Dogman sighting near Lipan, Texas

At his uncle's hillside house at night the adults saw something moving trees and went with guns to look. In a flashlight beam the witness saw a huge tall creature distinguished by massive upright pointed ears. His uncle fired a shotgun and it gave the same loud girthy scream heard on the Fourth of July, after which his father carried him running back to the house.

Growl in Virginia

After getting a new puppy that alerted in panic, the guest followed it to the side deck and leaned over the edge. Something directly in front of her gave a loud huff-growl she felt physically, though she saw nothing despite a flashlight. A branch then snapped high in the tall trees to her left and fell, after which the dog had already fled inside and she backed inside.

Tracks near Eureka Springs, Arkansas

After moving to a remote wooded property, the family found a very clear large human-like footprint with toes that was photographed with a tape measure. On separate occasions the child experienced a rock thrown past him near a creek, faint whooping, small trees moving together, a high scream-like whoop followed by a tree being pushed over, and the adults heard trees breaking and splashing into a pond. Dogs that normally chase sounds fled back to the house during these events.

Tree break in Massachusetts

As a child the witness was scouting deer sign with his father when the family dog ran ahead and began yipping.

The next day they returned with another officer and found the dead dog under cover near the father's tree stand, and the father said a huge Sasquatch-like beast was responsible.

The witness was scouting remote mountain roads for fishing access when he found a newly placed stacked rock pile blocking the road. After stopping to inspect it, he heard something charge down the steep slope toward him and stop when he drew his pistol, then parallel him back to his vehicle unseen. He returned later with a hunting partner and heard coordinated whoops from multiple positions, and a few days later with a larger group found extensive tree damage, possible structures, and three sizes of bare human-like tracks.

Footsteps

The guest and his then-wife were walking near Notice Creek in Bluff Creek in the late afternoon. They heard slow footsteps in the forest duff approaching below them, then a loud crack and saw a tall tree shake violently. Frightened by the display of strength, they retreated to look from a bridge and later heard the footsteps leaving quickly.

Whoop in Georgia

As teenagers the witness and friends camped and hiked up a reputedly haunted mountain at night to look for a cabin. They were paralleled on both sides, heard whoops and powerful wood knocks and branches being ripped, then a large tree was pushed over close to them and they fled. The running camcorder captured the sounds and briefly illuminated two large almond-shaped red eyes that narrowed and turned away before the tree fell.

While elk hunting, the witness and a companion made camp on a widened logging road at dusk. They heard movement in three spots around them, then a single extremely loud branch snap like a gunshot from about seven to eight feet up directly behind the witness. Both fled to the truck, where the companion loaded a rifle and insisted lights stay off, and the next morning the area was silent.

Sasquatch sighting near Huntsville, Alabama

Two friends sat in a parked car at night on a power-line trail waiting for others. The witness saw a large silhouette block the moonlit trail beside a low-hanging limb, then take a couple steps across. Only two thick legs were visible, estimated seven feet tall with a very deep chest, and it struck the limb with an audible crack. Both occupants fled in the car and met their friends coming up.

After the initial encounter the witnesses explored a hidden bench on the hillside and found what they described as clear tree structures, including a three to four inch sapling wrapped and bent around another tree with broken branches and sticks pushed in. They felt it could not be natural and required hands and thought.

Sasquatch sighting in California

The witness was working alone overnight operating noisy machinery at a mountain job site in the rain. He heard impacts on a metal container, then saw a dark upright figure by the trees that crept toward him as rocks were thrown. He fled to his car, struggled to open a locked gate, then faced a much larger red-eyed figure that snapped a branch, vocalized loudly, and bluff-charged. He escaped in his car with damage to the vehicle.

The family found large footprints, snapped trees, log structures and arches in the woods.
