward deer blinds during bow season in October 1994 when they noticed a set of small barefoot-like prints about size 5 crossing the muddy road. They were puzzled because the location seemed remote for a barefoot child and the prints went clear across the road. They briefly joked about bigfoot, continued hunting, and the witness later recalled the incident after reading other reports.

After backing up and later returning on foot, they found a large human-like footprint in mud in the road. They heard sticks breaking, left quickly, later returned to find the track destroyed by their vehicle, and subsequent visits produced no further sightings.

Family find fresh, barefooted, humanlike footprints.

The witness and three companions drove to the top of a ridge where fresh snow covered the road. A companion spotted large fresh tracks with toes crossing the road and going down a steep draw. The men examined the tracks and noted their large size and long stride before leaving because a companion became upset. Months later they heard about helicopter-based searches in the area, which strengthened their belief the tracks were made by a bigfoot.

Two hunters recount late morning sighting near Hotchkiss

While hunting deer, the witness and companions stopped on a road overlooking a slope and watched several upright jet-black creatures for several minutes with the naked eye and optics. Two larger individuals were first seen in the open, then smaller individuals about half their size emerged from a draw. The creatures moved into brush as a pickup passed on a road below, and the witnesses later found only sliding marks in loose dirt on the steep hillside.

Witnesses report bigfoot tracks in mud along a pond; tracks led to the carcass of a beaver that appeared to have some of its entrails removed

While fishing at a beaver pond east of Gates, the witness found large four-toed tracks in mud that led into the water and looped back toward shore but could not be followed through brush. The next day the witness returned with a relative and plaster, confirmed the tracks were about 18 inches long and very deep, made a cast, and found a partially eaten beaver in the brush in the direction the tracks had headed. No creature was seen.

Various sightings by campers and ranchers along Lake Fork, a tributary of the Conejos River.

In early June 1994 the witness was fishing with two young companions at a beaver pond when an extremely loud gravelly two-toned scream was heard three times from a forested slope about 150 to 200 yards away. The witness judged the sound was not an elk or bear and left the area because the group was unarmed. The next morning the witness returned alone and found a line of very old large tracks but no definitive sign of the source.

Memory of finding tracks in snow and the attempt to keep a record south of Quarryville

Early one snowy morning a driver encountered a line of large human-like footprints crossing a road. Later that morning the witness and several neighbors inspected the trackway, which led from a field through yards, past rabbit hutches and a house, and on toward a field and wooded river hills. The prints in snow measured about 16 inches long with a stride of about 4 feet, and the witness made a tracing of the best-preserved print. The cause of the tracks was unknown to the witness and neighbors.
